How to restore iphone without updating software

how do i get my iphone 3 to restore without updating to ios 4.1.2 i have tried unchecking "check for software updates automatically" but it still won't just restore what else should i try?

You can't.  Part of the restore process involves updating the iOS.
The only reason why you wouldn't want to update your iOS is because your phone is jailbroken.  Jailbroken phones cannot be discussed on this forum.

    how to restore iphon-without backup, after it synchronization from ipod

    Thanks Eric,
    After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
    There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
    DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
    I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
    Thanks for helping me out.
    Cheers, Rob

    You need to put the iPad into recovery mode, if you succesfully do that then your computer's iTunes won't prompt you to enter the passcode on the iPad : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

  • How to restore iphone without installing ios 8

    hi,
    my sister wasnt using her iphone for a month (i dont know why), yesterday she charged it and guess what? it has been locked for 44 years (it says try after 23.480.302 minutes later), i tried to restore the iphone but it will install ios 8, i dont want to install it because iphone 4s has 8gb storage and available space is 5.98gb but ios 8 needs 5.5 gb to be installed that is why i dont want to install ios 8.
    how can i restore iphone 4s to ios 7.1.2 ?
    help me please.
    thanks in advance.

    I'm actually having the exact same problem. I switched from 4s to 6, and I bought all new ringtones. Then the update happened, and I had to use the link to restore my ringtones. Now, I lost my favorite ringtone for some reason, and I can't restore it. It's in my library, but not on my phone. And I have to buy it again, apparently.I just don't want to buy it again, only to lose it again, you know?

  • HELP!  Who knows how to restore iPhone without losing information?

    I don't want to reset my phone back to the factory settings. Is there anyone who has info on how to do this?

    What exactly are you trying to do or accomplish? When you restore, it will erase everything. There is no getting around that. If you back the unit up first in iTunes, you can do a restore, and then select your backup when prompt, and it should restore all your apps and settings back to normal.

  • HT1414 how to restore iPhone 4 without downloading iOS update

    How to restore iPhone 4 without downloading iOS 7.6 update?

    If Find My Phone is turned on, login to iCloud.com, using your computer, locate the phone, then erase it. This will remove the passcode without having to restore the phone.
    If you can't do that, you'll have to force the phone into recovery mode, & restore it.

    how can i reset my iphone without update to ios 7.0.6

    You can wipe the device without updating:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    I would be remiss not to mention that iOS 7.0.6 patches a security flaw.
    If you choose not to update, your device will be at risk.
