David, apple made downgrading firmware impossible after iOS 5. However, do a search for redsn0w, the newest version allows you to downgrade, PROVIDED you have the .shsh blobs. If you don’t have them, you’re screwed man.

Well Idon’t know how. But this is what happen for my time loss
I left my iPhone in states. Got home bought
new one. Did not back up all my contacts , pictures ect.
Loss everything. Had this one 4 months.
Leaving country again thought I should
back up new data. Plug my iPhone in mac
pro to download pictures.
After it told me this phone is already
registered under my old and still same cell
number. So I clicked just register under
the number already registered under.
Still pluged into mac, it then asked for my
password to use my wyfy. I entered it.
Then unplugged to use. I was freak out.
My phone was back to my old wallpaper
picture. It link my phone back to ios 5.1
put in all the old stuff ( what little I had)
from my loss phone. Lost all my notes.
All text conversations ect. But it kept
all my iBooks. Deleted all music I bought.
Now that I have cooled down. I am glad
to have ios 5 back. My google maps ect.
So many people unable to downgrade.
And I didn’t even try and it did it.

I have an iphone 4 with ios 6.0. Trying to go back to ios 5.

When I download from the link above (iPhone 4 GSM) the download says “iphone3,1-5.1.1″. If this is for iphone4 why does it say iphone3?
Just to see I downloaded from the iphone4s link and it says “iphone4,1 etc”.
I’m trying to do this before I leave the country in two days.
Any help??

iOS6.0 was released on 19 September 2012, viewing above comments it seems Apple killed the restore of iOS 5.11 soon afterwards (why not give 3 – 6 months grace period – as we all know iOS 6 has a few bugs). Everyone enjoyed 5.11 (not the previous 5.0 or 5.1), now we are forced to 6.0. This is crazy.

Can’t restore to custom IPSW 5.11, get error 3194 (can’t connect to apple store), yet if I select restore & update to iOS 6 – no error. iOS 6.0 – 887.6MB. Can we still restore to iOS 5.11 .ipsw or has Apple remove the option. (this really sucks – what if I am happy with 5.11 now & would only like to update to 6.1 or 6.2 – now I am forced to go 6.0 whether I like it or not).

I had downloaded the ios upgrade file for 5.1.1 some weeks back but had not updated. My iphone is still on 4.3.3
But now when I try to locate that file on my computer, i cannot find it.
Is it the case that after the release of 6.0, iTunes automatically deletes the old update file?
Please help!

It appears that 5.1.1 is no longer signed and eligible for downgrade. I had used these files last week to downgrade my iPod Touch and iPads, but yesterday and today my iPhone 4S is now saying “not eligible” when attempting to downgrade. I should have done them all last week when I had the chance! … Bummer!

i deleted everything lost all my log ins lost all my pictures and attempted restore several times and so apple yet again has stolen a day of my life just to get my phone to funtion the way it should and now im stuck with there fd up maps and cant navigate the city like i use too i use the bus routes religiously and watch u tube movies almost every night.

welll not anymore

not with this fu*ked up ios6

dont live my nightmare… dont update

i dont think u can go back and theres not a single feature worth updating for instead you’ll lose google maps and utube.

Stupid stupid stupid and yes wth is it that my ipod finds wifi but now my iphone takes hours to find the same signal. a fd up way to get you ti use more data services is my guess.

definitly ready to dump iphone for samsung galaxy. apple you FD UP!>_<

im on hour 18 today waiting for my iphone to update back to the crappy ios cause it wont let me restore to 5.1.1 typing this while watching the status bar. I will have to load all the aps all over and try and find a funtional app that works like google maps.
