What will happen to iOS 5 GM release when iOS 5 will officially be launched on the 12 of Oct, I have installed iOS 5 GM release on my iPhone 4, so will iTunes ask me again to install the update, can anyone help??
Will you have to restore to the old version 4.whatever then upgrade to final. or will the GM just update to whatever is new?
The GM is what is installed by default on new phones. You won't have to do anything unless apple has an update for it since it was installed on the new phones.
You'll just have to wait and see.

It doesn't take long, once you download it. And yes, backup just to be safe. I'm thinking, if you've downloaded the .ipsw file, then it will only take roughly 10 minutes to install.
Just make sure you do a backup on iTunes prior to installing the update. Your contacts should be included.
Awesome thanks. Hopefully the one I downloaded is the right one haha
Make sure you are installing build number 9A334. That is the GM. There are some expired betas floating around which say they are the GM...

Does the baseband update? I require an gevey unlock sim for me and need the bb at 4.10.0
Thanks,
Some people were saying i'd have to restore and then upgrade to the final version.
I think i'll put this GM on tonight. How long does it take to install it? Also if I do a backup before I do anything can I clean install the new OS then restore my contacts?
