I'm trying to update my Verizon iPhone 4 running 4.2.10 to iOS 5. I keep getting the message "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An internal error has occured." Tried using DFU mode and same problem. Any suggestions? P.S. it is not jailbroken.

Click to expand...

Getting the same thing here on my Verizon iPhone. If you click 'More Information' on the error message, it suggests updating the OS and restarting the computer. I know these are generic steps, but I'm going try it (didn't upgrade 10.7.2 yet) and see if that helps.

I'm upgrading to 10.7.2 to see if that's what the problem is. Unfortunately there's an estimate wait time of 18 hours to download it. Jesus. I can download a 6 gig torrent in 40 minutes. But it takes almost a day to download from Apple :rolleyes:
