How To Download & Install iOS 7 Without Developer Account or UDID

Apple have done their thing again and its still the talk of the ecosystem.
iOS 7 is still the most beautiful iOS ever made as far as some are concerned and some think otherwise. One thing is that one will not truly appreciate what has been done on the device by John Ive until you use this iOS on your device.

Although, normally you shouldn't be able to download and install iOS 7 on your device without a developer account or UDID, but here we shall show you how to do this without UDID or developer account.

Requiremnts
  • iPhone 5, 4S, 4
  • iTunes 11
  • Internet Connection
Warnings:
1. You would lose your jailbreak and wont be able to jailbreak after installing iOS 7
2. Don't update if you depend on Hacktivation of your device. If you do, you won't be able to get into your device.
3. You can downgrade back to your previous iOS when you get tired of iOS 7

Procedures
1. Download the appropriate IPSW for your device and place on your desktop. (other download links at the end of the post)

2. Plug in your device to the computer and launch iTunes

3. At the summary page, press down your Shift key for Windows computer and Alt key for Mac computers and click on Check for Updates. DON'T click Restore iPhone.


4. Now select your initial downloaded iOS 7 IPSW from your Desktop.

5. iTunes would begin restoring and after its done, you would be in iOS 7, the beautiful and sleek iOS 7 running on your devices.

There it is folks, go and try out the new iOS 7 beta and give us your feedback. If you run into any problem, drop a comment and help would come.

      I believe it's a function of your Internet connection. For a good connection, it should take between 20-30 minutes.

      @Anonymous, I did experience I too on iPhone 4. However I think it's because it's still at the beta stage so th bugs would be there but will be resolved in newer beta versions that would be released

    I absolutely cannot get this onto my phone, help! It downloaded properly but i have windows 8 so it asked me how to open the file, I chose itunes and nothing happened. i then proceeded to follow the above steps and put it onto my desk top, but no matter what i try, my itunes is insisting I have the latest update already (ios 6) and doesnt give me any other options. What am I doing wrong?!

      You downloaded the IPSW(make sure its not set to open with WinRar as the default program) and saved it on your Desktop, launch itunes, use the shift key and click Update iPhone.
      From the box, select your downloaded IPSW and click OK.
      iTunes would restore to it.

    Hi. I have a friend with a developer ID that gave me the file download for iOS 7 beta 2. I have followed all your steps to install it, but every time I press alt, click 'check for updates' and select the ipsw, I get an error message from itunes stating "The iPhone 'Siena's iPhone' could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible." Any suggestions? Thanks

  14. PhonegistJune 25, 2013 at 2:34 AM

    Hello Siena, please specify your device type (iPhone 4, 4S or 5) so that I can point you to the right download link. Remember there's CDMA and GSM version of iOS 7.

    Also, it could be that your iOS 7 download was incomplete and as such couldn't identify it.

    Finally, make sure the extension of the firmware is ending in ipsw. E.g A10325_iOS7.ipsw

    Give these suggestions a try. However, iOS 7 beta 2 is out and you should considere that as it offer better and richer iOS 7 with Voice memo included. You can read about it here http://goo.gl/EyPpF

    I have an iPhone 5, and live in the US. When I went to download there were two options - the 28 model or 29. I downloaded the 29, but now I'm wondering if that may have been incorrect? The extension is correct. I will try downloading the file again tomorrow.

  16. PhonegistJune 25, 2013 at 3:38 AM

    Okay, you should do that. However, like i said earlier, beta 2 (http://goo.gl/EyPpF) is what you should aim to download this time around.

How To Root Tecno Phantom A (Tecno F7)

There are no limit to the possibilities one can achieve on a rooted Android device compared to one that isn't rooted. As you know, Rooting is to Androin as Jailbreak is to iOS.

Tecno M3 Specifications and Features

Tecno is making the news again after a slight break. This time around Tecno have released a low-end smartphone called Tecno M3 for those that are on a tight budget.  This phone comes with 8GB internal memory card, USB adapter & charger, earphone and a plastic case. Although Tecno L3 and D3 are almost the same with M3, M3 has a better camera (5mp) with more swift feel especially when browsing. L3 on the other hand has a better battery performance but much slower internet speed. As we said in one of our posts, the 3 is a designation for low-end devices and the newly released L3 and M3 is proof of that. For a device of the price, feel and usage is smooth enough. Make sure you check the speaker of your M3 since some have reported that its not too clear. Below is the specifications of the M3 low-end smartphone. Network : the new M3 supports both 2G and 3G networks Connectivity : Bluetooth 3.0 with Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). It also has
