If you have, and it's still having problems, then there might be something else at play, because it reverted just fine when I tried it myself. I believe my friend is still running 4.3.3. I could try to reproduce your issue if you'd like. | |

When I changed back the version to 4.3.3 I still get the same grey screen so effectively my App Store (and iTunes) are broken. | |

| Feb 14, 2012 at 4:14 | comment | added | Andrew Larsson | I just tried it on my friend's iPod running 4.3.3 and spoofed to iOS 5.0.1, and all the normal apps worked, and the AppStore let me download iOS5-only apps, but those apps crashed. We didn't want to ruin his Netflix app, so we tried on Find My Friends and a random app that required iOS5. They both installed just fine, but crashed upon opening them. I wouldn't recommend doing this, but I hope this answers your question to your satisfaction. | |
