Downgrading iOS 5 Beta

[Roessnakhan]

This may be relevant to some who may want to try out iOS5 but are worrying about downgrading, if not feel free to lock/delete.

I had upgraded to the iOS 5 Beta 1 and just wanted to test to see if I could downgrade to 4.3.3 and it went off without a hitch (iTunes 10.5, iPhone in DFU).

What model? And is your baseband downgraded too?

baseband will bot down grade. says in his signature he has a I4. also as long as Apple is signing 4.3.3 it shouldn't be a problem after that you need shsh blobs. just like any other firmware this happened every beta release.

iPhone 4 GSM.

I didn't check my baseband when I was running iOS5, but now on 4.3.3 I have baseband 04.10.01.

Good post, I was just about to do the same, I'm going to try IOS 5 and then will most likely downgrade to 4.3.3 and jailbreak again

Isn't that a hassle? I might try it, but I have so many JB apps that it would be a pain to reinstall them all :-/

It's highly unlikely that a beta version of iOS would include a baseband update, especially beta 1.

I have a Verizon iPhone running 4.2.8.

I want to try out the iOS5 beta. Any idea if I can jailbreak that?

you wouldnt jailbreak it to get iOS 5 you need a develpers account with apple, then you can download the firmware 5.0 Beta1 and you restore using itunes 10.5 beta

Lol I'm not that lazy! I've restored and installed and jailbreaking my phone so many times!! It's prolly a 30 min process to get everything back on as was!
