I'm guessing from reading through that 15-page out of control thread about how people can't get their iphone to update and "bricking" their phone, this method is the way to go. I've looked online and there are many other places pointing to these same files as well. I have not seen any pointing to any other ios5 IPSW files. I'm confident that these are the exact same files that all those other folks in that other thread are freaking out about not getting through itunes. I have both IPSWs for my iphone and my ipad in a thumb drive in my pocket and I am about ready to go home.
p.s. One guy on the other thread said he downloaded the file that was mentioned in this thread and it worked like a charm. He didn't say anything about losing his apps/music/pics/etc or having to reload them. That's a good sign as well.

i followed these instructions and updated to ios 5 without any issues. before upgrading, i did a full backup on ios 4. then i did a complete restore to ios 5 rather than an incremental upgrade.
i always made sure to upgrade to the most recent itunes and lion.
i'm on 32gb verizon iphone 4.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I really hope in the future Apple would allow you to upgrade from a beta to the final release automatically!!!

You don't. All installs are a complete erase and restore. Make sure your device is backed up or you will loose everything.
I download files for both my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2 and both result in 3002 error. 
I'm trying the iPhone through iTunes again as the download speed is now more reasonable. I really hope this is the last time I have to download a 700+ MB iOS update (OTA deltas, please).

There's no reason to download the update over and over. The servers are being hammered right now which means there's nothing you can do about it. You'll just be wasting bandwidth for no reason.

Same here. How should I try again? I start iTunes and click update and it goes to backing up and the status bar never moves.
The instructions are incorrect. you MUST copy the IPSW file to the iTunes software update folder or you will keep getting the 3002 error.
here's the proper file location for Win7
C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
as soon as you copy, then click the update button and you'll be off and running!

Exactly the same file as if you were doing an update, or a restore.
If you place the file in ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone software update/ (or something along those lines, I'm at work at the moment) you can then click on update in itunes, and it will use the file you put there.
I'm still getting the 3002 error. Update...I thought I still had to do the Shift-Click step. After following your instructions exactly, the update went fast. Much faster than the 8 hours estimate I was getting through iTunes. Thanks for the tip.

Also, on a Mac...
option-Update and updating to the iOS 5 IPSW you have downloaded will also work, as I couldn't update to the iOS 5 GM from beta 7 using an OTA. All info will still be on the iDevice.
(Alt-Update for Windows? Haven't used Win in a while)
Unsure if you are getting this because of:

I tried the tip about placing the Ipsw files. I discovered the same sized file that iTunes had downloaded on prior attempts today. I deleted that and replaced with the downloaded Ipsw from the apple server. Same error.
So, I deleted the file. Restart pc and hard restart iPhone. Try again. This time it prompts to download the update since the file is missing. After the 10 minute download it again goes to backup my iPhone and it again hangs. I don't get it. How is the backup caused by apple's servers being slammed? I'm missing something here.
