Step 2: If you haven’t yet, create a backup your iOS device either using iCloud or by using iTunes.

Step 3: Plug your iOS device to your PC or Mac, launch iTunes, hold down the left SHIFT key on PC (or the OPTION key on Mac) and click on the “Restore iPhone” button. Select the iOS 8.1.2 firmware file you downloaded in Step 1. now you can take a ten minute break, grab something to drink, and let iTunes do the rest.

In about ten to fifteen minutes you’ll be back to iOS 8.1.2, ready to jailbreak your device using TaiG.

Note:  Once Apple stops signing the iOS 8.1.2 firmware, you won’t be able to downgrade back from iOS 8.1.3. So hurry up. Apple might be closing the signing window anytime.
