How do I safely rollback from iOS 4.1 to iOS 4.0.2 without jailbreaking?

Hi peeps.
I recently updated my shiny new iPhone 4 to iOS 4.1, and like quite a few other users, I'm starting to cone across the annoying battery drain issue. After some digging around, I eventually managed to find the supposed answer to this located here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2583845&tstart=135), so I am now fully decided that I want to rollback the OS to 4.0.2 and be content without the HDR or Game Centre until a bug correction comes out.
The only thing is, rolling back to 4.0.2 seems quite complicated, and it seems as though I'll have to jailbreak the phone in order for it to be done, which I'm determined not to do with this phone.
Can anyone advise me on how best to safely (within the warranty) rollback the phone? Could an Apple Store do this for me as well?

HI,
Perhaps not such a good idea.

  • How do I down grade from iOS 7

    How do I down grade from iOS 7?
    the new ios 7 isnt as good as 6 and as a custerm would like to go back to ios6 as soon as possible.
    the phone is become too slow to use.
    other bugs seem to freeze the phone
    the graphics are poor and not in the normal competant apple style.

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.
    You may leave comments at Apple Feedback.

    i have model a1367, 8gb, 4th generation ipod touch.  how do I update it from ios 4.2.1 to 6 or more?

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for a fourth generation iPod touch.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

    You cannot downgrade the iOS, there is no supported method.
    Google streetview was not lost, Google Maps were removed from iOS6 and replaced with Apple Maps.

    There are no free ways to do it that I have seen. However, Reflector is reasonably priced. http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/

    You'll want to enable Manually Manage Music and Videos. Once you do that you'll be able to drag and drop the music from the computer to the iPod.

  • How to delete SMS attachments from IOS 6.0

    Does anyone know how to delete SMS attachments from the iPhone - They are still located on the phone after the messages associated with them have been deleted.  I am sure that previous versions of IOS deleted the attachment when the message was deleted.
    The issue being for me is that the phone is now getting cluttered with unwanted phot

    You need to "void the warranty" and then buy iExplorer or a similar program, and THEN you can access the SMS library to delete them.   Apple admits this problem yet hasn't bothered to fix it.   Those SMS attachments should have been deleted all along, but they were being stored in an inaccessible location.  Thus, Apple's customers are unable to fix Apple's mistake; meanwhile, our iphones' space is being minimized because of Apple's bug.

  • How can videos be uploaded from iOS iPhoto to Flickr when they cannot be selected. (The Flickr iPhone app always gives a vague error message when video upload is attempted.)

    I am trying to upload short MP4 videos from my iPad 2 running iOS 5.1.1 to Flickr. These videos were taken on a Panasonic FZ150, and I am able to upload videos from this camera from my iMac when I am at home. (I am currently thousands of miles from home, which is why I want to upload from my iPad.)
    I can upload photos from iOS iPhoto, but when I select videos, the selection count does not increase, and so they are not uploaded.
    There is no Flickr app for iPad, but I tried the iPhone app, and was able to upload photos. However, when I try to upload videos, I always immediately get the error message:
    "An error occurred. We could not upload your video. Please try again."
    Frustratingly, there is no indication of what the error is.
    Finally, I tried the Flickr website uploader page, but all the "Choose File" buttons were dimmed, so apparently there is no attempt to integrate ithis page with iPad,.
    I have had the same experience several times over the last few weeks in different locations, including private homes and hotels, none of them corporate offices with strong firewalls, and I am not running any firewall software other than standard iOS.
    I welcome any suggestions, workarounds, etc., that will enable me to upload videos from IPad to Flickr.

    KRDHarris-
    I am not familiar with Flickr, but found their support page at <Flickr Support>. You may get better help there than here.  I get the impression that the App is somewhat buggy.
    The iTunes preview page indicates the App is for iPad as well as the iPhone.  <Flickr App Preview>

  • Upgrading from iOS 4.3.3. without using iOS 6

    I have an iPad 2 which is still using iOS 4.3.3 as I didn't get round to updating it. Now I need to upgrade to iOS 5 or above to enable me to use a digital AV adapter for HDMI. Is there anyway I can upgrade to iOS 5 or above without updating to iOS 6?

    No. You will have to update to iOS 6 now. That's the way it works.
