I keep getting the this device is not eligible for the requested build error pop up. How can I resolve this? My device is on 4.3.5 but I want to update and can't seem to be able to any way I try.
Got a tip for us?

You need to update to iOS 5.0.1 because iOS 5.0 isn't being signed by apple anymore.
What program? I only had Red Snow and I deleted it right after trying to downgrade. iPad still doesn't want to upgrade to 5.0.1 it says it is not eligible.
Have you tried a full contents erase, etc, ie, a full restore to factory settings, then upgrade? Do the restore on the device first.,
This will work.
Put the phone into DFU mode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_dhb8YsfxQ
Restore to 5.0.1
You cannot, ever, install 5.0.0 on that device.

You know, the one that lets you down grade. That one that has the blobs or something.
SOLVED! I went and edited the Hosts file which had some weird lines that said Block Adobe because I had a cracked Photoshop so I deleted those and there was one line that didn't have a # before it so after I did those things I was able to restore and update.
