Downgrade from ios 5.1.1 to 5.0.1

How do i downgrade my device from ios 5.1.1 to 5.0.1?

If there is a way to upgrade an OS then why not to downgrade it??? I'm bit frustrated with IOS 5.1.1 in my IPhone 3GS. It often goes to No Service (once in 10 mins) and sometimes never show network back!!

Is there a way to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 without any unauthorised modifications (e.g. jailbreaking)?

I found this piece of information: http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/18/downgrade-ios-6-beta-to-ios-5/ Yes, it's about downgrading from iOS 6 beta, not iOS 6, but the way to downgrade to a previous version of iOS is basically the same.
I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1 and an iPod touch 4 running iOS 5.1.1 as well. None of them is 'jailbroken'. I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS 6 for exploring it a bit more and reverted back to iOS 5.1.1. How? I did it the way stated by the website I mentioned above: just by Option-Clicking the 'Restore' button on iTunes and select the iOS 5.1.1 software. No need to enter recovery mode or DFU mode whatsoever.
In fact, Apple doesn't allow users to downgrade to a previous version of iOS: 'Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.' (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694) The reason why I could downgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 5.1.1 may be, as the above website said, 'Typically you can’t downgrade iOS versions so easily, but because Apple is still signing iOS 5.1.1 this allows downgrading to commence with minimal effort.'
I was wondering whether I could revert all the way from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 (the version that was shipped along with the launch of the iPod touch 4 in September 2010). (for experimental purposes)
I downloaded the iOS 4.1 (a list of iOS software: http://osxdaily.com/2010/10/30/download-ipod-touch-firmware-ipsw/) and tried Option-Clicking when restoring this iOS 4.1 — no luck. iTunes said 'This device is not eligible for the requested build'. And I did a bit of research and found that there are ways to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1, but it seems you have to jailbreak the device, which is complicated and I don't want to do.
So, is there a way to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 without any unauthorised modifications (e.g. jailbreaking)? Thanks in advance.

No, downgrading from any version of iOS to an earlier version is not supported.

Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24?Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6 when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the backup?

There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
It will always restore to the latest available software.

How to downgrade from ios 8.0.2

how come there is no way to downgrade from ios 8.0.2 to ios 7 !!! i don't think its legal from apple to close the way back
but let me ask may be there is something i don't know
is there any way back to ios 7.1.2 ????
thanks

There is no way to downgrade. Apple probably doesn't allow it because then people would downgrade a lot. People rarely like the new update when they download it. Also, Apple doesn't support past iOS things…So if someone is on iOS 3, Apple wouldn't support fixing problems or whatever (if I remember right).
So, sadly there is no way to downgrade. Sorry!

How to downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

How to downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

A handful of people scream about every update that is ever put out. It is the nature of technology and blame. Perhaps try addressing your issue instead of blaming yet another update. you would never had of installed 8.2 if you took these forums as any true representation of iOS users.

How to downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to ios 7.1.2

I think the best iOS version for iPad mini 1st gen was 7.1.2.
I use my iPad with music production software and still it was on 7.1.2 I got no problems, but now I'm in trouble using AudioBus for memory problems when I record to a DAW. Synth softwares are laggy, many crack here and there, like it has no more power to reproduce all the voices I need.
Really the only way is the jailbreak? 8.1.1 is not optimized for older devices: the update had to be not released through iTunes.
Bye.

How to downgrade from iOS 8.1 to 7.1.2 for iPhone 5 ?

Dear Experts
How to downgrade from iOS 8.1 to 7.1.2 for iPhone 5 ?
The situation is that in Hong Kong, I bought the iPhone 5 for my mainland China friend.
The seller said that the iPhone 5 was brand new and was come from USA.
I found that iPhone 5 was in iOS 8.1. I wonder that why brand new iPhone 5 would be installed in iOS8.1?
My friend finds that the response of iPhone 5 is so late.
He prefers to downgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
Please reply.
Thank you
Regards
Lawrence

You can't downgrade from iOS 8.0.2 to iOS 7.0.4 any more, because Apple has closed the access to verify iOS 7.0.4.

How to downgrade from ios 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 on iphone 4s???

how to downgrade from ios 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 on iphone 4s??? i feel ios 5.1.1 is more comfortable so i wanna downgrade... but i couldnt... can anyone tell me how to do it??

You don't. There is no supported way to downgrade iOS. Attempting to do so will void any warranty, forfeit all rights to support, and could very well brick the phone.

Downgrade from IOS 6 to IOS 5

downgrade from IOS 6 to IOS 5

And I'll say what I've said elsewhere
I'm a software developer and support eningeer. New releases may have bugs, I accept that as a reality.
But, every reasonable software company allows users to downgrade from a brittle upgrade especially within the frst few weeks and especially when the customers are unhappy.
So, basically, it's as though Apple is not paying attention to those of us whos devices are un-usable or buggy to use. It also seems as though it might be relatively trivial to enable revert to the older version (trivial meaning maybe a few days work). Even if it were a bit more effort the payback in good-will and reputation would be sizable.
A suggestion for Apple: since you want careful control over IOS then if a user wants to revert to 5.1.1 perhaps they could fill out a web form with all their iTunes info and the reason they wish to downgrade and you could enable the install for just those who request it?

How can you downgrade from ios 7.1.2 to 6.1.3

hello everyone can you please help me i need to downgrade from ios 7.1.2 to ios6.1.3 because my ipad dosent work realy well with it can you plese help me

Downgrading isn't possible. iTunes won't install iOS versions older than the latest compatible release, and if one's somehow installed anyway, Apple's servers won't activate the device afterwards.
