iOS 6 activation not working? (Not registered)

I am a registered developer of the iPhone Developer Program, and I registered my iPhone 4S' UDID (just did a couple of hours ago). All handy dandy to upgrade to the new and amazing iOS 6 right? WRONG! After successfully installing iOS 6, I get the error, "This device is not regsiterd as part of the iPhone Developer Program". Another member of my development team got theirs working fine, but they had registered their udid earlier. I registered my UDID because this is a new phone. So if anyone else is having this problem... or has a solution.


Thanks for reading

I installed and authorized iOS6 ok on my 16GB iPad 3 using OPTION-RESTORE, but could not authorize my 32GB iPad 3 - kept saying server unavailable.


Resetting my cable modem gave me a new IP address and then I was able to activate.


Could be coincidence. Anyone having problems authorizing should change their IP by reboting their DSL/cable modem. It worked right away after rebooting.


I don't see a way to get back to IOS5 since the IOS6 firmware just puts you into install mode. not DFU.


I may try the suggestion of KurtAL and go into Xcode to see if I can get back to iOS 5.1.1 there.


Thanks everyone!

I used the RESTORE method with iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S and iPad 2 without issue to update to iOS 6.


iPad 3 hung on a server activation issue. Also using the RESTORE method would not allow iTunes to recognize it. Using the UPGRADE method worked fine. So I don't believe it was an issue with Apple's servers.


Has anyone been able to use RESTORE to install iOS 6 on the first try with the iPad 3?
