[TUTORIAL] How to install the iOS 10 beta and solution to iTunes error 14

iOS 10

After Apple revealed the details of iOS 10 in all its glory in the last Keynote of WWDC, and as usual, after having released the first beta for users enrolled in the Apple Developer Program, it is likely that many are eager to get their hands on the latest version of the mobile operating system from the Cupertino company. But those who are not registered in the Apple Developer Program, will have to wait a little longer, until July, when the first public beta is released.

If you just can't wait to have your iPhone, iPad or iPod with the new iOS, in iPad News we present this tutorial so you can install iOS 10 beta without having to register to get a developer account. And yes, you don't have to have your UDID registered. We remind you that installation is the responsibility of each user.

This method involves the installation of a verified Apple configuration profile that triggers an OTA update to the firmware beta. As is known, before any modification or beta installation, it is recommended that backup your device to iCloud or iTunes before starting. Make sure you back up your data in case something goes wrong or if you decide to restore later. In addition, it is a priority that you check if your device is compatible with iOS 10 Apple.

How to install iOS 10

  • Step 1: Open Safari on the device, copy and open the following link.
  • Step 2: Download the profile for the device by clicking on the upper right button on «Direct download«.
  • Step 3: The next screen will open the profile to install, now we give Install. After the profile is installed, the device will reboot.
  • Step 4: Once the device has rebooted, you go to Settings> General> Software update and you will already find the OTA update for iOS 10 as a Beta Developer.
  • Step 5: Will start to download and install On your device, now you make yourself a coffee, you sit down and wait for it to finish.

Once the device has been updated, it must be rebooted to display the first beta of iOS 10.

Solution to iTunes error 14

When it comes to the iOS 10 installation will always be easier to do via OTA. This requires the installation of a profile that tells Apple's servers that the iPhone or iPad in question is available for beta software, and is very easy to set up and run (as we showed in the tutorial above). However, some still prefer to do these things the old-fashioned way, using a Mac. And this is where the problem might start.

A few people who have tried to install iOS 10 beta 1 on their devices through iTunes have received a error message 14.

At this point iTunes refuses to continue and the user is left with a device that won't boot, stuck in limbo between iOS 9 and iOS 10. A problem we don't want to go through.

As a result, the solution is very simple indeed and anyone who reads Apple's release on the beta version of iOS 10 will immediately know where the error is. As it turns out, anyone who wants to use an IPSW image file for restoration either to update an iOS device will have to have the latest beta version of Xcode installed also, this means that they must have installed Xcode 8.

Fortunately, Xcode 8 is now available on Apple's developer portal, but with a weight of almost 6 GB, the installation is going to take some time.

    Hi good afternoon

    I have installed the beta since yesterday afternoon, but something very curious happens to me, when I get a WhatsApp message and I see it on the unlock screen, if I slide my finger to the left it gives me the option to answer it, and when I'm writing after about 30 seconds the screen locks and turns black, that is, the same gesture you do when you press the lock and unlock button turns on and the screen goes to sleep. Could you help me and advise me on what I can do about it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello, I installed the beta of iOS 10 and it has many problems, applications are closed and everything, when trying to restore my iPhone there is still "traces" of the beta, I tried to do the DFU restoration and it does not leave me either, something comes out of the firmware does not is it compatible or it just won't let me .. I don't know how to go back to iOS 9.3.2, this beta has already screwed me up .. If there is any solution for my case I would appreciate it too much, thank you very much in advance, Greetings!

    Hello everyone, on the one hand I wanted to tell everyone who has problems or doubts that if they go to the page that Apple enables for betas, you can find a way to install the beta (from there you can download the development profile) , I have an account and I do not have it paid, so I suppose it is open for everyone who creates the development account, and they will also find a way to reverse the update, the page is http://www.beta.apple.com . I hope it helps you, I have an iPhone 6S and I already have iOS 10 downloaded, but I'm still wondering whether to install it 🙂
