Guys, I just wanted to clear up some miscommunication by Apple. They say on the developer web site that once you upgrade to I O S 9, you cannot go back to a previous version, like 8.3. That's utter bullshit from what so far I can see. Now, I wanna make this very very clear. I am saying this on the basis of! from what I so? far! can see! Keep that in mind.
I have an I O S device which I did update to I O S 9. I've changed my mind, and now am deciding not to deploy it to I O S 9 after all. OK, I have a device I will! be keeping on I O S 9, just not this particular one. Anyway, the point is, they are only partially right in what they're saying on their web site from what it seems. 1. If you try to downgrade while your device is normally booted up into I O S 9, then no. It won't work. That is factually accurate information which I have verified. 2. If, however Apple has not stopped digitally signing the previous version of I O S, which of corse, 8.3, they haven't, then you can get it back as long as before you restore the device, you first get the device into DFU mode, just as you did when you upgraded to I O S 9. I tried this, and I O S 8.3 definitely now is downloading. I'll keep you all posted, and let you all know if I'm able to flash it back, and restore from my backup. To the best of my knowledge though, this seems to so far be working. Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
