[pcuserforever]

any word how itunes 10.5 will treat a jailbroken iphone4?

[confucious]

MN is at Defcon - I don't think anyone else is brave enough to try....

Restored from iCloud. Stuck with Apple screen and status bar at 0. Phone will not restore or anything. Please help.

strange.
with each update I've been forced to primarily update iTunes then back up and sync.
then restore to new ipsw then restore from back up.

else i can't back up or i get an error

[confucious]

That's because it's still Beta...

Stop telling people you have to erase first!!! That is just not true. All legit iOS users with a developer license can update via the software update option on the iDevice.

Installing now

[confucious]

Not sure what your problem is - but I had to delete before the update showed.

Stop spouting BS just because it worked for you. I have tried everything an OTA still reports no new software.

And I am a legitimate developer.

Both my i4 and 3GS are on the same account, legit account. And the i4 showed an update but the 3GS did not. So yes I had to erase to get it to show on the 3GS.

So we will continue to tell people to do that.

I'm jailbroken using redsn0w 0.9.8b4 and the iOS 5 Beta 4, iPhone2,1_5.0_9A5274d_Restore.ipsw

iPhone 3Gs iOS 5 Beta 5

Edit: I spoke too soon, I can't get past the pineapple

Im back on 4.3.5 and I cannot update to iOS5 B5. I was on iOS5 b4 and I crashed during update. The best I can get back to is iOS4.3.5 via another computer, but I cannot upgrade from that computer and I cannot upgrade from the original computer with the latest iTunes. Any ideas?

When Apple gives instructions on how to use their beta software, common sense generally holds that it's a good idea to heed their warning.

I did the erase all content and settings and now I don't have any signal and phone will not activate. Cannot make phone calls now. Wtf. Btw I'm not jail broken.

Yeah thanks... Be that as it may, my phone does not work... i have a dev account and I am a dev. Any advice other than "read the warning" would be helpful.

If you are a dev and have a dev account then the apple developer forums may be a better place to ask for support with issues with a beta. Especially considering the whole NDA thing

That being said more info then "it crashed" may help us help you better. Error numbers etc.

I didn't even know there was an OTA till 4 or 5 hours afterwards, when it notified me on my phone. I then clicked update now, (without erasing settings) and it worked fine. lolz.

[reznor9]

i erased settings and content and now I selected to update to beta 5... it gets through most of the process and then says FAILED.. Ive tried 3 times already... any advice?

[karlegas]

Still cannot touch it, will lose my 01.59.00 baseband

We are in the same boat, I can not install the beta 3 because fail and the beta 4 was not snowbreeze version to jailbreak and kepp the baseband.

Maybe this time ih8snow release the version 2.9 for the IOS 5 beta 5

Indeed. JHoffy, I apologize for coming off as curt (the post was not directed at you, or any other non-quoted poster), but provide us with some more information--help us help you. Xcode device logs/console output is something else you may want to send our way if it's relevant.

EDIT @ Karl: You can try (if you're willing to risk getting hung up somewhere in the process, such is the risk of beta software) using TinyUmbrella's TSS server to stop the iPhone 4 baseband upgrade (ONLY FOR iPHONE 4) and then running Fix Recovery to try and bypass the resulting recovery loop. Only problems are, I don't believe TU has been updated for the 5.0 betas, and of course, there could be all kinds of problems with that baseband on that firmware (plus Ultrasn0w probably will NOT work on 5.0 as-is).
