Can't downgrade from 11 beta 2 to 10.3.2

Don't any of you people read Apple's warning before installing? It clearly states that you may not be able to downgrade once you have installed the Developer beta. It should be no surprise that this kind of thing is happening.

If you need your device for real time use, don't install Develpper betas unless you are willing to pay the consequences.

Meh, if it looks like Terms and Conditions, I don't read it. Plus, we figured it out so no harm done.

Apple makes it clear with their Developer software agreement, that it isn't to be installed on a daily use device. Apple also states that once installed, you may not be able to downgrade. And finally, Apple states that unforeseen events can happen to the device(s) the beta is installed on, including actual damage to the devices (including making it unusable).

Many here are getting a hold of the beta profile and blinding going through the install process without considering the consequences.

Apple is under no legal obligation to fix any software or hardware problems that may arise from installing the Developer betas.

Yeah but most ppl want to be the cool kid on the block and have the latest iOS before anyone they know. That’s where the problem is.
 
I'm having same issues. I can't downgrade. I was able to downgrade my iPad Air 2 because there was a few bugs that was a bit annoying. On my iPhone I can't downgrade it gets stuck in that iTunes restore screen. I tried updating and restoring and still stuck.
The new iOS 11 beta 2 gave me problems with the App Store and instagram. I don't know what to do at this point. I can't even use my phone.
[doublepost=1498165751][/doublepost]I also notice there are a couple of ways to downgrade. Turn off your "find my iPhone" and then there's also one where you do the same turn off "find my iPhone" and delete the profile.

First thing, download the iOS 11 Beta 2 IPSW and restore to that. This allows you to at least use your phone. Then, download the iOS 11 Beta 1 IPSW. Restore to Beta 1. Put your phone into DFU mode and restore to 10.3.2. That's how I did and I'm back to 10.3.2!

Omg, get over yourself. People are excited for iOS 11. They are playing around.

While i agree that people should not get mad at Apple if they encounter problems, you are acting like a jerk.

Gonna give this way a try. I'm going to go back to 11.0 beta 2, then 11.0 beta one, then go to DFU and restore 10.3. I hope this works because I really don't want to stay on 11.0. it was fun for a week but that battery drain and some of the apps not working correctly was bugging me. I guess I'll wait for the full release of the public beta comes out.

Apple will not have a problem if you are an "official" member of the developer program or not. They will care if it was running beta software so they have an idea of the root of the problem but they can't deny service. I doubt if they would but if they were to question you about how you got on the program, you could tell them your buddy has an account and he hooked you up. I speak from experience on this one. A couple years ago when Watch OS 2 was released I updated the watch and immediately regretted it. Tried to get Apple to restore it back to 1... in store and they couldn't. Had to send in the watch and have them wipe it. Ultimately, they did it for me and never asked whose dev account I was using.
 
I'm gonna call them once ios 11 is back on i hope it's beta 2
[doublepost=1498174020][/doublepost]i tried it in my car and the carplay was ok but it had minor crashed and gps took forever
 
I have another problem, after did the procedure, it block on the bar when it finished the installation and restarts the device. How can I fix it?

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.

[doublepost=1498176684][/doublepost]SOLVED!

I also had the same problem downgrading to 10.3.2 from iOS 11 beta 2. However, I figured out a workaround. I was able to find a .ipsw file for the first beta and was able to reinstall iOS 11 beta 1. From there, I was then able to successfully downgrade to 10.3.2.

Good luck!

Ive tried, didnt work. did you do it from dfu?
 
This DFU is really killing me. The minute I hold the power button for 3 seconds the apple logo pops up. then I press the volume down for 10 seconds the screen turns black and I count 5 seconds and let go, after 2 seconds the apple logo pops up and takes me back to the homescreen

No, I didn't need do it from DFU. Once beta 1 was reinstalled, I option-clicked on the Restore button and chose the 10.3.2 ipsw.

This beta one is taking a very long time to download. What build number is it?
