It is no secret that both the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S, both with a similar processor (AX5 and A5 respectively) and 512mb of RAM, They have aged a lot with the arrival of iOS 7. The thing, far from improving, it's still gotten worse with the arrival of iOS 8. It is true that iOS 9 promises to solve the latest performance problems of these devices, but it is unlikely that they will move with the excellence that they did with iOS 6.
If you want to go back and you couldn't, we bring you great news. A developer has managed to take advantage of an Apple failure to return the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 to a version in which they worked perfectly and that, in addition, it is possible to jailbreak it. Can be reverted to iOS 6.1.3 without the need to have the SHSH saved. Amazing, right?
The developer has achieved it tihmstar (with the help of winocm and iH8sn0w) by means of something that he has named odysseusOTA, a command line tool that It takes advantage of the fact that Apple still signs the OTA for 6.1.3 firmwares for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. In the following video you have a step-by-step explanation (in English). At the moment it only works with Mac, but it will make tools for Windows and Linux.
The first thing you will have to do is download the firmware of your device from the web www.getios.com, for example, we download odysseusOTA and the README file (you have the links in the video description) where the command line is. Then you have to follow the steps in the video. I recommend activating the subtitles for those who do not understand English well.
To be able to use oddyseusOTA you must have only and exclusively a device with A5 that has had iOS 5.0.1 or iOS 5.1.1 installed. The only supported devices are the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Although the iPad mini is practically like the iPad 2, it cannot carry out the process because it already arrived with iOS 6
It is said that Apple cannot cover this failure because otherwise there would be some devices that could not update via OTA, so this method could work indefinitely.
Clearly Actualidad iPhone is not responsible for any problems that may appear during the downgrade process. It is you who decide if it is important to take the risk to return to a more fluid version than the one you are using.

Can it be done with Windows?
Not yet
Great!!! Now wait for Windows support to come out since I don't have a Mac 🙁
I will wait
The bad thing is that this version does not accept watsapp, and thousands more applications because it is very old

Does anyone know how to do it with an iPhone 4?
And the iPad mini 1? This one also has an A5 chip and 512 ram, can it be?
As I have been able to find out, you need to have installed iOS 5.0.1 or iOS 5.1.1. The original iPad mini came out with iOS 6. It can't do it.
On iPad 3 you can
In iPhone 5 you can also, I have done it and it is very very fluid, whatsap works because the iOS you need is iOS 6 or later, greetings!
iOS 6 for me is the most stable and best of all ...
the rest are rubbish and with more and more problems and more consumption….
Every day the iOS are getting worse, more recharged than ever!
this is cool, it was about time

The option is good, but shortly after seeing iOS 9 improve the ipad 2, which I think it will be like that, for now I stay in IOS 7 and be able to test as soon as that version comes out knowing that I can go back, and above during that time get a definitive and easy to use tool for that downgrade
The interesting thing would be to be able to return to iOS 7, which is the system with the best stability-fluidity-performance ratio to date. Let's hope that iOS 9 improves the performance on the iPhone 4S because mine is still working like a charm after 3 and a half years and I am not going to retire it for good ...
It works for iPhone 4 ??

Hello hudiny. I will look at it and we will publish it. I trust your word 😉
It came out at the same time as the mac but until I could not do it I did not warn by ai it was fake but yesterday I did it without problems since I updated the version to 0.2, it is rare that no Spanish website knew about it, at least I did not I've seen it anywhere.
Well, nothing to enjoy 6.1.3
Has anyone managed to use FaceTime with iOS 6.1.3 on iPad?
Alfredo have you done it on an iPad 3?
