How can I downgrade from iOS6.0 on my iPod Touch?

landon

I upgraded from 5.1.1 to 6.0 a few months ago, and my iPod Touch just has not been as stable with all apps as it was before the upgrade. Is it possible to switch back to 5.1.1? I can't seem to figure out a way to do it.

There is no way to go back to the previous ios. Try to do a hard reset to refresh the system. I had this issue before. I jailbrek my phone and issues got resolve. Got the jailbreak guide here at WWW.JAILBREAKHOME.COM

How To Downgrade iOS 6.0.1 To iOS 5.1.1 [Tutorial]
http://www.redmondpie.com/downgrade-ios-6.0.1-to-5.1.1-how-to-tutorial/

"With every new revision of iOS, the firmware modding folk are always waiting to pounce, sourcing ways we can potentially jailbreak, unlock and downgrade our devices. With the release of iOS 6.0.1, the mindset is no different, and while there’s real big news on the jailbreaking front, those of you wishing to revert from the latest iOS 6.0.1 back to iOS 5.1.1 can do so with relative ease.

Of course, there are a couple of prerequisites. First and foremost, this only works on A4-enabled devices. So if you have an iPhone 4 or earlier, or iPod touch 4G or earlier, you can revert back to the older firmware. In addition to the hardware requirements, you must also have saved your SHSH blobs for the firmware you’re wishing to slip back to.

This guide is useful for those who want to get an untethered jailbreak on their A4 based devices, as both jailbreak iOS 6 and jailbreak 6.0.1 are currently limited to tethered boot.

The following tutorial works for both Windows and Mac, and uses the every jailbreaker’s necessity in Redsn0w."

Sorry, but as far as I know, there is no way to go back. I looked around Apple Support Communities, and that seemed to be the consensus there as well.
