I do a regular backup to PC just for the hell of it. –> Backup, then backup, then backup again! I always do a fresh iCloud backup, deleting the latest backup before I do.

–> Make sure you update your phone to the latest and greatest stable build. iTunes downloaded automatically.Ĭouple of tips that I have found useful when playing around with Betas. I just wanted to point out that when doing the recovery I wasn’t able to pick the file (8.4). Speech to text would work on first boot, the first time i used it but anytime I tried to use it after that it would just hang and do nothing That’s the main reason why I am going back because I use S2T all the time. Tried uninstall and reinstall but got the same results. A lot of apps did not work and would just hang and crash. I too upgraded to version 9 and love the new features but man buggy as hell. Now that you’re back on a stable iOS release, if you want to dabble in future versions of iOS 9, the best thing to do is either wait for the iOS Public Beta program to launch more stable versions, or, perhaps better yet, is to simply wait for the final release to enjoy it on the iPhone or iPad. Note that DFU mode is not always required to downgrade iOS software, and prior beta versions of iOS (like going from 8 back to 7) could be done with a simple IPSW restore, nonetheless, BGR recommends using DFU mode, and in our testing it worked just fine.

In iTunes, select the device under the “Summary” tab, look for the “Restore” button – on a Mac, OPTION click that button, on a Windows PC, SHIFT click that button, then navigate to the iOS 8 IPSW file you downloaded earlier.When a message in iTunes pops up saying a device in recovery mode has been detected, you are successfully in DFU mode and the hardware is ready for the downgrade.Launch iTunes and connect the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch to the computer using the USB cable, then immediately start holding down the Power and Home button together for 10 seconds, then release the Power button but continue holding the Home button.On the iOS 9 device, open Settings and go to iCloud, and turn off “Find My iPhone”, then turn off the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch by holding down the Power button.You can not restore an iOS 9 back up to iOS 8 however, so keep that in mind. You’ll probably want to back up your iOS device before beginning this process, otherwise you may lose data that you find important. Downgrading an iPhone or iPad with iOS 9 Beta Back to iOS 8 To get started, you’ll need a USB cable, a computer with the latest version of iTunes, and the relevant iOS 8.4 IPSW file for the specific device being downgraded (yes, signed iOS works too).
