Upgrade to iOS 11 then back to 10.2???

You cannot go back to 10.2 whatsoever if you upgrade.
In order to downgrade you first need to be jailbroken on the firmware you're currently on. Then someone needs to develop a tool or method to allow a downgrade from your firmware.
You may (or may not) have noticed that iOS 11 has no jailbreak at the moment…
I'm currently jail broken on 10.2. Are there any tools out there to downgrade? If not, I may soon be kissing my JB goodbye
I guess I should be more clear.
You can upgrade to iOS 11, but you cannot return until there is an iOS 11 jailbreak and a downgrade tool.
There may be an iOS 11 jailbreak, there may not. But if there is and there is no downgrade tool then you are still stuck.
You can't do anything when stock and going to iOS 11 will mean you're stock.
As far as anything to downgrade right now at 10.2, I don't have a clue.
Thanks mate. I'm on iPhone 6 not 6S. If this iOS 11 JB does happen, will the ip6 be supported?
And how do I update to 11.1.2?
Yes. This is why I told you to use one of the modifier keys to click on upgrade.
Mac - use OPTN. PC - use SHIFT (I said CTRL in the other thread, but it's SHIFT). Point iTunes to the IPSW you download of 11.1.2.
Please explain in more detail. At what point do you click on Optn on mac? And that will lead you to 11.1.2?
The process applies to any IPSW that is still being signed, but is not the current IPSW.
Download the IPSW.
Connect your phone and open iTunes.
In iTunes, hold down the OPTN key on Mac (SHIFT on PC).
Click on the Update/Upgrade button.
A popup window will open allowing you to select the IPSW you just downloaded.
Find the IPSW through the folder naviigation and select it, then click OK, or Update/Upgrade or whatever the big button says.
iTunes starts installing THAT IPSW and not the current one.
