[iPhone 4s] Downgrade from iOS 8.1 to iOS 6

Dear all,
Days ago I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1, but it's really stuck.
I want to downgrade the OS to iOS 6, 6.1.3, 6.1.4, any version.
Does any guy know how to carry it out? Thank you veeeeeeeeryyyyyyy much.

Thank you Pete.
I read some articles about the DEV version, they said it didn't change much, just a bit smoother.
I've downloaded the .ipsw file, but cannot install it to my phone.
Anyway, thank you again.

How to downgrade from iOS 8.1 to 7.1.2 for iPhone 5 ?

Dear Experts
How to downgrade from iOS 8.1 to 7.1.2 for iPhone 5 ?
The situation is that in Hong Kong, I bought the iPhone 5 for my mainland China friend.
The seller said that the iPhone 5 was brand new and was come from USA.
I found that iPhone 5 was in iOS 8.1. I wonder that why brand new iPhone 5 would be installed in iOS8.1?
My friend finds that the response of iPhone 5 is so late.
He prefers to downgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
Please reply.
Thank you
Regards
Lawrence

You can't downgrade from iOS 8.0.2 to iOS 7.0.4 any more, because Apple has closed the access to verify iOS 7.0.4.

How to downgrade from ios 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 on iphone 4s???

how to downgrade from ios 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 on iphone 4s??? i feel ios 5.1.1 is more comfortable so i wanna downgrade... but i couldnt... can anyone tell me how to do it??

You don't. There is no supported way to downgrade iOS. Attempting to do so will void any warranty, forfeit all rights to support, and could very well brick the phone.

HT201210 How do I downgrade from ios 7 to ios 6 on my iPhone 4?

How do I downgrade from ios 7 to ios 6 on my iPhone 4?
I've tried downloading the proper firmware, but after extracting, it gives me the 3194 error.

I don't think it's just because of the look, I PHONE 4 DOESN"T WORK WELL WITH IOS7!!!
GAH!!!
It's so slow, I can't even type a whole word without having to wait ..... and then the letters show up, then I type a few more...... and I wait........ and the letters show up.
It does that when i'm typing anything!!!!
I should have read reviews before I upgraded too.
Is there really nothign we can do?

There is no reason to be running beta software, I doubt it will even still run as iOS 6 has been officially released. Or were you simply trying to be funny?
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

how to downgrade from ios 6 to iOS 5 on my iphone 4s

Not true, I went back to IOS3 from IOS4 on my 3G phone. However, Apple did not provide the solution I found it on line.
I don't think I will be upgrading my phone or ipad to IOS6 yet from the comments I am reading so far.

I am using Iphone 5 ,How can i downgrade from IOS 7.0 to IOS 6 ?

I am using Iphone 5 ,How can i downgrade from iOS 7.0 to iOS 6 ?

Go to the Apple store and buy a new phone, the iPhone 5 (not the 5S) and you will probably get a phone with the IOS 6 interface.
But be aware that many apps will no longer be offering updates for the older IOS. You either have to move forward and stay in the past.
IOS 7 is just a change in the look, the functionality is still there. OSes have to move on, change. Otherwise the vendor gets accused of staying in the past. I find no problem in the update except for the changes in the Calendar. I spent $5.00 and got another calendar that does more and works better. I also got a better Notes program for a few bucks. For less than the cost of a dinner meal I was able to improve my phone experience. Rather than complain, I adapted. Problem solved.

Is there a way to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 without any unauthorised modifications (e.g. jailbreaking)?

I found this piece of information: http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/18/downgrade-ios-6-beta-to-ios-5/ Yes, it's about downgrading from iOS 6 beta, not iOS 6, but the way to downgrade to a previous version of iOS is basically the same.
I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1 and an iPod touch 4 running iOS 5.1.1 as well. None of them is 'jailbroken'. I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS 6 for exploring it a bit more and reverted back to iOS 5.1.1. How? I did it the way stated by the website I mentioned above: just by Option-Clicking the 'Restore' button on iTunes and select the iOS 5.1.1 software. No need to enter recovery mode or DFU mode whatsoever.
In fact, Apple doesn't allow users to downgrade to a previous version of iOS: 'Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.' (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694) The reason why I could downgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 5.1.1 may be, as the above website said, 'Typically you can’t downgrade iOS versions so easily, but because Apple is still signing iOS 5.1.1 this allows downgrading to commence with minimal effort.'
I was wondering whether I could revert all the way from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 (the version that was shipped along with the launch of the iPod touch 4 in September 2010). (for experimental purposes)
I downloaded the iOS 4.1 (a list of iOS software: http://osxdaily.com/2010/10/30/download-ipod-touch-firmware-ipsw/) and tried Option-Clicking when restoring this iOS 4.1 — no luck. iTunes said 'This device is not eligible for the requested build'. And I did a bit of research and found that there are ways to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1, but it seems you have to jailbreak the device, which is complicated and I don't want to do.
So, is there a way to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 without any unauthorised modifications (e.g. jailbreaking)? Thanks in advance.

No, downgrading from any version of iOS to an earlier version is not supported.

Can you downgrade from iOS 8.2 to 8.1.3?

Is it possible to downgrade from iOS 8.2 to 8.1.3 on iPhone 6? If so, how? After updating both my iPhone and iPad with iOS 8.2, I experienced several issues. The Bluetooth on my phobe is no longer workIng properly and will not sync with my car or any other Bluetooth device. The battery life for both devices has been reduced significantly. Also the update has caused glitches in several of my apps as welL. I don't plan on getting an Apple watch, so I don't need 8.2.

No, downgrading iOS levels is not supported.

Is there anyway to delete or downgrade from iOS 8?

I Don't like the new update, is there anyway to get the iOS 7 back?

Apple usually lets you downgrade from the latest iOS version to a easier one in a few days after the latest iOS comes out. I'm not sure whether the deadline has passed. But I think maybe you can have a try.
1. Backup your iPhone 5 via iTunes and iCloud.
2. Install the latest iTunes and connect your iPhone 5 to computer via a USB cable.
3. After detected, click your iPhone 5 in the left sidebar to show the control panel on the right.
4. Under the Summary tab, click Restore iPhone... . Confirm it in the pop-up dialog.
5. Click Restore an Update to downgrade from iOS 8 to iOS 7.
If you really want to downgrade, you need to have a hurry.

Downgrading is Not supported by Apple...

Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24?Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6 when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the backup?

There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
It will always restore to the latest available software.

How to downgrade from ios 8.0.2

how come there is no way to downgrade from ios 8.0.2 to ios 7 !!! i don't think its legal from apple to close the way back
but let me ask may be there is something i don't know
is there any way back to ios 7.1.2 ????
thanks
kh

There is no way to downgrade. Apple probably doesn't allow it because then people would downgrade a lot. People rarely like the new update when they download it. Also, Apple doesn't support past iOS things…So if someone is on iOS 3, Apple wouldn't support fixing problems or whatever (if I remember right).
So, sadly there is no way to downgrade. Sorry!
