Hello,
About a week ago I updated my iPhone 6 Plus to the new iOS 9 Public Beta that was released (I did not archive an iTunes back up like Apple recommended) and have had a really horrible/buggy experience and would now like to downgrade from Public iOS 9 to "regular" iOS 8.4. The only backup I have is an iOS 9 backup on my MacBook's iTunes - all of my iCloud backups were lost because of a glitch when I updated to iOS 9 (Another reason that I would like to go back to 8.4). When I put my iPhone into recovery mode to delete iOS 9 Public Beta iTunes successfully restores my iPhone to iOS 8.4 and deletes all of my data. Then when I go to set up my iPhone from an iTunes backup (I don't have any iCloud because of the glitch) it says that I can not put my iTunes backup on my iPhone because the operating systems are not the same. So...is there a way to downgrade an iOS 9 iTunes backup to work with 8.4? (I don't mind paying for a third party service) If that doesn't work/there is no way to do that I am able reinstall iOS 9 on my 6 Plus and then use my iTunes iOS 9 back up - but then I am still left with a really buggy system/experience. This leads me to my second and final question, if there is no way to downgrade an iTunes backup can I downgrade my iPhone from iOS 9 to 8.4 without losing the data? Again, I do not mind paying for a third party service if there is one. Any information is greatly appreciated. This is a very frustrating issue because an iCloud glitch caused me to lose all my 8.4 backups which would have prevented all this. All I want is an iPhone running 8.4 with all my data/latest backup on it. Please help!
Thank You
iPhone 6 Plus
