UDIDead
Activate iOS Betas WITHOUT UDID activation!


Apple place restrictions on who can install the iOS betas, The only way you can legitimately install iOS betas is if you get your UDID registered with an iOS developer.
UDIDead bypasses the need to either purchase the iOS developer program or get your best hacker friend to register your UDID by simply using a redsn0w bundle.



This tutorial assumes you've updated to iOS 6 and your device is ≤A4
(equal or less than).


Step One:

You're going to need to download the latest version of redsn0w (Win or Mac) and run it with the argument -S* (make sure it's a capital S).
Click 'Extras' then 'Select IPSW' and browse for the iOS 5.1.1 firmware for your device.
Download links for iOS 5.1.1 are available at You must login or register to view this content..


Step Two:

Download the UDIDead bundle for your firmware version from the below, then in redsn0w, click 'Jailbreak', follow the instructions to enter DFU mode, then wait until presented with the option to select a custom bundle.
When given the option, browse for the UDIDead bundle you just downloaded and click 'Next'.

Step Three:

After redsn0w has finished, your device will reboot and activate with iTunes.

LOOK HERE EVERYONE.

IF YOU TRY THIS IT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. DO NOT ASK ME FOR HELP, DO NOT COMPLAIN. IOS BETAS ARE MEANT FOR IOS DEVELOPERS ONLY. IF IT DOESN'T WORK, DO NOT MESSAGE ME OR COMPLAIN.
I NEVER SAID IT WAS 100% WORKING.

TAKE THE RISKS OR DO NOT TRY AT ALL.

This is best used if you have a spare iDevice, do not update your main iDevice, not much really works in the first beta of iOS releases.

You should just add a notice. People need to realize that this is made for Developers and thats the only people they released it to for a reason. Especially for like Beta 1 or the early betas Apple doesn't want people screwing up their everyday phone. It's not smart to update your primary iPhone/iPod/iPad to the Beta 1 either wait until closer to the release maybe around September then download the beta because it will be in like Beta 4 or just wait until the official release.

If you guys can't do these simple things, I don't think you should be trying out the beta, just saying. I posted this from another page, I have not done it, nor will I because I have my UDID activated. Please do not ask me for help, because I can't.

LOOK HERE EVERYONE.

Guys I've found a better way because this way didn't work and I got a "errno=7" error when trying to do this.

This is what I have found works:
1. Restore the device to iOS 5.1.1
2. Activate it using iTunes
3. Then shift+click the update button once activated
4. Then select the iOS 6.0 ipsw and update
5. Then you won't have to activate iOS 6!

I hope that worked I am currently in the process of testing out this claim, I'll edit this post if it works!
