[h=6]Hey, I'm having problems updating from 4.3.5 to 5.0. ( I don't want to update to 5.0.1) Can you please help? Is this even possible? Thanks[/h]
 
Hi Fate, it is not possible. You can only go to 5.0.1 because Apple is no longer signing 5.0
 
hey IFrog.

thanks for the quick reply. so you are positive about this? i somewhat got it to work, but then get error messages at the end.. thanks
 
It is impossible. Mods have spoken :)

Seriously. We know this stuff. It is impossible to install 5.0 on ANY device now, no matter what. If it isn't on there, you can't get it installed. End of.
 
icic. i was unsure and nervous about upgrading to 5.0.1 but i don't think i have a choice lol. do you have a link where i could find the jailbreak for 5.0.1? ( is this even possible yet?)

thanks so much for your help guys. :)
 
Sure. You don't say what phone you have, but see here - http://www.iphoneforums.net/forum/h...-ios5-tethered-using-redsn0w-beginners-25943/

You will need to download the 5.0 AND 5.0.1 firmwares. redsn0w needs the 5.0 firmware to jailbreak 5.0.1 at the moment... - http://www.iphoneforums.net/forum/i...ple-ios-firmware-download-links-iphone-17213/

Also note, it's a tethered jailbreak. See our sticky here for details - http://www.iphoneforums.net/forum/iphone-jailbreaking-17/jailbreaking-methods-iphone-18519/
 
hey F4780y,

thanks so much for all your help. 5.0.1 has been JB. :)
 
You can download the 5.0 iPhone firmware from here,
Moderate: No external links!
And then when you are in iTunes. Hit Shift + Restore and select your downloaded .ipsw

apple is not signing iOS 5 anymore so that won't work
