How to downgrade from iOS 8.0.1 to iOS 8.0 after Apple's failed update

How to install iOS 8

iOS 8.0.1 has been available for a very short time due to a few more serious errors than I was trying to fix. In case you have updated your iOS device, it is very likely that now your iPhone is not able to capture the signal from your operator or if you have an iPhone 5s or one of the iPhone 6s, the Touch ID sensor may not work for you either.

Surely the person in charge of pressing the button to produce a firmware with errors right now is shaking of course of work, these types of errors have no excuse but fortunately, they have a solution for us. If you have upgraded to iOS 8.0.1, there is a way to go back to iOS 8.0 and here we explain how to do it.

  1. First of all is download iOS version 8.0 that corresponds to your device, here you can find the compilation of links for direct download firmware.
  2. While the firmware is downloading, we can keep moving forward and the next thing to do is deactivate the "Find my iPhone" function. To do this, we go to the Settings menu> iCloud> Find my iPhone. Next, they will ask us for the password of the Apple ID associated with the terminal.
  3. When we have downloaded the operating system, we connect the iPhone or iPad to a computer with iTunes installed.
  4. Now we go to the section in which the tab of the device that we have just connected appears and we press the update or restore button while holding down the Shift key if we use Windows or Alt in the case of using OS X.
  5. Now a new window will open that will leave us select the route which contains the final version of iOS 8 that we have downloaded. We just have to select it and let the process finish.

Following this tutorial to the letter, you can use your device normally again in a matter of minutes. It is a tedious but necessary process if you have updated to iOS 8.0.1.

Apple is now working around the clock to release iOS 8.0.2 to fix iOS 8.0 and iOS 8.0.1 bugs. Definitely, a very serious slip the one they have committed today.

    The downside of this is that if you have not backed up iOS 8.0 before uploading to iOS 8.0.1, you will not be able to upload the copy, since the iOS 8.01 backup is not valid for a previous version. I think you should point that out in the article.

    I had downloaded the update but it wouldn't let me install it because it had already been removed ... what should I do? It only gives me the option to install it and does not let me
