Resolved Im screwed right? UDID problem with ios 7

[azz0r]

Hello,

I bought my way into testing IOS7.

Then my power button broke, I took it to Apple and they replaced the entire phone.

I get home, hook it into itunes, restore from the ios7 image. It gets to activation and say that "the device is not registered as part of the iPhone develop program..." because I have a new UDID obviously.

Then it turns out their dev center is closed because of the hacking.

So now I have an iPhone that has ios7 that cant activate and I can't restore to ios6 because iTunes last backup was ios7.

Anything I can do?

You can DFU restore to iOS 6, but not restore from your backup.

Wait for the developer page to be back up witch should take a few days

Living with an iPhone for a few days is crazy, maybe it'll be a good thing?

If you really need to have the phone working now, you can buy a UDID registration for like $8 at *****.com

How are they going to register when the developer page is down

Downgrade to ios 6 and live without your backup for a few days then when developer page is up. Upgrade to iOS 7

 

[azz0r]

Yeah thats the real kicker, as soon as its back I should be okay

Is it possible to backup an itunes backup?

I want to make sure itunes doesn't wipe my ios 7 backup.

Looks like the only option is to live with iOS 6 until the dev site is back up.

Setup your iPhone as new

Wrong...

Then what other way?

My bad, you were right. Set it up as new. The guy that said he was stuck with IOS 6 until the servers came bsck up was wrong.

Okay so heres what I did, first, follow these instructions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtjga0Dp_GE

Then iTunes lets you restore from this backup, which is a dropdown, on that dropdown old backups are listed.

It seems when you upgrade to ios 7 itunes makes a specific ios6 backup for you to restore to.

Sorted for now Thanks

And how is he going to get the udid added in order to add iOS 7 without the dev site being up?

I don't know if that has been mentioned but you can DFU back into iOS 6 (get ispw from online as well as one for iOS 7) and then you can option+update into iOS 7. Once you have that loaded you should be able to restore from your old backup correct? (please excuse me if I am wrong on this as I haven't had to deal with this in a while)

Setup your iPhone as new

And then name that phone something other than what the old one was named. That way iTunes thinks they are two separate phones.
