ios-7
Tips: You'd better to backup your data before the downgrade.
iCloud and iTunes can help you do the backup. I'd recommend the
iCloud method, it's easier. Go to your iOS device 'Settings' ->
'Storage & Backup', turn on the 'iCloud Backup', and click 'Back
Up Now'. The backup will be start automatically, it will take a few
minutes to finish the backup.
Now. Let's Start the steps to downgrade iOS. I will take my iPhone as sample
in this guide, the operation steps are the same for iPad and iPod Touch.
Step1. Turn off the iPhone. Push the Home button and hold it, while you plug
it into the computer. Wait until you see the screen that announces you to
connect to iTunes.
Step2. iTunes should announce you that an iPhone is in the recovery mode. It
needs to be restored if you want to use it. Click OK.
Step3. Restore the device by clicking the Restore iPhone. A new
window will appear. It will ask you if you are sure about restoring your
device. Click on the Restore and Update button.
Step4. iTunes will start downloading the official firmware, which is iOS
7.1.1. When the download is done, it will be installed automatically.
Sometimes, you will find your iPhone is stuck in 'Connect to iTunes'
screen, and then you can follow this guide to get your iPhone out of
recovery mode.
