Unable to complete activation - account not registered

I've had my iOS dev account for a while and just registsed my new iPhone. When I try and install the iOS7 ipsw I get the following error:

We’re unable to complete your activation.

This device is not registered as part of the iPhone Developer Program.If you are a member of the Program, please register your device in the iPhone Developer Program Portal.

Is there something I can do to push the activation, or do we have an ETA for when this will be available?

iPhone 5

Are you running iOS 7 beta?

If so, are you a developer?

Stupidly, i bypassed the develeper account thing with a youtube tutorial. My phone messed up last night, it was making me set it up again. But, i found a solution. Put it on DFU mode, then restore it to factory settings, it should say 7.0.2. Then if it doesn't work the first time (didn't for me) try it again. Then it will restore to factory settings. Then restore a backup (luckily mine was only from 2 weeks ago) and BOOSH it works again. Hope i helped anyone who was stupid like me.

hi all! I had similar issue on my phone 4s. I tried to fix in many ways but it didn't work.

However, i managed it.

1. I upgraded my itunes to its latest version from www.itunes.com

2. I downloaded the latest version of IOS 7.0.2 IPSW for my 4s

3. I put my phone in DFU mode and updated with IOS 7.0.2 IPSW.

it just works fine! great!

hope that it will help you!

I went into recovery mode as described in various replies above, let iTunes do its work, then set up my phone as a new iPhone.

You have to be a member of the forum, then you can register your devices.

How true - alas, there was only one Einstein.

I think you have to buy developer account which is for Iphone, and then you can register your devices. But the problem is the activation server is really annoying, its always busy and you cant really do anything about it. I've tried for 3 days already.
