Downgrade iOS 5.1 to iOS 5


I'm a developer, and I have a little problem with iOS 5.1 upgrade.

So now, I want do "downgrade" iOS 5.1. I already downloaded the iOS 5 (9A334), and try to downgrade via Xcode, dragging the file to Xcode and restoring the iPad, but it's not working.

Any idea?


Solution

  • Downgrades are normally not supported by Apple.

    You can try to put your iPhone into recovery mode to restore to the older firmware.

    Here are the instructions from Apple:

    As soon as your iTunes recognizes the iPhone to be in recovery mode, hold the ALT-Key and click on the restore button. It will prompt you to select the firmware you want to restore.
