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

Apple offers this guidance for error #2006:

iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support

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:

Just an FYI, Genius Bars in US (I assume the rest of world too) will not touch a device with Beta software installed. User has to perform downgrade. Apple will not be liable for loss of data, damage etc.

I’m a former Apple Store manager and if Apple finds any evidence/trace of beta software, service will be refused. That’s all I’m saying. 😢😀😀

You’re welcome!
