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.

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.

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.

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.

Cannot downgrade to ios6 or ios5. now what ?

A long time ago, I updated my iPhone4 to IOS7.from ios6 to ios7. Is there a way to downgrade back to ios6 or ios5? thanks for support!

The iPhone 4 is very old. The reason IOS 7 isn't that great for you is because its running old hardware. Yes Apple were very kind to let you guys have IOS 7 but at the end of the day iPhone 4 really wasn't made for it. That's why iPhone 4 cannot have IOS 8

HT4623 How to downgrade iPhone from ios6 to ios5 without jailbreaking?

How to downgrade iPhone from ios6 to ios5 without jailbreaking?
It is uncomfortable to use Appstore and uninformative Apple maps.
I regret, that I updated my iOS5, can I get it back?

Sadly, Apple is amazingly good at keeping users from downgrading an iPhone. For some reason, a prior update (5.1.1) bricked my 3GS, and that's how I learned the hard way how firmly Apple had control of the upgrade/downgrad process. I find that annoying, as well as the fact that Apple "pushes" (figureatively and literally) updates on users, many of whom simply update immediately, without realizing there could be a downside. I've been amazed at how many non-techy iPhone using friends have complained to me about maps, and they wish they had never updated to iOS 6.
Anyway, I'm still using iOS 5 on my iPhone 4S, as I just feel too attached to my good old Google-based Map app (and the web version of Google Maps is really very different than the App version -- I tried it, thinking I would finally update my iPhone, but was really dissatisfied with the web version). I do know iOS 6 is superior in many ways, but for now, I am just that attached to my good old Map app.

You cannot. Downgrading is not supported by Apple.

Can you downgrade back to IOS5.1.1

I downloaded IOS6 but now its saying after i cant use it cause im not registed and i dont wanna pay for the year so how can i downgrade back to IOS5.1.1 cause the iphone is coming up on itunes but sending me a link asking me to register i have but still says the same

All you have to do to downgrade is plug in your device into iTunes and click restore. Let it do it's thing and you'll be back on 5.1.1. And if that doesn't work. Just search on google for its 5.1.1 for your device and download it. And after that shift then click on restore and browse for your the 5.1.2 firmware (for windows) and Mac use (alt) and click restore. Hope this helps cause I'm sure everybody with an apple device has done so,etching crazy like him so stop judging the man. Or woman.

Issue with Emoji icons when sent from iOS6 to iOS5

Issue with Emoji icons when sent from iOS6 to iOS5, all icons appear as a square on the iOS5 message screen.
Both iOS are the current version and the phones are 4S 64GB
Anybody got this problem

Hi!
What kind of RFC do you use? If you use synchronous RFC the caller waits for the answer/result of the called function. In normal cases this should solve your issue.

HT5429 Does Apple provide steps to Rollback from iOS6 to iOS5.1.1?

The new Maps app is an absolute fail.
By upgrading to the new OS, I've lost all the location, interest point, and transit data that was provided by Google.
I bought one of these "Routing Apps" in order to add transit routing to the Apple maps app, and Apple Maps does not even recognize it.
Why would they step back in time like this?
I need help rolling back from iOS6 to iOS5.1.1, FAST. Otherwise I'm buying an Android phone.

I'm in a similar position. I updated last night and suddenly everything is running slowly, the App Store and iTunes is virtually unusable, but most apps too. I had no network problems though like some people.
I desperate to roll back to 5.1.1 but can't find it any where. I'm so angry, everything was fine two days ago before this update. And don't get me started on the new maps app. Incredibly slow at rendering even with my super fast broadband, and the res is very low too when you zoom in.
Can anyone help?

Does downgrading my iPhone from iOS6 to iOS5 break Apple's terms and conditions?

Hi everyone!
I've installed the iOS6 on my iPhone 4s yesterday and was really disappointed by the fact that it drains the battery much faster then iOS5.
I found some instructions on the internet on downgrading the operating system on the iDevices.
So I downloaded the 5.1.1 and am about to downgrade it.
But before I do it, I would like to know if it breaks any of Apple's terms&conditions.
And will I loose anything (except for iOS6) after performing the downgrade.
Thanks in advance!
