After updating to a new version of IOS, you may notice that you do not like the firmware. In this case, there is a great way out - to roll back the software to the optimal, in your opinion, version. That is, if you have upgraded to, for example, IOS 10, then you can safely install it on your IOS device 8 using the instructions below.

When to rollback iOS

Reasons to install more old version operating system may be the following circumstances:

• With new firmware versions, the design changes, and not all users may like the new design.
• The most common reason is the appearance of freezes and glitches. Such problems occur for two reasons: either the new firmware version became available to users in a too raw form, with errors in the code and shortcomings, or the device that was updated was outdated for the loads created by new version iOS.

Please note that it is not possible to roll back any device for any version, you can view detailed information about which device to which firmware version can be rolled back to the following site - http://appstudio.org/shsh . All data is arranged in a table format.

How to Rollback iOS to a Specific Version on an Apple Device

Before starting the process, you need to prepare the following things:

• iTunes installed on your computer and updated to the latest version.
• Downloaded to an easily accessible folder the version of your choice software, which has the IPSW format. You can download it from trusted Internet sites that distribute IOS firmware for free, for example, at the following link - http://appstudio.org/ios. Download the firmware strictly for your device model, otherwise there will be problems during installation.
• A USB adapter that will connect your device to your computer.

If all of the above conditions are met by you, then the next step is to prepare the device itself for the rollback process.

Saving important data

Please note that when you roll back a device, all data, applications, and media files are permanently erased from it, so you should take care of them. There is an option that allows you to delete files from the device, it will be discussed later in the article, but it is no less stable. You can save everything you need using a backup created as follows:

Disable password

Another important point is to disable the password and Touch ID, if it is supported and enabled on your device.

Deactivate Find My iPhone

Before any actions with the firmware of the device, you must turn off the Find My iPhone function, because, otherwise, iTunes simply will not allow you to perform any actions:

Firmware rollback

If all the previous preparatory work has been carried out, then you can proceed to the rollback itself. It doesn't matter which device you're downgrading from, or which version of IOS you'll be migrating from and to.

1. Connect your device to your computer with a USB adapter.
2. Log in to the system.
3. Go to the settings of your device by clicking on the icon in the form of a phone or tablet.

5. A window with folders will open, you need to specify the path to the firmware that you downloaded earlier.
6. Wait while iTunes extracts the software from the firmware and installs it. The process can last from five minutes to half an hour, do not disconnect the device from the computer and do not interrupt the process in any way, otherwise the device may enter the endless recovery mode.

Rollback without data loss

This rollback option also exists, it allows you to rollback without losing data on the device. To do this, in paragraph 4 of the "Firmware Rollback" section, you need to click on the "Restore" button, and the "Update" button. All other steps are exactly the same. The only thing to keep in mind is that the full recovery, that is, resetting the system and installing it from scratch is safer, since the chance that any elements will remain from the previous version is much lower.
