How to FIX - iPhone 4 - iOS5 update error 3002 (Solved)

-



Hi, Today Apple Launched iOS5 many of us are eager to update and try it out but if you have a slow internet connection don't download the firmware via iTunes. (I tried twice with a couple of PC's but found out whenever it reached the 700mb mark - an error popped up stating that there was a fault in the connection and it was reset.)

I wasted 700mb of data bandwidth due to this. (But my friend paid for me - YES 4G charging RM0.03 per MB)

You have to search for the download link manually via GOOGLE. "If you don't know how to use Google then I will pray for you.)

I've found a reliable source saying that the below is a direct link to the download:



After you've downloaded the iOS5 firmware, the next step is to copy the firmware back to the "ORIGINAL firmware folder" if you don't know where is that or how to get there please use "Google again!"
If you don't even understand what is iPhone Software Original folder I included them below

Just search for the "iPhone Software Update" folder name.

Location of the iPhone Software Update folder

Firmware files have a .ipsw extension and can be found at the following locations:
On Windows XP :
Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
On Windows Vista/Windows 7:
Users\\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
On Mac:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates



After you've done both use the [UPDATE] or [RESTORE] button to update the firmware.

If you've placed the firmware in the correct "iPhone Software Update" folder (note: for windows 32 bit and 64 bit it is different I've searched and come across one which states the location which is at C:\Documents and Settings\*User Name*\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Update but I found mine under AppData\Roaming\iTunes\iPhone Software Update) it will not re-download from Apple's Server. It will extract and download the file and update your phone to iOS5

*WARNING Pressing the Shift + Restore button will only bring you back to ERROR 3002. When you click the "More Information" you'll know what I mean.

Good Luck Hope This Helps. Cheers.
