If I restore my iPhone via iTunes, does it erase the firmware too? Will my current firmware version(v5.1.1) remain untouched if I choose to restore my iPhone using iTunes?
As stated above, I simply want to know if using the 'restore' function via iTunes on my iPhone will kill off the current firmware version I have. That or whether it will force me to take the latest update, which would be a royal pain given my connection.
And in case anyone is wondering, the iPhone is still mine, I don't intend to sell it or anything so the "erase and reset" feature is not what I need. I simply want to erase all data on my iPhone, while conserving its firmware - are there any alternatives for this?
