***The iOS 5 Thread***

I don't think for GM releases you need your UDID registered because most times these seeds are public if no errors are discovered.

Now I've just got to wait forever for all my apps to sync to my phone *yawn*

Presume you're rocking iOS 5 now? Did you restore to iOS5 then just move across all of your apps etc? Does this keep intact app data (game progress etc).

What version of iTunes do you need to install this? Anyone got a link for the appropriate version? Cheers

Start a fresh, get rid of some of the junk?

10.5 beta 7.

I've just done my iPhone, got 5 pages of apps left to restore then I can go to bed, going to leave doing the iPad until the morning.

I backed up my phone (was already on iOS 5 beta 7), restored it to the GM, then restored from my backup. AFAIK thats the only way to keep app data after restoring. If you set it up as a new phone then copy your apps, it doesn't keep the data.

I would, but I'm an app-hoarder

Cheers, do you have to be a dev to get itunes beta?

 

[Jimbeam3678]

SO if I don't upgrade to GM will my Beta 7 just upgrade to public version over the air?

 

[ChrisSmith3]

Officially: Yes. However, there are links all over the net for it.

Unlikely, given the GM isn't available OTA.

 

[Skyboat]

Can anyone confirm you don't need your device's UDID registered to activate iOS 5 GM?

EDIT: Just read a bit further up. Not concrete, but worth risking

Yeah thought so, downloaded one but I just get iTunes has expired message. I thought it was the latest beta. Will try another..

Would anyone like to be a peer by creating a torrent with the direct IPSW for the iPhone 4 GSM release please? I am 99.9% through......

EDIT Ignore, i just deleted the torrent and will try later.

Guys, my iPhone 5 GSM has been dowloaded as a dmg file type? Is this right? (on Win 7)

 

[randal]

iPhone 4 GSM ipsw = iPhone3,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw correct?

Cheers

You need the ipsw, the dmg is Mac only as far as I know!

correct.

Can be unzipped though it's just an image like an iso.

See what mrbell1984 said, give that a try!

 

[randal]

Cheers mrbell, noticed 10.5 beta 9 is out there for grabs too. First link in Google, persist and the 500 errors give way to a torrent DL.

Most links or either dead or extremely slow. The iPhone 5 GM is been hammered tonight. The weird thing is I'm surprised I haven't sae more different links appear since there are a lot of developers with accounts.
