Downgrading ios 8

[jaleelhamid]

If I decide to downgrade from ios 8 back to ios 7.1.1 will I be able to back up my info or no?

Yes. Just make sure you've got a 7.1.1 back up before moving to iOS 8. So you can go back if needed.

All you'd have to do is get the device into DFU mode. Then plug it into iTunes and it'll restore to the most current firmware which would be 7.1.1.

Keep in mind it'll erase everything.

Any backup made on iOS 8 cannot be restored on 7.1.1. So like September mentioned, make sure you have a backup from 7.1.1 at least.

So your 32GB phone hasn't had at least an icloud backup since April?
