How to install iOS 7 Beta without UDID registration


Apple announced its new mobile operating system on 10th of June. First beta was available to developers and more recently second beta on 24th of June. Both versions are only available for registered developers who pays $99 per year to maintain developer accounts. But if you are impatient to touch new interface of iOS there is a way to try iOS 7 without having a developer account. But I must warn you that as in all betas it can have bugs and may affect your workflow. It is strongly encouraged your data first and if you are using jailbreak you should try this at this point.  Let me switch the gear to explain how actually it is done.

 1. Obtain an ipsw file of iOS 7 beta 1 or 2. You can download it from here. Please note that it is not a direct download from Apple servers so use it with your own risk.
 2. Open iTunes (make sure it is the newest version), connect your iPhone and in summary tab click Check for Updates while you are holding alt (option)key for mac and shift key for windows.  This is very important if you click restore instead your iPhone will stuck in activation screen if you don’t have a developer account.
 3. A window will pop up and you can choose which ipsw you want update to. (it also works to downgrade) Choose  iOS 7 ipsw and click update. This is last exit before the toll way make sure it says restore otherwise your phone will stuck in activation screen.
 4. iTunes will install the OS and you will be asked to enable location setting so and so.
 5. Enjoy iOS 7.


Did you stuck in activation screen even my numerous warnings? No big deal you can restore to 6.1.3
