I d/l iOS7 but when I click on iPhone5,1_7.0_11A4372q_Restore.ipsw, it opens Itunes and does nothing...how did you get it to actually install iOS7?
Go to itunes normally and click on your device you would like to put ios 7 on.
Hold down alt/option and click "restore". (Finder will open)
Then choose the iPhone5,1_7.0_11A4372q_Restore.ipsw file.
Once it restores, your iPhone/iPod will start up and you can activate it. Good Luck

Hi, I was having the same issue as yourself. Were you able to successfully downgrade back from iOS 7 to iOS 6?
Sorry, it's late and I realize that I duplicated the response above...good night to all.
thank you apple
It is clearly stated in the developer portal that downgrading back to iOS 6 is no longer possible after an upgrade to iOS 7 (firmware changes to the device etc..)
You are officially stuck with iOS 7.
correct there is no way to downgrade your device, it says it on the download description.
me too 😟
plug your phone into the computer hold the home buitton and lock button for ten seconds then take you hand off the lock button and keep your hand on thehome button till itunes reconizes it then it will let you downgraid]
