Activation error 7.1b3

Hi everyone,

I have iOS 7.1 beta 3 installed on a couple of devices. I went to install it on my girlfriends iPad 3, just to speed it up a little and somehow I've mucked it up.

I added its UDID onto the iOS developer device page just as I have with all of my other devices but after installing beta 3, it just keeps saying activation error and telling me to register the device in the iOS developer portal. I've disabled the device and added it again, but still keep getting the same message.

Can't even do a restore because as soon as I plug it into iTunes, it comes up with the same as the iPad.

Any help? As you can imagine, I'm in the dog house!

 

Well that's what I thought I could do. But not sure how, as soon as I choose my device in iTunes, all I can see is activation error. I can't bypass this screen on either the mac or the iPad....

 

Brilliant, thanks for your help! I have done a DFU restore before but can't quite remember, it was over a year ago! As I'm not with her at the moment, I'm going to have to relay the instructions to her. So after doing that, how do I do the restore?

 

So it's literally just pressing the buttons together? No alt click to restore at all?

 

Just realised, without sounding stupid, I actually held the power and home butting while it was plugged in and it just did a hard reset...

Nope, did it while it wasn't plugged in that's why it reset! All done and is restoring now. Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it!
