I'm having trouble with my iOS 26 installation. It seems corrupted, and even after trying to restore it using iTunes, the issues persist. I've heard of 3uTools but I'm not sure if it will help. What are my options for a clean install?

What kind of problems are you experiencing? Honestly, there’s no cleaner way than restoring your device and setting it up as new without using a backup after.
Yes, you can definitely do a clean installation via your computer. You can use either DFU mode or recovery mode to achieve that.

iOS 26 seems to be corrupt on my device. I've noticed my dynamic wallpaper is lagging, and the tinted icons have issues, even though they work fine on my other iPhone 11. I was thinking of downloading the IPSW file and using 3uTools—do you think that would work?
