iOS 10 public beta install fail

[T5BRICK]

I was able to install the public beta on my 6+ without any issues, but my wife is unable to install it on her 6s.

Try

Nope. Didn't work for me. iPad Air 2 64 cellular.

The only solution I found is to install the 2nd dev beta through iTunes. I wanted to avoid this at first, but caved in the end. It's the same build as the public beta and worked just fine on my 6s. You will need a Mac to do this - no go on Windows, I'm afraid.

1. Install the Xcode 8 beta (required) and open it to make sure the installation is completed
2. Download the appropriate IPSW for your device
3. Install via iTunes:
   1. Plug in your iPhone and go to the iPhone section
   2. Hold down the option key and select the IPSW file
   3. Wait!

I still had the public beta profile installed when I did this, so I can't say whether or not it's required.

Here's a list of things I tried that didn't work:

1. Reboot iPhone
2. Hard reset iPhone
3. Remove and reinstall beta profile
4. Reinstall beta profile without removing
5. Remove Apple Watch profile (I had previously installed it)
6. Reset network settings
7. Reset all settings
8. Reinstall 9.3.2 via an IPSW
9. Change iPhone date back to July 1st
10. Disable my local OS X Software Caching Service (this will cache the beta, and could actually be an issue for a few people if the cached copy is corrupted somehow - if you're trying to do this from work, they may also have a Software Caching Service set up)
11. Stubbornly just keep retrying over and over and over hoping it would suddenly work for no reason at all

My guess is this is an issue with the OTA version being served, not a local device issue. If you tried any/all of the above, save your sanity and use the dev beta 2 IPSW or wait for the next public beta release

'iOS 10 public beta install fail' because YOU can't install it? Perhaps you need to be looking closer to home

I did the exact same method shown by 9to5Mac, EverythingApplePro and the Apple Public Beta website. Surely it can't be my own fault.

Install went just fine on my 6s Plus. My daughter's 6 (I legit can't remember if she has the "s"--I'm thinking yes) is a no go. I can download the profile. I enter her passcode and agree to the terms. Then I click "Download and Install" and the link turns gray. Then after a few seconds it turns back blue as though I never pushed it. Never get the "Update Requested" box. I must've tried like 20 times!

I'm having the same problem with my iPhone SE, seems to fully download the Public Beta as it counts down as finished then pop up message saying Software Update Failed an error occurred downloading iOS 10 public beta 1.

I have even tried with a developer profile that I found on a YouTube video, installed the profile, restarted iPhone, download and install iOS 10 developer beta 2 but then does the same thing as the Public Beta.

I'm not sure why iPhone SE is having problems when older iPhones, etc are able to download the public beta

I just did it guys! After about 30 attempts in 2 days... and before I stopped trying. I tried to think what made it fail and thought that maybe it had something to do with my location (I'm in Thailand).

I decided to use 'opera VPN' to spoof my location to the USA and boom! Got it in the first try!

I'm on a 6s. Maybe apple is picky about who gets to use the beta

Anyone please try it out, I'm not sure if I'm just being lucky or this method of VPN really works. Good luck people!

 

[RawritsKieran]

I can confirm this VPN method works, thank you so much for this.

Went to the App Store and searched for Opera VPN downloaded the app followed the instructions and changed the location to US (since I live in the UK) went to software update to try again to this time it downloaded and said preparing to install then did the install process. I now have iOS 10 public beta 1 on my iPhone SE hopefully it should work on the other affected devices

Thank you sankids....I can confirm as well that this method using Opera VPN app and changing location to US works. After dozens of failed download errors on my iPhone SE in the UK, it is now finally downloading Public Beta 1 update.

Thanks for the info. I had tried so many times and never got through. I finally did it because of u. Thanks again..

Confirmed again here in the UK. Plenty of oddness keyboard side but all my apps seem to work so far.

If anyone can tell me a simple way to get a full list of all my apps I'll upload for all to see

I did the Opera VPN as well and changed my location to the US, even though I am already located in the US (Washington) and it finally worked, after 3 days of trying everything! I did have to download the Beta policy first, to get the OTA beta in my software update update screen (I had previously removed policy and unrolled from the program via apple website for fresh start) before turning on the VPN in my settings because it would just say error. But once I got everything set up, I turned it on and selected download and it finally cycled though.

 

[sankids]

I'm glad that the VPN method I discovered works!

So it seems to be some odd connection issues at apples end affecting people around the globe.

Spread the news guys

Worked for me too

Finally got it to work on my daughter's phone. Only thing different from my MULTIPLE prior attempts is that her phone was charged to 100%. Smh.

After 4 days of trying to install on my SE I finally stumbled on the Opera VPN solution (elsewhere though) and although it took 2 hours to download instead of 12 minutes, it worked perfectly.

I am in Slovakia so a US vpn was needed it seems.
