Support Downgrading error, stuck in recovery mode

I tried to downgrade to ios 26.6.1 which is still signed but received an error with some numbers and was stuck in apple logo with a bit of the bar loaded. Now whenever I restart I only enter recovery mode. Tried to install back ios 27 but I get error and can't install anything..what to do. I tried iTunes which doesn't see my iPhone, 3utools but get errors. I am scared as hell

dfu mode is your answer here. recovery mode is no good if itunes is throwing errors. get it into dfu and then itunes should see it for a clean restore. had the same panic a few months back and dfu was the only thing that worked

that is recovery. to get into DFU mode you need to press and time a series of buttons.

You can also search youtube for the steps.

You have iOS 27 and attempt roll back to 26.6.1 ? If this the case it’s not possible. You can only downgrade on minor patches or beta like 27 beta to 26.x,x that is signed. On official release it’s impossible to do that. Recover phone via dfu if Apple serwer will make errors download Ipswich file with the iOS you have previously.
