It’s well documented that once on 17.1 beta you can’t downgrade. Just stay on the beta until 17.1 is released to public in a few weeks.
Got a tip for us?

Now looking at Tuesday 10/10 for Beta 3 so not very long to wait.
Should be fixed by the next beta 3. iOS 17.0.3 was released Oct 4th. iOS 17.1 beta 2 was released Oct 3rd, but its code is somewhat older than a rushed patch.

I’m not saying I don’t believe you, but I’m wondering why putting it in DFU mode to restore it wouldn’t be working?
Have a look here, this is the wrong thread for all that...
Has this thread become bug fixes and improvements chat for all the people not on betas now then?
2 pages of heating and still downgrading chat... boring AF.
Can we get back to what this threads purpose is about please
TUESDAY.

Part of me thinks today for B3 TBH.Yup, Tuesday. Hopefully they fix the restore bug
That would be better! But Tuesday seems the more likely one based on the last few weeks.
It's not a bank holiday, but Kids are off School and some Doctor's Offices are closed. It's Indigenous People's Day (formerly Columbus Day) here.
US - Columbus or Indigenous Peoples Day

There are some people screaming for Ios 17.0.4 because of some kind of WiFi disconnection issues. Haven't experienced it yet but there was a story on some website about it.
I’m not really sure why they’d stop signing the public version. I don’t really need to downgrade off the beta anyway, I was just curious.
Apple wants all of its users to be running the latest build of their supported IOS/IPadOS so that they’re protected from recent security issues, and the latest IOS/IPadOS update concerns that as well as other fixes usually. That is why Apple has stopped users from downgrading to the older IOS/IPadOS versions by removing signed older versions you can install. Its foremost a security justification is why they do it in that manner.
Now that has been said back to waiting till tomorrows expected 17.1. beta 3.
Yeah, but you should be able to downgrade from 17.1 beta to the latest public version. The original person I quoted said they cannot do that.Apple wants all of its users to be running the latest build of their supported IOS/IPadOS so that they’re protected from recent security issues, and the latest IOS/IPadOS update concerns that as well as other fixes usually.

you cant downgrade. trust me.
Please read the last 10 pages of 17.1 beta 2 thread and you'll learn all about it.
was seeing if anyone heard any smoke on 17.0.4 or if yall just think we dive straight into 17.1 coming up. My best guess is we get 2 betas and RC left
