iPhone 4 & iPad 2: How to Update to iOS 5 [INSTRUCTIONS]

[Given Edward]

iOS 5 was unveiled at WWDC earlier this week and introduced a ton of new features to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Some of the key highlights included a new notifications center, WiFi syncing, Twitter integration, photo sharing and more.

While iOS 5 is yet available to the public, a Gizmodo reader has published a way to forcefully update the iPhone 4 or iPad 2 to iOS 5. The story has attracted well over 150,000 views since its publication a few hours ago and will no doubt be attracting the attention of the boys over at Apple soon enough.

iPhone 4 & iPad 2: How To Upgrade To iOS 5

Basically, the guide shows you to to exploit a security vulnerability related to the Voice Over System. What you need to do is download the iOS 5 IPSW which is currently in beta AND available from Google search or from popular torrent websites. Next connect your iPhone or iPad to iTunes and then click on the "Check for update" while holding the Shift key (in Windows) and select the appropriate IPSW file.
After this is done, you will see a new activation screen will appear, which asks you to activate iOS 5. Hit the source link for details on what to do next.

Now before you hit the link though, be warned that there is no guarantee whether you can downgrade to iOS 4.3.3 afterwards if you find issues with the iOS 5 installation.

Hii njia sio nzuri na hasa kwa watumiaji wa iPad, nji bora zaidi ni kutumia UDID. Njia hii ni kuwa unainstall iOS 5, halafu unanunua UDID activation kwenye eBay ambayo ni chini ya elfu kumi.

Kuipata iOS firmware inabidi ama ufanye torrent au uzungumze na wauza activation kwa email kabla ya kununua UDID kwao. Kama utaamua kununua UDID activation hakikisha unasoma masharti ambayo sio magumu na muhimu kwamba umtumie muuzaji wako UDID number yako.

Ubora wa njia hii ni mambo mawili, kwanza ni ya halali kwa vile developers hupewa nafasi ya kusajili vifaa mia moja kwa ajili ya majaribio ya Apps zao. Na faida ya pii utaweza kujaribu iOS zote kwa muda wa mwaka mmoja tangu dev wako alipie akaunti yake.

safi sana mkuu, nakubaliana na mawazo yako...hiyo beta version inajumuisha updates za kawaida tu ambazo zinapatikana kwenye package za cydia ndani ya jailbroken IOS 4 and above, kwahiyo haina maana sana kuRestore hiyo beta version..kwa mfano 'new notifications center, WiFi syncing, Twitter integration, photo sharing' hizo zote nazitumia kwenye IOS 4.3.3... unaweza kuRestore hiyo IOS alafu ikawa incompatible na Baseband version ya simu yako alafu ikaharibu simu,,ni bora kusubiri itangazwe officially na ipatikane kwenye Itunes Updates, otherwise ni afadhali kutumia updates zilizopo kwenye Cydia...
