betaiosiphone
I keep getting these, awful, pop-ups – almost every time I open my phone from lock.
A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 11 beta.
I'm on 11.2 (15C5092b).
Software Update page says:
iOS 11.2
Your software is up to date.
So: What is this mess? and How do I get rid of it?
The activation servers were overwhelmed presumably by the volume of activity on launch day. Now activation fails for a different reason - Apple is no longer signing iOS 6 software during the restore process.
Once you get your OS activated either through iTunes or over the air, you will be able to load your backup as you had planned.
Apple would surely make it easier on a segment of its customer base if the service status page were kept updated thusly….
Have you tried doing it using iTunes after connecting the phone to a computer - Mac or a PC? That should work technically. You should be able to set the phone up as new if everything else fails.
Don't rely on the OTA, especially coz it's the old version of the OS you'll be getting.

I’ve been getting this too. I fixed it by removing the iOS beta software profile by going to Settings → General → Profiles, select the Apple beta profile and hit remove. Restart your phone once removed.
Of course doing this removes the phone from receiving further beta updates, but retains the current iOS installed. You shouldn’t need minor iOS updates for development anyways.
