I had IOS 5.0 beta 6 on my phone and did an over the air update.
It downloaded, then rebooted, and now it just constantly reboots.
Apple Logo -> White distorted screen looks like iTunes / Cable logo, then auto reboots again.
I cant get it into DFU either or plugging it in normally cant doa regular restore.

Any advice?
 
Were you jailbroken on ios5b6? OTA updates do not work on jailbroken devices. You will have to put it into DFU mode to restore, all devices can enter DFU mode.
 
No, i was not jailbroken on IOS5b6 and my IOS5b5 -> IOS5b6 OTA update worked fine.

After persisting, we finally got it into DFU (iTunes detected) then put it into recovery mode.
I tried to restore 4.3.5 but this ended up with an "unknown error 1015"
Im downloading the IOS5 beta 6 IPSW and going to try put that back on.
Any suggestions ?
 
I tried that earlier, and it just kept re-entering Recovery.
After trying to restore to normal 4.3.5 and then downloading the full IOS5b6 IPSW, i was then able to restore back to the IOS5b6 IPSW.
Guess ill leave it for now, and not trust OTA updates again for a while :) untill its at least out of beta
Thansk for all your help.
 
No problem, glad you got it figured out! iOS5 beta is a pain! I'm just gonna wait until it gets released publicly and gets jailbroken
