I have the iPod touch 5th generation and it was running iOS 6.1 beta 4. That beta expired, and so I went on to the Dev. Center to download Beta 5 to try and upgrade. Once it downloaded, I extracted the ipsw from the .dmg and attemped to update from that .ipsw by using option+update in iTunes. It fails with "The Device is not eligible for the requested build" error. Am I doing something wrong? Is anyone else having this problem?
iPod touch
Having the same issue with the same device. I wound up having to downgrade to 6.01 (via recovery mode), just to keep the device running. Unfortunately, this means I can't restore my settings from iCloud, until 6.1b5 works.
I had no problem updating my 4th gen iPod. But no matter what I try, I can't get the 5th gen iPod .ipsw (I made sure I'm using the right file for the device) to install without this error.
Wish I had a solution for you. I suspect it may mean Apple posting a new version of the file, for those of us who can't install it.
