Downgrade iOS8

[DDustiNN]

DFU mode, click restore (no option click), iTunes will automatically download the correct file for you and restore. No issues, and glad to be back on solid ground with 7.1.1.

This worked, thanks! Not sure why the option-click ipsw file didn't work for me but it did for someone else though.

I reported my deal breaking bugs and I'll try beta 2 I'm sure

That worked for me as well, just hit the restore button, it downloads ios 7.1 from apple.

Revert Back to iOS 7?

How can you revert back to iOS 7? This beta is terrible. Thanks!

 

[mlemonds]

as with the other betas, you should be able to download the 7.1.1 file and do a dfu restore.

 

[CutterSlade]

Yep, just do go into DFU mode, then iTunes will download 7.1.1 if you haven't already downloaded it and restore it. I did it yesterday.

 

[ErikGrim]

Don't even need to download the 7.1.1 IPSW as iTunes will do it for you when it recognises your phone in DFU mode. Easy peasy.

So, you're a developer that has access to iOS 8 and you don't know how to revert back to 7? Ok.

Another plus vote for downgrading without any trouble. iTunes downloaded 7.1.1 for me.

 

[CutterSlade]

Yep, it's good to see that downgrading from the beta is no hassle at least.

Lol. You people really need to get over it.

Lol. You people really need to get over it.

Get over what? The fact that OP has a link to a FB "community" about Apple products and he can't figure out how to revert back to iOS 7? Not to mention his name is iThinkApple? I'll get right on that!

Same crap every year.
