Tutorial: Downgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 5.1.1

Lately you do not stop asking us how remove iOS 6 and go back to iOS 5.1.1, many for him jailbreak, others for Maps or bugs. Here we bring you a tutorial to do it, I recommend you put it in full screen and in HD.

You can only downgrade in iPhone 4 and 3GS, and for those devices this tutorial is intended, the iPhone 4S has no hardware exploit, and therefore there is no downgrade for it and there will be no short-term.

What do you need?TinyUmbrella

Redsn0w

iOS 5.1.1 from your device

Have the SHSH from iOS 5.1.1 saved in Cydia or on your computer (if you don't have SHSH, it can't be done).

    Is it useful to reinstall from iOS v5.1.1 to iOS v5.1.1? Thank you!

    1.    gnzl said

      Yes, (but not in 4S)

      1.    TioVinagar said

        Thank you! (silly question because you say it clearly at the beginning of the video, graxxx)

    Okay, this was written by me, I thought I was going to let me change the name before sending. Nothing happens, it's as simple as that without SSH or redsnow or ... nothing at all.
    If you need a video, I'll do it and upload it to YouTube and notice here 😉

    1.    gnzl said

      No, it cannot be done without anything, otherwise we would not do a tutorial.

      An iPod is not an iPhone, it does not have an antenna, and therefore it does not have a baseband, which, as you may know, iOS has a baseband check ...

      Don't confuse readers please

      1.    Adrian aragon said

        Sorry but I have a friend who has upgraded to iOS 6 and her WiFi was not working like thousands of iOS 6 users on iPhone 4S.
        My previous comment has been deleted, or you have possibly deleted it for doing "advertising, spam or whatever you want to call it" from a web page. Well, I will not put it again so if you want me to explain it to you as I did on my iPod, and as I told my friend to do it on her iPhone 4s ... which is the same method, but I repeat, you lose the apps ... you leave it as if it were from the factory, everything, EVERYTHING new ... If you want to know how to mention me on twitter and I'll try to make a video explaining how it's done ...
        It is not based on software exploits or anything like that. Let it be clear that this is not the case ...

        1.    gnzl said

          I insist, it cannot be done.
          I'm not going to ask you how you do it, because it just can't be done.

        Greetings Gnzl, I have a 3gs in ios 4.1, with baseband 5.14 I need to install the ipad baseband and for some reason it does not let me so I want to try to upload it to 5.1.1 but I do not know if apple is still signing so that it uses umbrella and only me I register the one from 5.1.1 but only by checking the Request SHSH from Cydia option, my question is if that registry will work for me to install 5.1.1 with the most recent iTunes or if I create a custom with that registry, will the last iTunes let me install it? Thanks in advance.

    2.    gnzl said

      If you do an iPhone 4S downgrade, upload it to YouTube, you will become famous, you will be the only one on the planet who has achieved it.

  3.   djdared said

    GNZL, there is no way to reinstall 5.1.1 on an iPad 2 Wifi right? It is being a bit silly and I would like to restore it but I do not want to put 6.0. I have the shsh from 5.1.1. Thanks a lot

    1.    gnzl said

      Not yet, but if you stick to 5.1.1 it may be reinstalled soon.

    I have a 4s 5.0.1 with Gevey. My son unintentionally updated me to 6. I had no choice but to follow the steps and pray. And what do you think happened? It works perfectly. My provider is Claro. Can you tell me if this is normal?
    Very good page.

    What if I don't have a jailbreak? I want to go back to my ios 5.1. The mobile hangs up, the apps are closed. Come on, a mess

    1.    gnzl said

      same process, you don't need jailbreak, but you still need to have saved your SHSH

  7.   Jhonny0731 said

    I have tried a couple of times but I get error 3194 I have done everything step by step help! Thank you

    1.    gnzl said

      At the end of the video I explain what to do if you get that kind of error. Use recovery fix

        I can't install ios 5.1.1, it tells me that my device is not compatible with the requested version.

        please help me.

      2.    Juancho69- said

        I tried it 2 times with the recovery fix and nothing… it follows the same error!

  8.   Juan Aranguren said

    Friend, thanks for the tutorial, a question, for the Recovery Fix is ​​it mandatory to be connected to the Internet?

    1.    gnzl said

      For the whole process it is

      Thank you.

    Is it worth downgrading? I'm thinking about it..

  11.   Adrian aragon said

    Sorry for the quality and stuff… I hope it helps you and Gnzl, that's how I was saying…! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L-YYfjkiaQ&feature=youtu.be

    1.    gnzl said

      I appreciate the video Adrian. that is not an iPhone 4S, it is an iPod Touch 4G, exploitable with limera1n (not like the 4S) and it has no baseband (so the baseband check is avoided), also it does not show if your hosts file points to Apple or cydia, in that case your process and mine would not differ at all.

      1.    Adrian aragon said

        Sorry but ... I repeat, I have a friend who sent her to do this process and it is working with the iPhone 4s waiting for an iOS 6 update to come out, after downgrading.
        What else, my hosts file does not point anywhere, it is without touching it, well no, I lie… the crack for After Effects I think it modifies it, but come on, you can check it yourself without modifying the hosts file.
        Your process and mine do differ, exactly in the complexity of each one.
        Anyway, it is a method that someone could check if they have a problem with iOS 6. 
        Also add that I found this method on the internet, not exactly explained like this, if not more complex but it worked for me, and possibly it will work for everyone. I do not know.
        Since I'm Gnzl, do you know anything about the jailbreak for iOS 6? I want to update it but I use the iPod touch as an «iPhone», and I need the jailbreak to install the apps so I can send and receive calls, messages ... and have an internet connection. Thanks in advance.

        1.    gnzl said

          A long time ago that method worked to download the betas, because apple signed iOS 5.1.1, it no longer signs it, and that method does not work, that everyone do what they want, but I advise our readers not to try it because they will stay with a beautiful brick that will have to be restored.
          There is jailbreak but it is tethered (for iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G
          I don't think the apps that turn your iPod into iPhone will work yet, so I recommend you wait.

            Thanks again. I don't know if apple signs it or not, but in reality it has helped me to avoid having to walk around with iPod and mvl in my pocket again. Anyway, I'm sure that as soon as a hacker removes the untethered you will publish it here (and on facebook, which is how I follow you) so I'll be attentive.

            Hello, I am trying to follow the steps and nothing at all ... Error 11 and sometimes 21. I have the SHSH of all IOS, from 4.3.3 to 5.1.1. Tried it on PC and Mac with the same error. Any solution??

  12.   carlos_trejo said

    In spite of having the SHSH of iOS 5.1.1 saved, I could not restore, I tried to change the apple hosts from tinyumbrella, manually and it simply did not get it, it marked error 11 ...
    In the end I had to create a custom iOS 5.1.1 firm adding my SHSH and cydia .. all this with sn0wbreeze, only then could I reinstall iOS 5.1.1

    1.    Raul said

      Did you do it in a 4S?

  15.   Adrian Polledo Robles said

    One question, can you do this step to upgrade from an old version (4.3.3) to 5.1.1? or does itunes just let me update to 5.1.1 by holding shift on restore?

    Thank you

    Hello, query could you help me find out how to get the shsh of 5.1.1 from my iphone 4 it happens that I am new to this and the iphone came with ios 6 but I want to downgrade it, the problem is that I do not have the shsh or I do not know how get them if you can give me a hand thank you very much

    1.    Fran said

      You can't get the SHSH if you haven't saved it when the iphone had 5.1 installed. I see you already came with 6.0. You will have to wait for a jailbreak for 6.0

  18.   janier said

    I have an iPhone 4s with 5.1 and I want to update it to 5.1.1 to jailbreak, I connect it to iTunes and I give it shift + restore with the firmware that I download and it always puts error 11 or something else, what do I do?

    1.    Nordés Television Orchestra said

      If you have saved us the SHSH before, I think that you will not be able to install other software that is not the last one signed by apple, that is, 6.0

  19.   Nordés Television Orchestra said

    Hello. I have followed all the steps effectively, at the end of the restoration my iphone 4 has been in restoration mode. I try to follow the steps in the video by doing Recovery Fix and it is impossible since it is necessary for the iPhone to be turned off but every time I connect it to the computer it turns on, the famous drawing that asks you to connect it to iTunes remains on the screen. I try to turn it off to do Recovery Fix and it comes back on constantly. Any solution?? Thanks.

    1.    gnzl said

      Put it in DFU after connecting.

    Sorry but what command do you say at the moment i tunes uppercase sim? by fa. I'm clumsy but I've been left blank, please help.

  22.   Blacon23 said

    It tells me that the firmw is not compatible with my device ,,, save the shsh and I did everything as is, in that part I always get stuck ...

    just when one puts the iphone 4 in DFU mode and then opens itunes and chooses the firmw k I just created with my shsh, I get that.

    I hope help, thanks in advance!

  23.   jose said

    You are a gonzalo crack, what would my iPhone be without you.

  24.   jose said

    I with redsnow I can not install the custom firmware itunes keeps thinking forever

  25.   Sofi diaz said

    I followed all the steps and everything was fine, it gave me an error at the end of the restoration and when I gave it Recovery Fix I got 'Missing keys.plist data for this built', what do I do? and the iphone does not turn on at all. Help me urge me. Thanks in advance.

  26.   Manuel Obando said

     It doesn't work for me, it gives me an error every time I try, I need help, thank you

  27.   RaisR said

    Like Carlos_Trejo, at the end and after almost 3 hours, I had to create custom signature with snowbreeze adding the SHSH manually and putting the terminal in DFU through iReb (included in snowbreeze) ... a beastly mess but, finally, ios 5.1.1 again

  28.   Dusk said

    Isn't it easier to use RedSn0w's new native function to restore without iTunes?

  29.   Guest said

    I tell you that I managed to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 to an Ipad 2, I did this with version 9.15b2 of redsn0w, to begin with I had to return my ipad to ios 4.3.3 which Apple is still signing, after This can be done to ios 5.1.1, for this you need the shsh of both versions, as well as tinyumbrella to take the device out of recovery mode when redsn0w asks to put it in DFU manually. 

    1.    Raul said

      Could you put the steps please, thank you !!

      1.    Guest said

        Assuming that you already have the redsn0w and tinyumbrella programs, as well as the ipsw of iOS 4.3.3 and 5.1.1 with their respective shsh, the steps would be the following:
        1.You connect your device with ios 6 normally with the USB cable.
        2 you execute redsn0w you go to Extras-> Even more-> Restore-> IPSW and select the one that corresponds to version 4.3.3 then you will have to select the shsh either local (that you have saved on your computer) or Remote (the that are in Cydia), several windows will appear and you all click Yes.
        3 the device will go into recovery mode and redsn0w will ask you to manually put it in DFU mode, do nothing in redsn0w, run tinyumbrella and take the device out of recovery mode by clicking on Exit Recovery, as soon as the device is ready in normal mode , you put it in DFU by pressing the Power and Home buttons at the same time, the screen will go black, at this moment you release the power button and leave only the Home button until redsn0w recognizes it as DFU mode, when you have it ready you return to redsn0w and you give it to accept, with this it will continue executing the downgrade process to 4.3.3, you wait for it to finish.
        4 having the device in 4.3.3 you execute steps 1 and 2 again, only now you select ipsw 5.1.1 and it will immediately ask you to also select ipsw 4.3.3 then follow step 3 again

        I hope I was clear.

        Luck.

    ok i downloaded the iOs 5.1.1 again, the firmware went back to do all the steps of the tutorial and nothing happened the same thing throws me the error (3194) I don't know what to do I want my iPhopne with iOS 5.1.1 back  

  36.   sroberto said

    Let's see, those who can't, neither can I, and like Carlos, I pulled Snowbreeze. It's as simple as downloading it, choosing the iphone 4 5.1.1 firm, choosing the device's SHSH, creating a custom firmware for you, and then just following the steps of the program. When finished you start iTunes, shift + restore, and you put the signature that the program has created. And that's it! Enjoy it.

    Hello, my iphone 4 has broken and they have changed it for a new one and it comes to me with the ios 6, when it comes to recovering the shsh, none appears, this is because it is a different serial number than the one that I had or I have lost them, I would open a way to overcome them, or I will not be able to return to ios 5.1.1
