ACTIVATION REQUIRED 'ERROR'

PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!

Just today, my iPhone 4s became a BRICK, nothing less, nothing more......I CANT do anything with it as the only thing that appears on the screen is this message: ''We're unable to complete you...'' ''This device is not registered as part of the iPhone Developer Program''

I saved a LOT OF MONEY for this device and now I can't even hear music, or see photos

(I tried to do the 'restore' thing on iTunes and it wouldn't let me) 😟 😟 😟 😟 H E L P P L E A S E !

iPhone 4S

iTunes WON'T let me restore it.....im losing my mind 😟

I dont understand what you meant by ''why did you use a beta software for developers?''

How do you know im using a beta software and what is a developer?

(sorry if im asking dumb questions, i dont know much about this)

It means that the software on the iphone is a beta & should only be used by developers somehow your phone was updated to a beta software maybe 5.1 beta & it is not registered in the developer program , try to put your iphone in recovery mode and try to restore http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 this should work
