Worked on 2nd try

Installed IOS 5.0 on iPad earlier in the day with no problems.

Then tried with iPhone 4 and got 3200 error. Error occurred after downloading IOS 5.0 and just as iTunes was communicating with iPhone.

Here's what worked for me:

1. Unplugged iPhone from USB port and rebooted iPhone.
2. Closed and reopened iTunes.
3. Reconnected iPhone. It gave me message saying IOS 5.0 upgrade available but I cancelled this.
4. Forced a normal sync process.
5. Then clicked Update to IOS 5.0
6. iTunes immediately began communicating with iPhone and update proceeded without problems. Appeared that it still had download of IOS 5.0 in memory as it did not have to download again before updating the iPhone.
7. IOS 5.0 installation completed successfully.

London ish
Just finished the security update (Snow Leopard) and trying again... Don't know if it's just coincidence but the update appears to be working now.

Fingers crossed :)

It will work, you just have to keep trying, I tried updating more than 8 times without changing anything. Finally went through.

It's really just getting through to the server. I tried a few times, didn't do anything, and it eventually worked.

Add me to the club. Error while back-upping as a part of restoring as a part of upgrading to 5.

This is FACKING BRUTAL. Main problem I am having is that the backup takes over an hour.

How are people trying this 10 times in an hour? Im having trouble trying it 2 times in the last 3 hours

Instead of check for update, hit restore. When asked to make backups, make backups.

Wipe iPhone, reinstall firmware, iOS5 goes on, and your backups restored. Turn on phone, iOS5

It still needs to contact the authentication server.

Kept hitting restore again after getting the 3200 error. After the 5th try, its finally working.. didn't do any of the suggested tricks.
