iOS5 GM to Full Release

[PirateP]

The GM and today's release are the same thing. So checking for an update isn't going to get you anywhere, because there is no update.

I know that. But it used to day "You are using the most up-to-date iOS" or something like that. Now it shows an error.

Yes everyone gets that

Still, it's a bit unnerving to get this from your phone:
This is displayed on my 3GS running the iOs 5 GM. I don't think you understand if you don't get to see the above picture, so I definitely don't blame you for not getting what he meant. But does anyone else with the final release (yessss, they are the same...) get this though?

Plus this is not the message shown during the iOS5 betas. It would report, "Your software is up to date." or words to that effect.

I am running the GM (clean install) and I see this message.

It has been confirmed that people who update with the final release get the same OTA message as GM people.

Also, the MD5 is the same.

I think we all see that message, but the question is why? I mean if the GM was the exact same as the PR, then surely it would say 'your software is up to date'.

I get it when connected to iTunes, not just OTA.

Since this will be a full version upgrade, it will most likely NOT be OTA due to its size.
Plus there are other mitigating circumstances, such as creating a back up of your iPhone before the upgrade, etc.

Logic says that updates to something like 5.1 and the like should be OTA. But most likely not a full blown OS upgrade to a new version.

Could be wrong though

He asked about updating from GM to todays release. Therefore if there was a difference theres no reason it couldn't be done OTA as it wouldn't be a full upgrade. it'd be a delta update.

However the GM seeded a week ago and today release are identical IPSW's

So just to clarify....

If I have last weeks final GM push for iOS 5, I do NOT need to restore to todays version? Or I DO need to shift+restore to todays version? Help me out. Thanks!!

You don't have to. GM and todays versions are identical in every way.
