iOS 7.0.5

It is a bug fix. I presume that follow the major.minor.patch versioning.
 
I can't seem to get 7.05 on my iPhone 5. I need a fix for the 7.04 "known wifi issue."

Wisdom please, anyone who knows a fix?

I tried reverting to 7.03 via iTunes but get taken to a screen insisting upon installing 7.04 instead.
 
7.1 will be out in about a months time and it is quite a significant improvement over 7.0.4 so what till then.

AFAIK 7.0.5 is only for 5c and 5s...

7.1, you say, Sand-Man? Well, I almost cannot wait as I was forced through the cloud yesterday and that does nor work for me as I frequently travel and stay for a few days in spots where we have insufficient signal yet I need my data to be up to date. Wifi sync is so handy, when it works.

Datura, the latest 7.05 is just for 5S and 5C as you have stated, yes. My son has it on his 5S though so it cannot only be for China, but you are right: there is a release of 7.05 that mainly is aimed at those two devices in China.

Yes, I'm currently running 7.1 beta 3, jailbroken on a 5c, iPad air, iPad 4 and iPad 3 and it is a very pleasant experience. Far more stable, smoother, more responsive and slightly quicker than 7.0.4.

With prohibitive mobile data costs, wifi is imperative yes. Wifi issues are well documented although I personally have never experienced issues. Iphone 5 and 5c.

I got the upgrade notification for my 5c for 7.0.5 too (jailbroken and running 7.1b3 but using the 7.0.4 spoof to trick Apple servers into believing the device is on 7.0.4). It's not exclusively China. Seems UK, Germany, Croatia among others...

As I already had my share of warranty issues and problems with after sales service, I need to stick with what Apple dishes up until the warranty is expired. By then, jailbreak starts sounding good BUT my concern is data security. Who makes the jailbreak versions, how do they do it and why? Then offer it for free? Motive?

Although jalibreaking voids your warranty, doing a full dfu mode restore to a stock ipsw would erase all evidence of a jailbreak! In the unlikely event that you were unable to restore a "bricked" and jailbroken iPhone, the same methods that failed for you would fail for the repair centre you took the phone to.

The modus operandi is the following: Faulty iPhone, 1.) connect to iTunes and attempt resore > if that doesn't resolve the issue > 2.) connect to iTunes in dfu mode and attempt restore> if that doesn't resolve the issue replace device assuming hardware failure... If dfu mode restore does resolve the issue it will erase all traces of jailbreak too..

As for safety, yes there is an element of risk. Potential exposure to malware, stability issues, etc Like on the AppStore you can buy themes/tweaks/mods on Cydia. Cydia is the jailbreak communities version of AppStore. Hackers, for the most part, develop jailbreaks for bragging rights, this most recent one being the exception, where evasi0n released it with funding from a Chinese company provided the jailbreak was bundled with taig appstore which offered free and pirated software to Chinese jailbreak customers.

This taig app has since been removed from the jailbreak bundle.
 
You can still jailbreak. Awesome. I did a fresh install on my 5c last night. Pretty chuffed.
