how to downgrade an iPhone 4 to iOS 4!

[@bwarbahzad6397]

Downgraded 3 iPhone 4’s using this, iOS 7 was slow and sluggish! This is really nice and fast!

[@blashfeastYT]

Basically those great phones run much better on the operating system they were released with, but as Apple seeks to "upgrade" they put a heavier operating system on them and that eats up their capacity and features, good video!!

[@hahaxd-yy1122]

apple forces users to upgrade. think about it A decade ago people replaced their phones every 2-3 yrs . Now with much advanced tech and chips and battery and hardware, still we upgrade every 2-3 yre

[@axethepenguin]

Hey, just want to warn you: as I was setting up my iPhone 4, I realized the battery had swollen up. Upon closer inspection, I realized the battery was not only swollen, but also punctured. So, watch out for that!

[@badwolf7189]

If you get the "serial number" error, it's because your iphone was bought after iOS 5 release. You can't downgrade to iOS 4 but iOS 5 and up will work perfectly

[@Saiman_Hussaini]

Same happened to me, I get this error too, my iPhone 4 was brought after the iOS 6 release I think

It’s always nice to have the real blobs on hand

[@superstar64]

Most people don't have their old phones on hand, let alone save SHSH blobs every single time an update releases. Tools like this make the process accessible for everyone without having to have owned the phone since launch.

[@damian9303]

@@superstar64 that’s true, luckily on iDevices this old you can simply dump onboard blobs if you had the foresight to decide against updating it to begin with. The biggest benefit is not having to go through as many steps, functional only on the command line via macOS or Linux whereas iFaith work fine on Windows and can make a personalized IPSW easily restorable on an age-appropriate version of iTunes (or in the case of redsn0w, even perform the restoration directly through its own GUI).

[@ifrolov44]

Hello! Is there any way to to do the same downgrade for iPhone 4S down to iOS 5?

[@RaxiyaanXr]

As he told, you can do it to all 32 bit iPhones including 4S.

I had the same thought. I understand that it's possible, but a walkthrough video like this one would be extremely helpful.
