My IP4 is now reg as a dev unit ....
Should I load up iOS 5 beta 1 or just wait until the GM build? Really gotta think about this ...
"Mert Erdir has found a way to activate iOS 5 beta 1 without having a developer account, reports Gizmodo.
My will is not to do something harmful to anyone, I just wanted to get the attention of Apple, the company I'm in love with; and maybe one day have a chance to talk to/meet Steve Jobs himself. You can reach me on Twitter for further questions.
I found this because I don't have much cash to get an IOS Developer account, so donations for a young developer will be appreciated. They can be made on my blog (not in english). You'll see the PayPal donate button on the right. Thanks!
Warning: We do not recommend that anyone who is not a developer install iOS 5. Proceed at your own risk...
Instructions:
Before starting make sure you have downloaded iOS 5.0 and installed by Shift/Option clicking Update or Restore in iTunes.
1. Triple click the home button. This will activate the Voice Over.
2. Triple click the home button and Emergency Call will appear.
3. Click on Emergency Call and, while it's switching, swipe with your three fingers down.
4. The Notification Center will appear!
5. Click on the Weather widget. The Weather app will load." |

I tried this just now and it gave me an error msg when I did the restore. It got as far as loading the file in iTunes...
The only file I could find was
iPhone3,1_5.0_9A5220p_Restore (1).ipsw
I even got the beta iTunes 5.0...
Any ideas John?? |

No idea, if I'm gonna do it I'm doing it the Dev way ...
Beta vers are really sketchy in the past. |

Re:iMessage
Green = SMS & Blue = iMessage
Once you sent your SMS off, iOS5 will detect if your other party is using iOS5 also and automaticly it will be iMessage from now on. |

I used 10.5 but I think the iOS 5 firmware was no good. It gave me some error msg...
Can you send me a link to the one that you used?? |

Did you activate the voice over???
You have to double tap. |

"Update:
These instructions will let you bypass activation but apparently will not activate cellular service. You can still use them to preview the operating system but without the ability to make calls, it's far less useful.
Those with an iPod touch could try the instructions posted by Lean in the comments since cellular service is not an issue with that device." |
