I think I broke my iPhone 5?
I was trying to get iOS 7 with the leaked.ipsw and I thought everything turned out fine then it said I'm not a dev so I'm not able to restore it back to iOS 6. The only option I get in iTunes is Eject. I think if I register as a dev (99$) it would work again but i don't know: I Any advice or anything?
Added (1). @First answer. It is a real iOS 7 file as it did load up to the Welcome to iOS and it was updated like it should it just detected I wasn't part of the Dev program and it won't let me restore, or anything on iTunes other than saying I have to buy this Dev program from Apple.
Added (2). @Second. Thank you, the ipsw is downloading now. I sure hope this works!
Added (3). @Secon 2/2 Didn't work. I have the newest version of Redsn0w but it is old and does not support iOS 6+ Dx So basically I have to cough up 99$?
That sounds like a scam… Try doing a hard reset

That wasn't a leak. That was a pre-release by Apple for developers.
The only thing I can think of that might help you out is if you download the 6.1.3.ipsw and also download redsn0w. Open redsn0w, go to extras>select ipsw>load 6.1.3. Then click "Even more" and "Restore". Restore to 6.1.3 with that.
iTunes will screw you, but redsn0w is a workaround and super helpful.
- You think I could buy a iPhone 5 if i work what you guys think? You guys think that if i work at McDonald or any store i can afford to buy the iPhone 5? And pay every month
- My Iphone Broke, if i bought a used iphone could I put my sim card into that one and use it? So I have at&T and my iphone broke. I temporarily would like to buy a used 4s to use to for a little while before I buy a brand new iphone. If I bought a used Iphone 4s could I put my old sim card in and use it?
- I dropped my iphone 4s the other day in target and i think the screen broke? There are no cracks or anything on the phone but everytime i try and turn it on with the home button these weird colorful lines show up is there anyway i can fix it? "and my lock screen button is broke"
- IPhone 5 broke, can I buy a used iPhone 4 and activate it? This may seem like a silly question, but I'm not that informed about cell phone plans really… I've had a iPhone 5 for the past year and a half through Verizon. It broke today. Like full on broke nto covered by insurance… I found a Verizon iPhone 4 for sale for like 70 bucks in great condition from someone on craigslist. If I buy that, can I go into Verizon with it and have them activate it for me and have it be my new phone? Does this make sense?
