Cómo restaurar una copia de seguridad de iOS a una versión anterior de iOS
Si necesita restaurar una copia de seguridad desde un dispositivo con una versión más nueva de iOS que el dispositivo de destino, deberá tener en cuenta que restaurar una copia de seguridad más reciente en un dispositivo iOS degradado no es posible sin algunos ajustes. Si lo intentas sin, verás este mensaje:
iTunes no pudo restaurar el iPhone "iPhone de Renate" porque la copia de seguridad estaba dañada o no era compatible con el iPhone que se está restaurando.
¿Cuáles son tus opciones, entonces? Bueno, hay dos:
Parche su copia de seguridad para que sea compatible con el iOS anterior, o
Extraiga los datos que necesita de su copia de seguridad de iTunes o iCloud e impórtelos
Describimos cómo la primera técnica a continuación, y nuestra guía sobre recuperación de respaldo cubre la segunda técnica.
Cómo parchear una versión anterior de una copia de seguridad de iOS
Parchear una copia de seguridad para una degradación de iOS es bastante sencillo, aunque no es posible moverse entre cualquier versión. Hemos resaltado las versiones anteriores que hemos probado y sabemos que funcionan a continuación.
Paso 1. Tome una copia de su copia de seguridad de iOS antes de modificarla.
Paso 2. Abra el archivo Info.plist en la carpeta raíz de su copia de seguridad.
Puede abrir este archivo con cualquier editor de texto simple.
Paso 3. Busque la Product Version y encontrará una sección similar al texto a continuación.
<key>Product Type</key> <string>iPhone10,6</string> <key>Product Version</key> <string>12.3.2</string> <key>Serial Number</key> <string>C8QH6T96DPNG</string>
Etapa 4. Cambie el valor de la Product Version del Product Version y guarde el archivo.
Por ejemplo, de 12.1.3 a 12.1 o 12.0 y guarde el archivo.
¿Desde qué versiones de copia de seguridad es posible degradar?
Puede ser que otras versiones de versiones anteriores funcionen, pero estas son las que hemos probado y confirmado que funcionan. Esta técnica se basa en que hay pocas diferencias con el formato de almacenamiento subyacente entre algunas versiones. Si tiene éxito con otras versiones, informe a nuestros lectores en los comentarios a continuación.

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.

por 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
por 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!!

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!
