Can't downgrade from 11 beta 2 to 10.3.2

PB 11
-DFU mode to IPSW-file of Developer Beta 1
-DFU mode to IPSW-file of 10.3.2

Worked several times yet for me and the last time 4 hours ago.

DFU mode: iPhone 7
3sec/10sec/5sec
Power Button/Power Button + Vol-/Vol-
 
I have iPhone 6S plus (model A1687) and I can confirm that NOTHING works for me. There is no way to downgrade from iOS 11 beta 2 to iOS 10.3.X. I tried downgrading to iOS beta 1 in DFU mode, than downgrading to iOS 10.3.3. beta 5 in DFU mode (stuck in recovery mode, iTunes logo). I also tried to downgrade on a PC with 3uTools software, also in DFU mode, same process as on Mac (beta 2 -> beta 1 -> 10.3.3. beta 5). No solution for me. Waiting for beta 3 or beta 2 update.

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.

Yes and it seems on the new iPad Pro 10.5 you cant go back!!! But I cant reinstall ios 11 either! I get the same problem as you constant recovery loop. Can you tell me how you managed to reinstall ios 11? I cant do it.
 
Happy I came across this thread. My backup phone (a 6s) was behaving exactly the same when trying to downgrade. I had been using iOS 11 beta 2 on it, but needed to downgrade and wipe it to let someone borrow it.

Thanks for the tips to all those that shared.

iOS 11 beta 2 -> iOS 11 beta 1 -> iOS 10.3.2 (not beta)

Doesn't work.

My guess is that maybe iOS beta 1 for that particular iPhone model also has a downgrade bug.

Try it on a different PC with a different USB-cable if you are not using the original one.
Yesterday I wanted to downgrade (iPhone 7) and it didnt work on my office notebook. Always got stuck at status-bar showing 50% when error 53 popped up.
At home it worked flawlessly using the same files but a different lightning cable.
DFU-mode: 11b2=>11b1=>10.3.2

Easiest thing is restoring to 10.3.3, and then to 10.3.2. I've done it multiple times now.
 
I was having the same issues, it would be stuck on the restore screen on the phone, but there is a special process, you have to download a file from the apple beta website, ios 10.3.3 beta restore image, then connect phone to computer and put in recovery, then you option click (mac) or shift click (pc) the restore option, then select the ios beta restore, and then hit restore
 
I have a iPhone 6s+ I had beta 2 was way to buggy so I put it in dfu mode and tried restoring it a dozen times and it kept giving me the support.apple.com screen on my device. I really started getting annoyed used 3 different computers and zero results. After getting really annoyed for ***** n giggles when iTunes said my phone was restored I yanked it outa the charger before it started to to loop the restoring boot up screen on the phone and then a miracle the white welcome screen popped up on my phone. After setting it up I plugged back into iTunes and restored from a backup.
