Stuck in iOS 7 Beta
Hello basil,
A while back i got the ios 7 beta without getting the developer account. Earlier, I went to go on my iphone and it said "activation required".
Thinking it was no big deal, i just went to my itunes to restore my phone back to 6.1.4 then update to the real ios 7.
Now the problem..
If i try to restore my phone while its plugged in and on, it says I can't because "Find my iphone" is on in the icloud settings app. This would be no big deal but my phone is locked from the "activation required" and therefore i cant turn it off.
If I try to put my phone in DFU mode while its plugged in, it says, "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted".
Can anyone help me get back into my phone

I recently had the same problem just without the find my iPhone part so what I would do I wait till ios 7.3 is out so you can update to it from the beta version and ur phone would be saved or I think you could turn ICloud off from another apple device
Hi Jay! Long time no see. I also downloaded the beta and am/was having a similar problem.
I'm currently downloading the 7.0.2 ipsw and plan to update to it from beta 6 by shift + clicking on check for update and selecting the file, like how you did to update to the beta in the first place. I don't think you need to mess with DFU. Hope it helps.
your best bet would be contacting the genius bar
