Go to this site: https://ipsw.me/.

Select your device as well as desired iOS version.

Plug your device to your computer and open up iTunes.

Hold shift and click on 'Restore'.

Select your downloaded iOS version.

*Keep in mind that you can only downgrade to an iOS version if Apple is still signing it. Unfortunately, iOS 6 is not being signed anymore, which means you can't downgrade to that version.

You can't downgrade to iOS 6. You can only downgrade to iOS 8.4 while it's still being signed.

@Alex sooo what do I do? I'm fucked?

You can't downgrade to iOS 6.1.3 since Apple isn't signing it anymore.

The latest iOS you can downgrade to is iOS 8.4. If you can find a jailbreaking software that supports iOS 8.4, then go ahead.

Why would you want to downgrade to iOS 6? You can jailbreak 8.4 too.

🤨 I didn't know that, I'm on 8.4 now how would I jailbreak? I looked it up and found something about "TaiG" but no official website.
