Some even encountered iPhone stuck in recovery mode, Apple Logo or preparing the update screen when downgrading to iOS 10. Luckily, this post will tell you an easy way to take off iOS 11 without using iTunes.

If you’ve downloaded the iOS 11 beta! No doubt you’ve by now had your fun experimenting with Apple’s latest operating system packed with new features like a QR code-friendly camera app, a customizable control center, and a file manager app (named, unfortunately, Files).
But you might also be experiencing a few growing pains as you use your new, not-too-stable OS. So here’s how to get the damn thing off your iOS device and head back to iOS 10 so your smartphone doesn’t randomly reboot at the worst possible moment. The best part? It’s Apple-approved.

Step 1: Download the iOS 10 restore image

Since you’re using iOS 11, you’ll have to download the older iOS 10 image. Luckily, you can get the right software image straight from Apple. From there you can choose the corresponding restore image (in this case, iOS 10.3.3) for your device and wait for the multi-gigabyte file to download.

Step 2: Connect your iOS device to your computer

This is pretty self-explanatory.

Step 3: Put your device into recovery mode

To restore your device you’ll have to put it into Recovery Mode with a few timed button presses. If you’re using an iPad, iPhone 6s or earlier, or iPod touch, you can hold the Sleep/Wake button and Home button at the same time. Hold and wait until your device enters recovery mode.
iPhone 7 and 7 Plus users have to follow a different set of button presses and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button at the same time, then wait until the recovery mode screen pops up.

Step 4: Restore your iOS device

After you enter Recovery Mode, iTunes will present you with the option to restore your device. From there you’ll need to hold the Option key (hold Shift if you’re using Windows) and press Restore. Select the previously downloaded iOS software image and wait for your device to install it.
After your restore is complete you can activate your device and restore from an iTunes backup, and wait for your device to restore itself to its former glory.
