Newsstand in folder if you downgrade

[MoodyM]

I updated to iOS7 and put Newsstand in a folder (called News). I then downgraded back to 6.1.4 and noticed the little preview of my News folder looked like it was missing a little icon inside, so I opened the folder to see what was going on, and low and behold the Newsstand icon was inside the folder!

how did you manage that considering ios 7 backups cannot be restored in ios 6 and downgrade is not possible without DFU restore?

I simply reversed what I did to get to iOS 7 - namely, alt-clicked Update (not Restore) and chose the 6.1.4 ipsw

This doesn't explain how you restored your backup?

If he did what he just said there wouldn't be a need to restore or use a backup at all.

Is it working smoothly after downgrading like that?

This worked? Seriously?

Were you on beta 1 or 2?

Beta 2. And it did work, but to be honest I've had some errors that I've never seen before, so I restored now to 6.1.4 using Restore (not Update) (and I never used DFU mode, just a straight Restore).

The error was a popup in the Dropbox app that kept saying "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" which wouldn't go away, even after connecting to iTunes.

so far with iOS 7 beta 1 and beta 2, DFU mode is not required at all to downgrade (it even reverts the baseband)

i've done it both times now on my iPhone 5

Is your device registered?
From a lot of the posts on here, DFU sure seems like it's required for unregistered devices.

I don't think mine is, but it was for iOS6 beta, but that was over a year ago...

of course. why would anyone use an iOS beta without being registered?

Apparently, a lot of people who make their way here, did not bother registering their devices. Not a wise move, to be sure.
