For firmware upgrades for instance, there is a huge chance of getting better functionality if you upgrade your current OS. If you get tired of the one that you have now and would like to downgrade to have simpler functions, then you can also do it. But this is not possible without getting into DFU (Device Firmware Update). You first need to get your phone in this mode to make the change work. The bigger challenge though will be on how you can get out of DFU mode. Here're the solutions for you.

Method 1. Root your Device
Hold down the HOME and POWER button of your iPhone while still connected to iTunes until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Hit the POWER button to reboot the device.
This does the trick to a lot of people. After the device reboots, your phone should be back to its normal functions.
