iTunes 10.5 ready, iPad backed up.

So is it best to restore normally or do a DFU restore? I always DFU'd my iPhone but that was because it was jailbroken, which the iPad isn't.

Just a regular restore. No need to waste time putting it in DFU.

Anyone got any news of a jailbreak?

Wouldn't be surprised if the community had one ready, but obviously they won't be releasing it until people have had chance to upgrade. Letting Apple close it before then would be an awful waste.

Mine keeps getting about halfway through then grinds to a halt.
Doesn't help that my BT Infinity line is being lame this week...

549mb so far and now at a total crawl

25 mins before I went in the shower...

15 mins later and its reporting 45 mins.

Hmmm.. Apple don't do maths..

Berserker · 12 Oct 2011 at 19:00

It'll be getting hammered. Not surprising really. Assuming it's about 730MB and a million people are trying tonight, that's 730,000,000,000,000 bytes (730TB) to come from somewhere. :eek:

The extra filesize relates to the fact that you don't have to restore-update the phone with the non-dev download. You can just straight update the firmware.

Home sharing works absolutely fine for me and have you perhaps thought that the OTA updates don't work because... There's no OTA updates yet.

Have you perhaps thought that Software Update shouldn't error and just say that 5.0 is the latest version? Not come up with "An error occurred while checking for a software update".

Also running iOS5 GM on my 3GS and wondering whether or not I should restore to the release (even though build number is the same).

Rizo-UK · 12 Oct 2011 at 19:00

just under 800mb :O

Chandler_90 · 12 Oct 2011 at 19:01

Clearly my 50mb line is too small for this download lol

They've said they're got at least 5 bootrom exploits waiting to be used, so you can pretty much guarantee there's going to be an untethered jailbreak coming out fairly soon

What, in the same way that News Stand didn't actually allow you to click through to its section on the App Store up until an hour ago? The difference being, News Stand serves a purpose as of now. The OTA software update feature doesn't, so why would they rush into putting resources into sticking up a message when they've got a lot more to worry about?

That's a fair point. I didn't know about Newsstand because I don't and probably will never use it.

That work for 3GS and 4?

Nope it didn't work for my 3GS

baron02 · 12 Oct 2011 at 19:07

as I said no harm in me doing a restore ! my time and effort being wasted for maybe nothing.

Berserker · 12 Oct 2011 at 19:08

Userland? They'll be tethered then. But we'll see.

So, should I restore-update or just go for it?

What? They've found exploits in the A5 bootrom, where's the correction?
