We have divided this iPhone, iPad or iPod touch software downgrade tutorial into two parts, the first part is for non-A5 Apple devices like (iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 1, iPod Touch 4G, 3G), the second part is for A5 Apple devices like (iPad 2 and iPhone 4S).

iOS 5.1 Software Downgrade for Non-A5 Devices (iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 1, iPod touch 4G, 3G):

• Downgrade from iOS 5.1 to 5.0.1 / 5.0 can only be held via custom firmware only.
• Downgrade from iOS 5.1 to 4.3.5 / 4.3.4 / 4.3.3 / 4.x can be held via stock firmware.
• You MUST have saved SHSH blobs for the firmware you downgrading to.

iOS 5.1 Software Downgrade for A5 Devices (iPhone 4S / iPad 2):

• iPhone 4S can’t be downgraded from 5.1 to 5.0.1 / 5.0 even you have the save SHSH blobs for them, here’s what iPhone Dev-team said in their blog:

If you have an iPhone 4S, the basic rule above is really the only rule:  you cannot restore back to 5.0.1 once the 5.0.1 signing window is closed, no matter what (even if you saved your SHSH blobs).

• iPad 2 can’t be downgraded from 5.1 to 5.0.1 / 5.0 even you have saved SHSH blobs for them. iPad 2 users can only downgrade from 5.1 to 4.x (4.3.5, 4.3.4, 4.3.3 … etc) in case you have saved SHSH blobs for the firmware you downgrading to.

If you have an iPad2 with saved 4.x hashes, you can in fact downgrade to that 4.x but you won’t be able to get to 5.0.1 once the 5.0.1 signing window is closed (even if you saved your 5.0.1 SHSH blobs).

For Windows Users:
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ and locate the file named as “hosts”.

Mac users can access the “hosts” file by navigating to “/etc/” folder, which can be found through Go > Go to Folder from within Finder.

If you’re on Windows, then open the “hosts” file in Notepad. If on a Mac, then open the “hosts” file in TextEdit, and add the following line at the end:

Step 3: Launch iTunes, the select your devices from the left sidebar, then Hold down Shift (Win) or Alt (OS X), click Restore then refer iTunes to iOS 4.3.3 / 4.3.5 / 4.0.0 (Firmware you gonna downgrade to)
Step 4: In some cases, iTunes will throw 1013 error, ignore it, its perfectly normal when downgrading. At this point, your device will be in Recovery Mode with your desired version of iOS fully installed.
Step 5: You should see a screen like this (recovery mode loop). Simply open TinyUmbrella to kick your device out of recovery mode. Congratulations!!.
