Restoring from a 6.1 backup to a 6.0.2 iPhone 5

I've downgraded from 6.1 beta to 6.0.2, but as I should have expected, iTunes won't let me restore using the backup I made since it was made with a newer version of iOS.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get around this? I have too many apps and settings to just restore as a new phone and reconfigure everything. I read a comment in another post where someone said they thought there was a way to edit the 6.1 backup file to make it work for a restore on 6.0.2.

There's no way around it.

I dont think so.
Either way 6.1 should be out soon so then you will be able to update and restore from that backup.

Not what I wanted to hear, but thanks, guys.

The only reason I care is that there seems to be a bug in 6.1 that's preventing me from connecting to a closed hotel wifi network, even though I have an access key. Guess I'll just have to live with it

Sorry, just how did you downgrade from 6.1 to 6.0.2?
Would like to do it.

Thank you very much.
