Hi-

I previously had iOS7 beta 1 installed on my iPhone 5 (I have a developer account and have my UDID registered). That worked fine but I eventually restored back to 6.1.4. I'd like to install iOS7 beta 4 now and downloaded the file from the developer site and tried to both restore and update through iTunes and just get an error that my iPhone can not be restored at this time and I get an error code of 3000.

I've tried rebooting both the phone and computer with no luck. I don't need to start with beta 1 and upgrade do I? Should I be able to restore directly from 6.1.4 to beta 4?

Any help would be appreciated!
 
I'm pretty sure you have to get the iTunes 11.1 beta for beta 4 to work, it's only available for Mac and you download it at the dev website.

You need the latest public release of iTunes in able to install a beta I believe.

For whatever reason, some people need to be running iTunes 11.1 beta to bypass the error 3000. There are a few threads here already discussing the issue. Seems to only affect a small amount of users, but the beta iTunes is the only way to solve the problem if it happens. (Happened to me as well).

It seems like you do because I've seen a bunch of people here having this same problem and they've solved it by using the iTunes beta to install iOS 7 beta 4.

True. If the OP is a developer then downloading the latest iTunes beta shouldn't be a problem. Plus it allows for wifi sync.

Well it is only a small number of people this is affecting. As a rule, you do not need the iTunes beta to install iOS 7.

None of the previous betas require it and of course you can OTA from an earlier beta to beta 4, but if you're going to do a clean install of beta 4 or use iTunes to update to it, you do need the iTunes beta. I suggest you check out the developer forums where plenty of people are having to use the iTunes beta to install beta 4.

Just had a look over there and you're correct. I apologise, I didn't realise :eek:
 
I can confirm you do not need the iTunes beta to restore iOS 7 beta 4. I tried on both MacBook and Windows 8. The latest public release of iTunes works perfectly fine for me.
 
The iTunes beta did fix the issue for me, thanks for the suggestion!
