Error (2006) when restoring iPad Pro 4th Gen 11" (downgrading iOS 18 beta)

I installed the iOS 18 beta a couple of days ago on my iPad Pro 4th Gen 11", did not like it so I decide to roll back and reinstall iOS 17.5 (the prior version I have)

I tried the regular process and it just failed, then I go over DFU mode and it download de iOS, unpacked and when it should star the install it toast an error (2006) and there is no way it works.

I'm using a MacBook Pro M2 with Sonoma 14.5. Any ideas?

You might be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support - however, be aware that in loading unsupported beta software you have assumed all responsibility for any issues or difficulties that may occur. Beta software is by definition unfinished software - and you should have every expectation of encountering issues and/or loss of data.


You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases from Apple devices using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians may be able to offer assistance with restoring production software to your iPad:
