You can no longer downgrade to iOS 5 now that iOS 6 is out of beta, do not attempt the process because it will not work.

All set of the downgrade back to ios5, just one concern, i never activated my ICloud even when I had IOS5. It was simply not on. So… Can I still downgrade to IOS5 with success? Oh! On an IPad.

Why, Apple? WHY?! I had an android before my iPhone 4, and i liked it. But why my android died i thought: “Everyone says Apple is a good company, why dont i buy an iphone?” When i did, i liked it as much as my android. But then IT appeared, a couple months later. Me, not thinking and doing NO research on iOS 6, pressed the button…

That was the scariest story i’ve ever wrote, and worst of all, IT’S TRUE!!! First off, it took an HOUR just to update. And all for nothing good! Then, Y U NO THERE ANYMORE YOUTUBE?! I downloaded the app, and it disgusts me. It’s so slow and… Ugh! I don’t even want to go on! And call quality, hiddeous! Doesn’t matter where i am, or the settings i put it at, i cant hear. And im not deaf! Lastly… NEWSSTAND, Y U STILL NO GO INTO FOLDER?!

I will try this, and if it does’t work, i swear something bad will happen to Apple! (Out of karma, im a pacifist, there buissness will probably crash soon, anyway.)

This didn’t work for me. It only gave the option to restore with the same damn iOs 6.
I’m screwed.

Yep it’s true, you can’t downgrade anymore, apple stopped signing ios 5.1.1, you guys are stuck on ios 6 for now.

Will this work to downgrade 6.0 public release to 5.1.1. I am experiencing poor signal reliability and have to reboot often. I so would like to restore my 4s and iPad2 until 6.01.

I love iOS6 as a concept, with the exception to lack of option to change default browser, email and maps apps, just wish they kept it in beta longer for developers to release fixes because I am finding a bug a day with my apps. Most have been tolerable or fixed quick, until I tried to play FIFA12 on my iPad using my 4s as the controller using the Gamepad app. Devastated!

If this is possible to achieve by the technically minded, after successfully reflashing, will it be possible to setup devices from their iOS6 iCloud backups?

How to downgrade by CONTROL clicking? If i go to settings and select check for updates, it only says ios 6 is up to date. It doesnt show iod 5.1.1.
