For anyone (else) dissatisfied with iOS6 there is a way to go back. It's more difficult if you're already upgraded to the latest iTunes version, but the process isn't impossible. You download the ipsw file for your hardware, backup the device, then put it in DFU mode, option-click restore, select the ipsw, then restore the backup you just made.
I am going to wait until 6.1 because I've had many other (than maps) problems. My company's wifi seems incompatible with the iOS6, it connects then immediately drops the connection. Reverting to iOS5 restores infinite wifi happiness. The slow, awkward to use app store is also best avoided until apple figure out how to make it faster and work properly. In the past I have been upgrading happily every time, but this time I really wish I'd waited. I haven't found a single useful 6 feature yet.
- Splines 14y agoDoes this still work today? I tried downgrading and got error 3194, which seems to indicate that Apple is no longer signing 5.1.1 (I hadn't jailbroken/saved shsh blobs yet). Am I SOL?
- plorkyeran 14y agoI tried to back up the shsh blob with TinyUmbrella a few days ago and it was already unable to sign anything older than the first 6.0 developer preview, so it's probably too late.
