Looks fun, I’ll try it as I’ve gotten a GSM iPhone 4 off of eBay, sadly on iOS 7.1.2, but with this tutorial, hopefully it will go all the way back to 4.3.5! With no jailbreaking!
Great video and great channel :) By the way, Legacy IOS Kit has recently appeared, with which you can downgrade in a few clicks, jailbreak and much more (not only for the 4th iPhone). If you can - make a video about this utility, I think it will be useful. :)
I still have an iPhone 4S that came with iOS 9.3.5 but I was able to downgrade it to iOS 6.1.3. I also have an iPod touch 1st generation from 2007 thats still on iOS 1.1.5
you probably have an iPhone 4s. it’s pretty hard to find out which one is it when you look at it for the first time. and yeah, you can downgrade 4s model only to 6.1.3
Use legacy iOS kit instead. it's easier to use you don't need an old version of mac os, you still need mac os but not an old version and you don't have the iOS 7 apple logo on boot
You cannot use the GSM-2012 iPhone 4 with this downgrade. I have attempted to downgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 4 with S0meiyohsino before but have failed on MacOS Mojave; is that too new?
I have three questions I would like to ask. I am considering downgrading from 7.1.2 to 6.1.2 on my iPhone4 (softbank,16gb) ・No SHSH brob pros &cons ・Is it possible to jailbreak on the downgraded device? ・Is a complete downgrade possible? ・How can I revert back to the original OS? Please tell me.
It has been, indeed. I’ve simply not had the time or mental stamina to work on it. I hope to work on it more when I move out and don’t have to deal with so many responsibilities while I’m still living at home. :)
Hi I have a problem with my iPhone 4 3,1 because the power button doesn't work anymore. It’s stuck to the iTunes icon and I tried so many things to downgrade to iOS 4, or to iOS 6 in their old fail, and I don't know what to do!
@@MattsTech Note: This tool relies on iOS 7.1.2 blobs (that's the whole reason why it's even possible to downgrade, iOS 7 has an exploit), so no it won't work on an iPod touch
Hey, for some reason, I couldn’t get the downgrade to work but when I went to restore it back to iOS 7 it’s now refusing to restore. It looks like it’s restoring, but soon as the restore is done, it goes back to iTunes recovery image
I would suggest putting your device in DFU mode to restore your device. Press and hold the power button and home button for 10 seconds while plugged in. After that, let go of the power button, but keep holding the home button for another 10 seconds. Your iPhone should display in iTunes or the Finder, and you can restore it from there. If this doesn’t work, your device could be physically damaged, however, this downgrade cannot cause that, it would have just exposed a pre-existing issue.
Never mind got my iPhone 4 to work again. I just had to use powderedsn0w thank you though. also the downgrade tool you have in the description is missing like most of its files and doesn’t work
Nice to video Matt´ssx ..............Se whatt for jobs in WINDOWS 7,8.1,10 OR 11 downgrade ios 7.1.2 to 6.1.1 in Windows Os ....Tanks sou much and GOD BLESS YOU.......
Yes for the music and movies but most but not all apps will work, too can fix that by downloading on a it device with same Apple id then going into the purchases section of the IOS 4 phones stored and getting it from there.
I’d suggest putting your device in DFU mode when restoring, and if that doesn’t work, try restoring from a different computer or use a different cable.
@@MattsTech yeah, that’s fine, no worries. Btw, downloaded never version from GitHub, trying to install iOS 5 and sadly bricked my phone, it does not go out of recovery.

thats nice!
Unfortunately, My iPhone 4 was made in 2012, and i can't downgrade it to ios 4.3. I can downgrade it maximum to 6.1.3 😢😭
sad
6.1.3 ones was released in March 2013. You mean 6.0 or 6.0.1 or 5.1 or 5.1.1?
you probably have an iPhone 4s. it’s pretty hard to find out which one is it when you look at it for the first time. and yeah, you can downgrade 4s model only to 6.1.3
@@ktosiekofficial no, i have iPhone 4
The 2012 iPhone 4 can be downgraded to as low as 6.0, though 6.1.3 would be the better option if you prefer a more stable experience.
the only folders in the zip are bin and CBPatcher, any reason why this is
Thank you so much this finnaly worked for me
Amazing content keep it up!
CDMA iPhone 4 can be downgraded. I’m running iOS 5.1.1 on two of mine
Use legacy iOS kit instead. it's easier to use you don't need an old version of mac os, you still need mac os but not an old version and you don't have the iOS 7 apple logo on boot
I downgraded a cdma iPhone 4 to iOS 5 with legacy iOS downgrader, and my phone came out in 2012, don’t even think iOS 5 ran on it originally
Oh interesting! I'll have to look into that later! I guess there's a new method for those phones!
May I ask which version of iOS can be downgraded if I have iPhone 4 global version.
I’m stuck with “Could not retrieve device serial number. Unable to continue” can you please help me?
can u do one too with iPhone 4 iOS 7.1.2 to iOS 5.1.1 in 2024 on macOS 14.5?? :) can't find any video who does this
From what I can tell, you can't use macOS 14 to do this, as the added securities in newer macOS versions break the process.
I can't find the files in the link you provided, seems to be missing the "s0melyoshino-master" file.
CDMA 4’s can go to 5 and up on the downgrade
I thought mine was stuck on hashing ipsw and then it was actually just my MacBook Pro 2009
You cannot use the GSM-2012 iPhone 4 with this downgrade. I have attempted to downgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 4 with S0meiyohsino before but have failed on MacOS Mojave; is that too new?
Mojave is too new, and you can’t go any lower than iOS 6.0 with a 2012 model. :)
@@MattsTech I looked on the tool's website, and it states that it does not work with a 2012 model period.
Hm, that’s not what I’ve heard, alright. I’ll have to verify it sometime.
The link is broken, it says it was removed due to terms
lol you're in the right place I've just got an iphone 4
Do you know if this would work on a mac virtual machine? I'm wondering because I only have windows.
I have three questions I would like to ask.
I am considering downgrading from 7.1.2 to 6.1.2 on my iPhone4 (softbank,16gb)
・No SHSH brob pros &cons
・Is it possible to jailbreak on the downgraded device?
・Is a complete downgrade possible?
・How can I revert back to the original OS?
Please tell me.
Heyo, looks like the downgrader utility is missing some files in the link provided, would it be possible to re-upload them please? Thanks!
NOTE: you must be on ios 4.3.5 if u wanna jailbreak, apparently 4.3.3 cant be jailbroken.
Noted.
It can be just the tool can't pre Jailbreak it for you, you have to do it your self.
Now this makes me wanna buy an iPhone.
does it work on version 10.5.8 and it is a 2007 MacBook i think
Hi the download link doesent work anymore
btw does this requires the pc if i want to boot older ios? i'm currently having gsm 8 gig model
No, but with 8 gig moddle your phone is iphone 3,2 sp use Sundown on windows.
Yo, nice job.
Also, how is it going with the iOS 7 on iPod 4 project ? It's been a long time
It has been, indeed. I’ve simply not had the time or mental stamina to work on it. I hope to work on it more when I move out and don’t have to deal with so many responsibilities while I’m still living at home. :)

Hello, thanks for such a detailed instructions! However , there is a question : would it work on mavericks (10.9.5)?
As long as the tools in the video run on it, I don’t see why not. Guess that’ll just be a thing for you to try!

it works for iPhone 4s?
Is there a method of this for the ipod 4?
I...actually have no clue, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try the utility and see if it works with your device! I don't see why it wouldn't work.
@@MattsTech Okay!

Note: This tool relies on iOS 7.1.2 blobs (that's the whole reason why it's even possible to downgrade, iOS 7 has an exploit), so no it won't work on an iPod touch
link not wotkinh
i dont ahve hoem button its broken any alternative way even ios 6 will be ok for me
There are methods to put your iPhone into DFU mode without a home button using redsn0w. You’ll need an older Mac for this to work.
I can do this for IOS 6 ?

My iphone 4s is in boot loop and I can’t restore it because its home button is broken and i can’t go in the recovery mode any solution?
The iPhone 4S does not support this exploit. You can try using redsn0w though to make a DFU mode IPSW, and then restoring it that way.
Is there a way to change the boot logo back to the iOS 5/6 one?
From what I’ve seen, no, unfortunately.
Can I sync my music & movies on iPhone 4 after I downgrade? Also will I be able to install app on this firmware without jailbreaking?
Yes for the music and movies but most but not all apps will work, too can fix that by downloading on a it device with same Apple id then going into the purchases section of the IOS 4 phones stored and getting it from there.
Hi, is there any method to skip activation process? ( i have simlock or broken sim port)
Yes, actually, there are tools online to do this, one being called “Sliver,” which requires a Mac.
Maybe I should do a video on this. 🤔
Hi! Is this tethered or untethered?
Untethered!
is their a tool like this for the ipad 4?
No, unfortunately.
Coolbooter, dual Boot it, jailbrokon only but.
A method for windows please ?
Unfortunately, no such tool exists for Windows. :/
@@MattsTech it sucks, but I finally managed to downgrade iPhone 4 ios 7 back to ios 6 using Linux Mint on a USB
Oh boy the performance is way better and smoother
iOS 7 shouldn’t exist for iPhone 4g
I get an error 9 when restoring back to 7.1.2, help please

@@MattsTech Never mind, it finally worked after retrying few times
Will this work on iPad Mini 1? Cause i want ios 6.1.2 in it

No.

You can go to iOS 6 with 3u tools
Can i make this with a windows pc?
This requires a Mac, unfortunately.
