Ok, so i made the most idiotic mistake of upgrading to the latest firmware on my Iphone 5. I was running on 7.1.2. But now i'm on 10.2. Fack!
My friend currently has a working Iphone 5 with the firmware 7.1.2.
If MY FRIEND backs up his phone now that's currently on 7.1.2 on my laptop... and if I restore my Iphone using MY FRIEND's 7.1.2 back up... will i somehow magically be back on 7.1.2 and avoid the new BS update???
