This got me interested ...
Can you say a little more about how you installed a previous backup and the
problems encountered as a result.
Just interested, and hope it will help me in understanding the process ...

Hi Jenny,
You would have to go on a site like http://ipswdownloader.com and download
the full iOS firmware for your specific device. I haven't checked if 8.4 is
up there yet, but I assume by now it would be. Then you have to connect your
phone to iTunes, put it in recovery mode, press shift+restore and select the
downloaded .IPSW file. If you use Windows, the file most likely will
download as a file with a .zip extension, you have to enable showing file
extension and rename it with .ipsw. Hopefully this will downgrade you and if
you have archived an 8.4 backup you can restore from it. All of this is
explained at beta.apple.com along with the appropriate warnings for using
beta software. I had a pretty hard time downgrading and since my backup was
from 8.3 and I went straight to 8.4 right after its public release, I
couldn't restore my backup and had to start from scratch, set up as a new
phone, setup all my email accounts again, reinstall apps and all that fun
stuff. It took me hours and I learned a pretty good lesson regarding
archiving backups from various versions, not to try and restore a backup
from a previous version to a newer version and in general about the risks
involved with using early-stage beta software. I ran iOS 8 from Beta 1 last
year, but while I had all the usual bugs I think all in all my 5S was
actually more stabil than it was with iOS 9 Beta 1 and 2.
I may try iOS 9 agan before the public release in mid September, but
probably I'll let another 2 or 3 betas go by and look into it again in early
or mid August.
Good luck,
Sieghard
