iOS 5 Beta 3 Available to Download
Jul 11, 2011 - 19 Comments
Apple has released iOS 5 beta 3 for developers to download, the build comes as 9A5259f and supports iPad 2, iPad, iPhone 4 GSM & CDMA, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch 3rd & 4th generations. Apple TV2 has received a separate update, however it is still not considered iOS 5.
Alongside the latest iOS 5 beta comes a new version of iTunes 10.5 at beta 3, which seems to be required to sync iTunes with your iOS 5 beta 3 devices.
You can download the latest beta directly from iOS Dev Center, as usual you will need an active developer ID to access the files.
There has been a LOT of interest generated for IOS5, but I’m not a developer and I don’t want to take a chance on trashing my $ iPad by jailbreaking it – so when will the real release for the public happen? Anyone have any inside news they care to share?

Thanks
good :)
Another quick note
From what I have been reading you will need:
iOS 5 beta [1,2 or 3] and the corresponding version of iTunes 10.5 beat [1, 2 or 3]
Also keep in mind if you restore you may loose your icon placement folders and it may take quite some time to do this process.
Will this Brick the Phone?
Answer
– And remain on iOS5 without developer sub, Yes
– Unless you use jail breaking means to be able to use it
– Or subscribe to be an iOS dev
– or know of another way to activate it
Downgrading
– Yes, but be sure to grab you shsh blobs first (TinyUmbrella)
– Learn how to put your phone in recovery mode as well
– Do a complete backup of your phone in iTunes
– Also make sure you have a copy of iOS 4.3.3 (this is still signed by apple and should go more smoothly the filename should be something like iPhone3,1_4.3.3_8J2_Restore.ipsw
I am making assumptions that you are trying an iPhone 4 GSM and not a 3GS or Verizon iPhone 4 (CDMA) 4.2.8 for it’s firmware
Will this brick the phone? and will be able to downgrade?
