NOTE. OUTDATED TUTORIAL -> USE THIS LINK
Many of you already have iOS 5 installed on your iPhones, if you have not tried it yet and want to do it here you have the explanation of how to do it.
The reasons for revert to iOS 4.3.3 It may be that some application that you use every day does not work for you or that you miss the untethered jailbreak.
After the jump we tell you how to return to iOS 4.3.3
It is very important not to have the Hosts file modified so that there is no error. If you have TinyUmbrella installed, go to the advanced options and make sure that the box to modify the Host is deselected.
TUTORIAL:
The first thing is to uninstall iTunes 10.5 and install iTunes 10.3 again.
- You can download it here
When opening iTunes, an error will appear stating that iTunes Library was created with an earlier version.
You have to go to the Route where you have the iTunes music (generally My Documents in Windows), there is a file called iTunes Library. We delete it (our library will be deleted).
We download the iOs 4.3.3
iPhone 4
iPhone 4Verizon (iOS 4.2.8)
iPhone 3GS
iPad 2 Wi-Fi
ipad 2gsm
iPad 2CDMA
iPad
iPod touch 3G
iPod touch 4G
We enter DFU mode:
Press the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds
We release power but hold Home for another 10-15 seconds
In iTunes, a window will appear saying that an iPhone has been detected in recovery mode.
In iTunes we press SHIFT + Restore (Alt + Restore on Mac) and select the firmware 4.3.3 of our device.
We hope that the process is completed and our device will be restored to iOS 4.3.3
NOTES
* If you want to load your backup, use a previous copy than the ones you made with iOS 5, they will appear in a drop-down menu when it says "Set up as new iPhone or Set up as iPhone of" your name "
* It is not necessary to have the SHSH from 4.3.3 saved because Apple keeps signing iOs 4.3.3
* If you want to downgrade to a previous version you will have to have the SHSH saved and the Hosts file modified.
Hi Gnzl,
Clarify that if you can downgrade with iTunes 10.5. I have tried it myself with the iPad. It is also true that I uninstalled it and reinstalled version 10.3 but mostly because it is in Spanish and 10.5 is in English. But it is fully compatible to downgrade from ios 5 to ios 4.3.3
regards
Thanks for the tutorial although it could be reduced to:
You plug the iPhone to the computer with iTunes open and click on restore.
All the best
If you don't put it in DFU, Yago gives an error.
Once the ZIP file of the idevice with IOS 4.3.3 has been downloaded, how do I make it recognize it when I am looking for it to select it when doing SHIFT + restore. Forgive my ignorance….
@FLD
If for some reason, when you download the firmware of your device it has a .ZIP extension, just rename it (do not unzip) to .ipsw and voila =) the iTunes firmware will recognize it.
Hello guys. I wanted to present a question that I have.
I have thought about installing the IOS 5 Beta on my iPad, I have read that iTunes 10.5 is necessary for this, my question is the following: Can iTunes 10.5 be installed to install IOS 5 Beta on the iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch and then uninstall iTunes 10.5 and install iTunes 10.3 and synchronize (Songs, Movies, Books…) the i-Device with IOS 5 Beta in iTunes 10.3?
Greetings and thank you!
Hello gnzl, thank you very much for the tutorial but it strikes me that as a solution to the itunes library error, you suggest that we remove it !!
On the other hand, have you tried that method? I think the firmware of the modem changed to 05.11 and when returning to ios 4.3.3 the error 1015 will appear, greetings!
Help!!! I have done the one to delete the iTunes Library file and I have lost my entire iTunes library when reinstalling 10.3 !!!
I have tried to restore the iTunesLibrary file from the trash and nothing, I have lost all the applications and music from my library and from the iphone….
From iTunes 10.5 you give alt + restore and it loads the 4.3.3 period. No DFU or bugs or anything. To the first ok.
The same thing happens to me as Jose, he loses absolutely all the applications and music, both from the iPhone and from iTunes, any solution? ¿? ¿? Would you have to see it warned in the tutorial !!!!!!!!!!
But if you put it!
but there is no way to recover itunes library ???
Since 10.5 I restore and the sim card does not activate me….
try another sim, sometimes they get screwed when restoring
I have already tried everything, iOS 5, the downgrade, the return to iOS 5 and everything OK.
Everything has turned out great the first time, they have even helped me with some prolemillas that I had external to the update.
It is a pleasure to work with people like that.
I wish you could help me.
All iOS 5 is perfect for me, but the problem I have had is that everything is perfect on the devices, but how can I synchronize my mac's agenda, calendars, notes, etc. with iCloud?
Between the two devices syncs without problem, but I can not find a way to synchronize with the Mac.
When I change contacts on the ipad, it changes on the iphone and vice versa, but if I change something on the Mac's agenda, there it stays ... Neither push, nor anything. : S
Thank you so much!
I had to Downgrade to IOS 4.3.3 because I was getting Error 17 in iTunes.
To those who delete the «iTunes Library», if you have another i-Device with the Library in it, use CopyTrans to transfer your Music to iTunes so that it is not deleted from the i-Device with which you are doing the Downgrade, and if So make a copy of the iTunes 10.3.3 files before updating to iTunes 10.5 just in case.
ah !!!! I have followed this tutorial and I have the iphone4 in a recovery loop !! there is no way to get it out of there !! If I restore with itunes it gives me error 1, if I put tinyumbrella to get out of recovery it restarts and does not exit the recovery, and with iReb neither !!! any ideas??
I followed the steps and I got an error 1604 that I don't know how to remove D:
I have tried trying to install ios 4.3.3 from iTunes 10.5 and nothing: /
Any suggestions on what I should do?
I have the same problem I get error 1604 trying to restore with iTunes 10.3 and nothing
Fuck! The truth is that it is a bit scary to try to get off the firm now… seeing that some are doing and others are not doing so well, could you know if how TASIO does it does not give problems? because ranx was toasted the sim, others following the tutor lost the library…. I tried to install iTunes 10.3 last night and nothing, it wouldn't let me, I went back to 10.5, but I want iOS 4.3.3 or 4.3.4 because some apps that I use don't work on iOS5b3 ...
Any clear solution guys ??
greetings to tooooos!
Well, I'm trying to Downgrade to IOS 4.3.3 and halfway through the attempt, iTunes gives an error and turns off, turns on again and tells me that there is an iPhone in recovery mode and I restore but this time it downloads the iOS4.3.4, then it gives me another download error, I'm going to go crazy! again to download it ...
To be continue
use tinyumbrella to get it out of recovery mode, if you don't know how to do it tomorrow morning I'll post a tutorial
Thanks Gnzl!
I have already taken it out of recovery mode with tinyumbrella, I have my iOS5b3 again and I think I will continue with it until further notice, I find it quite difficult to return to iOS 4.3.3 or 4.3.4, at least I and I believe that each iPhone and each case has a different solution sometimes ...
All the best
At 4.3.4 it is easy, at 4.3.3 it is somewhat more difficult, let's see if I'll work it out tomorrow
Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to go from ios 4.3.4 to 4.3.3 with the same procedure?
Regards!
error 3194 when restoring, how do I fix it?
To those who get the error 3194 do the following .. so I restore my ipod 4g to 4.3.3. :
In the PC your Local Disk, follow the Path:
"C: Windows / System32 / drivers / etc / hosts"
(Right click, open with: Notepad)
We add, at the end of all these lines the following:
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
Now, when iTunes thinks it is talking to Apple, it is really talking to Cydia. Then enter iTunes and press the Restore button on the computer together with the SHIFT key. Choose the firmware to install, and now you can restore without problems.
Hopefully it will serve you.
Can this be done even if the iPhone has not been jailbroken?
very good tutorial, personally I had ios5 beta 5 installed on my iphone, everything was fine, except that I did not hear very well when I was talking to a person, it was rattling or choppy, so I decided to go back to version 4.3.3 which generated error 3194 which I solved it with the help of the publication of Dave in advance thank you very much I was going crazy, from Chile greetings.
excellent !!! but if you have this problem "error 1015" just download the fixrecovery from thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/ and also download the zlib1.dll dll paste it in the same folder as the fix ... follow the steps of putting the iphone in dfu and voila ... they already have the problem solved !!!
how are you good
I have tried to do what it says in the tutorial I get to the restoration in iTunes, when I extract all the files from the pack I get an error message telling me "this device is not eligible for the request build" that I can do how I solve this problem.
please help
regards
The same thing happens to me = (
I have already done all the processing and it appears that the iPhone could not be restored and that an error 3194 has occurred, why does this appear or what do I have to do now?
Hello a question, when returning to the version of iOS 4, will there be any problem when updating when the official version of iOS5 comes out?

good friends, could someone tell me if the downgrade also lowers the baseband ??? Thank you!!!
Good morning, I have updated to IOS 5 and I have not saved the ssh and I have uploaded the baseband etc. Could I do a downgrade? Thanks a lot.
I'm right here, my friend, apparently, the shsh is not needed to perform the downgrade, what I am trying to do is to verify if when moving to version 4.3.5 it also lowers the baseband, with 4.3.3 it will not lower the baseband since that ios already It is not signed by Apple, as soon as I achieve something, I will let you know
Luisma, then I wait to see what you tell me, I'll be continually refreshing hahaha.
Please tell me something when you know. I tried to do the process of this thread, I cannot restore, it gives me the error 3194 ... I have tried to edit the host file and nothing, I'm still the same ... pfff
It has given me error 3194 please help, it says that it cannot be restored ¡¡¡
it gives me unknown error 20 please help
I have taken ios 4.3.5 I have edited the host file and I have managed to restore it with itunes ...
I think I have achieved it and without sh sh my baseband is 04.10.01, can you confirm it for me?
Well I tell you that I keep trying, I get an error 1604, at times I tell you what I achieve
GOOD, I NEED A LITTLE HELP FROM YOU, A YEAR AGO I BUY AN IPHONE 3GS BY EBAY, SEEMING SUPPOSEDLY RELEASED, I UPDATED IT TO IOS 5 OFFICIAL, BUT IT ASKS ME FOR A CERTAIN ACTIVATION, WHICH I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE I PLACE THE SIM ON IT CARD Q HAD YOU BEFORE AND DOES NOT GRAB IT. NOWHERE CAN I ACTIVATE IT, TRY TO DOWNGRADE IT TO 4.3.3 BUT IT GIVES ME ERROR 3194, WHICH TRIES TO SOLVENT BY EDITING THE HOSTS, BUT STILL GIVING ME THE SAME ERROR. I NEED HOW TO PUT MY EQUIPMENT TO WORK, REGARDLESS OF IOS. WHAT CAN I DO? THANK YOU
Install ios 5 on my iphone 4 and i have lost all photos and videos from iphone 4 roll.
I have saved the backup. It is possible that if I go back to ios 4.3.5 or lower I can restore back to the saved backup, which when ios 5 is installed tells me that it is corrupted. And if that happens, I will have recovered the photos and videos from the reel or that information is lost. I have PC not Mac
By the way and continuing with the previous comment ...
If you didn't have the jailbreak installed, you can do that reverse gear ...
And as for the fireware, the view tells me that a zip file, but the name is this iPhone3,1_4.3.3_8J2_Restore, and itunes does not recognize it ... you can download the file that recognizes them ...
Thank you.
Hello, I have an ipad 2 wifi and I update it with the official version of ios5, someone has tried the downgrade on ipad 2 and it has gone well?

I can't go back to ios 4.3.3 I get error 3194, what should I do, help? Please
Well, what you have to do instead of going crazy is call Apple's technical support phone. They are going to solve it one way or another, although they cannot go back if they are going to solve them. I have done so. Thank you very much to all.
there is no way to solve it I have tried everythingooooooooooooooo
Have you tried calling apple's technical support phone?

I have an iphone 3gs updated to ios 5.0.1, it is giving me problems that when synchronizing it tells me to wait because it is synchronizing the apps; but it takes more than 12 hours with this message.
What I need to do?
If you uploaded the baseband you can't do anything the gevey sim doesn't work with that baseband if you only updated I'm afraid to tell you that you can't do anything, for that you have to do a custom preserving the baseband.
Hello, I updated my iphone 4 to the ios 5.0.1 version through iTunes and my phone was blocked and at the time of the initial configuration I follow the steps until it tells me that the sim tag is not correct and from there it did not happen, , is there any way to unlock? or some gevey compatible with ios5 or I can return to the previous version ,,, thank you please I need your help ..
