Hey, that happened to me too! Thought for a second they turned developer UDID checks back on, but I'm not sure. Just installed the public beta instead, since it's at the same build #.

Just go through the public Beta and download it OTA.

It looks like an issue on Apple's side. I tried to install on the iPhone6s, iPad mini and iPod touch 5th gen and getting the same error message. They all update with the OTA method.

Yeah, just tried 9.2 beta 3 and right now its restoring, after this im gonna update to beta 4 from beta 3... but i was quite interested in restore it via ipsw because it's more clean than doing OTA...

I was really irritated about this error, I spent many hours trying to troubleshoot this, but couldn't find any solution. I didn't even think of trying the previous beta. I restored 9.2 beta 3 (developer version). That worked, which proved the premise that it is an Apple issue and not something on my side.

I was so perplexed on what was happening I went as far as reformatting my computer and my devices. Did anyone put this in as a bug in developer center?

I'm surprised the file has still not been fixed by Apple. It has been reported and I even came across an Apple developer forum discussion on it. That seems like a fix that would come fairly quickly.

did the same thing today,first downloaded beta 3 - restored and updated to beta 4 from OTA

must be an issue with Apple side.

tried to change hosts settings on my pc but no luck.

the ipsw files may be corrupted or not uploaded properly..
