Can't downgrade from 11 beta 2 to 10.3.2

So they must think the downgrading issue doesn’t exist on all devices? It did on a 6s+ I worked on yet no update.

That literally does not change the fact that when I click on the link, I get exactly what I posted in the screenshots above. Its not that I don't believe the poster, its the fact that he insinuated I did not read before posting. What happens when you click the link? April 11th or June 26th.

Still April 11th for me. Even when clicking the link through 9to5mac. So clearly something on Apple's side is not up to date for the entire world.

I see it as published June 26. With a note saying "1. While you can switch from iOS 11 beta back to iOS 10, you can't switch back to iOS 10.3.2."

Well it's not our problem that your browser displays something else. You know now that in order to downgrade to iOS 10, you need to revert to 10.3.3. It doesn't matter where you first read it.

Its not my problem either that its not updating properly. Whats your deal? You can clearly see what my end is showing me. Why would I possibly make this up? Thats just stupid and a waste of everyone's time.

But multiple people in here have gone from iOS 11B2 to 10.3.2, so that doesn't make much sense.

I have checked my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air, iMac, and two different browsers on my MBA. All show the April 11th date. I have even deletes all cache/cookies. Clearly its an Apple issue, not a me issue.

Yes - 6 or 7 times using two different computers under DFU mode. Using the same process, I am able to install iOS 11 beta 2 via ipsw, but unable to repeat the process with the 10.3.2 ipsw.

I am stuck in recovery mode. Can you tell me how to install iOS 11 beta 2 again so that I am able to use my phone atleast?

You cannot downgrade from iOS 11 to iOS 10.3.2 anymore. Apple says you have to go to iOS 10.3.3 Beta if you wish to downgrade from iOS 11. In order to get iOS 11 Beta 2, log into the developer portal with your Apple Dev Account and download the ispw. Then hold the option key while clicking the restore button.

There is a massive flaw with this. PB users do not have access to .ipsw for 10.3.3. Therefore, they are screwed.

And yet, this support article is still showing the April 11th version. I honestly don't know why its not being updated for me. I have now checked 9 different devices. Clearly there is an issue with the support page.

There is no way I am the only one having issues with this website.
 
Hey, I had this same issue 3 days ago. Tried restoring on DFU, recovery, downloaded the ipsw pretty much everything. I could only flash the iOS 11 beta IPSW and get my 6s+ running. Went to the Apple Store since my phone is 2 weeks old. The guy tried the same steps, came back after 20 minutes and said they were going to replace the phone. Got a new phone 2 weeks after buying the original lol. I was planning on staying on iOS 10 till end of July when I thought the public beta would come out but it came out today lol so I might be upgrading again..

Doesn't matter. It worked for me
 
I just did it right before your post and it worked like a charm :

METHOD: PB > 10.3.3 (DFU)
10.3.3 > 10.3.2 (Normal Recovery)
 
--I copied this from my original thread--

YOU WILL HAVE TO RESTORE YOUR DEVICE! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ICLOUD BACKUP.

Q) Why can't I just skip installing iOS 10.3.3, and just go straight to iOS 10.3.2?

A) iOS 11 PB/Beta 2 won't downgrade to iOS 10.3.2 without failing, making you either have to restore your phone back to iOS 11 PB/Beta 2, or "update" it to iOS 11 PB/Beta 2, so you cannot downgrade unless you downgrade to iOS 10.3.3, then iOS 10.3.2.

----Downloads----

iPhone 7:
iOS 10.3.3 IPSW download (click this)
iOS 10.3.2 IPSW download (click this)

iPhone 7+:
iOS 10.3.3 IPSW download (click this)
iOS 10.3.2 IPSW download (click this)

All other iDevices:
iOS 10.3.3 IPSW downloads (click this)
iOS 10.3.2 IPSW downloads (click this)

----Instructions----

Step 1) Download the iOS 10.3.3 IPSW, as well as the iOS 10.3.2 IPSW for your phone.
Step 2) Launch iTunes.
Step 3) Plug your phone into your computer.
Step 4) On the top left, you should see an iPhone icon, click on it.
Step 5) Windows method: Hold shift and select restore iPhone. Mac method: Hold command and select restore iPhone
Step 6) Select the iOS 10.3.3 IPSW download, and start the restore process.
Step 7) Once the restore is finished, repeat step 4 and 5.
Step 8) Now, select the iOS 10.3.2 download, and start the restore process.

You're done. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

I am experiencing the same issue, but my reason for downgrading is completely different. I upgraded to Beta 2 from the latest iOS 10, and had a very peculiar bug that prevented me from fully activating my 10.5 inch iPad Pro. As soon as I upgraded, I noticed the new iOS dock appearing on the setup screen. I managed to configure it with little issue the until the Analytics screen , where the dock obscured the Accept button. I was stuck, was unable to complete my setup. I couldn't rotate the screen since it was locked and I couldn't access the control panel. No matter how hard I tried, I was unable to get past the analytics screen.

After an hour or so, I decided to try and downgrade only to face the issue that the op and a few others are experiencing. This is it. I will never again install a beta. Since I live overseas, my only options is to wait a few weeks for a solution from apple, maybe trying DFU using a newer beta OR send my new iPad to Apple uncertain that the situation is going to be solved. Cautionary tale here folks.

I just had the same problem where the dock was obscuring the Continue button. I fixed this by rotating the iPad a few times quickly while holding the dock in place. Hope it works for you. The key is to reveal the Continue button.
 
Using a 7 Plus and im stuck in the recovery loop. Tried restoring from an IPSW but still doesnt work. My issue is that i cant get in to DFU mode whilst in recovery mode. If i try to power off the device whilst in recovery it just automatically turns on again. How do i resolve this?
 
I fixed it!

If you were previously on ios 10 beta you have to restore back to that, which was 10.3.3, which isnt a public release yet. So apple provided me with a 10.3.3 IPSW

I updated to iOS 11 beta 2 today from iOS 10.3.2 on an 10.5 iPad Pro. When I go to downgrade to 10.3.2, I get stuck in recovery mode. That is, everything installs fine, the firmware is verified by iTunes, the iPad restarts, the white Apple logo flashes, but then it quickly goes to recovery mode with the lightening cable and iTunes logo.

I was able reinstall iOS 11 beta 2 and boot up. When I went to downgrade again, same recovery mode loop.

Anyone else have this issue? I want to get back to 10.3.2, but can't seem to do so.

I had the same problem… the solution that I found:

1- Download the iOS Beta 2 IPSW from this link: http://www.ipodhacks142.com/downloa...w-direct-download-links-over-the-air-profile/
2- Restore from iTunes: Option (⌥)-click the Restore button (Shift-click for PC users), select iOS 11 IPSW file… and wait. At this point your iPhone or iPad is restored and working (on iOS 11 again).

If you want to downgrade to iOS 10.3.2 follow the instructions bellow:

1-Download the 10.3.2 IPSW file that corresponds to your iOS device from: http://www.iphonehacks.com/download-iphone-ios-firmware
2- Restart in recovery mode.
3- Press CANCEL in the window that appears when you connect your device on recovery mode.
4- Option (⌥)-click the update button DON'T press restore DON'T press restore DON'T press restore.
5- select iOS 10 IPSW file… and wait.

I hope it works for you as it worked for me
 
I had no issue downgrading.

On Win10 with iTunes. Put iPhone6 in dfu, and clicked restore. Back to 10.3.2.

Same process as always.
