Problems restoring iOS 10b1

Hi.


So I upgraded my iPhone 6 plus to the iOS 10b1 using the configuration profile.


Then I backed up the iPhone to iTunes. I made sure to sync and backup again, until I knew for sure the backup had completed successfully.


The phone wasn't working well and would spontaniously reboot occasionally.


So what I decided to do was erase and restore the phone.


So I've erased and installed the IOS 10b1 restore image, and that succeeded. However, every time i tried to restore in iTunes, I would get the 'your iPhone disconnected error."


In an effort to resolve this, I switched to Apple Confiurator, and essentialluy did the same thing. Except now, the error duing restore has changed to basically say that the iOS on the phone was a older version of iOS than what was on my iphone and asked if I wanted to downgrade. i did. Afterwareds, the phone would try to install, and it says that the backup is newer than the os installed on the phone. Okay... so I thought that maybe the configuration file version was different from the restore image.


So I installed the configuration file and updated the iPhone to 10b1 again.


Once again I tried to restore and I was told that the iOS verion on the phone was newer than backup.


I really need to restore the phone to the backup, and yes, I have no other backup.


Any ideas?


Thank you very much.

Have you tried using XCode 8 to apply the update, and then restore backup? Are you on Sierra?

YEs, I have tried Xcode 8, same negative results. Someone else just posted about the problem In another thread.


seems like it may be something as simple as the backup having a iOS 10 version number referenced that doesn't correlate with the actual release version.


either way, a fix is Needed.
