IPhone downgrade from iOS8.1.1 to iOS6

Is there any way to do this?
My iphone is pretty much useless since update to iOS8.1.1 - I have another thread as yet unanswered, so my other solution is to put it back the way it was so that I can use it.
Thank you

Are you serious?! Please tell me there is something I can do with this to either get it to work as it should or go back in time to when it was working!
I was perfectly happy for near enough 18 months all until i clicked "upgrade" :(* very unhappy about this
Yes, he's serious. Apple has never supported backwards compatibility of iOS. You should be troubleshooting your install and your phone but as you have given us absolutely no indication of your issues, let alone even what phone you have then there is not much we can do for you here.

  • Downgrade from ios8.1.3

    I just purchased an iPhone 4 from a friend
    BIG MISTAKE!
    I've been running mac computers since 1996, and been happy with them until now.
    I purchased a mac mini with Yosemite (worst operating system ever!) I would like to go back to Mountain Lion or Mavericks but I don't know how or if it is even possible. I also upgraded my iPhone to 8.1.3 and would like to downgrade it too. Now I can't seem to get anything to work.
    Mostly ringtones and music, I bought Garage Band to make some Ringtones and it didn't work, I followed the tutorials.I downloaded Ringtone Maker and made a ringtone successfully but couldn't use it as a tone. Please help!
    I would prefer to change the operating systems on iPhone & mac mini unless you can help me fix these issues.

    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.

  • Iphone downgrade from 6.1.2  6.0.1

    Since I have update my Iphone 4 from 6.0.1 to 6.2, my battey life had reduced drasticaly.  After doing some searching it seems like it may be a bug in 6.2.  I want to downgrade back to 6.0.1  I have downloaded the 6.0.1 file, and have tried to restore it to my phone but I get an error that says it failed and an error number of 1394.  I have serched formus, and most of them link to this Apple KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275  I have tried all of the soloutions, and nothing works.  My phone has not been jailbroken, so that is not an issue. Is anyone else having issues with downgrading?

  • How can I downgrade from ios8 to ios7 on my iphone 4s?

    Hi all
    I'm using an iPhone 4s, model MD241C/A,
    Running ios 8.1.1.
    Phone is now buggy in nearly all respects: glacial pace opening and running multiple apps, most apps crash without warning, battery (brand new) lasts about 4 hours w/ normal use, battery on standby drains in about 8 hours.
    I have deleted all non-essential apps, reset factory settings, have 6GB free.
    This new ios reminds me of windows ...
    How can I reinstall ios 7 or lower?
    Thanks, everyone.

    Hi Lawrence,
    I have deleted all non-essential apps, reset factory settings, turned off background refresh in all apps, turned off display auto-brightness, deleted several gigs of photos just to give the OS some breathing room. This was to try to address the battery issues.
    I have not addressed the apps as they all used to function reasonably well w/ ios7.
    Thanks

  • Downgrade from IOS8 to IOS7

    Hi.
    our church iPad accidentally got upgraded from IOS7 to IOS8.  Unfortunately the only program we use on the iPad (for controlling our ssound system) is not supported under IOS8 and keeps continually trying to disconnect and reconnect.
    Is there any way that I can downgrade, I don't seem to be able to find anywhere on the Apple site, and I am reluctant to download the IPSW from other sites, and even if I did, would it restore OK?
    Thanks

    Yes. It will re-install iOS 8. But this usually helps fix issues caused by any OS file corruption or issue with them that may cause problems with the App.
    There is no Apple supported way of going back. That is not an alternative. 
    If you attempt to install a previous iOS version by whatever means you find, It will void your warranty, and Apple will not help you fix the device should something happen to it during the procedure.  As such any support from these forums would also be forfeited.
    If the App is not working correctly, after all has been attempted, then its something the App developer needs to rectify. You can contact iTunes support, as well as the Developer to sort through the issue if the other measures do not work.

  • Does the downgrade from ios8 to iOS 7.1.1 work with no issues

    You should be fine then. Do it before they stop signing. Lots of people have posted on here that their downgrade to 7.1.2 has been successful and their iPads are working like they should.

    Thats not good news.
    Why Apple make so bad thinks.
    Here are the thoughts: IOS Security
    System Software Authorization
    Apple regularly releases software updates to address emerging security concerns and also provide new features; these updates are typically provided for all supported devices simultaneously. Users receive iOS update notifications on the device and through iTunes, and updates are delivered wirelessly, encouraging rapid adoption
    of the latest security fixes.
    The startup process described above helps ensure that only Apple-signed code
    can be installed on a device. To prevent devices from being downgraded to older versions that lack the latest security updates, iOS uses a process called System Software Authorization. If downgrades were possible, an attacker who gains possession of a device could install an older version of iOS and exploit a vulnerability that’s been fixed in the newer version.

  • 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
