oops! it seems people are saying you can dl the gm without udid registration. i stand corrected.
Weird, I thought people were saying UDID wasn't required? Mine should be registered though,so I guess I'll wait for a link

UDID isn't required at this point, as far as I know.
I was able to install the iOS 6 beta 4 without doing any sort of registration. I found a link to download online and just shift+clicked "Check for Updates" on ITunes and selected the file. I'm guessing it's the same thing for the GM.

GM releases aren't put out OTA (Beta to GM that is). At least if you go by iOS 5's history, they specifically told developers back then to update via iTunes. I don't think iOS6 will be any different.
The public will of course be able to OTA update from 5.1.1 to 6 when it goes public as normal.
It should be, they are both made by Google.
wait till someone with a dev account uploads it or puts it into a torrent and then download it.
a google search for "download ios 6 gm" will give you a good link right up top.
huh? your phone's udid must be registered with someone. i just tried to install beta 4 on a new phone last week and it required it. i forgot to register the new udid with my dev account and it wouldn't let me complete installation.
Did you by any chance register with someone for the iOS5 beta? If that person still has an active dev license going, you'd be able to install iOS6 betas just fine.

So I have to connect to iTunes? Ugggggghhhhh
or wait for the official release..lol
I have a dev account, but nothing registered on it.

Nope. Nothing registered or signed up with.

hmmm would OTA happen for ios6? I recall Apple mentioning that big updates will still require itunes, or has that changed?
Shenanigans, I momentarily bricked my iPad when updating to Beta 4 because I had forgotten to add it in my provisions.
Better be OTA.
Haven't connected to iTunes since iCloud and I don't fancy syncing 20 or so GB of stuff.

He's talking about the GM, not the Beta.. unless I'm missing something. I've updated to the GM for iOS5 without having to register my UDID before.
I thought they said that all updates would be OTA from 5 onwards?
he said he updated to ios 6 beta 4 without having his udid registered. that's what i'm talking about, not the gm.
He's talking about Beta 4. GM doesn't require UDIDs but that's another matter.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I did any steps different compared to others. Instructions are actually on YouTube, but they're pretty standard as far as I know. The beta file wasn't modified either.
I've been successfully able to jump back and forth from iOS 5 and iOS 6 beta 4 multiple times now. I was also able to install it on my iPad (3rd gen).

not too bad.
been a while since i've upgrade by GM (since ios 5 i think!). You can restore from backup or w/e its called right?
How do you do it from icloud again?
Process should be...
backup phone
shift/command click restore and choose ipw
restore from backup
or something right?

I don't partake in these betas, but this is taking it a little too far isn't it.. it's a free product, let them play with it early if they're excited!

Umm, it's $99 for betas and GM. Not free by any stretch.

true... but when tech site like gizmodo often link to torrents for GM over the years... it's lesser gray.

Gizmodo also bought a stolen iPhone and refused to give it back, lol.
