How to downgrade iOS 9.1 to iOS 9.0.2 on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

Apple has just released the most awaited iOS 9.1 update with a spate of bug-fixes and performance improvements along with a couple of patches for exploits used in the Pangu jailbreak for iOS 9-9.0.2. Consequently, it is no longer possible to jailbreak iOS 9.1. But, you can jailbreak iOS 9 through iOS 9.0.2, using the latest Pangu jailbreak (v1.1.0).

It is uncertain if Apple has patched up these vulnerabilities in their beta release, or whether it found them after the iOS 9 jailbreak release from Pangu. Nevertheless, prospective iOS 9 jailbreakers can go ahead and downgrade iOS 9.1 to iOS 9.0.2 (if they have accidentally updated it), using the step-by-step guide posted below.

Note: Back up important data and settings on the iOS device, before you proceed to avoid unexpected data loss during the downgrade process.

Steps to downgrade iOS 9.1 to iOS 9.0.2

Step 1: Download iOS 9.0.2 firmware for your device from the links given above.

Step 2: Launch iTunes from the dock on your iOS device

Step 3: Boot your device into DFU mode as follows:

• Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
• Wait for 10 seconds, before you release the Sleep/Wake button. But, continue holding the Home button until your device gets detected via recovery mode in iTunes. Then click on the OK button.

Step 4: Press and hold the Alt/Option key (Shift in Windows) and then hit the Restore iPhone/iPad button.

Step 5: Choose the firmware file you downloaded earlier from the pop-up window and click the Open button. Click Restore and update button once again to confirm or continue with the restoration process.

Step 6: Click the Next button, followed by the Agree button and let iTunes go through the restore/downgrade process. The entire process would last for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 7: Once the restoration completes, your iOS device will be running the previous version of iOS 9 or iOS 9.0.2 and you should see the white Hello screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to setup the device for first use, and then restore all your important data from the backup, you saved earlier.
