thats what i did, but then to update you have to install it thru iTunes right? that's when i get the error. or isthere any other way to update without using iTunes?

I did that but it seems there's no correct file for it to open.. i couldn't find the ipsw file from what i downloaded..

Theres no way to restore/upgrade an iPhone OS without iTunes.Unless you want to add song,video theres another alternative way to do that so.
Remember,every time you wish to restore,iTunes significantly will asked digital signature from Apple server to to a restore for your devices.So you can't even run from Apple on what ever you done on the phone.

Choose the right iPSW file for your iPhone : http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

To find your .ipsw extension file
Mac : Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iTunes/iPod Firmware
Windows : %Userprofile%\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates


.ipsw is just extension.you can't open the file unless you having a professional extract tools just like script writer.

Enjoy your iPhone !

updated my iPod Touch 4g to iOS 5. Happy~

iOS 5 simply the best since I bought my iPhone 4.

the notification centre alone is a big difference

Any idea how to fully utilise the addictiveTouch in ios5 ??

There's a customisation for gesture enabled in iPhone but I'm not sure what useful and non redundant gestures I should add....

when do you guys think the cards app will arrive in the malaysian app store?

No wifi issue encountered. Only issue is DiGi 3G which I use for MiFi tethering is very unstable at Kota Kemuning since the last few days.

i thought it is already available in appstore?

Can someone help me pls?

I tried 5th times to upgrade using iTunes but it still show connection timed out the moment it complete 100% download.

Then I tried the method to manually download from the link but I couldn't find the .ipsw file in the directory given. I'm using windows 7 and I can't even locate the directory in the 1st place.

Help help help...

For windows user, please disable your anti virus during updating
Error message pop up most of the time due to antivirus software

Ios5 installed... Looks the same to me as previous 4.3.5 though..

Wifi down problem solved in iOS5!

iOS 5 is making my 3GS very slow & laggy. Anyone facing the same issue with their 3GS?

Finally upgraded to ios 5 after disabling antivirus software before installation.

I'm using 3GS. Any idea how do I initiatiate iMessage? Already turn on in the message settings...

You upgrade the firmware directly or clean restore ? there might possibilities for lag on i3GS if you upgrade on the current firmware.
If could,please clean restore the iOS.

We already got a dedicated thread for iMessage only. (NO BBM fag's) !
