iPhone X How to transfer information from x to x

[Brandonjr36]

My speaker on my iPhone X started messing up. Apple is sending me a new replacement, I’m sure it will be on an older software version. I don’t want to update it cause I want to be able to jailbreak. Apple made me update my current one to see if it helped with the issue. And Ik when I go restore my new x from a backup it’s gonna tell me I have to update. How do I get around it?

I think your are going to get a phone with iOS 11.2.1

Maybe not when I had an issue with my x the first time the new one came with 11.0.3

I think you just have to make a backup with iTunes, then use that back up to setup your phone. I always prefer to do a clean install. You always have the option to update or not.

Oh it won’t ask me to update the phone?

iTunes ask you all the times that you connect the phone. Take it to an Apple Store to assist you, those guys gladly will help you with that, if you are not sure, don't risk to loose you data.

Closest Apple store is 2 and half hours from me. I just want to be able to put all my stuff on the new phone and not have to update it.

Not sure if that will work. I thought all devices needed to be updated including iTunes.

One you go forward with data you can't go back. You will have to update or lose user data since the last update.

If the version is that important to you, just lose the data. Can't be that critical right?
