Unless perhaps, anyone can confirm that it is possible to easily downgrade from iOS9.3 Beta back to iOS9.2 current release.

It will be interesting to see if there is any more feedback from people who have updated.

Confirm! Happened!

Hallo Appel Communiti!

Als wie ich ja schon geschreiben habe hat das geklappt von 4.3.5 auf 9.3. und nun habe ich über die Wiederherstellung im DFÜ-Modus wieder hergestellt und sie das Ios 9.2 ist drauf und läuft.🙂🙂

I have no idea what sorcery you guys are using, but with the new 9.3 beta IPSW (which I double checked numerous times to be the right one for my device) I am now getting error 27. This makes 0 sense and is beyond frustrating.

Okay, still getting Error 27, here is what i'm doing,

1. Open latest version of iTunes on Mac.

2. Plug in iPad

3. Select the ipsw to update from

4. Wait about a minute or so

5. Error 27

6. Restart ipad via 3rd party software and now back to beginning.

I've tried it again after restarting it through the software and tried turning it off and back on again.

Thanks so much for all the help everyone - I almost got stuck waiting on Apple to get into the developer program! &I was derping and did the same thing at first, haha. Anyhow, I updated and at long last, am up to speed with the current update! Now to see how it runs. 🙂 At least I can get current applications now & sign into my email addresses; I'm glad Apple included a way of updating.

I also have an iPad 2 that I can't restore, I went to Apple Store, they told me the Motherboard was faulty, then with a third party software, I was able to restart it and reach the settings, my version is 4.3.5...

So I do not trust Apple anymore has they clearly want me to buy a new device, saying that the iPad is faulty.... which is wrong.

They just make the upgrade impossible for some devices, maybe it was announced in your 13821 pages of term and conditions, that I agreed..... No I can't agreed with your method anymore.... bye Apple

Thanks for the info. Really helped a total noob. iPad 2 was stuck in restore loop after trying to upgrade from 4.3.5 to 9.2.

Please can you answer a noob question: How do I 'downgrade' to 9.2? When I connect to iTunes it shows software is up to date. I'm hesitant to restore in case it goes back to 4.3.5. Or is this incorrect?

Thanks Angelo. Given that the iPad is now working perfectly, is there any

advantage to going back to 9.2 or should I just leave it on 9.3?

I am using IPAD 2 (i am not sure about the ios its 4.3.X) GSM and I keep getting different kind of error since the first time I've tried to update and I can not use the ipad now.

when trying to upgrade to 9.3 beta 5 using shift+restore while the ipad 2 is in DFU mode I get the error: 3194. (checked host, the firewall is off)

I am really frustrated been working on it for a while.. tried also a different PC.

have you or anyone else tried to upgrade from the 9.3 beta to 9.3.1 after going from 4.1.3 IOS to 9.3?

I have Ipad 2 that I upgraded finally from 4.1.3 to 9.3 beta. Everything seems to be working fine now but apple keeps pushing for the new upgrade and I want to maximize its speed and ability since its old.

I don't understand and want to be clear. I am running 9.3 beta that I Updated via IPSW from 4.1.3, what will happen if I update from beta to the 9.3.1? I dont want to brick it again because it works great right now but I have heard the beta can be unstable.

There also is 9.1 beta

I have same problem, and my version is even older 4.3.3, 🙂. Hope Apple can provide a solution soon, since a lots of apps cannot be used due to such old version.

Thanks for the information,

I'm having the same issue.

iPad 2, 4.3.5 to IOS 9, Error 9.

Apple - This is a bug guys. Can you please take a look?
