UPDATE: What the hell? It’s the same build number as the GM that us iPhone Developers received 2 weeks ago. I thought that a later version would have been distributed. Well, a jailbreak should come out 2X as fast then. 😀 Godspeed Dev Team.
UPDATE 2: I have finished posting the download links to iOS 4 for all of the devices. 🙂 Enjoy! (However, don’t update if you are jailbroken, wait for the jailbreak!)
Hey guys, looks like iOS 4 just went live on iTunes. Now, if you are on an officially unlocked iPhone or on AT&T and not in need of an unlock or jailbreak, you can go ahead and download it right now on iTunes!
For the rest of us, those who need a jailbreak, unlock, or simply not on one of Apple’s official carriers, then we will have to hold off for a little bit more while the jailbreak is completed.
Now, I am a very impatient person, but we will all probably have to wait up to 72 hours for the jailbreak. It took 2.5 days when iOS 3 came out last year, so expect similar wait times.
You can download the firmware from the bottom of the article but DO NOT restore or update to it until you can make a custom firmware!
So everyone, as we wait patiently for the jailbreak, we can at least start downloading the 240+MBÂ 292.1MB firmware file.
Here’s the pop up that comes when you update:
Now, to install these, you have to download them (if Safari changed their extension to .zip, change it to .ipsw), then go into iTunes, plug in your iOS Device, and hold down shift (PC) or alt (Mac) while clicking on the “UPDATE” button in iTunes. Then choose the firmware and update!
As I said before, if you want a jailbreak or an unlock, DO NOT UPDATE!

CharlesIphone says
So, alan, where do i start the download? 😉
Alan Vazquez says
I have updated the article to download it for all iOS Devices. 🙂 I was in the process of doing this when you posted the comment. 🙂

UPDATING FROM iOS4 (BETA 5)******
Would not allow me to install the update by clicking ‘Check For Update’
Back up device and do a restore. It then allows the new final version to install.
You will need to do a complete restore as a new phone, NOT FROM A BACKUP!!
Then manually set up your device again. Welcome to the wonderful world of using DevSoftware.
Alan Vazquez says
Download it from the links I gave above
CharlesIphone says
THX a lot man, im downloading it too. now lets wait for the Devs
Alan Vazquez says
Yeah, no prob. 🙂 Yep, it’s the same iOS 4 version, so let’s if the iPhone Dev Team can jailbreak it in a matter of a few minutes to a couple hours. 🙂
CharlesIphone says
My 20 fingers are crossed. Thanks a LOOOT Alan, you’re the man!
Alan Vazquez says
Hey, no problem at all. 🙂 I’m waiting for the jailbreak too. I need to update my iPhone 3G ASAP! lol
Matt says
Where is the iBooks for iPhone App?
Wasn’t that supposed to be part of the new iOS4?
Alan Vazquez says
No, it’s a separate download and it’s not out yet.
Matt says
Doing a full restore on my 3GS
It’s showing it will sync books from my iPad…….but to where?
iBooks hasn’t released yet.
Will keep you posted
Matt says
Ok got a Notification window saying that I don’t have iBooks installed on my iPhone.
It then reads “You can add the iBooks application to your iPhone using the Apps tab”
Here goes……and……..looks like this only showing that you can add iBooks to your phone, after you get it from the store.
GRRRRRRRRRR!! Native PDF sync will make my life MUCH easier!
Matt says
iBooks for iPhone now available in App Store!
Alan Vazquez says
Yep, thanks! I gave you credit in my article for your tip. Thanks for having sharp eyes!
