Can you help me to downgrade back to iOS 8.1?

iMore Question

I need help. Yesterday I downgraded my phone and jailbroke it successfully. I dowloaded a tweak that left me in an infinite apple logo loop, so I had to restore it. When I tried restoring back to iOS 8.1 iTunes told me the iPhone 6 Plus could not be updated because the software isn't compatible. So I resotred it to iOS 8.1.1 so I could use my phone. I am now trying to downgrade again (Apple is still sgning iOS 8.1) but I keep getting the same message. I have tried on a different Mac, that is too on iTunes 12.0.1 but I got the same message. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this? I dont wanna miss the 8.1 signing window.

Re: iOS 8.1 Downgrade

Have you tried downloading the .ipsw file for iOS 8.1 and then installing it via iTunes?

That's exactly what I have been trying to do. I have downloaded the file and tried downgrading.
