Question

I have OS6 . . .

by Sep 27, 2012 4:21AM PDT

On my iPhone 3GS and I hate it!

Like most people I hate the Map. And the other "stuff" included in the Six are not needed. Sooooo, I wanted to roll it back to the previous OS. I went here:

www.ehow.com/how_7319590_restore-iphone-older-firmware.html

I downloaded the firmware and proceeded to try it. But step 3 didn't work. I held the home button for a 10 count, a 20 count, a 30 count and never got the yellow triangle or the message.

Is there another way to roll back the OS?

Interesting, but . . .

That's all about jailbreaking. Didn't tell how to roll back. Unless my old mind missed it.
