I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

Downgrading isn't possible. iTunes won't install iOS versions older than the latest compatible release, and if one's somehow installed anyway, Apple's servers won't activate the device afterwards.

You don't. Apple provides no downgrade path for iOS software for a variety of reasons.

Sorry,

And if you JB your device and you run into trouble (which happens a lot), we can't help you and Apple will not provide any support to you either. Maybe just get used to the new OS. I've grown quite accustomed to it and I like it. Give it some time.
