How to downgrade from iOS 7 to iOS 6?
Unfortunately, I had the experience of "upgrading" to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S well after the "grace period" that allowed downgrading back to iOS 6 was gone. I was shown some of the new features of the operating system, and thought to myself "Why the heck not? Let's give it a try!" Only to be severely disappointed in how it looks, and worse, how it works, despite trying to find something good about it that redeems it. NOTE: I'm VERY MUCH AWARE THAT APPLE IS NO LONGER SIGNING THE CERTIFICATES FOR IOS 6, AND THAT I CAN'T DOWNGRADE BY CONVENTIONAL MEANS! DON'T TELL ME SOMETHING I ALREADY KNOW. I just want to put a line out there for anyone that might have an idea on how to find a loophole to "trick" the system into thinking iOS 6 is still compatible. I currently have another jailbroken device (iPhone 4) running iOS 6.0.1 with Cydia installed. Would it be possible to somehow use the SHSH blobs captured by Cydia to "restore" my iPhone 4S back to iOS 6? If any of you have any other ideas on what to do, please share them! I'd much appreciate being able to go back to a system that looks and functions better for my taste. Unless there's absolutely NO Way in which I can go back, as well as a legitimate reason given for why I can't, I won't take "No" for an answer.
ANY POSTS SAYING ANYTHING ALONG THE LINES OF "Oh, suck it up, you can't downgrade and you're stupid for upgrading if you just wanted to go back" WILL EITHER BE IGNORED OR RATED LOW, IF THERE's AN OPTION. THAT WILL NOT BE HELPFUL FOR WHAT I'M SEEKING, So DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME IF THAT'S All YOU'LL DO.
Added (1). Well, it appears to be there's no hope for me to downgrade manually, thanks to doing further research and using Tinyumbrella… However, I have heard that one can exchange their iOS 7 infested iPhone for one with iOS 6 still installed, so that may be what I'll do. I can't believe the direction Apple just took with this new iOS…
Oh, suck it up, you can't downgrade and you're stupid for upgrading if you just wanted to go back!
