Important details

You can only roll back to iOS 10.3.3, which is the latest version of this system. You cannot go back to earlier versions because Apple no longer signs their firmware files.
The process involves resetting the device and thenrestore from a backup, so it will take some time depending on the amount of your data and your internet connection (if you are recovering from iCloud).
Use this method only if you have a copy of the device in iCloud or iTunes.
The standard iCloud or iTunes backup is most likely based on iOS 11, so it may not recover correctly after installing iOS 10.3.3.
