I just got my replacement and them being so smart, updated my phone to iOS 7.1
So now, I downloaded the 7.0.4 File, but Everytime I try to restore it says the firmware is not compatible with my device.
I've downloaded the CDMA and GSM files, my device is an A1530 which is a gsm, but it still doesn't work. So this means I have no jailbreak😭
any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!

Once you've been pushed into 7.1, there is unfortunately no way to go to a previous release. Hopefully someone will come out with a JB for 7.1.

If not, then one for iOS 8 when it's released.

I'm sorry to hear you had to get a replacement. =[

As Septemberain noted, only A4 devices or lower can downgrade. You are stuck on 7.1 my friend

I told them not to downgrade and they said they won't but oh well. But I read we could put it in DFU mode and downgrade? But I tried and it still have me that error...

you can't DFU and downgrade from 7.1

you'll have to just wait it out or get another replacement. they can send you the phone instead of going into the store, that way no one will mess with it.

they will also not update the iOS software, if you just take the phone and go. you don't need to have them do anything but make sure it will activate

I've noticed, iOS 7.1 has a horrible battery drain on the 5s, i'm going to try to get it replaced with an older iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0.6, lets hope thats possible.
