    How to Downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to iOS 8.1


    Apple has just released iOS 8.1.1 yesterday, so if you have accidentally upgraded to iOS 8.1.1 or you want a jailbroken iOS, Fortunately Apple is still signing the iOS 8.1, so users can downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to iOS 8.,1 easily


    How to Downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to iOS 8.1:

    1-First Download the appropriate iOS 8.1 firmware file for your device


    2- Backup your devie

    3- Connect the device running iOS 8.1.1 to your computer.

    4- Launch iTunes and select the iOS device from the top right corner, to the left of the iTunes Store button.

    5- Hold the Alt/Option key on the Mac or Shift Key in Windows on your keyboard and click on the Check for Update option, instead of restoring. We were able to successfully downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to iOS 8.1 using this step, but if you want to go by the book then you should use the Restore method, but it will be more time consuming. Important note: If you use the Restore method, then it will wipe the data from your device so please don’t forget to take a backup.

    6- Select the ipsw file you had downloaded earlier.

    7- iTunes will inform that it will update your iOS device to iOS 8.1 and will verify the update with Apple, Click Update.

    8- iTunes should now downgrade your iOS device to iOS 8.1.
