I'm an idiot - I upgraded my phone to iOS7 without being a developer... help?

Hi guys

At the title says, I've upgraded my phone to iOS7 without being a registered developer. As a result, when I plug my phone into iTunes it says that I need to activate my phone and won't let me do anything else.

As I can't afford the $99 fee to register to the program, does anyone know if there is a way for me to downgrade back to iOS6?

I would really appreciate some pearls of wisdom

Thanks in advance guys

Put it into DFU mode and restore it in iTunes.

I'd just do the home-button + sleep-button thing (sorry forget the name)
so it basically shuts down completely. And after that you can restore the device, at least your phone is no way lost or sth, don't worry, somehow it will come back to useable life, I am not the big pro at that stuff, so better do what the others say.... because mine just works!

What did you even do? I mean iTunes is not supposed to ask you to activate you phone if you put on the iOS 7 beta downloaded from a website, at least I never experienced that. sorry buddy, you are one of a 100k hehe.

He probably restored instead of updating.

I updated my iPhone to iOS 7 and I'm not a developer. Mine works great. You must have done a wrong step somewhere.
