Downgrade Update using iTunes

iTunes has many features, one of them is that you can use it to restore or update your device.

Restore: It completely wipes the data and your device turn on as new.
Update: It updates your device to the version chosen by you.

It can be used to both downgrade or update your device. But keep in mind, it only works for the signed versions!

So lets get started with the process:
  • If you dont have iTunes then download it from the Windows Software page.
  • After that, install it on your Windows Laptop/PC. (It is already installed in Mac/Macbooks)
  • Download the IPSW file from ipsw.me .
  • After that connect your device to the computer and open iTunes.
  • Click on the iPhone icon in iTunes.
  • Now select the IPSW file you downloaded.
  • On Mac: Press and Hold OPTION key and click on Update.
  • On Windows: Press and Hold OPTION key and click on Update.
  • Then select the IPSW file you downloaded by navigating to the downloads folder.
  • Now leave your device connected and wait for your device to turn on.
  • IMPORTANT: you need to be connected to the internet.
