Downgrading to iOS 10.3.2 (14F89) for iPad 4 (WiFi)

Hi Ipad 4 users & ios experts,

I am trying to downgrade my ipad 4's ios from 10.3.3 to 10.3.2. Why? Well, my ipad is kinda busted. i am having random clicks with my ipad (don't ask why this happened,it's my fault) anyway in 10.3.2 this problem was fixed so i thought further upgrade won't affect this problem anymore. but when i upgraded to 10.3.3, it happened again. ugh!

i was even hoping to update my ipad to ios 11 but it's not available for this model.

i already know how to downgrade but my dilemma is that the .ipsw for 10.3.2 has this note: This firmware is not signed. This means you cannot restore to it in iTunes.

if i continue to downgrade my ipad with this ipsw, what could happen?

Not possible since Apple has long stopped signing both iOS 10.3.2 AND iOS 10.3.3.

Have you tried a hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons?
