Downgrading firmware without unlocking.

Hello,
1. How can I downgrade the firmware version _without_ unlocking the device?
2. Does it break the warranty if I unlock my phone only to downgrade the firmware?
3. How can I relock the device once it is unlocked? Does Emma have this feature?
Thank you

Why do you want to downgrade your phone? You can use flashtool, as for the warranty, it could this is how

How to downgrade firmware without Airport Utility?

Since updating my Express firmware to 7.5.x I have not been able to connect to the internet.
After factory resets I am not even able to connect to the Express through Airport Utility even though it see's the router.
After six hours of trying and reading various post on the latest firmware it appears that it must be this latest firmware that is the problem.
I want to go back to 7.4 or 7.3 firmware on my Express but how can I do this without using Airport Utility?

You can't. Try a factory default reset on the AX again as follows:
Power it off for 30 minutes
Hold in the reset button and while you continue to hold it in, plug the AX back in to power
Keep holding the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly and hold another 3-4 seconds when you see this and then release
Allow 40-45 seconds for the AX to restart until the amber light is blinking slowly. Then, temporarily connect an ethernet cable to the AX from your computer. Restart your computer and Open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click directly on the word "Version" (3rd line) and you will be able to choose the firmware version you want.
There's no guarantee this will work, of course, if there is some other internal issue on the AX.

Is there a way to program an ICE (in case of emergency) number that is accessible without unlocking the phone? Not 911, but a family member in my contacts?

you can now set up an Emergency Contact in 'Medical ID' in the Healh app. When someone goes to the lock screen and switched to the Emergency call, they can click on the link Medical ID and then contact your emergency person. It also lists your age, allergies, and illnesses if you need it to.

Is there a way to put an ICE (In Case of Emergency) entry that is available without unlocking the iPhone?

I am thinking that it would be a real enhancement (although I hope I would never actually need it) to have an ICE entry that is available without unlocking my phone. I use a passcode on my phone so if I were incapacitated in some way it would be good if emergency responders could get to my ICE entry. Ideally it would also have a place to list meds that I take and any important medical conditions that might be relevant. Obviously, not everyone would want to list this stuff in a way that could be access by unauthorized people, but many (maybe most) people would really benefit from it. For example, if I had high blood pressure and was taking meds for it, that might be sometheng that an EMT or ER Doctor might want to know before treating me. Lots of people wear medical id tags but this would be better, I think.

You could put an ICE number on your Lock Screen Wallpaper. The finder could then call that number from another phone.
I have this on my Lock Screen Wallpaper... "This iPhone belongs to xxxx xxxx. If found, please call xxx-xxx-xxxx". I created it using the Notes app, took a screenshot and then selected that as my wallpaper.

Pager app that can be viewed without unlocking the phone

I am looking for a pager app where the pages can be viewed without a person unlocking the phone or knowing the passcode to unlock. A doctor I work for wants his pages to come through to hs phone, but he doesn't want the nurses and others who check the pages for him to be able to go through his phone and see his personal information such as texts and emails. Is there any kind of app that would allow viewing of only the pages sent to him without unlocking the phone and giving multiple people access to any information in the phone? Currently, he just carries a pager as well as his phone which is not ideal. Thank you!

Hey guy;
I have the same problem and I do anything you can imagine. If you leave your phone about two or three days and after that plug in it your phone will be power on but your problem doesn't fix. I tried to restore as a new phone, reset all my settings and also I contacted Apple Support but I couldn't fix it. I think that it would be a software issue because it occurred right after iOS 6.1.3 update. It look likes that we have only two choice. First choice is waiting until Apple release next iOS update and check it in our phones, and the other choice is visiting an Apple retail store to diagnostic our phones for hardware issue.

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road.

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road while driving. For that reason, I'm also not interested in adding in headphones or additional devices that have the desired button functions. Going both forward and back would be great but I would be pleased just to have a "sight-free" way to go forward.
I've seen some mention here and there about ways to maybe change it so the volume buttons change tracks and holding the volume buttons changes the volume... but I don't know what's involved in that or if its even possible/recommended for a new 5th gen iPod. I think its a great device but its sadly lacking in music oriented functions and features... which is disappointing since music is why most people would bother getting one instead of some other "iDevice" :/

Given that you cannot do what you have asked for, perhaps you simply need to find another solution to your root problem.
Presumably, you want to skip to the next track because you don't want to hear the current one, and that is because...
You don't like it.
You've heard it recently and don't want to hear it now.
Simply don't want to hear it at this time.
For problem number 1. Don't put it on the iPod in the first place. (I know, obvious answer!)
For problem number 2. How about playing from a Smart Playlist (initially created in your iTunes Library) which has only songs you've not played recently?
For problem number 3. Hhhmmm! Create alternative Playlists for use in the car.
As for going back to the start of the "now playing" track.... Well, if your Playlist has only songs that you really, really want to hear, then you'll be looking forward to that rather go back to the beginning of the current song.
I'm not trying to be prescriptive, just giving you food for thought.
(They are all cheaper options than buying a car which can control the iPod from the steering wheel.)

Podcast woes, would like to downgrade firmware iPod nano (4th gen.)

Hi,
Every since I upgrade my iPod nano to firmware version 1.0.4, I can't seem to make playlists where multiple podcasts play one after the other - in all cases, it plays one podcast, then stops. As I love listening to podcasts during running, this implies that I have to pull out the iPod every time and select a new podcast manually... quite annoying. This even holds for podcast playlists made "on the go" - it plays the first podcast, then stops.
In light of this, I'm wondering whether there's a way to downgrade the firmware, as if I recall correctly, 1.0.3 didn't have this issue. I can't seem to find the firmware anywhere, though, and from going through the discussion forum it doesn't seem to be something supported by Apple. I'd appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this issue, either by pointing out a walkaround, or by indicating whether downgrading firmware is possible at all...
Many thanks,
Philipp

My 4th Gen iPod Nano won't turn on once it is off the USB cable. If it is connected to the iMac (iTunes 10.1 (54)) it works perfectly well (synchronizes, plays music). Have tried to reset it (holding the Menu and Center buttons) and to reset it to its original settings (current SW version is 1.0.4) and it still wont work.
Any suggestions?

How to downgrade firmware using Airport Utility 6.0?

Found descriptions for how to do it using older versions of the Airport Utility.
In the current version 6.0 of Airport Utility running in Lion, all the manual setup options appear to be gone. No option for downgrading firmware I can find either.
Having the dreaded "disk spins up every few seconds" issue with the TC 7.6.1 firmware. Want to try downgrading to 7.5.2 - am told that will fix the problem before the disk destroys itself.

Hold down the option key.. when you select the different firmware.. it will then offer all that are available..
The very latest TC will not allow you to downgrade beyond 7.6.0 for some reason.. although the first of the Gen4 were sold with 7.5.2 if it didn't come with that level firmware it might not be able to go back to it.
Have you totally isolated the TC from the network.. reset it.. does the disk still spin up and down.. if so return for warranty exchange.. it is faulty. Otherwise start plugging in computers.. or connecting by wireless. give it a new wireless name.. add devices one by one until you find which is causing constant disk access. You might need to then do a reinstall to rid that device of the issue that is affecting the TC.

Downgrading Firmware

hi, I'm new on this board. i was wondering about downgrading firmware for the BEFW11S4 V.2 model. an update is causing problems with an online gaming service. this has been going on for a year, but i only identified the problem a day ago... i have gotten access to the ftp site, but the firmware for my model is only european. i was wondering if this will work, and how to go about "installing" it on my router. thank you in advance!

You could try to upgrade the router's firmware. Use for new firmware is to fix bugs that have been discovered with the router. Try to download here. That would link you to Linksys download page for new firmware of a version 2 BEFW11S4.

A contract-free phone is not the same thing as an unlocked phone.
If you purchase it through a carrier, it will very likely be locked to that carrier.
In the US, Apple stores, and only Apple stores, sell unlocked phones. The same may hold true in Canada.
Also keep in mind that warranty service will only be available in the country where you purchased the phone (Canada) and you will have to either send it to a friend/family member to get it repaired or make the trip yourself. Apple will not accept a shipment from outside the country of purchase.
Finally, while an iPhone from one country will generally work anywhere in the world, you may find that you do not get 4G speeds/full compatibility with a network outside of the country of purchase.

I have installed IOS5 on my iPhone. There is supposed to be a camera icon on the lock screen giving the ability to take a photo without unlocking the phone. That camera icon does not appear. Help, please.

Double click your home button when the phone is locked. The camera icon will show up then.
