So stellen Sie eine iOS-Sicherung auf einer früheren Version von iOS wieder her
Wenn Sie feststellen, dass Sie ein Backup von einem Gerät mit einer neueren Version von iOS als dem Zielgerät wiederherstellen müssen, müssen Sie sich darüber im Klaren sein, dass das Wiederherstellen eines neueren Backups auf einem herabgestuften iOS-Gerät nicht ohne einige Verbesserungen möglich ist. Wenn Sie es ohne versuchen, wird folgende Meldung angezeigt:
iTunes konnte das iPhone "Renate's iPhone" nicht wiederherstellen, da das Backup beschädigt oder nicht mit dem wiederherzustellenden iPhone kompatibel war.
Welche Möglichkeiten haben Sie dann? Nun, es gibt zwei:
Patchen Sie Ihr Backup, um es mit dem früheren iOS kompatibel zu machen, oder
Ziehen Sie die benötigten Daten aus Ihrem iTunes- oder iCloud-Backup und importieren Sie sie
Wir beschreiben, wie die erste Technik im Folgenden beschrieben wird, und unser Leitfaden zur Wiederherstellung von Backups behandelt die zweite Technik.
So patchen Sie ein Downgrade einer iOS-Sicherungsversion
Das Patchen eines Backups für ein iOS-Downgrade ist ziemlich einfach, obwohl es nicht möglich ist, zwischen beliebigen Versionen zu wechseln. Wir haben die Versions-Downgrades hervorgehoben, die wir getestet haben und von denen wir wissen, dass sie im Folgenden funktionieren.
Schritt 1. Erstellen Sie eine Kopie Ihres iOS-Backups, bevor Sie es ändern.
Schritt 2. Öffnen Sie die Datei Info.plist im Stammverzeichnis Ihrer Sicherung.
Sie können diese Datei mit einem einfachen Texteditor öffnen.
Schritt 3. Suchen Sie nach der Product Version und finden Sie einen Abschnitt, der dem folgenden Text entspricht.
<key>Product Type</key> <string>iPhone10,6</string> <key>Product Version</key> <string>12.3.2</string> <key>Serial Number</key> <string>C8QH6T96DPNG</string>
Schritt 4. Ändern Sie den Wert für die Product Version und speichern Sie die Datei.
Zum Beispiel von 12.1.3 auf 12.1 oder 12.0 und speichern Sie die Datei.
Von welchen Backup-Versionen kann ein Downgrade durchgeführt werden?
Es kann sein, dass andere Versions-Downgrades funktionieren, aber wir haben diese getestet und bestätigt. Diese Technik beruht darauf, dass sich einige Versionen kaum vom zugrunde liegenden Speicherformat unterscheiden. Wenn Sie mit anderen Versionen erfolgreich sind, teilen Sie dies unseren Lesern in den Kommentaren unten mit.

As for Oct 22 It works for iOS 17.03 > 17.0.2 on a iPhone XS Max however you need to change the Product Version value as well on the Manifest.plist file located in the root folder of your backup.

von Gil Skink
It worked to change IOS 12.5.5 to 12.2, though there was a slight glitch. After the backup was completed from my 5s with the 12.5.5 to my erased 6s with the 12.2, iTunes SAID it could not sync to the new phone. But when I checked the 6s phone it was fine! Everything's there, far as I can tell. Great article, really helpful! Awesome solution, thanks!

Thanks!! Worked for 14.4.1 on SE to 12.5.1 on 6
von Lisa
It was a backup from an iPhone SE 14.4.1 to an iPhone 5s 12.5.1
Thank you so much for this. I'd like to say it worked like a charm, but it did not at first :D
After several tries, the very thoughtful message from itunes that it did not work because it does not work and a little mental breakdown I did get it done!
Maybe helpful for some and quite logical for everyone else:
It worked nearly perfectly after I set back the 5s to factory settings and put in the SIM card before trying to do the backup again. And voila it worked.
Some stuff is missing but I'll figure that out! Thank you so much for this very helpful article! I hope Karma is good to you in return!!!

The backup worked from an iPhone SE first generation (iOs 13.5.1) to an old iPhone 6 (iOs 12.5.1). The only issue was with three newer apps that are not supported with the previous iOs and were not installed.

Worked on with iphone SE (first gen) 14.2 --> iphone SE (first gen) 13.6, except for sms/imessages. Those were subsequently recovered by turning on icloud on both devices, turning sync messages to on, and giving the devices time to sync/download the messages (this takes several hours).
Thank you!!

OS on the 5se was 13.5 The 5s only goes up to 12.4.7 I Tunes or I Cloud wouldn't restore the backup. Called Apple support, and they didn't have a clue. Thanks again. Really worked.

I'm trying to restore my backup from iphone 7plus(iOS 13.3.1) to iPhone 8(iOS 13.4.1). I was getting the error message while progressing the restoring process. The message is 'iTunes could not restore the iPhone "iPhone" because the backup was corrupt.'
I changed the Product Version in the Info.plist file in the root folder to 13.4.1 from 13.3.1. But still the same error popping up!
Please help me to get my backup :(

Hi Sreekanth. Changing the version like this won't help if the backup is corrupt. We've got a guide for fixing corrupt backups here. If you get stuck, drop us a note!
