Under the iPhone Restore, did you choose "Erase all Content and Settings" ?

You need to be sure the phone is backed up before doing this.

yes i chose erase all content and settings but it went back to ios 8......

i didnt do a backup but i am supposed to have a backuop at home

my main thing i want is ios 7 and not ios8
You may not be able to go back. I am not certain. I restored my own phone (for another issue) and IOS stayed at 7 where the original was 5 (I think).

I suggest you take the machine to the local Apple store (make an appointment). They may be able to do it with their tools.
i think with beta you supposed to be able to go back cause it is not officially release yet

hmmmmm
In any OS beta I have seen, vendors say "only install on test machine, because you cannot go back". That may or may not apply to Apple IOS, but that is why I suggest heading to the genius shop.
