I attempted to follow this guide for Downgrading from iOS 9.3.5 to iOS 8.4.1.

I was able to complete every step in the list until these step(s):

insert description here :)

I get stuck at step 20.

This is when you start the downgrade.

When the downgrade appears, I click Download and Install as usual.

But when I click it, it just stays on this screen forever:

Stuck

The Download and Install button will stay grayed out and will have a spinning wheel.

I am using an iPad mini (1st gen) and am running iOS 9.3.5

For other people, the downgrade will start immediately.

Am I missing anything?

    @fsb There is no way to reply to a direct comment. So I wrote a question here. Due to this place being the best place for iOS question's, this is the best forum to start.

    From looking at the comments beneath reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/719v6j/… it seems that the procedure fails for other people as well

    So the answer to my question (apple.stackexchange.com/questions/311863/…) is no, don't upgrade?

    @Ihf No. You can upgrade, just if you want to go back, follow the guide in my question! Just log out of iCloud.
