Not able to restore to live iOS

This happend twice now.


Our devices were on iOS 6.1 Beta 4 and it expired. Now all devices are stuck on the initialization, asking for activation. The activation fails with every attempt.


When we try to update the device normally to live version, itunes shows error 'This device is not eligible for the requested build'.


Any idea on what is going wrong? How do we go around it?

iOS 6.1 Beta 4
