How to downgrade from iOS 8.2 to iOS 8.1.3

Downgrade

After the launch of Keynote, Apple released the iOS 8.2 update to add support to the Apple Watch, add supposed stability improvements and the already typical list of bug fixes. But we know that it never rains to the liking of all users, that's why from Actualidad iPhone We help you downgrade from iOS 8.2 to iOS 8.1.3 if for any reason you are not comfortable and want to go back to your previous version of iOS.

Beyond the events of Safari, it seems that the iOS 8.2 version, although it is not what we all expect (and it seems that it will continue to be so until iOS 9), it seems quite stable and lacks new errors beyond those that iOS has been dragging since the release of version 8. You still have time to go back to iOS 8.1.3 if you wish since Apple will continue to sign firmware 8.1.3 for a few days, therefore allowing to restore to this version of the device.

It is very important to remember that we do not know when Apple can stop signing this version, so we recommend that if you are willing to do so, you do so now. Although it is not as simple as updating the procedure, it hardly has any complications. We must first make a backup of the device, since we remind you that we will format the iPhone and lose all the information. From now on:

  1. We download the firmware 8.1.3 corresponding to our model in getios
  2. We deactivate «Find my iPhone» in Settings> iCloud.
  3. We put the device in DFU mode: We plug the iPhone into the computer with iTunes, then we turn it off and start it by pressing Home + Power, until the apple is removed, at that moment we release the power button leaving only the Home button until we see the iTunes icon on the screen that indicates which is already in DFU mode.
  4. In the page «device summary» we will press right click on "restore" at the same time with Alt (on OS X) or Shift (on Windows).
  5. We choose the downloaded firmware in the file explorer

We simply wait for the process to complete with a little patience as it may take a few minutes and we will have returned to iOS 8.1.3 satisfactorily.

    the step of putting in DFU Mode is not necessary ... I did it last night and it was not necessary: ​​just choosing the firmware by pressing "restore" with the shift pressed is enough.

    I think 8.2 or 8.1.3 does not matter, none of the 2 has jailbreak, I feel obsolete with my iphone 5s with ios 8.1.3 you did not do a more boring thing than an iphone without cydia

    It seems incredible to me that at this point there are people who update and then ask to downgrade because they have lost the jail or something, do not they learn from all the other updates? ..

    Well, I am going ... I have abandoned iOS 7 on my iPhone November 5, 2012, not without some qualms ... And the experience, after 8 hours of use (4 of them on standby and 4 intensive use) are positive. Battery at 84% at this time, stability equal or better, speed as much or more ... Only negative point, extra applications not removable. The rest, FOR NOW, looks very good

    Can I do this same but without restoring? That is, instead of doing Shift + Restore, I do Shift + Update?

    I have problems on the Iphone 5 out of nowhere the brightness of the screen decreased and it was not in automatic, also with the applications they were closed and I only used an open application. I had no problems with the Ios 8.1.3 version. hopefully and the jailbreak for that version comes out

      Hello «Papitu», I'm sorry but no

    It is not convenient to do the downgrade, I did it, and by the way you cannot recover your backup copy from 8.2 to 8.1.3, so you will have to start from 0 with your phone ... then those who already have ios 8.2 stay with that and wait for the jailbreak, will be out soon ...

    The downgrade from 8.2 to 8.1.3 can be of help to get rid of the lock by Icloud since there is a bug in 8.1.3 that allows to pass that screen, which in 8.2 no longer exists
