I haven't heard Apple has pulled it yet, but they soon will. So be quick before
they stop signing it or pull it.

Interestingly enough iOS 8.4.1 has been out for several weeks

I’m sure other websites have it, but I wonder why this one
doesn’t.

Hi Neal, this won't be possible for very much longer. So if
you're going to do it, you'll want to do it without any delay. If Apple follows
its usual practice, they will soon stop signing iOS 8.4.1, so with the
exception of a pretty complex process in jailbroken devices, it won't be an
option.
The short answer to your question is that during this window,
if you can find the file with a .IPSW extension for iOS 8.4.1 for your specific
iPhone model, you can install it by pressing shift+Space-bar on the "restore"
button in iTunes. Navigate to that file, run it, wait, and eventually you'll
have 8.4.1 back. Hopefully you have kept an encrypted backup in iTunes of your
phone in its 8.4.1 state and you can restore from that. If you have not, an
iCloud restore should be a much lengthier but feasible restore.
But I can't stress enough, if Apple sticks to its usual
behaviour, these instructions will stop working real soon.

Hi, I don’t think I need to do this, but just to make
sure, I searched for things on the web and saw articles about how to down grade
a beta version back to version 8. Is it the same path to take when downgrading
from the released version? Are there any simple listing of steps that anyone
has found that may be more easy to contemplate than some of the ones I have
found?
Thanks for all help.
