I'm getting the "you device is not eligible for requested build" error in iTunes. Never had this before. Anyone here who did successfully activate?

Same thing here.. I was searching the error in Google and found a bunch of blog/forum posts saying that adding the following comment line to /etc/hosts, restarting iTunes, and trying it works:

# 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

I was totally skeptical because it's a comment line, but I thought, "wtf, i'll give it a shot. it's just the hosts file." and it worked.

iPhone is restoring now with 9a5274d.

Try updating OTA, it worked perfectly for me.

Thanks, that did it for me.

Perhaps you have TinyUmbrella installed?
