Need some help. Tried to update the ios tonight and got all kinds of errors, unknown 1604, unknown 1600, unknown 20.
I am currently jailbroke, verizon, ios 4.2.6, want to upgrade to 5.0.1 in order to use newest jailbreak for the icloud features.
Itunes is 10.5.2 and I am on a mac, not pc.
I had to use Redsnow to recover the phone.

Any help is appreciated.

i would only go to 4.2.8 if i were you. 5.01 isn't really *that* great when you see all the jailbreak apps you'll lose or that won't function properly. the only thing i've gained from 5.01 is better text prediction when typing.

do you really need iCloud? just use dropbox and aptbackup from cydia. it's just as much space for free and honestly it's a better UI since on dropbox you can selectively delete things you don't want.

iCloud offers 5GB for free, where Dropbox gives you a little over 2GB.

RemmyZero, I am aware of the referral incentive. In my post above I was pointing out the out-of-box storage. Referring people takes effort and time.
