i wanted to reset my iphone 4s or either downgrade, is it possible to downgrade?
if not i want to reset it to factory setting without updating it to new version. i know that to restore that is to reset it in iphone, setting>general>reset.
my problem is once i erase it all, it always stuck on a circular motion for 10hours. i patiently wait. but nothing happens. can someone help me?


thanks . . .

1. You cannot EVER reset the phone that way when jailbroken. It leads to horrible things, including DFU mode.

2. You cannot downgrade a 4S.

What are you trying to do? Erase the contents to sell it? The easiest way to do that on jailbroken phone is to sync it to a blank itunes account. Make a new account on your computer, open itunes, make sure it's empty and sync. That will erase the data.

when my iphone was in ios 5.1.1 i did restore it even with jailbreak.

no, i have no plans on selling it, i just wanted to restore it, there is so many bug apps in my phone.

i cannot downgrade it for now? is there a possibility of downgrade soon?

Did you not read this post I've quoted. You cannot reset from phone if jailbroken it does not work and cannot downgrade at all on 4s/5

Only option is to sync an empty iTunes account as mention above.
