Hello!!!how can I get the software update on my iPhone 4 White GSM????plzz quick help
Use iTunes:
https://osxdaily.com/2010/11/23/how-to-use-ipsw-files/
I currently don’t have internet besides my iPhone cause I live in the country. I was wondering if it’d be possible to download a ipsw file using a file downloader then transfer the file using iTunes and then restoring my iPhone to that file without Internet connected go my laptop? Or would that be too risky? Can it be done? Thanks in advance
i have an iphone 4…which is a factory unlock, so which one shud i download…the CDMA or GSM one
i live in maldives and i am using the Dhiraagu carrier
Need an answer quick!!
If you use a sim card, you are GSM
oh thanks a lot……btw then what is CDMA for? just curious
Code division multiple access (CDMA) is a wireless radio technology which only works in a specific region. For instance, if you have a US CDMA phone, taking it to a foreign country will result in it not working until you bring it back to the US.

to be safe you should always restore and unjailbreak before applying an OS update
still have battery problem on my ipod touch! seems it doesnt work at battery at all.
[…] Update to iOS 5.0.1 – if you haven’t done so already, do it manually or through OTA […]
Perfect update direct via Iphone and WIFI !!
Earlier update to iOS 5 on my 3GS drained the battery to nothing in less than 2 hours, making the device very hot !
After the update to iOS 5.0.1 I seem to have got a brand new Iphone: Battery capasity much better than the original, seem likely to have been 100% better ! ?
After installing ios 5.0 on my 3gs the calendar would hang for many seconds after trying to add an entry. Installed ios 5.0.1 and the problem has gone away.
what’s the difference between iPhone 4 GSM and iPhone 4 CDMA?? My iPhone’s from verizon
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications, typically seen on carriers such as ATT) will work worldwide.
CDMA (Code division multiple access, seen on various carriers including Verizon) will only work within a specific region. For instance, a US CDMA iPhone will only work in the US, and one bought in Japan will only work in Japan, etc.
I too 3 days to restore my 3GS after the iOS5 update, had to manually install it to my wifes 4, now the OTA 5.01 tried to install and crashed everything, made me plug into iTunes and restore and update, which has failed yet again, and yes I have rebooted, turned off firewalls and security, not that I like that, still nothing works, installing manually now, if this doesnt work out comes the Nokia again, and iPhone goes in the bin!!!!!!!!!!!

The new multitasking swipes on the iPad1 don’t come up automatically. You have to go enable them in Settings.
Hopefully now that the 1st update to iOS5 has arrived they will release the UNTETHERED jailbreak!
Hmmmm less than 5 hours and I’m down to 57%. Two short calls and 2 short texts. I’m turning locations off and stopping pushing data. Doesn’t seem to have helped.
Mine did it on it’s own. A notification popped up on my iPhone 4s. It took literally 3 seconds.
My 4S never had any battery issues in the first place. The 55mb update seems to have caused my time zone location service to stay on! I don’t think this is normal and probably will end up draining my battery rather than improving it. Will try to update it again with the full firmware download and see how it goes.

my iPhone doesn’t connect to my car bluetooth anymore =(
Killed my Slingbox Media Player. No longer connects.
hmmm!!! I’ll try to reinstall the app I guess.
not working on my jailbroken ios 5.0…
guess needs to download 700+mb and rejailbreak it…
…And why exactly did you expect a delta OTA update on a jailbroken device to work to begin with?
Worked fast and perfectly on my ATT 4. Now to see how long the battery lasts. I turned everything on and now I’m waiting . . . . . . . .
I have a white Verizon iPhone 4. I remember Apple said that the OTA updates would be done so that they don’t require much data so people with data caps wouldn’t have to worry abou getting a 700MB file (as is the size of the ISPWs).
If so, then why does my iPhone say I HAVE TO CONNECT TO A DAMN WIFI NETWORK TO DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE. MY DATA PLAN IS UNLIMITED (got it before they introduced caps)
Stupid Apple. =/
The OTA wi-fi limitation is likely imposed by carriers and not by Apple, kind of like the whole Facetime over 3G thing
I remember that Cydia had a paid app that removed the 20MB 3G restriction, so I always figured it was Apple. But if you guys can all download it, is it possible that it’s 20MB for Verizon but say, 50 for AT&T? I don’t know, but I have an unlimited data plan, White iPhone 4 (16GB), Verizon Wireless, and here is a pic of what I’m getting:

I could not agree with you more: Stupid Apple. I cannot believe my daughter wastes her money on Apple crap. These products are worth-less than half of the non apple devices that cost half as much. That means they’re 4 times more expensive than they’re worth. And since they frequently don’t work, they’re actually worthless.
Android forever…
I agree, one time Apple, newer more. This is why:
Note: You cannot transfer photos that you synced to your iOS device from another computer. You can only transfer photos or videos that you took or saved on the iOS device.
Retarded Apple
yes you can…. download a program called IFUNBOX…. u can strip any I-device of all media and copy it onto other I-devices…. it will in effect mean you can have 20 copies of the same files on 20 different devices…. enjoy
OTA failed. 790MB download through iTunes just started.
No issues here on my iPhone 4S; installed 55mb download over WiFi.
Only took about 4 min… simultaneous on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Very nice!
only 55Mb?
can not believe my eye..
The OTA version is a delta update, meaning only the changes are downloaded and not the full firmware.
Anyone notice that the direct links always point to an iPhone directory? What’s up with that?
OTA download was very fast, already installed.
I agree – my OTA update downloaded very fast and is has been installing. (chug chug chug….)
my iphone4 doesn’t show OTA update on the settings. pls advise how to install OTA by other means
Here are the security notes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5052
Lots of security and bug fixes including the iPad smart cover bug and the one that 0xcharlie guy
OTA is going so slooooooooow, but it’s working!
The update does not show under OTA, but is available from iTunes. Strange !!
This does not work on my iPhone 4S with iOS5. Not available to the public yet because is still says that my software is up to date.
