ios 4.2

Pacific Standard Time....that's like 10 hours behind us. :(\

Oh...hang on, then we should be able to update after 8pm?
 
ios 4.2 is out. just started with the download. but it has an eta of 7hrs.
 
No!!!! I downloaded the update via iTunes and the server did a reset when I was at 202MB done. I'm using Vodacom HSDPA, so there goes half my data bundle. *sniff sniff*

I'll wait til tomorrow morning when all the Americans are still asleep. *sniff*
 
I don't do jailbrakes or download from 3rd party sites... but darn, I am considering it now.
my downloads are plagued by the 9006 error;
4.2 is just not downloading to completion.
 
Just to make life easier for some, here are the official URLs for those who don't wanna go looking, I always download from these, then Shift Restore/Update (or Option on a Mac)

Kingrob, it's better to download it outside iTunes as those server resets are very common when updating from within iTunes. This is however a major gripe I have with the iPhone/Apple ... that we have to download the whole frikken OS or application everytime there is an update. Some of the latest games are 700 MB! No patching on iOS. This to me is a major shortcomming.
 
Could someone please clarify a few things. I currently have my first iPhone. I have learnt alot from this forum, however, I have never been through a OS update. My phone is jailbroken. What will I have to do to update to 4.2? What are the procedures? Wil I have to backup my apps first? Will I have to re-jailbreak? Please outline all the steps.

Thanks in advance.
 
iPhone 4?

Current 4.2.1 JB is tethered meaning you'll have to plug into a PC or MAC to start the phone up

If JB is important to you, don't update yet

Click to expand...

If you update to iOS 4.2.1, you will loose your jailbreak.

Procedures to update to latest Apple firmware :

Download iTunes 10.1 and install it.

Then plug in your iPhone & iTunes will pick it up. Then do a backup/sync. iTunes will most probably tell you there's new software available for your phone, then you can download and install it....or just download it and do a restore (clean install).
 
Yes iPhone 4.

Ok cool thanks, in that case I will wait till there is an untethered jailbreak out before I update. No issues with 4.1 so I have no probs waiting. :)
