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?

This does not work. After downloading 6.1.3 it states can not downgrade when trying from DFU mode....

Trying it for a third time.

Restored to ios6

Held down option+check for update and then selected the appropriate file iPhone5,2_7.0_11A4372q_Restore.ipsw and then it says it found 7.0 and will update it.

Hoping this works...

This isn't working for me either! Can anyone confirm that the xcode option works?

GOT IT WORKING! 🙂 Thanks guys! I downloaded devx which I hadn't yet installed before so maybe that did the trick.

Didn't work through xcode for me.

Trying the update method through iTunes now, will see if that works.

It is working for me. Did not need xcode.

1. search for ios 6.1.4 ipsw file through google. download it.

2. put phone into dfu mode. Google how to do it if you don't know.

3. restore back to ios 6.1.4

4. after restore is complete, press option and update in itunes and select the ios 7 file you downloaded from the developer page.

5. let itunes do its thing.

6. voila - ios 7 on your phone.

This worked for me; although I skipped the step where you restored from iCloud, and it did give me an option to restore from iCloud after I upgraded to iOS7. THANKS!!
