hacking a Beta backup to restore to iOS7?

Something from http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1684219 might be of some help (possibly also http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1611358, although that's going about it somewhat differently).

 

I don't think this works on iOS 8.

 

There's nothing to hack to go back to iOS 7 and use a backup unless your trying to keep the is data but why

 

People haven't been able to do it?

 

I tried to hack the .plist and iTunes told me the backup was corrupt. After I had restored to iOS 7. However the other method worked as I did an opt. Click update to 7.1.2 from 8.0 beta 2. I was kind of surprised it had worked

 

So this does not work in iOS 8?

 

There is a way. Using ibackupbot and selectively pulling data off and changing a few plists. I've done it before.

By this I mean restoring an ios8 backup on an ios7 device

 

Is there a way to go back to iOS 7?

 

I don't think so

If there was a way to do it, it would be relatively well known about on the net and people would have tried to do it
