ios5 Error 3200

[dylanursula]

​

A growing thread in our forums reveals many users seeing "Error 3200" while attempting to upgrade to iOS 5.  Speculation points to this just being related to Apple's servers being overloaded, and some users are seeing success after multiple attempts.

At this point, simply waiting and retrying seems to be the best solution.

Error 3200

All

I have successfully downloaded the iPhone ios5 update for my ip4. However after backing up my iphone and extracting the software it gives a 3200 error - any thoughts on fixing it?

Thanks

I got the same on my 3GS. I'm trying a second time, maybe it was just a fluke. Anyone know what this is/how to get around it?

I've tried twice in regular mode, and now on my second time in recovery mode, and i've got nothing , I'm not sure what the heck to do here, i work at 4 and i NEED my phone.

maybe try edit host files. I'm going do that i will be back

From iTunes, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Devices. Select your iPhone and click "Delete Backup". That did the trick for me.

Edit: Apologies. It seems like the Apple servers are just overloaded. Deleting my backups (thought they were corrupt) was just a fluke. Give it time or just keep hitting update and it'll work.

Such a show stopper! I'm experiencing the same thing.

I am also getting error 3200 with a 3GS. I will now try JacobC123's solution.

So the only trick thus far is to completely get rid of all your info on your iphone/ipad? What if you need all that info ( i.e. backup?)

 

[iPhone4UK]

Ok, so editing host files makes no difference. I'm not deleting the back up. no chance.

It will be interesting to see if that works.

Same thing on my 4 with the current OS already on.

Oddly, the update for my AppleTV2 also failed to install.

 

[blurb23]

Even if you do delete the backup, won't iTunes make a new one once you try to update?

 

[xAlmostHuman]

Having the same issue. Tried a few times and still no luck. I don't see how deleting your backup would solve that, so I'm hesitant to try that method.

 

[Gambiit08]

keep getting error 3200...even after deleting backups and using DFU mode...ugh...

 

[iPhone4UK]

this is stupid.

 

[TheOne320]

It shouldn't be that bad, since it creates another backup just before updating the OS.

Doing JacobC123's way didn't solve the 3200 error for me.

I'm on 4.3.5, not jb. Restarting the computer didn't help either.

 

[dylanursula]

I am on 4.3.5 and tried Hosts after putting the iPhone into DFU too
Would welcome more suggestions as Apple Support had NO IDEA~!!!

Doing JacobC123's way did help me

Os 5 install

I have completed the download....on the restore backup it says cannot restore, unknown error 3200. Anyone know what up?
