Downgrading to ios 6.1.4

[Abba 701]

If you click check for update then a 6.1.4 Ipsw will it update back to 6.1.4 with all your data as well or everything will be erased?

Not in my experience. I kept getting a 4027 error, had to connect to my Mac via a USB cable, load Xcode, remove 7 using my registered iPhone portal, and then restore 6.1.3, which then up updated to 6.1.4. My understanding though is that you force your phone into DFU, and then restore the proper version of iOS 6. You will, however, loose the data contained in your apps.

google 'downgrade ios7 to ios6' and you'll find tons of links
turn your phone into DFU mode, then alt+click Restore in iTunes and choose your downloaded ipsw file for ios6. Everything will be deleted, but hopefully iTunes have a backup of what you had before you upgraded to ios7, and when you set up your new ios6 phone you'll get the option to restore from that backup

You will lose all your data, unless you do a restore + backup. And even then, you may not get 100% back of all files and app data.

DFU, restore to the 6.1.4 ipsw, restore from local backup worked for me. All files and savegames etc intact.

Nothing special to do. I just clicked Alt Restore and browsed to ipsw of 6.1.4 and it worked fine in both betas.

Yes, but you can't restore 6.1.4 with a backup taken from 7 beta, correct? So, anything not saved up to the cloud in the time you've been on 7 beta will be lost, when you go back to 6.1.4.

it will downgrade just fine on DFU mode but backup will not work, it will tell you that the version of the backup is too high and not compatible

beware
