Guys......I need help....PLEASE... Ive gone through this entire thread from page 1...I can't restore back to iOS11 Beta 2......I don't have a DEV account and I keep getting "Could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"...I have an iPhone 6s and I can't for the life of me find an iOS11 Beta 2 IPSW download link anywhere apart from the one I've used which might legitimately be the wrong file linked? Im praying thats the case.....Please could someone point me in the right direction that isn't off a bridge? Thanks

don't need a developer account only install 10.3.3.beta 4 then 10.3.2
You have to download the ios 11 from beta 1 and downgrade it to that first, then you have to downgrade it from beta 1 to ios 10.3.X, i tried downgrading from ios beta 2 to ios 10.3.2 but it didnt work, the way i just explained works perfectly
[doublepost=1498315826][/doublepost]Can you tell me how you managed to reinstall the iOS 11 beta 2? I'm encountering the same issue and I'm supposed to be getting a box from apple in the mail to get my iPhone "repaired"
So I'm seeing a couple of things here. Some people are going from iOS11 beta 2 -> iOS11 beta 1 -> iOS 10.3.3 (beta) ->iOS 10.3.2 (official)
However, some are skipping 10.3.3 and going straight to 10.3.2 from Beta 1, but I'm ALSO seeing people go from 11 Beta 2 straight to 10.3.3 beta seemingly successfully. Trying to figure out the best route here. Using a 10.5" iPad Pro

This iOS 11 beta 1 torrent is taking an eternity. You don't happen to know a direct link for it, do you? It's 10.5" iPad Pro Cellular

The safest is 11b2 -> 11b1 -> 10.3.3b4 -> 10.3.2 because is 100% working order, and takes extra 10min compared with other orders.... and gives less hassle if something goes wrong.
Thanks. You don't happen to know a better source for the iOS11 beta 1, do you? I already have all the others and are just waiting on this one to get started. Still only at 20%. Taking forever
TBH there is no many sources for official IPSWs to download for your ipad. What model is exactly WIFI or Cellular?
[doublepost=1498319981][/doublepost]It's ok. I'll wait for the torrent. Thanks though!

Then down to 10.3.2
I can confirm this worked on my iPhone 6S! xD I'm so happy!
If you had 12.9" there is a plenty of links to download, but im not 100% sure as IPSW for 12.9" and 10.5" are exactly the same. You can try to download ans check as iTunes will check that for you and if it's not compatible the will show the error, before will start doing anything
[doublepost=1498324809][/doublepost]The same thing happened to me, Apple also wants me to send mine in, It doesn't make any sense as to why apple wouldn't check this issue out before actually releasing the second beta, I'm going to try to reinstall the ios 11 beta 2 using IPSW filing and see if that works; will let you know.

can you give me the link you used to download ios 11 beta 1? and the ios 10.3.3
havent read all this thread/ not on ios 11 but I'm just curious how does one go from b2 to b1 to 10.3.2 if when you grab the OTA profile it automatically shows beta 2 (right?)
What a headache for people trying to go back
I wonder if its a bug or a 'feature' to prevent downgrading in the future

iOS 11 Beta 2 > 10.3.2 = itunes boot loop.
I was able to restore using the 11 beta 2 IPSW. Now i'm trying to restore to iOS 11 Beta 1 > 10.3.2 route.
update: Going from 11B2 > 11B1 > 10.3.2 worked.

Can someone confirm that if I get stuck in recovery mode (with the iTunes logo on my iPhone) I can always go back to beta 2? Will this brick my device? Worst case scenario can I just restore back to beta 2?
Yes you can comeback to beta 2, and no it'll not brick you phone... and yes you can restore to beta 2
So just for confirmation:
iOS 11 beta 2 downgrade to beta 1 using DFU mode
Then beta 1 to 10.3.3 beta 4
Correct?
Currently downloading beta 1 IPSW. I'll try this process and keep you updated. I'm using an iPhone 7 plus
