Downgrade ios6 to 5.1.1

Hello I need a serious help, i upgreade to iOS6 but i did not like it and i want to go back to iOS5.1.1 i saw many videos on youtube to resture it by useing iTunes and did not work with me every time i see an error cannot restore, how can i solve this issue? Thank you

Sounds to me like you cant... If you did the update, and then plugged your phone into your computer, you have already backed it up to the new software. Besides, if you downgrade, you will lose accessability to many of your apps. This is a Major update and almost all apps will not run without iOS6. You will also lose access to the appstore, FT, find my iPhone and many other evry important apps.

Why Cant we downgrade IOS6 to IOS5.1.1

Why Cant we downgrade IOS6 to IOS5.1.1 ?

because seemingly, we haven't purchased our devices from apple but have got them on rent!!! and therefore, we are not allowed to use the os of our choice. we have to use what apple thinks is good for us.
i love their hardware, software, experience and all but their attitude towards policing their customers is totally unacceptable.

Is there anyway to downgrade ios6 to ios5 on iphone4?

Is there anyway to downgrade ios6 to ios5 on iphone4? I am not happy with the new Apple map...

Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.

MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.

Waze is another very well reviewed app.

It's dumb to DOWNGRADE because of ONE feature.

Help Me Downgrade iOS6 to 5.1.1

Well well well, After Hours and hours of trying to work my way through endless itunes errors iv finaly decided to ask for help.. Im sure someone out there can help me..
I got my partner an iphone 3GS a while back Came on vodaphone and she wanted it on three so i got lazy and took it to the shop for a quick easy network unlock. Got it back with cyidia etc so he had unlucked it through the jailbrake but she was happy with that, at the time ios 4.2 was the latest so thats what its been on ever since, no problems at all. Happy days,,, Well so I thought.
As of recent she did a reset and wiped her apps- Big mistake!! wish she had spoke to me before she had done it beacuse now all the apps require a newer iOS and i cant upgrade to iOS6 beacuse there aint a jailbrake or network unlock available ( as far as i know ) so this would mean she would be back on vodaphone and that isnt a good thing when you have a £25.00 per month sim only contract on three.
So whilst it was still on 4,2 I decided to use reds0w (latest version) and a guide online to helpme upgrade from 4.2 to 5,1,1, I folowed the guide word by word, downloaded the stock 5.1.1 ISPW then customised it on redsn0w and saved it, I then put the phone into pwned DFU mode and went over to iTunes and used the shift + click on restore found my custom NO_BB ISPW i had made and then this is where all the errors came pouring in. So i started working my way through them. Right now i had added to the host files. Used iREB-r5 to boot using there DFU as it supposed to stop errors etc etc but nothing still not allowing me to restore to my custom ISPW Iv been getting the 1600's errors so i downloaded a registry cleaner, Deactivated my AVG and firewall and its still coming up. so I had a little look round the net for downgrading rather than trying to trick iTunes to upgrade the device by making it believe it was restoring and i came across a few threads here and there and then decided to just dive in the deep end and see if i couldnt swim and i was clearly drowining the other way. The iOS upgrade went smoothly just had to remove one of the files i had added to the hosts to allow it to contact and verify via apple and I am now on iOS 6. My 4s is running it and am quite happy as im in no need to hack it as i have ipads for that
So my question is can one of you iPhone nuts help me get my Gals phone back working so i can have my 4s back. Ideally a step by step guide and a bit of support if things dont go to plan would be amazing.
Thanks for reading....

I don't know whose instructions you followed, but Apple does not
support downgrading to a previous version of iOS.
If you would state the problem(s) you are having with iOS 6, someone
will offer a solution.

Downgrade ios6 to ios5

I want to downgrade my ipad3 and iphone 4s from ios6 to ios5.1.1 so that I can use Google Maps again. I need to do this before my travel season starts in about a month. If this can't be done in time then I'll have to look elsewhere.

There is no Apple supported downgrade path.

Downgrading IOS6 to IOS5 from stored synchronisation result

On my PC I have fropm the last synchronisation IOS5. Unfortunately upgraded to IOS6, which I deeply regret. Got already an answer that Apple does not allow downgrading.
But what happens if I connect to Itunes, mark "repair" whereby I am give the choice to repair either from scratch or from my last synchronisation (which is IOS5)
Would it work?

Don't do it. Attempting to downgrade is very likely to permanently and irreversibly break your iPhone, if not right away, perhaps when you try to upgrade its OS in the future.
Your warranty will also be void:
Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks the iOS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of the iOS is a violation of the iPhone end-user license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743
I found some instructions on the internet on downgrading the operating system on the iDevices.
Yes, and you will also find dozens of pleas for help on this forum every day, asking what to do when downgrading bricks their phone. The only guaranteed solution is to buy a new one.

Iphone 5 batt problems after ios6.1.2

Hi guys,
Someone, please teach me how to downgrade ios6.1.2 to ios.6.0.... Greatly appreciated!

not that I am aware of. I have a 4S with 6.1.2 and my battery life is noticeably MUCH worse. Waiting for an update to be released that addresses this. It seems to be semi wide spread.
Here are some tips from Apple: http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html

HT201210 how can i donwgrade ios 6.1.4 to 6.1.3

Hello, Apple I would like to ask you one thing, how can I downgrade ios6.1.4 to 6.1.3, please?

Hi saroth,
Sorry - we are not Apple here - we are just users like you. There is no official way to downgrade IOS.
Cheers,

Is there any way I can get back to ios6 on my iPad? The new ios7 is a major disappointment, especially visually, and would love to "downgrade" back to ios6. Any advice how to do this?

Is there any way to downgrade back to ios6 from the new ios7? I made a major mistake in downloading the new operating system. It is a major disappointment, particularly visually, and would love to get back to the more user friendly ios6 on my iPad. Last time I experienced a similar disappointment was when I tested the new Microsoft 8. In that case I was luckily able to stick to the previous operating system.

Thanks. Pitty, seems like Apple suddenly created more competition for itself. The edge is gone and Apple is also now into "art for art's sake".

You couldn't go back to 5.0.1 even if you wanted to, it would have to be 5.1.1 but if you had a signed copy of the iOS 6 beta on your iPhone I don't believe you can go back.
You can try Google to see if you can find a workaround. Despite the map issue, if you are a developer don't you need the Beta on your iPhone?
