Downgrade iOS 8 to iOS 7.1.2

“How to go back to ios 7.1? iOS 8 has been released by Apple. All who want to download/install new iOS 8 with new features can make it from here.”

Step 1: Turn the device off, connect it to the computer via USB, and launch your last version iTunes

Step 2:  Place the iOS 8 device into DFU mode: with the device off, hold down the Power and Home buttons together for 10 seconds then release the power button, continue holding Home button until iTunes notifies you of a device in recovery mode being detected. The devices screen should stay black as if turned off.

Step 3: Restore within iTunes through either method a or b:

a) Restore from the iOS 7.1.2 backup you made prior to installing iOS 8 beta

b) Restore to iOS 7.1.2 IPSW by Option-Clicking the “Restore” button, and then restore from iCloud backup when finished

Step 4: Let iTunes restore back to iOS 7.1.2, the device will reboot when finished!!!

Updated. The way is closed. You cannot. There is now way to go back. 🙁
