Hey everyone! With the release of iOS 8.0 on the apple development center today I thought I'd go ahead and make this tutorial for users wanting iOS 8.0 but don't want to register as a developer nor want to register their UDID. So without further adieu.. The tutorial. Step 1 : Download the .IPSW file pertaining to your specific iDevice. Download Page (Provided by IMZDL) Devices that can update to iOS 8 Step 2 : Open iTunes and check that it's the newest version - 11.2.2.3 Step 3 : Backup your iDevice, and then while holding "Shift" ("Option" on Mac I believe), click on "Check for Update". Locate your .IPSW file you downloaded earlier and click "Open". The update will begin. Step 4 : Do not touch your iDevice or iTunes. Let the process finish and update your device. Step 5 : Once the updating has finished, you should now be running iOS 8.0 Beta 1 on your iDevice. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them. I will get back to you ASAP. If you run into an activation error in iTunes, just Shift+Click Check for Update and do the process over again. Cheers.

I got it the first time I did it too. There's no sure-fire way to get around it besides trying again.
