iOS 5 Download Firmware For iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 2, 1, And iPod touch (DIRECT LINKS)

by Ahmed Omar on October 12, 2011

Download iOS 5 now, it’s here. Apple has released iOS 5 for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad 1, iPod touch 4G, and iPod touch 3G. Of course iPhone 4S comes already with iOS 5.

Download iOS 5
iOS 5 comes with tons of new features for all iOS users. Starting from iMessages, better notifications center and Newsstand to Twitter integration and more. Check our iOS 5 walkthrough here.

For jailbreakers and unlockers, we recommend you stay away from that update until we update our post with useful guides of jailbreak tools. It’s most probably going to be tethered iOS 5 jailbreak then will be followed by untethered jailbreak soon. Hold on!

Links for iOS 5 (Official from Apple)

Download iTunes 10.5 for Windows and Mac

UPDATE: You can use the guide posted here to jailbreak iOS 5 tethered only using existing Redsn0w.

    Links for iOS 4.3.5 (Official from Apple) ???

    we’re talking about IOS 5 probably!!

  • Sheeko

    I think you meant the links for IOS 5.0 not 4.3.5 in the original post :)

  • Dan Kuhlmann

    And this is now the final version?

    I think you meant iOS 5, not iOS 4.3.5

    Is it possible to jailbreak iOS 5.0?

  • Guest

    Hi, if I update my iPhone 4 GSM 4.3.3 to iOS 5.0 will I be able to jailbreak it once the proper tools come out?

  • Rafael

    when i get 64% of the ios 5 file download the speed drops down, there is a problem with the server ? I had stopped the download and start it again, same thing happend ….

  • Dosdy

    is this the same update using direct links and using itunes update? after i downloaded ios5 from the direct link, do i need my ipod touch into dfu mode then shift+click of restore button in itunes?

  • Mimshactee

    Downloading it already but is it true gestures are not in the iPad 1? About to find out but that will be horrible!!!…anyway, a jailbreak will fix that

  • Harrypotterlikesiphone

    Any indirect links?!

  • Guest

    Downloaded on Windows. How do I install ?

  • Dosdy

    im not sure but this is what i found instructions in some site. first you turn your device into dfu mode. 2nd shift+click the restore button in your itunes. locate where you downloaded the update in your computer then click ok. make sure you back up your device before you restore it.

  • http://www.ebsiwebsites.com 344kellogg

    I’ve got a problem. My phone was jailbroken. But I wanted to upgrade to iOS 5 because of the new features (I can live without it being jailbroken for a while). After I downloaded the new firmware it started updating the phone. I can see the apple icon and the progress bar. It gets about 3/4 of the way through the load and then it freezes. I’ve tried going into DFU mode, doing rebooting iTunes, my computer, etc. Nothing seems to be working. It always stops in the same place. No idea what I’m supposed to do.

  • Miladchalipa2002

    i tried restore bottom combination with shift key and … it works… great

    depends on which your ipad is GSM or CDMA then download GSM or CDMA not wifi

  • rehsjh

    Do yourselves a favor and make sure to download your shsh blobs so that you can later downgrade to another version when you get tired of the the new crap and can jailbreak again. If you don’t you will not be able to downgrade and you will be stuck.

  • rehsjh

    And besided the new ios 5 is nothing compared to what you can do with your jailbroken phone.

  • rehsjh

    There is a tethered only jailbreak for ios 5 out but I would wait to upgrade to ios 5. 4.3.3 is easy to jailbreak and it gives you much more flexibility. But you need to save your shsh blobs using ifaith first if you decide to upgrade. That way you can downgrade if you don’t like ios 5.

  • rehsjh

    Everyone please remember to save and download your shsh blobs using ifaith or other program before you upgrade. If you don’t you will probably regret it. Just a thought.

    successfully upgraded my iPad 2 4.3.5 to iOS 5 using ipsw files above! Just hold shift+restore button in the summary of your iOS device then a window will pop to locate the ipsw file. Hope that helps, no need to go to DFU or Recovery mode.

    Thank u!

  • Sfgsdhg

    It’s likely the app’s in question are not fully compatible with the new OS update.

  • Sdfh

    They allow you to revert your device to an earlier firmware version.  However if you haven’t backed them up prior to the iOS5 release… you can’t.  So, moot point

  • Imsebbe

    Will a shift+restore delete texts etc?

  • Srtjsshx

    NO, it mean iPhome AT&T…  not Verizon

    Has nothing to do with the device being an iPhone4 or 4s

    HELPPP! This is driving me crazy. i have a jailbroken iphone 3gs (old bootrom) still on the 4.0 firmware. When i run Redsn0w to jailbreak to iOS 5 i keep getting this ‘Exploit failed’ error message. Do i need to jailbreak to 4.3.3 first or is this some other issue? Iv only ever done 1 jailbreak before (hence why still on 4.0) so still a noob, Do i need to restore my phone first or can you jailbreak on top of a jailbreak if you get me? 

  • Lrock1977

    I have IOS installed on my iPhone 4 GSM. I have downloaded and pointed redsnOw to the file it’s asking for. When I try and jailbreak it the program asks that I select an IPSW file which I had already done. I’m stuck here at this point. Any thoughts..Please!

    What’s the difference between IOS5 and IOS5 Firmware? Are they the same thing? or Do I have to download them separately?

  • Peterjones72

    Also, my phone says it’s running IOS5. iTunes says my phone is running IOS5. Yet I still can’t use many of the functions that IOS5 is supposed to have. What am I doing wrong? Help! This is driving me nuts LOL

  • Octovember

    Every time i try to update it takes me through the process saying i need to back my phone up. So i do that, then after that bar fills and it’s about to begin the restore, it says that my iphone “isn’t eligible for the requested build.” After it says this, i’m back at square one and have to do the whole process again which leads to the same results. How can i get past this so i can put ios5 on it? I’ve tried starting my computer but that didn’t work.

    For reference, i am currently running ios 4.2.10 with a tethered jailbreak. I am also on a mac. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Admin

    Hi Octovember,
    i heard you are currently running ios 4.2.10 with a tethered jailbreak; so hold on!

    For jailbreakers and unlockers, we recommend you stay away from that update until we update our post with useful guides of jailbreak tools. It’s most probably going to be tethered iOS 5 jailbreak then will be followed by untethered jailbreak soon. Hold on!

    remember to back up all of your files. Now go to your ipod on iTunes and while holding shift click restore. You should have download iOS 5 to either your downloads folder or to the desktop, now click on the .ipsw and the warning label should pop up, click update and wait for the amount of time and after a while you should have iOS 5 to your iDevice.

    I just recently bought an iPhone 3GS with iOS5 on it. I had it unlocked for T-Mobile use. Apparantly, there was an issue with the unlocking and I cannot power down the phone because it is tethered? Anyway, the gentlemen told me not to install new updates or it would mean he would have to re-unlock. I am trying to load all my music from iTunes (broken i-Touch is what got me in this predicament). Can I download version 10.5 iTunes without risking a re-unlock on the phone? Any help appreciated.

    I just tried to update my iphone4 and it’s not even jailbreaked. In the middle of the update, it showed some messages like there wasn’t enough space to backup. Now my phone is bricked. It stayed at the screen where it wants you to connect the iphone to itune. But the thing is itune can’t detect it anymore. I tried to connect my other apple device to itune which has not been updated yet. It’s still not detected. I tried reinstall itune, still nothing. Does anyone know how to fix it?

  • GMD

    DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT attempt to update an older version product to iOS5. If you really want iOS5, just purchase a new device. The “update” is not an update. It completely destroys ALL, and I mean ALL of your existing data. I have yet to see a successful backup and restore of the data. Update to iOS5 at your peril. Keep your older operating system and be happy. Don’t do it… don’t do it. You will regret it.

  • Rev Mikey13

    I can’t get my iPod touch 3gs to update I have downloaded the update but it doesn’t show up at all. How can I get it to update?

  • Goodandtired

    when I downloaded the new ios 5.0 on my iphone it won’t let me add any new contacts…what’s the fix for this?????

  • Xnrgy

    Yes u can….. just click SAVE AS and add “.IPSW” after the word RESTORE

  • nrgy

    move the file to the desktop or wherever you can have access to it, then load up itunes and press SHIFT + RESTORE then navigate to where you placed the IOS file and click it.

  • Xnrgy

    must be a lot of people donwloading or the server itself, it usually takes about 10-15 minutes to download the IOS, sometimes even faster. But 2 hours is way to long. I suggest chack different sites for downloading the firmware.

  • Xnrgy

    go to the folder where u downloaded it after pressing SHIFT+RESTORE on itunes

  • Xnrgy

    go get sn0wbreeze for jailbreaking if you dont want to update the baseband….dont update without doing sn0wbreeze first.

  • Xnrgy

    yes you can. maybe servers are down or a lot of traffic, try getting the iTunes update from somewhere else besides iTunes itself…..

  • Xnrgy

    double click on it, iTunes will load up then sync iDevice

  • Xnrgy

    Click “check for update” on iTunes, then it will download any new softwares for you automatically

  • Xnrgy

    did you use explorer to download the update? if yes, you should add “.ipsw” after the word RESTORE on the file you downloaded, explorer saves it as a ZIP file.
    Try redoing it and save it on the desktop for easy access when you do the restore+shift update from itunes…

  • Xnrgy

    If you didi it on iTunes, you dont have to do anything, if manual downlaod, you have to press SHIFT+RESTORE on itunes and go to where you DLed the file….

  • Xnrgy

    No it wont, it will remove the jailbreak and your phone will be like new. However, it will ask you if you want to restore from backup or restore as new….

  • Xnrgy

    Verizon is CDMA, no SIM cards

  • Xnrgy

    Have you tried returning it or having it replaced?

  • systembob

    i just purchased the iphone 4 for sprint that already has 5.0 on it do i still need to dowload another one to my computer to jailbreak it? if so would i choose the version for verision since its cdma? thanks

    Thanks

  • adsf

    I think you need to use iboost that sn0wbreeze provided, and reboot in DFU mode.
    I used sn0breeze and Cydia work fine.

  • asdf

    If you want to preserved your baseband for unlock your phone later you need to modify the file first by using either sn0wbreeze or redsn0w and then you can restored it in DFU mode in iTunes.

  • Meau_21_21

    already done that…the things that i do was download the file then after i downloaded the file i put the file on my desktop so i can see it easy now when i connect on itunes then presseds shift+restore it wont detect the file..how come?

    Hi,

    I have downloaded ios5 for my ipad2 using the link above. Now how to update my ipad2. BY Shift+restore or shift+update?

  • Xnrgy

    iTunes also updated? it should be 10.5 version if you are updating to iOS5.

  • AmoonMah

    Heyy ,, i just downloaded ios5 for me iPod 3G ,, Can you please tell me how to update it without deleting anything on my iPod?? especially the notes..

  • Xnrgy

    back up to Itunes, then after updating select “RESTORE FROM BACKUP” instead of AS NEW….

  • Xnrgy

    SHIFT+RESTORE if manual download and you saved it somewhere in your computer. UPDATE option is when you are letting iTunes update it for you automatically

  • Xnrgy

    try downloading it from a different site.

  • Xnrgy

    Nice…enjoy it!

  • amylie

    Hi! I would like to thank you for posting this. I downloaded the ios 5 twice (from here and another site) cause i couldn’t get itunes to update my itouch, i tried everything (restart pc, disable antivirus, download from other site, etc) i was so getting frustrated!! luckily, i read the comments here and remembered that i’m suppose to click RESTORE instead of UPDATE. lol now my itouch is finally updated. Thanks very much! :)

  • Nicole

    i have a iphone 3gs and i cant get it to download the ios5! everytime i try it says my network connection was reset or something then i try again and it does it yet again. im running off of safari and i need help and getting extremely fusterated!

  • frank

    I downloaded IOS5 and started the upgrade manually. Half way during the upgrade the process stops, the iphone indicator stops too, what can I do

  • Xnrgy

    Shift+restore only if you downloaded it manualy, if u want itunes to do the update for you, just click UPDATE and once its done doing the update, it will ask you if you want to restore it as NEW or from your back up, you just click which one you want and yoour good….. make sure you back up (SYNC to iTunes) before you update.

  • Xnrgy

  • Vampirellaone

    Hello, Xnrgy!
    I’ve beeb reading most of the posts on here, and as for my opinion, Which May Not Matter,
    However, ‘It seems Like You know what you’re doing/Talking about’, when it comes to all this tech(e)
    stuff!’
    So, I’ve decided, ‘At the risk of sounding ignorant’,
    To Ask You For Your Help/Advice, about All This ‘Confusion’, As Far As Updating From iPhone4 iOS, From AT&T, To the version iphone5 (???)! I don’t know what the iPhone5 is called, as far as iOS, etc! :•/
    I don’t even know what ‘Jailbreaking’ even is?!
    And, ‘I Hate To Seem As Though I Know Nothing!’ Completely, NOT TRUE!’ I’ve been Too Busy Studying/Researching Medical ‘EVERYTHING!’
    So, Would You Mind Helping A Woman Out With This iPhone4, To iPhone5,Please? And, Thank You, In Advance!

  • Vampirellaone

    Oops! I meant to spell ‘been!’ lol!

    Please can someone advice me on this? Thanks.

  • Randyh8of8

    You have a iPhone 3g. The last firmware for that phone is 4.2.1

  • Xnrgy

    just restore it in iTunes and it will be like new…..

  • Xnrgy

    No, it will only update iOS5. If you want Cydia to be installed you need to use either sn0wbreeze or Redsn0w.

  • Xnrgy

    Thank you for the sweet comments Vampire, I try to help out as much as I can. But dont sell yourself short, Im sure you know things that I dont know, so in my eyes, we are equal. *wink!

    I’d be happy to help you and no, I do not mind….

    The iphone 4 last version of firmware ( software running it ) is 4.5, and the latest, which is the iPhone 4S is runing with the newest firmware which is the iOS 5. If you want to upgrade to the latest firmware, all you have to do is connect it to your computer and hit UPDATE button in iTUNES. It will download it automatically and update it for you aswell. Once its done doing what its supposed to do, your phone will reboot with the new firmware iOS5. iTunes in turn will ask you if you want to set your phone as NEW or from a BACKUP.

    if NEW, it will be a blank phone. No contacts, no music no videos, etc etc. So I suggest you install it from BACKUP so you can have all your contacts and information back on your phone. THis is ofcourse if you did a back up before upgrading.

    Unfortunately, there is no iPhone5 out yet, speculations were high that it was the next model coming out, but as we all know by now, it was the iPhone4s. Not that I am complaining, but, as an owner of the iP4 I dont see any reason why I should upgrade to the new IP4s, its like and old car body style with a new engine….. you cant really tell the difference unless you are actually holding it.

    Hope this helps you out Vampirellaone, if you have any more question please feel to to ask and I will try my best to answer it. And I am also sure that there are other people in here that would like to help you out.

    Good Day to you……. oh wait, you sleep during the day. LoL!

  • xnrgy

    try to redo it, sometimes the cable connection moves and it disconnects the transfer.

  • Xnrgy

    servers sometimes get bogged down by multiple downloads, try a different site for the download, if you are not using iTunes.

  • Xnrgy

    you would also need to update iTunes to 10.5, this will allow you to update without any issue.

    slight correction:

    I meant to say RESTORE and not update in my 1st post above for the firmware.

  • Xnrgy

    where you able to solve the problem?

    kindly tell me after download this file how to install in iphone4
    and also tell me that which one is compatible fr my mobile ?
    i have iphone 4 32 gb

  • Xnrgy

    For a manual download, if its for ATT you need to get the GSM one, for Verizon its CDMA. You will also need to update your iTunes verion to 10.5. Once you have done the iTunes, its easier if you just hook up your device to iTunes and click restore. It will download it autimatically for you. All you have to to at the end is to choose restore from backup so ypu can have all you info back on the new IOS 5.

  • Xnrgy

    what jailbreaking software did you use? sn0wbreeze or Redsn0w?

  • Xnrgy

    update iTunes aswell to version 10.5. Once done, press SHIFT+RESTORE at the same time, then navigate to the directory where you donwloaded the iOS5, select and press update on itunes. Make sure you backed up your phone 1st.

  • calperin

    I downloaded the IO5 to my IPad1, I’m going through the set up process and it doesn’t allow me to continue after setting up my birthday.

  • Kev

    which file im clicking on it because it does not show any ipsw file..? can some1 tell me exactly how to update? ( i have downloaded the update pack)

  • xnrgy

    if the file you downloaded is showing like this “iPhone3,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ZIP” you need to rename the ZIP to IPSW. Then do the restore+shift in iTunes. Make sure iTunes is ALSO updated to 10.5 version or it will not work.

    how can i get my tmobile sim chip to work on my 3gs with ios 5

  • Sunshine

    I have the iphone 4 and recently upgraded to ios 5. Since then my phone has frozen up 3 times. When people call me I can’t slide the arrow at the bottom to answer the phone and it continues to vibrate after the ringing stops. The only way to unfreeze it is to hold the shut off button and the home button together. Annoying.
    Worse still, this morning my phone was off (I’m sure I still had enough power). I tried the home button, tried to turn it on and finally I hooked it up to charge and still no life. So now I have no phone. I’d like to add that I have not dropped the phone or done anything to it.
    Are there any known issues with the new os5? Anyone knows of a solution?
    Thanks

  • xnrgy

    try hooking it up to redsnow again and choose JUST BOOT TETHERED, and also, was the my3G app compatible with iOS5? I had the mistake of installing an app not checking if it was updated to iOS5 and it caused my phone to be stuck on the boot logo…. removing it fixed it….

  • xnrgy

    1st time I heard about this sort of problem, but it does not mean it does not exist. Only thing I can advise you is to do a fresh restore and see if it happens again.

    Sorry I couldn’t be of more help…. good luck!

    jailbreak ios 5 for ipad 2? working?

  • Rohan

    would the GM work?

  • http://twitter.com/Tmani1 Torian Washington

    THANK YOU ALOT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TRYING THIS SINCE THE UPDATE WAS AVALIBLE

  • xnrgy

    YES and NO, latest update is that they have succesfully JB ipad 2 and iP4S, but they need a lot of work before they can release it to the public. No release date as of this moment.

    Still, its something to look forward too for iPAd2 and IP4s owners.

  • xnrgy

    yes it would, no difference between GM and the final release of iOS5.

  • xnrgy

    Yes its through iTunes, but you will need to update itunes to version 10.5 in order for it to work.
    Onced you have done the update, load itunes and press SHIFT+RESTORE and navigate to the folder where you donwloaded the iOS5, select and click update.

  • xnrgy

    You are very welcome torian, hope you have everything sqaured away, enjoy the upgrade!

  • Anonymous

    I have noticed improved performance and battery life. Very good.

  • Anonymous

    Do you iOS 5 or iOS in general. In general, iOS is very stable and feature rich. iOS 5 is a vast improvement over iOS 4, and iOS 5 does’t have any major problems that iOS 4 had.

  • Anonymous

    iOS 5 works on iPhone 3GS, no matter what baseband (it probably updates it though). Once you update your iTunes to 10.5 it should ask if you want to update your iPhone. Manualy doing like these people, still requires iTunes 10.5 but you need to hold SHIFT-RIGHT click on the ‘Restore’ button in iTunes (then it will ask you to find the ipsw you downloaded.

    If you need a jailbreak to use custom baseband or a un-supported carrier, you should stay away from iOS 5 for now.

  • xnrgy

    that would be up to you, if you want some of the changes that iOS5 offers then go for it and update it. I suggest that you go look into apple’s web site and see for yourself what the new firmware has to offer and decide for yourself.
    I am also an iPhone 4 owner and I updated to the new OS, i have no regrets whats so over.

    If you downloaded the iOS5 firmware manually and not via iTunes, makes sure that the file name does not have a ZIP extension, if it does, rename the file to ipsw.

    EXAMPLE: RESTORE.ZIP = RESTORE.IPSW.

    Then go back to iTunes and press SHIFT+RESTORE again and navigate to where you downloaded the newly renamed file.

    I downloaded the firmware, but the actual firmware .ipsw is not in it. Where can I get it?

  • Brian

    just changing it to RESTORE.IPSW does nothing to it. When doing the SHIFT+RESTORE it still don’t see the file even tho I changed the extesion. I there a file inside that is the actual firmware I should be renameing to .IPSW?

  • Roraaa1111

    See ,, go to : organize >Folder And Search options > view > remove the Sign from: “Hide Extensions for Unknow file Types”
    then change it ;) )

    From what I read I am a little afraid to put IOS5 in my iphon4. Will I loose messages???? Backup means that I can put them back again or the update will not touch them? Can anyone inform me about this please?

  • Efadreguilan

    I have upgraded my iphone 4 to iOS 5 but since then I am experiencing signal problems. Whenever I am in a place with no signal the phone will just be in ‘searching’ mode even after going to places where signal is strong. And the only way I can have the signal back is by turning the phone off and on again. What can I do? Thanks!

  • Sofian

    Manually backup your iphone4 files and apps. Do complete restore with latest ios5 as if you buy new iphone4. Do not restore from any backup file previously created in itunes. Mine is ok after that but setting need to be done back one by one…

  • Thomas11enator

    this is annoyin me i keep getting different errors and it wont let me upgrade from 4.3.5 to 5.0..

  • ian

  • Elephant15

    I have a problem downloading and updating it to my iPad 2, It kept on saying “Timed-Out Session”, Even after downloading. Any idea how to resolve this ASAP? Please and thank you.

  • Hameed_wali

  • Abdul

    I f you upgrade to ISO5 from laptop, then I would suggest to update using a desktop computer

  • Abdul

    This has happened to me. Try to connect your I pad to a desktop computer having Itune installed, and then follow the instruction for restoring the software.

  • Abdul

    Try to switch to another computer and preferable to a desktop rather than laptop and give it try.

  • Novaa,

    this doesnt help at all!!! D:<

  • vanilla

    i’m having the same issue… wish i could help but glad i’m not the only one

  • Rodriguezduarte

    i wana feeling…

  • Chogyeltashi

    it sucks.. doesnt work… lets all wait for ios 5.0.2..

  • Rich Northrup

    what is this new software upgrade good for? My phone has never gone slower, I have to reinstall every app I have, and half of it is stuff I wouldnt want on the IPhone anyways. I dont want to be able to be tracked by a satellite and that is all this upgrade seems to want to do by having my location sent. Does anybody have any idea why it makes my phone go so slow?

  • cherrios

    Mine upgraded fine for i4 to OS5.

  • Turdist

    This sucks! I got iOS 5 and now my stupid apps won’t open, my angry birds are not angry !

  • Leighsbrown87

    check your firewall is turned off when downloading the update..i spent a whole day on it and that was the problem!

  • Baseball_guy43

    i go to jailbreak on my ipod 4th gen and it stops during uploading first stage and my screen goes black and doesnt respond and when i go to boot thinking that will fix it, it says unexpected error

  • Anonymous

    apple has the most idiotic idea of an upgrade…

  • Gustin81

    This has got to be one of the most frustrating things to do ever!!! I have tried 4 times now to upgrade and it keeps stopping in the middle of the upgrade and doesn’t say anything to me about why or what!!! UGH!!! This is getting beyond ridiculous I tried upgrading a few months ago and had the same BS I’m lost what AM I DOING WRONG?????

  • Liam

    I wouldn’t bother until they bring a untethered jailbreak out, also preserve your baseband if you want to unlock it or just wait for the Dev team to create unlock for the IOS 5 baseband.

  • http://www.gyllenetider.com Thomas Evensson

    I had the same problem. I found out that the custom ringtones’ original files were missing, so I got them from my other computer and put them i iTunes, then it worked.

  • Darran

  • Upinderjeets

    Firstly can I start of by saying I am extremely annoyed. Okay so I am having trouble activating my iPhone after the iOS 5 upgrade! (5.0.1)

    Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post this, but I couldn’t find an email address for support, and I am really quite fed up with the whole situation!

    I got a pre-owned iPhone 3GS for Christmas from ebay. And as we got home yesterday I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade to the new iOS 5 firmware… How wrong I was.

    5 hours its been since I upgraded my iPhone, 5 hours of looking for solutions as to why my iPhone wouldn’t connect to my carrier.

    “Slide to set up”

    “English” Next

    “United Kingdom” Next

    “Enable Location Services” Next

    “Choose a Network…” select my wifi, Next

    “Activating your iPhone”…”It may take up to three minutes to activate your iPhone”

    ….but it do nothing
    plz help….
