What if my iPhone is in iOS 8 Beta and I can't use my lock button?
I have an iPhone 5 and it is iOS 8 Beta (kind of). How do I have it? I don't know! My older brother did all this. He used my phone as a test subject to make sure that his phone doesn't get an error. Now that my phone is done for, I'm not letting him touch it ever again!
I have an activation error saying that I'm not within the Apple developer program. I've been looking up instructions on how to restore it back to iOS 7. Most of the instructions say that I have to use the lock button and the home button at the same time and put my phone in 'recovery mode'.
Why didn't I do this? Well… My lock button is broken. I've been using gestures (That square looking thing that is on your iPhone screen to help you press buttons). So in other words, I can't get it back to iOS 7.
I bet some of you are gonna ask me to take my iPhone to an Apple store. Yes I would do that. But would they care, if I had iOS 8 on my phone and I'm not an Apple developer. Are they gonna call the cops on me or something, confiscate my phone or call the SWAT forces. This is the type of situation that I'm in.
(Yes I'm willing to pay around $50 AUD to get my lock button fixed.)
Your device needs to get its UDID activated for it to use the iOS 8 beta. I believe this may be your only option since you can't put it into DFU mode to restore to iOS 7. Go here to figure out how to get your UDID activated and that should fix your problem https://iosudids.com/ios-blog/getting-your-udid/
You need to register your device's UDID with a developer account through a site like http://www.udid.in/ for $5. Then you'll be able to activate.

- Is it possible to replace the home button and the lock screen button on a iPhone? I've had my iPhone for about 2 months now, and the buttons are starting not to work. Besides the buttons my iPhone is in perfect condition. My phone carrier is straight talk, from Walmart. They don't offer insurance or a warranty or anything like that. So I was wondering if it was possible to replace these buttons?
