A few days ago, the public beta version of iOS 9 was released, and of course, it can be difficult for enthusiasts to resist and not try out the new generation of mobile operating system from Apple. But when you install the iOS 9 beta, you may find that it's not the system for you just yet.
Especially demanding users may struggle with the fact that some apps have not yet been optimized and do not work on iOS 9. Battery life may deteriorate and the system itself does not guarantee 8.4% reliability and smooth operation. Fortunately, it's not too difficult to go back to the latest iOS XNUMX release. We'll show you how.
How to get your iOS device into Recovery Mode
Unfortunately, there is no rollback option in iPhone settings. Therefore, in order to make this option available, you must switch your phone or tablet to the so-called Recovery Mode. To achieve this, you will need to perform the following steps.
- Turn off your iPhone or iPad.
- Plug your USB cable into your computer.
- Press and hold the Home button on your iOS device.
- Now plug the USB cable into your device as well and continue to hold down the Home button until the iTunes connection screen appears on the iPhone or iPad screen.
How to downgrade to iOS 8.4
- If iTunes doesn't start automatically on your computer, turn it on manually
- iTunes will recognize that your device is in Recovery Mode and a window will appear on the screen offering you the option to restore.
- Click on the option Restore (Restore) and then confirm this choice by clicking on Restore and Update (Refresh and update).
- Click through the installer and after accepting the iTunes terms, the 8.4 GB iOS 1,84 installation package will begin to download.
How to restore your device from a backup
- Once iOS 8.4 is installed and your device is restored, you'll have a barebones iPhone or iPad without any data. So if you want your data back, you will need to restore your device from a backup.
- So choose restore from backup option in iTunes. However, it is possible that the last backup took place when you already had the iOS 9 beta installed. In that case, select an older backup.
When the restore is complete, your iPhone or iPad should be in the state it was in before you installed the iOS 9 trial.
This can also be done using the Restore iPhone function together with Shift pressed. iTunes will offer a manual selection of the file which is stored in user/appdata/roaming/apple computer/iTunes/ Iphone Sofrware Updates
I downloaded the iOS 9 beta profile, installed the update, it was problematic, I went back to iOS 8.4, did a restore, everything is OK, BUT I'm a moron because I only made a backup with the downloaded iOS 9 beta profile (before updating to iOS 9) and now beta 9 is still being offered to me because of course my profile has been uploaded back along with the backup. Is there a way to get rid of it so that when I check for updates the phone tells me that 8.4 is up to date and doesn't offer me the beta to download? When I delete the beta profile and restart the phone, I still have the option to download the iOS 9 public beta in the updates. I know that I can simply ignore it for a few months and then install the final version, but I still ask, especially if the next iOS 8.4 update should come out , I probably wouldn't be able to install it in this state.
delete profile? :)
Delete profile, restart. If it doesn't help, upload 8.4 and without restoring the backup.
Rudolf, didn't it give you an error when downloading the profile? I do, don't you know how to get around it?
Um. You're downloading that profile to the IP, right? It could be a firewall, do you download the profile via wifi or primo?
Did I download it directly to the iPad, or am I doing it wrong? I have never downloaded a profile like this, I must be doing something wrong.
I get this error

I have such a problem. I also installed the iOS9 beta, but today my touch screen stopped working. But that's what I thought until I connected the phone to another PC and a table showing whether to trust this PC appeared. The table went to confirm when I trusted. So the touch probably works. Does anyone know what to do with it, because I would say that the defect is not on the HW side but on the SW side. Unfortunately I can't even turn off the phone :(
So it's already been done. Restarted the phone by simultaneously holding the power button and home button for about 10 seconds. The phone is working again. I'm going right back there to cram version 8.4.
I already have 3 public 3 beta updates and it's already holding all the applications, it doesn't crash, I'm completely satisfied, sometimes it jerks a little but otherwise my 4s works :)
If I may ask, he has an ios 9 beta profile installed, what happens if I delete it, downgrade ios or break my iPhone
So I understand correctly that if I back up my data now when I have iOS9, I change my phone to 8.4 and I want to upload everything from that backup to z5, then it won't work? I've had the beta for about a month, so no contactor and various things. That's a bit of a moron, isn't it?
