Hi, has anyone successfully downgraded their device from ios 10 beta?
Downloaded ios9 via itunes restore, iphone showed loading bar then an itunes error âThe iphone âiPhoneâ could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (4014).â Phone froze showing the loading bar with no progress. After a few mins of nothing happening and no progress on the loading bar together with the itunes error i unplugged it (looks like this was the mistake).
Phone wonât display anything and itunes says âiTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.â, each time I click to restore, itunes gives the same 4014 error and i canât hard reset the phone with the home and power button. Looks like itâs stuck in recovery modeâŠ
I installed the beta software before seeing the warnings about not using it on your primary phone.
Try a hard reset while the phone is plugged into USB. You should at least get the display to show the recovery mode screen (looks like an outline of a lightning plug and an iTunes logo). From there you may be able to restore the iPhone past what youâve already done.
When I hard reset while itâs plugged in, it prompts itunes to give the error âiTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunesâ, but doesnât display anything on the phone. Hard reset when not plugged in displays nothing.
Doesnât look like too many people have this problem looking online and on stackoverflow. One person fixed it by changing the cable, didnât work for me. I also tried to restore on another mac. Iâll keep researching.
