I'm running it, too, but it said my backup was corrupted. AHHH. ((pulls hair out))
I need to recover from this day, been trying to get this done since noon.
i edited the host file and i'm still not able to restore. i'm just going to go eat dinner and watch my shows. i'll come back late tonight and see if the servers have let up at all.
Just do it manually, or restore from backup. Did you back it up before you restored to iOS 5? If so, your backup will be there and your apps should reappear.
I did the restore method, but now all my photos and contacts are gone... and it said my back up was corrupted or couldn't do it. I'm trying to figure it out now.
Of course, I backed it up before iOS5! My apps are syncing now... thank you! I'll keep everyone updated. I'm freaking if I lost all my photos, contacts, and SMS.
Did you have to re-sync/transfer all of your music, videos, etc.?
Now I'm just getting the 3002 error. Anyone know how to fix that?
This immediately fixed my 3194 error. Taken from TiPb user scruiD post in another thread:
You have Error 3194?
*** Check your hosts file (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) - edit with notepad.exe and check for gs.apple.com, if you have a valid finding set a # to the beginning of the line to make this inactive or remove it when you do not need (its a redirect for cydia, so when you want to jailbreak again and the redirected will stay the same keep it inactive, otherwise remove)
simple solution for 3194 error, install update on different computer that does not have the gs.apple.com line in the host file, ill find out what i lost (if anything by doing this) though at this point as long as i have my contacts ill be content, i already miss being jb hopefully iOS5 will make up for that
