GM?

[Steve28]

Anyone have a lead on whether or not the GM will show up today? History says it will, but they didn't mention it in the keynote.

 

[BLiNK]

i read that the Dev site is down. past history says when this happens they are updating their site for the next release

 

[Fausty82]

Apple also announced that GM was coming out today... and the developer's site still down. Count on it.

 

[phantograms]

The dev site is back up. The GM can only be installed through the ipsw download, not OTA.
wamp wamp wamp

Can a non-dev install the GM if they can get it?

Only if your phone's UDID is registered with a developer's account (I think).

almost positive one can install a GM without the UDID being registered. this is the same copy that will be pushed to consumers. however, double check with others to be sure!

I thought I'd seen that said in several other places as well... I'll let someone else go first, and tell us how it went before I go crazy

a friend of mine is taking the leap, so I'll keep you posted.

You do NOT need a registered UDID to install the GM release.

 

[kch50428]

You do NOT need a registered UDID to install the GM release.

But apparently you do to download it from Apple.

 

[KrispyKrink]

But apparently you do to download it from Apple.

Not necessarily. You need to be a paid Dev to get in to download, but you don't have to your device registered. Some devs have many iPhones with only a few registered to test but they're installing on their personal devices.

EDIT: I should note I have no idea if iCloud is working for them or not though.

UDID has nothing to do with downloading. You must be a developer to get to the site. But if you can find it, you can install it.

Developers have been/are testing iCloud all along... but Apple has warned us that the site will be periodically wiped and reset during the testing phase.

Yes, I know I've been using it on my device that's registered to my dev account. When I get home I'll try it on my wife's iPhone that I've never used to dev test or registered with my account, I'm unsure if that would work. I'll take your word that it does indeed work on non-registered devices.

 

[Fausty82]

Is any one having problems installing the GM release? I'm getting the 3002 error. Grrrr.

 

[kch50428]

Isn't the 3002 error one that happens when servers to authenticate the software are getting slammed?

 

[rstark18]

I'm downloading it now but will I be able to install using a PC or do I need the Mac iTunes beta?

 

[bmt626]

it could mean that they dont have the itunes beta needed it install the ios5 firmware

make sure you're doing option+click restore, instead of update or just clicking restore
