How To: Downgrade From iOS 5 Beta 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 To iOS 4.3.5 Without Saved SHSH Blobs

September 3, 2011 by Jaden Easton-Ellett 51 Comments

With a lot of people running the iOS 5 beta series firmware, I am sure downgrading back down to the official iOS 4.3.5 firmware has crossed your mind. If this sounds like you, you will be glad to know that the process of downgrading back to the iOS 4.3.5 firmware is extremely simple. It does not involve changing your hosts file or using the application TinyUmbrella and it doesn’t require you to have saved SHSH blobs. This is because the iOS 4.3.5 firmware is the latest official firmware available.

Note: The iOS 4.3.5 firmware can be Jailbroken but it is a tethered Jailbreak. Follow our step-by-step guides in our How To Jailbreak section.

You can follow the straightforward guide below for downgrading your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad running the iOS 5 Beta 1, iOS 5 Beta 2, iOS 5 Beta 3, iOS 5 Beta 4, iOS 5 Beta 5, iOS 5 Beta 6 or iOS 5 Beta 7 firmware to the iOS 4.3.5 firmware.

Downgrading From iOS 5 Beta 1 – 7 To iOS 4.3.5

Step 1) – The first thing you are going to need to do is ensure you are running the latest development version of iTunes on your computer (which will be iTunes 10.5 beta 7). You can download iTunes 10.5 beta 7 for Windows and Mac OS X from the Apple Dev Center.

Step 2) – Once you have ensured you are running the latest version of iTunes on your computer you will need to make sure you have access to the iOS 4.3.5 firmware. If you need to download this firmware file you can go to the iJailbreak Downloads Section.

Step 3) – Now comes the hardest part; You must put your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad into DFU mode. This is done by doing the following:

  • Turn your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad off.
  • Hold the Power and Home Button for exactly 10 seconds.
  • Once you Hold the Power and Home Button for 10 seconds release the Power Button and continue holding the Home Button for up to 30 seconds

If you enter DFU mode correctly iTunes will open telling you that that you must restore your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

Step 4) – With iTunes open press Shift+Restore (Windows) or Option+Restore (Mac) and select the iOS 4.3.5 firmware file. Upon doing this your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad will begin restoring itself to the iOS 4.3.5 firmware without any problems as the iOS 4.3.5 firmware is the latest official firmware.

    I can downgrade to iOS 4.2.1 (last version installed on my 3GS before the update to iOS5B7), but it just won’t go to 4.3.5.

  10. Jasper Lynn says

    September 11, 2011 at 8:20 am

  14. Stephan says

    September 19, 2011 at 5:40 am

    i did it as described, but itunes crashed while restoring 4.3.5

    only way to get my 3gs working is installing latest itunes 10.4 and downgrading to 4.3.3, then using fixrecovery to get out of recovery loop after error 1015 …

    any recommendations?

  15. Sukthedick says

    September 25, 2011 at 10:44 am

    your iphone will show up in iTunes beta 7, but you can’t use the backup from iOS 5 because of the way iOS 5 backups work.

  16. Abudabest says

    September 29, 2011 at 8:59 pm

    October 2, 2011 at 5:39 pm

    Yes, for the downgrade to 4.2.1 I used saved ones, but for 4.3.5 I did not have, thought they were not neccesary.

  22. Sar says

    October 18, 2011 at 6:25 pm

    I am also trying to downgrade, and I get an error, and than my phone will just reboot and I still have iOS 5. Does iTunes have to be 10.5 beta 7 for this to work for sure

  23. Guest says

    October 18, 2011 at 8:48 pm

    It works fine until the end of the restore, when it ‘verifies’ with Apple. Then it says I’ not authorized for 4.3.5, and quits! It won’t do it without being connected to the internet either! I have ITunes 10.5, and and Ipad 2 16G WiFi.

    Now the Ios 5 is the latest official firmware (not 4.3.5), so you cannot downgrade it in that easy way. i will post the working way soon.

    My iTunes, as soon as the iPhone is on DFU mode, pops up a screen saying that the update server could not be contacted and telling me to check my internet connection… I tried it with my firewall off and still had the same problem. Does anyone know how to solve this? I have the latest version of the iTunes, but when i click “check for update” it pops up the same window saying it cannot reach the server… =/

    December 8, 2011 at 2:43 pm

    If you dont have the Blobs saved, you cant… only ifaith will help if you are already on 4.3.5

  44. L0s says

    December 8, 2011 at 2:45 pm

    The downgrade does not work anymore as 5.0.1 is finalized at this time… Apple is only signing 5.0.1 at the time and 5.1 next… if tinyumbrella doesnt have your SHSH saved… you CANNOT DOWNGRADE

  45. Anonymous says

    December 19, 2011 at 9:56 pm

    I wish I had known that before I tried this! Now my phone is all messed up and I can’t downgrade or do anything. Why didn’t you delete this tutorial if it no longer works????
