Select Extras
Select IPSW, pick the firmware 3gs 6.0 you downloaded.
Click OK "screen stated that the ipsw is successuflly identified."
Go back to Jailbreak Screen
Select Jailbreak
Uncheck everyhing and check ipad baseband downgrade.
and start the process and step.." PUTTING IT INTO DFU MODE"

      I tried these steps, however my phone would restart at the activation phase. I put the phone back into DFU Mode and restored from itunes. The first time I attempted to restore I got an error 21, however my second attempt was successful. Hopefully this helps.

      redsnow said that its done but my phone is not responding and eventually got stuck at the codes for a long time, and i decided to wait for another while.. but still nothing happened... the coding stated that Cache failed.. does that mean i have to start all over again?
