Cannot download iOS 10.1 Public Beta on new iPhone 7 Plus

what system software version did u update from to go to 10.1?

Had a question.

Since i want to restore to my new iphone 7 Plus. Can i downgrade my existing phone from beta 4 to 10.0.3 through itunes and then restore my new phone (which is already on 10.0.3)

Will it still keep my infomation, apps, etc in place?

ok i have iphone 7 plus from the first day and got nothing problem..all betas is install very good along with the last beta 5

but yersterday i bought another iphone 7 plus and its not working its very strange how come?why the first iphone 7 plus works good with betas and the second that i just bought cant find the update?

i thing apple change somthing in the newer iphones....maybe the first one got connect to the servers few weeks ago then its some how register and the new phones cant register no more lolll i really dont know very weird!!!

You have to have matching iOS's on your new phone and your back-up. Your new phone comes with a release version of iOS and your back-up has a beta version. Do a fresh release install and start up as a new user. Then, on your phone, download the beta and install. Now you can do a restore from iCloud or iTunes. One more thing, developer beta and public beta are two different things.

I'm having exactly the same problem. It's really annoying.

Same problem here. I took the steps I read on various message boards including deleting the beta profile multiple times and reinstalling, reinstalling the iOS multiple times, reseting preferences, and I believe doing the hokey pokey at some point. Nothing. Very frustrating to not only be locked out of the beta but to be unable to restore from my backup and forced to reset my world from scratch.

Same problem here on Iphone 7Plus, not able to update to 10.1 beta from 10.0.3, getting "Your software is up to date" eventhough beta prodile is installed. Anybody able to update please advise, clarification form Apple would be appreciated

I have the same issue. iPhone 7 Plus, Profile installed. "Your Software is up-to-date"

Contacted AppleCare and was told to wait for the GM release of 10.1

Me too... If u have any news, please send us!!!!

If you have the way, please help us!!!! Rgds

Hi

Any idea when the GM is set for release?

Thanks

Only Apple knows that right now.

Some other responses here have suggested that it will release on the same day as the upcoming media event next week.

Seems like something that Apple might do.

Hi

Not long to wait I guess to find out.

I've noticed that when I downloaded the iOS Dev Profile, the Feedback App wasn't installed :-s

Guys,

As per my post below had the same issue. I even exchanged the phone. Nothing worked. Until I found this!!!!!!!!

Make sure you do the Restore Image

Installing iOS beta Software on your device using the Restore Image

1. Download the iOS beta software restore image for your device from the Apple Developer download page.
2. Ensure you are running the latest version of iTunes on your Mac.
3. Open iTunes on your Mac.
4. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your computer with the cable that came with your device.
5. If a message asks for your device passcode or to Trust This Computer, follow the onscreen steps. If you forgot your passcode, get help.
6. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod when it appears in iTunes.
7. In the Summary panel, hold the Option key and click the Check for Update button.
8. Select the iOS beta software restore image from step 1 and click Open to begin installation.
9. After installing the beta, your device will reboot and will require a network connection to complete activation.

Hope it works for you too!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!

This is exactly my problem. I can't restore the phone because the back up is the latest public beta and iTunes refuses the restore because 10.0.3 is "too old".

Sadly, being a public beta user, I don't think this will work for me.
When I attach my 7 plus via the cable, it asks if I want to set it up as new or restore.

Does this approach assume that I've gone ahead with the new setup?
Also, would you provide a link to the page with the image file, I'm not confident I'm looking at the right one.

Apologies, not a total newbie but really want to get this right.

This works only for Paid Developer accounts. Sadly not Public Beta users. 😟

no my friend i dont have dev account!!!!!! i really dont im like you

but look try to have the beta profile install on your device restart as you should then the phone think you dev lollllll then update :-)

now it will work!!!!!

well????

im waiting you to enjoy the beta 5 solid rock plz do it it works 100%🙂

Fantastic, I am a developer, but had the same problems as above, curious how my 1st iPhone 7+ worked fine using the OTA updates, picked up a new Jet Black 7+ this am and ran into the same issues everyone else is having. However your solution works perfectly and you do not need to install XCode etc. It has allowed me to restore my previous backup. Many thanks, elegant solution. 🙂

Can you post the link or the acutal beta software restore image. As I am not a developer, i do not have access to this so I cannot restore my phone. The only options I have is to downloat xcode or xcode beta. Thanks

i gave you the link dont you see?

Hi

I have a Developer Account and followed the steps as suggested by Konrad_T but when I get to step 8, the restore image file is greyed out and therefore wont allow me to select it. Any ideas why its greyed out?

Thanks

Barry

No link can be seen?

I have the same problem as everybody else. Jet Black 7+ I was running 10.1 beta 5 yesterday, and been running the all the 10.1 betas with no problems. Then yesterday I had to backup and erase/restore my device under AT&T's instruction to complete my SIM unlock. Been fighting it for 2 days stuck on 10.0.3 with no way to get back on the betas.

I do not have a paid developer account. I am going to downgrade to 10.0.2 and then try to install the 10.1 beta from there. Has anybody tried that yet?

EDIT: Also want to mention I could care less about restoring my 10.1 backup, I just want to get back on the beta and don't mind starting from scratch (actually I prefer it)
