what's going on YouTube gios right here
0:02
so in today's video I'm going to show
0:03
you how to downgrade from IOS 18 back to
0:06
iOS 17 on any device running iOS 18 beta
0:09
so all you need is essentially iTunes
0:11
and your device connected to the
0:13
computer now iTunes allows you to manage
0:15
everything from the device including the
0:17
software that it's running so I'm going
0:18
to go ahead in here and stop the device
0:20
and you can see I'm running iOS 18 beta
0:23
now a good idea if you have data on your
0:25
device is to back it up right now there
0:27
is the option for backups in here you
0:28
can do either an iCloud backup or on
0:30
this computer however you will soon
0:32
realize that the restore iPhone option
0:34
over here may not work for you because
0:37
when you click restore you may get this
0:39
error over here there was a problem
0:40
downloading the software for iPhone your
0:43
iPhone's name the requested resource was
0:45
not found in this case it doesn't allow
0:47
you to downgrade back to iOS 17 so what
0:49
you need to do is to get the ipsw file
0:51
or the firmware for your device to do
0:53
that go to ivice central.com my website
0:56
go here to iOS signing status and select
0:58
your device from this list list in this
1:00
case it's an iPhone 10r so I'm going to
1:02
select it from this list over here and
1:04
you're going to see all the available
1:05
signed versions for your device I'm
1:07
going to go with the latest 17.6 and
1:09
click on the number in here which is the
1:11
build number of the version remember you
1:13
can only restore the signed versions and
1:15
it will start downloading the firmware
1:17
in this case I already have a downloaded
1:20
version so I'm going to move it here to
1:21
the desktop and now we go back here on
1:24
iTunes with the device connected press
1:26
and hold shift on your keyboard and then
1:28
press restore iPhone over here and
1:30
you're going to get a dialogue like this
1:31
which allows you to select a firmare
1:33
going to select the iOS 17.6 ipsw file
1:36
press open and press restore this will
1:39
begin the installation process for iOS
1:41
17 and this will essentially downgrade
1:43
from IOS 18 back to 17.6 and it will
1:46
allow you to upgrade again to iOS 18 if
1:49
you want to in the future this will take
1:50
a while it has this extracting software
1:53
step then it's going to have a verifying
1:54
software with apple steps so there are a
1:56
couple of steps in here and your device
1:58
will reboot a couple of times in between
2:00
just wait for this to complete do not
2:02
disconnect the device until it boots
2:04
into the hello screen all right so 10
2:06
minutes later the uh restore is now
2:08
complete and you can see the device has
2:09
indeed reconnected to the computer and
2:12
we can Now activate the device as you
2:14
can see welcome to your new iPhone press
2:16
continue over here and I'm going to
2:17
press get started and that's it you can
2:19
see we're now running iOS 17.6 on this
2:22
device with build number 21 G80 so yeah
2:25

2:27
