Disable PeerGuardian and/or let LittleSnitch talk to gs.apple.com:8080 during install.

I got this too.

At first I tried to install the beta using iTunes 8.2pre, which didn't work due to an error #6, multiple times.

Then I tried to restore the iPhone using the XCode (Beta4) organizer. The first try didn't work well, it showed me 2 connected iPhones and afterwards I got the pink screen. On the second try however things went smoothly.

So I’ve tried doing the upgrade and option click and that doesn’t work so far so I’m gonna try restore and option click see if that does the trick

@patrick did you do it with a itunes 8.2 beta or just on regular? And your saying after a couple of tries it worked

@ ryshark11 It just gives you an error and puts your phone in recovery mode.

As for the PSOD i had to do it 4 times before it worked

I like that it’s pink. Much cooler than a blue screen of death…
