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.

  • 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!

    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.

    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.

    i want to update ios 6.0.1 to 5.0.1 because i didnt like it

    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, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

    You cannot. Downgrading is not supported by Apple.

    Hi all,
    I want to know how to downgrade rpd from obiee 11.1.1.5 to obiee 10.1.3.4.
    please share the valuable links.
    Thanks.

    First, you will have to completely uninstall 11g, see steps below:
    http://obiee911.blogspot.com/2013/01/uninstalling-obiee-11g-instance-on.html
    This should be followed by installing 10g, and then applying 10g patches to reach 10.1.3.4.1 version. I hope you have all the right 10g installation files available. Im not sure if you can download them from Oracle anymore, please check before proceeding.

    Settings -> Messages -> Send and Receive -> uncheck your email which is likely the Apple ID with which you are signed into your other iDevices
    This will stop your iMessages to your devices
    However if you are referring to SMS texts alone - are they forwarded by any chance?

  • How to stop iphone from autoplay when plug into car audio system usb?

    how to stop iphone from autoplaying when connected to your car audio USB ?

    You need to remove the association that Windows has with that particular file type. To do that, you need to open Windows Explorer. From there, click on Tools, then Folder options. Click on the tab that is named file types. You then need to find the extension for the photos that appear in the iPhone, then click that registered file type. Once you do that, there is a section to select the program to open that file type with. You can click on the change button, and that will allow you to change the program that it opens with, or restore the default. There is also a box that can be checked to always use the selected program. If you unselect it, it will prompt you next time on what program to use.
    Hope this helps.
