How to backup my apps on my iphone 4s before downgrading?
I'm looking to downgrade iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 6.1.2 on my iphone 4s by downloading the 6.1.2 ipsw file, so I can jailbreak. However I don't want to lose any of my apps or app data. I want to know: 1) Is that kind of downgrading even possible? 2) How can you backup your apps and app data, and restore them when you're done without going back to 6.1.3?
You can use iCloud to backup your phone apps setting. You have to download apps again if you loose, but you can retrieve setting from iCloud again for all apps.
You wouldn't be able to downgrade anyway. You'd need SHSH blobs. Its not as simple as downloading the firmware & going through iTunes.
iTunes does the backups/restores
- When i backup my Itunes. Does it save my apps and the memory in my apps? I have to backup my Iphone 4 to Itunes because i'm afraid it's going to break again. I don't want to lose my information in my apps. Cause i have a music app with over 300 songs and i don't want to lose them and have to re download them? Any help
- Lost all downloaded apps from iPhone downgrading from iOS 7 Beta? Before I upgraded, I manually backed up my iPhone on my mac. I needed to downgrade after upgrading, so I opt+clicked restore iPhone and selected the correct firmware, 6.1.4 (for my iPhone 5). I loaded up the iPhone and restored from my previous backup. When I loaded up my phone, there were no apps on it that didn't come with the device! Does anyone know what went wrong or how to get all of the apps and their previous data back? It would help me beyond belief!
