Q: Downgrade to IOS 9.3.2

Hello. When I first purchased the IPhone 5c about a year ago, I made a backup of the phones files. When you make a backup of a phone, you would expect that it would contain any firmware as well so that it can do a complete restore.

Well, apparently it doesn't do that.

I wanted to restore the phone back to IOS 9.3.2, because IOS 10.0.2 doesn't work to my satisfaction. None of the sounds work the way they are supposed to, so now every time the phone does make a noise, I have to check it to see what it means or wants.

Quite frankly, with this update the thing has all the personality of a brick. I want the old IOS version back but I can't get it with any of the backups.

I did some digging for an old IOS 9.3.2 file, and actually found one, but the phone refuses to update to that version.

 

I WANT IOS 9.3.2, or a FIXED version of 10.0.2 that actually allows me to use the sounds I WANT. Not what is dictated to me by firm phone settings that you can't change. Anything less is not acceptable.

iPhone 5c, iOS 10.0.2

    Not sure to whom you think you're addressing, but Apple is NOT here.  We're users like you.

     

    Downgrading the iOS is not now, and has never been supported.

     

    Perhaps if you gave us something more than "10.0.2 doesn't work to my satisfaction" we could help you.

     

    Best,

    Well it makes no sense to not be able to talk to support here, but I digress.

    As I stated in the original post, the IOS version is not working to my satisfaction. It will not use the sounds THAT I WANT. It overrides that and uses what IT wants which is the same sound for everything.
