iPhone 6s stuck in recovery mode

Hi to everyone! So, after some cogitations, I've discover one thing: few days ago Apple produced iOS 10.3.3 beta 4. So if you don't like raw and with many bugs iOS 11 beta 2, you can download iOS 10.3.3 beta 4 and install it. Procedure the same.

Recently I tried to downgrade to my previous iOS 10.3.2 but it drops to Recovery Mode Loop again and again. After flashing 10.3.3 b4 everything's fine!

Best regards! 🙂

i did this like you said, but still it says "device not found" so please how could i escape from recovery mode or downgrading into ios 10 from ios 11. Please tell me clearly the step and i need it fast 😟

Hi! You shouldn't reinstall it. Better install iOS 10.3.3 beta 4. It's stable and without lags.

1. Download ipsw file iOS 10.3.3 beta 4 for your device.

2. Get the latest iTunes.

3. Put your phone to DFU or it sometimes works in Recovery Mode. If it's in recovery than try it first.

4. launch iTunes. Connect your device. iTunes tell you that your device in recovery mode or DFU. It depends on you.

5. On Mac hold Alt and press repair iPhone. Than select downloaded image. On PC hold Shift and click to recover iPhone and select image.

That's all.

Where did YOU download it? If it wasn't from Apple's beta site (which requires that you be a registered developer) the copy you have is illegal, as there is no public beta for iOS 11 yet.

However, doing a DFU update using iTunes should still work to restore your device to 10.3.2. If you describe exactly how you tried to use DFU mode someone should be able to help you.

Hi, I have downloaded ios 11 beta 2 , tried restoring using that ipsw file.. but itune is throwing error 3194. Do I have to download ios beta 2 only or ios 11 beta 2 update 1 will work ? I guess I have downloaded the later.

Hi! Download iOS 10.3.3 beta 4. Install it. Than U can downgrade to stable iOS 10.3.2 if U want. When downgrading from 10.3.3_b4 to 10.3.2 you can chose option "update" firmware, not to "recover". In this case your previous data and settings will be stored. If recover iPhone it'll be clean install.

Regarding 3194 error check your iTunes - it must be the latest version.

Check your hosts file - you can find it in internet.

Sometimes it depends on network.

Better if u can try another laptop if can't find the reason by your own.

Okay I have the same problem, or a similar one.

Upgraded to the IOS11 beta program, phone wouldn't access the iTunes store. tried to downgrade and now phone stuck on the restore screen and when I do try and restore is fails and returns to the restore screen.

How do I download the iOS11 beta2 ripsaw file file?

Thanks

Step 1 : download ipsw (ios11) from given link

That is probably the worst advice ever given in ASC. Downloading any Apple software from anywhere other than Apple exposes you to spyware, viruses, trojans and other malware.

Hi. I really dont know what is happening with my phone!! I did what u said. I got a ios 10.3.3 ipsw and i held down shift and clicked update and im still in reckvery mode. It goes to the apple logo with the loading bar and all but once its done im back in recovery mode!!! Please help!!! What exactly did u do and what do u think im doing wrong?

I had to hold down the option key and click update to select the .ipsw file on my iMac. The control key wouldn't work. I used the 10.3.3 to downgrade from the recent beta. This'll be the last time I install a freaking beta version on an iOS device.

That's a wise decision. It's a bad idea to install any beta software on any device that you need to be working on a daily basis.

The solution is all over the place on this thread. For some reason the phone won't restore to 10.2 which is the current version iTunes downloads. There's an official link somewhere up in this thread that I used.

Put your phone in recovery mode (if it's looping then you're good), download the 10.3.3 beta, option click restore in iTunes (if using a mac), select the .ipsw file you just downloaded, and then it'll restore correctly.

Long and short answer. The best reliable method that works is to flash iOS public beta (developer beta 2) if your phone is stuck in recovery. It magically works. If you installed public beta, there is no way you can downgrade to the stable version. Some have claimed that the 10.3.3 beta downgrade works (simply flash the 10.3.3 public beta). I haven't tried that yet but many people do claim it works. Realized the hard way that Public beta is NOT A DAILY DRIVER! Usually Apple's beta builds are stable, but I highly recommend people to stay away from iOS 11 public beta unless its something you really want to test. DO NOT use it as a daily driver UNLESS you want to test drive it.

Sorry.

No I have not downgraded to 10.3.3

, every time I restore or update an error code comes up before it is about to finish on iTunes.

I was able to get it to restore again with the iOS 11 Beta 2 ipsw firmware file.

So now it’s not stuck in the screen with the iTunes and plug.

I fixed this problem but if your looking how to downgrade from beta 11 to 10.3.3 I haven’t figured that out yet but I’m working on it.

From all I gathered after spending 10 + hours trying to downgrade all the ipsw files are not the same format when I was trying to fix my phone some ipsw files were off by a simple letter in the file but I could be wrong....still trying tho.
