On one of my phones, I had an additional problem of being locked out of iTunes as the iPhone was passcode protected. iTunes said to enter my passcode; I could not, as the only iPhone screens I had access to were the purple upgrade screen and emergency calls.

I had to put that phone in restore mode (turn off the phone, turn it on while holding the power button and the home button until the apple logo shows up – about 10 seconds). To avoid fatal errors, I had to hold down the option key when I clicked the iTunes restore button – and select the newly downloaded beta 5 ipsw file. After that, all was well.

Hope this helps.

So your beta 5 is something different then the 7A312g build? If so can you direct me to a place I can download it? I'm a beta tester and am currently out of touch with the developer who put me on his developer list. I'm using an iPod Touch 2G.
