Downgrade Iphone 4s To Ios 5

Yes, if you:

No, if you:

  • Wait for iTunes to Restore iOS 5:

  • Setup Your iPhone:

    • Use a blob checker like shsh.host to verify your iOS 5.1.1 blobs are valid for your device.

    For most people, the easiest path to iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone 4s is CoolBooter + dual boot. It’s reversible, requires no blobs, and gives you the full OS experience minus cellular.

    If you saved those blobs a decade ago? Fire up iFaith and enjoy the smoothest iOS experience Apple ever made.
