    You'll need some things:

    • An supported iDevice
    • IOS 5.1.1 or 5.1
    • IOS 6 beta 1 (Go see a friend who has it)
    • iTunes 10.6.3
    So first thing you need to do is a freshrestore to 5.1.1 or 5.1, it wouldn't be wise to use a jailbroken device.
    Then complete the setup until you are on your homescreen. Then just update (restoring your device WILL NOT work!) (edit: press shift key+update on windows or option key+update on mac)

    EDIT: I've tested in on all BETA firmwares, works on every singe one of them.

    That's the only thing. It works without UDID. Have fun with IOS 6.

    I thought giving out the ISPW was illegal. Is it?
