Hello all,
I have a huge dilemma, and would be seriously grateful if anyone on here could help solve this problem! But first, here's the story.
1 | I backed up my iPhone using iCloud. No problem there.
2 | Next (out of curiousity), I (illegitimately) installed iOS 7 beta 2 on my iPhone without UDID. (After all, with its first redesign in donkeys years, the temptation was too much!) The update went smoothly with no problems, and I had it for a few hours.
3 | Whilst iOS 7 is light years ahead of iOS 6, and I was already intending to downgrade, I realised that Skype was totally kaputt, and hit the restore button on iTunes to get back to 6.1.4, and that went well with no problems.
Now, the problem is that my iCloud backup is not compatible with iOS 6.
Before people here gloat 'dude, you should've been a developer' (in which case I say 'I'm sorry' and 'you're welcome'), here's two questions to ask:
Q1 | Is there any way to make an iOS 7 iCloud backup compatible with iOS 6.1.4?
more importantly:
Q2 | I used Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker to retrieve my iCloud backup. Can I convert this into a backup that I can restore using iTunes?
I really don't want to resort to starting afresh, there is too much personal stuff I have on there to lose.
Thank you!
