Yesterday I discovered I could downgrade to 8.2, so I found the right file spent ages downloading it, followed all the instructions to install it and yes it works, but be warned ...
I backed up my phone before I installed 8.2 because I read it does a factory reset and completely wipes it.
When mine was completed, I clicked to restore my apps, contacts, notes, calendars etc and it wouldn't restore because my back up was 8.3 and my iOS was now 8.2, so be warned!
I'm now back on 8.3 because I would have lost everything otherwise
