[QUOTE="Kash, post: 797767, member: 23444"] It's because those updates tend to get rid of software unlocks. I'm not exactly sure whether you can successfully downgrade the software. You could try downloading the older firmware, hold Shift while pressing restore in iTunes, and then select the older firmware file. Theoretically it should work, but you may very well lose your backup as it has most likely been converted to work with the newer firmware. You will also have to very likely unlock the phone again. You should also search around to see if an unlock is available for the firmware version you're running. [/QUOTE]
