\"\"<\/a>So you did it.\u00a0 Now you want to go back to iOS5 from iOS6. Of course iPhone 5 and 4s users are out of luck but if you have the iPhone 4, you can still correct your mistake. All you need is a jailbreak. However, if you do have the iPhone 4s or 5, you may still want to jailbreak. Only a matter of time before there is a hack that will allow you to use other map programs.<\/p>\n

Now before you get all excited about ‘going back’ to iOS5, there are few things you should know.\u00a0 First, this is a ‘TETHERED’ Jailbreak.\u00a0 That means every time you restart your phone you have to go through this jailbreak again. This is not as bad as it sounds since it only a matter of time before an untethered jailbreak comes out and then you do not have to worry about it.\u00a0 Personally I only restart my iPhone perhaps once every few months. Also I really hope you saved a copy of your iPhone before the upgrade, if not you need to download the older versions.<\/p>\n

BTW:\u00a0 if you have NOT upgraded,\u00a0 for those devices capable of running 6.0, the 5.1.1 SHSH blob signing window will soon close, so it\u2019s very important that you backup your 5.1.1 blobs now while you still can<\/strong>. Do it for every device you have (see tutorial sites like iClarified<\/a> if you don\u2019t know the process).<\/p>\n

Here are detailed steps laid out from Redmond Pie<\/a>, my go to source.\u00a0 All links go to their site.<\/p>\n

Before going through any jailbreak process it is always good housekeeping to perform a full backup of all information on the device. It is unlikely that anything will go wrong during the process but when undertaking any process that modifies the internals of a file system it is always prudent to err on the side of caution.<\/p>\n
