1. Follow this tutorial or another one similar to it.
2. Have a expensive ass paper weight.
Now I don't know about you but I would rather go with number one. :black: Ok now lets get started.
Step 1: Place your iPhone running iOS 5 into DFU mode. You can watch the following video to learn how to do so if you’re not sure.
How to put your iPhone into DFU mode
Step 2: Restore your iPhone to iOS 4.3.3 (Apple is still signing this firmware as of this writing of course, because it is the latest firmware). iTunes (10.3) should automatically recognize that your device is in DFU Mode, and will bring up the options to restore.

You can click restore and update in this instance, because iOS 4.3.3 is the latest publicly available firmware. Note: This will of course change if Apple releases an iOS 4.3.4+ so keep that in mind. In that case, you do not want to update, especially if there is no available jailbreak. If you’ve already previously downloaded iOS 4.3.3, it should start extracting the software and restoring your iPhone with no problem.
Note: If you get a error towards the end of the restore continue on, if you do not get an error towards the the end of the restore process it is optional to continue on.
Step 3: Once you get near the very end of the restore, you will likely receive an iTunes error (1) recovery loop dialogue error. This can be disheartening to receive this over and over. Don’t fret though, we have a fix, and it’s called RedSn0w.
Step 4: Download the latest version of RedSn0w [Mac] from the Dev Team’s Blog, and extract the contents on your desktop. Now simply use the following video tutorial to run RedSn0w on your device. It’s a good idea to go ahead and put your iPhone back into DFU mode before proceeding.

Step 5: The only problem you might encounter with running RedSn0w is it freezing up on the “Installing Activation Bundles” screen. If you wait more than five minutes, and it’s still frozen, simply follow this tutorial to fix it using TinyUmbrella to exit the recovery loop.

So folks, that’s it! That’s how you downgrade iOS 5 back to iOS 4.3.3. I hope that this tutorial was helpful for you and that it was easy to follow along.
