I shift downgraded to iOS 10.3.2 from beta 2 a few days ago, I don't really remember having any issue other than I think it may have hung on the Apple logo installation screen with the loading bar near full. I just turned it off with the power button and it came back on just fine on the "Press home to upgrade" screen back on iOS 10.
Got a tip for us?

My iPhone is currently restoring to beta 1. Fingers crossed

Yes, then I downgraded to iOS 10.3.2
[doublepost=1498352159][/doublepost]I am successfully back on iOS 10.3.2! Thanks everyone!
For those of you that successfully downgraded back to iOS 10, did you delete the "iOS Beta Software Profile" under [Settings > General > Profile] before downgrading from 11? Or did you not have to?
I didn't have to delete the profile, but I did sign out of iCloud
The same happened to me. I did as instructed: turned off find my iPhone, deleted the developer profile, preceded to put in recovery mode but neither the apple official firmware nor a web's page version worked (updating nor resetting) I took my iPhone 7 to an apple service bar and the couldn't do anything the even told me to com next week to send it to apple to se what se wrong, but probably change it for a new one with the guaranty. I'll se next week.

Exactly the same happened to me! How did you reinstalled the beta back? I think that's the only option.
[doublepost=1498357239][/doublepost]
Don't!it will get stuck in there. That happened to me.
[doublepost=1498358009][/doublepost]
Yes, extremely buggy everywhere.
[doublepost=1498358290][/doublepost]
Hey! Could you tell me if the found out about you having the beta? I think it cancels the guarantee.
[doublepost=1498358561][/doublepost]
You're right, but two questions: how do you know it's a bug and it will be fecied or where can I read about that? And what is tha DFU you are talking about?
im not a registered developer, but I got a hold of the iOS 11 beta 2 from a website, now my phone is stuck in the loop, can you help? if so send me an email we can talk that way no one can get my password if I give it to you

Yes, but how do go from the recovery mode back to the iOS 11 beta 2? Because I installed it through my phone ( no computer). Please help!
[doublepost=1498366910][/doublepost]I had this issue too. It’s a bug with iOS 11 beta 2 and will be fixed in beta 3. I already spoke to Apple about it.
That sounds great but how are we supposed to either go to beta 1, iOS 10 or beta 3 with the phone stuck in recovery mode?please help!
You're gonna need a computer, bro.
Dude...the wall that everyone hit was specifically when trying to restore to 10.3.2 while having iOS 11 beta 2 installed. you shouldn't have a prob restoring to iOS 11 beta as the phone is still detectable to iTunes when in recovery mode loop.....be sure to put it into DFU mode

THANK YOU! I couldn't find a downloadable IPSW link until your post. Was able to successfully downgrade same as you mention in your post ...

how did you reinstall ios 11 beta 2?
[doublepost=1498404482][/doublepost]The iOS Beta 2 is kind of like an onion with some layers. You have to go to Beta 1, then iOS 10.3.3, then finally to iOS 10.3.2 - the legit Apple See site has the IPSW files you need.
11b2 => 11b1 => 10.3.2 is working
Tested 2 times successfully.
Beta 10.3.3 is NOT needed.

Thea! Thanks a lot. I found a beta 1 ipsw and I'm going to restore it and ry to jump back to 10.3.2.
Sometimes is needed as I couldn't comeback to 10.3.2 without downgrading to 10.3.3 first then to 10.3.2
I was able to go directly from 11 beta 2 to 10.3.3 beta 4 to 10.3.2 without having to install 11 beta 1 first
(impatience can be a lifesaver sometimes, as that beta 1 download was taking ages)
I dunno about anyone else, but that worked for me at least - 7 Plus owner here.

I can also confirm this worked for me on my 6s, all were installed via dfu mode. Thanks guys!
