Back to iOS 5.0 from iOS 5.0.1

tula82 · Jan 23, 2012

Hi, I have updated from iOS 5.0 to iOS 5.0.1. Does anyone know how to go back to iOS 5.0. It's my understanding that it's better to be on iOS 5.0 (waiting on unlock for iphone 4S)

It doesn't make any sense to go back to 5.0 at all. Plus all the bugs and battery problems were fixed with 5.0.1.

The link below is a tutorial for jailbreaking an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.0.1. There is no need to downgrade, you can jailbreak iOS 5.0.1.

I did the jailbreak just fine, but I need to unlock and I've read that it's better to have 5.0 when it comes out, if it does.

Nope, there's no difference between iOS 5 and 5.0.1 when it comes to unlocking.

Musclenerd originally said that those wanting to get a baseband unlock should remain on 5.0, but the baseband vulnerability still exists on 5.0.1, so it is unnecessary. The ultrasn0w baseband unlock for 5.0 and 5.0.1 should be released soon.
