IOS – Removing public beta failing

Information:

  • Model Identifier: MacBookPro11,4
  • System Version: macOS 10.13.5 (17F77)
  • iOS 12

Read the first: How to remove iOS 12.0 Public Beta from iPhone 8 in order to restore archived iOS 11.4 backup?

I followed the instructions under "Problem Solved", but to no avail. I put my phone into recovery mode > given the option to restore, which I did.

Unlike with other posts (e.g., https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iosapps/downgrade-ios-12-beta-3522302/ – I originally followed this one), I was not given the option to chose a backup or completely restore. Instead, it just booted up into 12 and asked me again if I wanted to install an update to connect to my computer. I don't even have the option to restore my phone to a clean backup.

Other thoughts:

  • I deleted the beta profile
  • I might not have backups from before 12, but then I still should be
    able to just get rid of it.
