I am going to assume you are getting the error 4027 when trying to update/restore iOS 7. I'm also going to assume you are not a developer who is legitimately using iOS 7. So if you foolishly have tried it anyware from one of the many fraudulent sites out there what you need to do to resolve your problem is put your iPhone in DFU mode and Restore it from backup on your computer. This will return it to iOS 6.1.3 or 6.1.4 depending on the model iPhone you have.

Well, I am trying to do that, but I actually am a registered developer who obtained it all legally through the Apple developer site, which is why I am confused...


The only references I can find to this error has people getting flamed for bringing it up outside of developer forums... But the issue is on iOS6, so nothing that I can find within the developer formus applies... (if I could even get to them, since they are down...)


I have 6 other devices, including another Verizon 4S working properly, just this one is having the error...

I installed the beta 2 on it about a month ago, but the updates have never worked, the phone has always indicated that iOS7 was up to date even though it never performed an update, so clearly sopmething was wrong.


Because of this I downloaded Beta 4 and attempted to update it manually, but I got that error, at which point I connected the iPhone in RM and restored it, which brought it back to iOS6.1.3 (which I did not expect)... and I continue to get the 4027 error now...
