iPhone not eligible for build

[Foxtrot5]

Hey guys,

So I tried updating my 4.3.2 iPhone 4 to 4.3.3 today but I keep getting a "your device is not eligible for this build" error. What the heck is going on? It's not even jailbroken and never has been considering Apple replaced it last week. How do I fix this?

WHat tool are you using and what version?

[Foxtrot5]

iTunes and the latest one

It's not jailbroken

[Cowboy]

Oh and your just trying to update?

Do you get an error code number?

[Foxtrot5]

Just trying to update and no I didn't get a number.

Hmm download the firmware and manually try and install it

I had similar problem when updating the iPad 4.3.2 -> 4.3.3. The following solution, found in the Apple Support Communities, worked for me.


Edit your hosts file.

Remove the line containing: "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gs.apple.com"

Then try the update again.

Hope this helps!

The xxx's, of course, representing some numbers
