Help! Installed ios6 without dev account!

[rohan076]

Too bad I didnt read the rules. I downloaded ios 6 and installed it without having a developer account! Now i'm stuck with a 'We're unable to complete your activation' message and a not usable phone. Anyway I can restore to ios5?

Thanks in advance

Apple is still signing iOS 5.1.1, you shouldn't have any problems installing that. Just Option (Shift) + Click on Restore in iTunes and select the 5.1.1 IPSW you downloaded (assuming you have it downloaded already).

I did the same thing and now I can't figure out how to restore! Did you find a solution? I can't get a restore option on iTunes >freaking out<

---------- EDIT ----------

Crisis averted, here's the solution:

-Connect iPhone to PC/Mac

-Hold down the Home button & sleep/wake button together. Keep holding till you see a USB cable and iTunes logo.


Give it 20 seconds if iTunes does not show it, Disconnect and reconnect. Should now detect in recovery mode.


In the Summary screen you will have an option to restore iPhone. Restore it. But before doing this to prevent syncing to the phone when it is done perform the following really quick

I knew this was bound to happen sometime.

Just download an .IPSW of iOS 5.1.1 for your device, and point to it in iTunes when you click on 'Restore.' If it doesn't give you a 'Restore' option, then put it in DFU Mode, then try to restore.

yep, you probably got the solution by now.

just put your iDevice into DFU mode, connect to iTunes, and it will do the rest
