[Updated] How to Downgrade iOS 18/17 to iOS 17/16 Without Data Loss | 2 Ways | 2024 Updated

If you've encountered issues with the latest iOS 18/17 update, including bugs like battery draining, and want to rollback from iOS17 without iTunes, or revert to a stable version, you're in the right place. Let's explore the steps for downgrading & rollback from iOS 17/16.

⚠️ Please noted that our techic based on apple server, if apple unsigned the iOS 16 firmware, you won't be able to downgrade to iOS 16 anymore, we'll keep you updated in the descriptions once the firmware unsigned.

TO DOWNGRADE:
**Causes of the Problem:**
iOS 17.5 may pose issues, and downgrading is a solution. However, Apple's support for specific firmware versions impacts the downgrade possibility.

**Solution: Downgrade to iOS 17.2 or Earlier**

Ensure your iPhone model supports the desired firmware version for downgrade.

**Steps:**

**Step 1 - Turn Off Find My iPhone:**
In Settings, tap your profile, and disable Find My iPhone.

**Step 2 - Create A Back-Up:**
Connect your phone to iTunes, create a local backup, or use iCloud for data backup.

**Step 3 - Downgrade with ReiBoot:**
ReiBoot provides a simplified alternative to iTunes for downgrading.

- Connect your device, and click the downgrade button in ReiBoot.
- Select Downgrade; it auto-detects the version.
- The process is straightforward with minimal errors.

**Step 3 (Alternative) - Downgrade with iTunes:**
If you prefer iTunes, here's an alternative method.

- Download the iOS 17 IPSW file from IPSW.me.
- In iTunes, hold the shift key, click Restore iPhone, and select the IPSW file.
- Confirm, and your iPhone will downgrade from iOS 17.5 to iOS 17.2

iTunes may prompt an error; consider using ReiBoot as an alternative method.

**Step 4 - Restore from Backup:**
Regardless of the method, a reset is needed. Restore the backup, but make adjustments for iOS 17 compatibility.

- Open the Run dialog by holding the Win and R keys, type %appdata%, and navigate to Apple Computer, MobileSync.
- If no Backup folder, type %userprofile% and go to Apple, MobileSync.
- Open the Backup folder and find the most recent backup.
- Open info in Notepad, search for "product," and change the iOS version to 17.2.
- Save the file and start the restore process in iTunes.

can i downgrade iphone 13 ios 17.2.1 to 17 or 16?

[diogooliveira-mh]

yes, it says this in your application, the current version of your system 17.2.1 is already the minimum system for apple and cannot be downgraded, fix it, we pay money, at least we will go back to 17.1.1, it is much better, I I have this version in my other iPhone 11 doesn't heat up
