Only one day left until the official arrival of iOS 5Many of us have been able to try it already thanks to the betas and especially to the Golden Master version.
In conversations with blog readers I have detected battery consumption problems mainly, when in my case the battery lasts me practically twice as long as with iOS 4.3.3.
The main reason is that these problem users have restored and then used their backupIn other words, they have configured their iPhone as "blablabla iPhone ..." loading unnecessary, corrupted or jailbroken files on the iPhone if they had one.
The solution is very simple and you can read it after the jump:
You have to do a clean restore, that is, "set as new iPhone."
This has its pros and cons. The benefits are obvious, we will not drag any problem or anything incompatible or unnecessary to the new system. For me this reason is more than enough to do it.
The bad thing about configuring your iPhone as if it were new, the loss of some data, below we will tell you which ones will be saved and which ones will not, although there is always an option to save them all that we are telling you:
Call history: is lost.
Agenda: is saved, it's in iTunes (as long as you sync your iPhone before updating).
SMS: are lost, you can save them as follows (you need to jailbreak):
We access the iPhone by SSH using Cyberduck on Mac or WinSCP on Windows.
Let's go to the path var / Mobile / Library / SMS
We save the SMS.db file on the computer.
Then you can put it back on the iPhone (with jailbreak).
Emails: The emails are associated with your accounts, if you have them associated with iTunes they will be again when you restore, if not as soon as you re-enter your email accounts you will have everything as at the beginning.
Notes: is saved, it's in iTunes (as long as you sync your iPhone before updating).
Photos: The photos on the roll will not return to it if you restore as a new iPhone, it is recommended to extract them with iPhoto if you have a Mac or with Windows Explorer itself if you have a PC.
What I do is make a folder / album called "Reel iOS 4" and sync it later, so I still have the photos from my iPhone on the iPhone itself.
Applications: are saved, it's in iTunes (as long as you sync your iPhone before updating).
Saved games and application data: They are lost, but you can save them if you have jailbreak:
You can get them out by hand via SSH, a bit annoying.
You can use a Cydia app like DataDeposit which will upload the data of the applications you want to Dropbox.
There are others like AppLinks also in Cydia.
After the restoration we will have to re-enter the games by SSH.
Settings: They are lost, you will have to reconfigure your automatic lock, your alarms, etc.
Cydia: Everything you have jailbroken will be lost. You can use applications like PKGbackup or APT backup to save everything you have installed and reinstall it later, but you will be doing the same, importing incompatibilities.
My advice is that you write down what you have installed on a piece of paper and then install again one by one to see which one you need and which one you don't and to see if any causes any incompatibility.
NOTE: some of the solutions that I propose to not lose anything require jailbreak both to extract data and to re-enter it, my advice is to wait until there is jailbreak for iOS 5 before updating.
Well, I do not know, I have done a restoration "from zero" to iOS 5 without putting a backup copy and the battery lasts the same or even a little less than with 4.3.X ... I doubt that the problem is to put or not put the copy of security…
Thanks man, very helpful, especially about saving the messages and the games.
A greeting.
Gnzl, what do you say that the battery lasts twice as long ... Is that real or is it gone?
It seems very complicated to me that it lasts half for some and twice as long for you. The difference seems to me abysmal so that the only difference is restored as a new iPhone. And good that it lasts the same as with ios 4 it can be, but that it lasts much longer with ios5 ... I wish it were true Gnzl.
It lasts twice as long with iOS 4 with a ton of tweaks installed and a full year without restoring.
It lasts me exactly two days.
.
I can tell vincent that I do this with 4 years of experience and hundreds of restorations.
.
Each one is free to restore or update, this is simply my advice.
Say, that for my part, and like Gnzl, the battery is lasting twice as well (which I was very pleasantly surprised). As long as you do a clean install like "new iphone"….
The only bad thing is that I have lost the jailbreak, so I'll wait for the untethered version to be released ...
Well, I think that is a placebo effect, it is impossible that with iCloud (which is connected to the internet all day) and an OS that consumes more resources than the previous one, the battery lasts one more day ...
It lasts only 12 hours for me, I take it out at 7am and at 7pm it is already dead with iOS 5.0 GM
And if someone is in doubt, they can always update, check current battery life and in case Gnzl (+) choose the restore option, right?
If you have had a jailbreak I do not recommend it, from iOS 4.3.2 to 4.3.3 yes, but from iOS 4 to iOS 5 no.
A question nothing more. I was considering restoring from scratch to iOS 5, and I have a question to solve those problems with lost data.
If I first update to iOS 5, I make a backup with iCloud, and then I restore as a new iPhone, won't we recover the sms and other things like that without the need for jailbreak?
iCloud does not save Pau sms.
.
and the saved games will only save those of the apps compatible with iCloud (which are not many)
iCloud backs up:
Music, apps and books that you have bought
Photos and videos of the Reel
Device Settings
Application data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS and MMS) ———-> I would say that it does copy the SMS ...
tones
In settings I do not get the option, but I have not tried it, if you copy them, updating and then restoring would be a good option.
I forgot the link:
http://www.apple.com/es/icloud/features/apps-books-backup.html
Thanks!! I will try to see what is not synchronizing ... If not, I suppose I can always go back to restore and recover the last backup ...
A Gnzl doubt and so I anticipate tomorrow: those of us who have the GM of iOS 5 installed when the official version comes out, what will happen…. Do we stay as is? And if we update, what would it be like to have the GM?
Thank you!!
I have the iOS5 GM and it is doing better than the betas regarding the battery. I would wait for the finale or for Apple to fix it. Telling the club to do so much work so that it finally loses all its data or having to do JB seems crazy and absurd to me. Let's think that it is not a failure that could not be solved (in the case that it is a failure, it lasts for me as normal) as it has happened with other iOS.
Wow, you don't even know that the GM and the final are the same 95% of the time and you venture to say that what I say is absurd?
.
There is no problem, the battery lasts two days.
.
If someone does not last a day, it is most likely that the problem is with their iPhone, and that they have an iPhone different from another? The backup.
.
By not putting it in, all the data is not lost as you say, only some that we have also explained how to recover.
.
We do not force anyone, the post is called "TIPS for updating to iOS 5".
What patience!!!!!!! It is almost better that you do not read the comments, because after taking so much work having to put up with certain characters ......
Thanks for your effort and your work….
Thanks Superalfre, for a person who gives thanks, it is worth the work.
A greeting.
How long does your battery last twice with iOS5GM? You do not believe it or you ... HAHAHAHA With iOS5GM they have managed to solve the excessive battery consumption of previous betas, and it is true that perhaps it lasts a little longer than with iOS 4.3.3, but twice as long !!! No way !!!
Hi gnzl thanks for the tip. The history of whatsapp, another thing that is lost ... right?
I've been weighing it up, and I'm going to do it tomorrow as you say; I never would have thought about the unnecessary files.
But what Gnzl says escapes me:
"Agenda: saved, it's in iTunes (as long as you sync your iPhone before updating it)."
Not losing it, as I imagine it to you, is the most important thing for me. How would it be done?
How from a "virgin" iPhone do you get the agenda from iTunes again?
Thanks people!!!
Gnzl another who thanks you! Let's see how I finally do it for the issue of the loss of games and other things of the applications…. What a rage about the jailbreak and the files! If I go through 4.3.5 first, won't a cleaning be done? Haha greetings and a very good post!
You are the only blog that has put advice that is already enough to value it a lot! 😉
If I do the copy with iCloud today, install the iOS and restore tomorrow the copy of iCloud today, would it give me the same problems? Or is it better to start tomorrow from scratch?
The iCloud copy has no problems, the problem is the computer backup, which has jailbreak files and settings that correspond to another system.
Some are heavy for commenting and others for criticizing comments.
I do not believe that the iPhone battery lasts twice as long (unless you have it on the bedside, without notes and without data connections). But starting from the fact that it lasted twice as long ... it would not be (at least not only) for having restored as a new iPhone, but for the better management that 5.0 makes of resources.
I am very amused by the importance that Gnzl gives itself, arguing its extensive experience in the sector, when it is still a user like any of us. Another thing is that a hacker is created by using terms like "userland", "tethered", "bootrom" and so on.
PS: let's not forget the great and reputable editors it has, little kids who think this is a blog instead of a serious page.
And by the way, when they don't like a comment they delete it, whether it is argued or not. This is how their hair shines.
Look Jesus, at no time have I said that I am a hacker, I have said that I give advice due to my experience, that I have it, whether you like it or not, because it is many years.
.
On the other hand, insults are forbidden, and "little boy" is an insult, especially if you insult a person who is surely older than you, who has a superior career, and a very good job; and that he does this as a hobby.
.
I do not delete the comment, which is obvious that you lack respect, to be able to answer you, but do not doubt that I will do it if you insult again.
In the second meaning of the word child, according to the RAE, we can see that it means: "Said of a young man: No experience." As far as I'm concerned it's not an insult, I still won't use it from now on.
He may be older than me, he may not, and in fact I am happy for his career and for his good work… but I am not judging his professional career, but his validity as an editor for a technology news page. I consider that as a daily reader of this website I have the right to do so.
I hope that this answer is within the thresholds of respect that you consider reasonable.
All the best
Insane. Boosting your own replies with thumbs up and throwing an unfair slab of negative votes at readers who dare to argue with you.
-
Now I have seen it all!
-
We editors cannot vote Jesus.
Leave it now, please.
Emtones tomorrow I install the new one from the iCloud copy and without problems? And about what time does someone come out?
Gnzl, you are a machine, do not take the comments the wrong way, people are a little nervous with the super brand new IOS 5, and so many changes arrive that create insecurity in the brotherhood. Look, with the ios 5 gm I also do not notice an improvement with the battery consumption, it lasts a maximum of one day and with little difficulty, and I have it restored to 0.
It is true that there are iPhones that last 2 days and others one, because luckily or unfortunately I have 5 .. I get the feeling that the problem is another, could it be that these batteries are defective? Or the loads that are carried out are not correct ,,,
I install
Tomorrow the
New iOS and I restore the copy of iCloud and without problems then? Does anyone know what time it is released?
[edited: we do not support piracy]
You do not support piracy !! and you are tired of publishing JailBreak here…. JailBrak… .. on the other hand I learned to hack my iphone in this blog… how curious that you do not support what you teach to do…. be a few more serious ... .. please. Thank you anyway.
Dude, JailBreak does not imply hacking. It gives you the option to install Cydia tweaks. That you use it to hack is another thing.
Thanks for the tips, man !! Many thanks !!
But how do you do the restoring of the agenda once you have chosen "Set up as a new iPhone"?
You have not explained it in the tutorial, and I think many of us would appreciate it very much ...
You just have to select the option in iTunes «Synchronize calendar»
GNZL you have more patience than a saint, when you read so much stupid comment, think that every abnormal who writes complaining there are 50 people who are very satisfied with the work that you do that they do not write. I do not understand the people who are dedicated to trying to sink what works ... I had an iPhone website and I left it for a group of abnormals, don't do the same yourselves!
Thanks djdared 😉
Gnzl I think you may be right but this comment in the paragraph is totally unnecessary "that he has a superior career, and a very good job" (referring to your person). It is not relevant nor do you have more or less reason for the subject of your studies. What's more, a large number of hackers or important people in the sector do not have your studies anywhere, and yet they are real machines.
Regards,
Some of them exhaust my patience, it was just an answer to the "little boy" thing,
not the explanation of my iPhonera experience
Hello gnzl!
The sms could not catch the file now with jailbreak done, and then with ios5 and diskaid insert it? I'm not sure if this could be done without a diskaid jailbreak ...
Without jailbreak you don't get to the Andres route, you need a jailbreak.
After reading everything carefully, I found it very good advice, to update to Ios5 in a clean way, since like many others, I am one of those that the battery lasts a day, and if I go to the bathroom a lot or that ...
Just say that I'm going to start the task today, since I see that there is much to do, if I want to keep my games, sms, cydia app ...
Thank you again for the advice, and the help provided.
I suppose that you lose the issue of folders with apps and you have to do them again, right?
Cheer up Gnzl. Think that these are times of crisis, and there are many people who the gene to "fuck all day" has been activated.
Great job.
A greeting.
Thank you Gnzl for your answer. Well, if so, it's a bummer, because I don't want to jailbreak ios5 at the moment. We don't even talk about whatsapp then right? There is no way to backup whatsapp conversations to restore them later? Because it does give the option of sending you the histories by email but then it cannot be restored ...
Greetings.
A question for Gnzl, those of us who have the IOS 5 GM installed, tomorrow when the IOS 5 is officially released, will we update automatically or will we have to do something? Thanks in advance, you are a great help.
Gnzl if you restore from a copy of icloud is the same as from itunes, or at least I understand that. Note that when you choose the option to save a copy in icloud the copy of itunes is ignored, they cannot go together, so which makes me think that they both work the same way.
regards
so gnzl, is it worth waiting for the jail to come out for ios5 right? Since you can keep everything except the applications you have cydia downloads like iblacklist, celeste, etc. right? Or for these applications that I have paid for when the jail is over, I can download them again, but this time for free?
Yes, vicente. you can download them again without problem
but if I actualize I don't have them until there isn't a jail unthetered, right? and I put them down again, thanks you are a crack
The Gnzl truth is that I find this type of article great, I have read everything that has been published and I am impressed with some characters ... I am not very fond of blogging, although I do read many, and I never quite understand what that certain people will find it difficult to speak with respect… Do they really speak like that on the street or with their friends / families? Anyway…
Anyway, I have not had the same luck as you with the battery life ... On Monday I updated to iOS5 GM and I perceive exactly the same duration (neither had I jailbreak nor do I have it now). What I have found is that I could only upgrade to iOS5 from a Mac, since there is no version of iTunes compatible with iOS5 for Windows, when my iPhone backup had it on Windows. So at the moment I have not been able to restore my previous backup ... At least I have not been able to take my iTunes backup from Windows to Mac (I do not know if it is possible and I have not found a solution).
Anyway, now I am curious about what will happen tomorrow after the final version of iOS5 and iTunes 10.5 are released… Should I restore again with the new firmware? Will it require some kind of restoration? Tomorrow we will leave doubts ...
A greeting!
If we copy our photos in Windows through the explorer and then we copy back to the iPhone, all the locations that had been saved with each photo are lost, right?
Hello, is there a way to save the history of whatsapp by SSH as it is done with SMS?
Thank you very much for the article and the help.
But then it doesn't hit "restore backup", right? If you give the iPhone like new, it already gives you the contacts directly?
It may not make sense but it is what I intend to do! I'm going to synchronize and delete the iPhone 4, from iPhone settings I have it without jailbraek so it will be a few seconds! I will download iOS 5 from iTunes, I connect iPhone, I update and configure the iPhone again as new then I delete again in iPhone settings and I will configure it with my backup copy
In theory the new iOS will be installed purely on the iPhone and then it should not be corrupted with the backup
It is the backup that can corrupt, not when you put it. If you put your backup, sooner or later, you may have problems, so we recommend not doing it.
You can always try putting it and if it does not go well you follow our tutorial.
I think from my humble opinion, that maybe it is to update with restoration of the old ios 4xx, to 5, and once the iclound theme is configured, with the compatible applications, restore the terminal as new and configure the iclound account, and thus in this way put only what interests us again.
Also, we can make a backup copy before the process, and leave the terminal clean for a few days to see the new features without interference, so we will know if some applications that we had so far are no longer necessary.
This is my humble opinion.
Greetings to all, and we do not get upset about things that are not necessary, congratulations for the post and the advice, and for the blog in general.
Sirlordakira.
By the way, iTunes 10.5 will be released at the same time as iOS 5 or will it be released today? ...
One question, that that the saved games and the data of the apps are deleted.
Would my Game Center records be erased? That is, for example, in Angry Birds or Fragger, would I have to pass all the levels again?
This is how I understood it and it seems like a big shit to me.
Game center no, but if you don't save them the passed screens would be lost.
If you restore your backup you don't lose anything, although your battery may last less.
Hello, I NEED HELP! I installed iOS 5 on my iPad 2, but I couldn't enter my songs or apps, it gave me an error and iTunes 10.5 would close. So I want to install Final iOS tomorrow, but how do I do it? How do I erase the backup of iPad 2 to make it look like a new one? HELP.
Hello again GNZL!
First of all, thank you for all the time you dedicate to us!
Let's see I want to do a clean restoration as you recommend, but the subject of saved games has me very pissed off because I have "hundreds of games" and I don't want to lose the games until there is a jail ...
My question is how I think I remember someone above has asked. If I update to io5, with my backup (I have it with jail), we upload the copy to icloud and then configure it as a new iphone.
Is all the app data and game recordings uploaded to iCloud or do they have to be enabled for each app / game?
Thank you very much 1Greeting !!!
If you want to keep your iPhone 4 with iOS 4 as close as possible when updating to iOS 5. The first thing is to make a backup on your pc or Mac. Back up what you can by ssh or ifunbox. Then only if there is already wireless jailbreak for iOS 5. Upgrade to iOS 5. Restore the backup. Backup to iCloud. Restore iOS and set up as new iPhone. Restore the iCloud backup. Make the jailbreak enter the data that you backed up by ssh or ifunbox. You should already have an iPhone with iOS 5 as close to when you had it with iOS 4.
The issue of the backup that Gonzalo says is simply for a reason (apart from the battery issue that certainly some may do better and others not) ... If you notice when the iOS is updated (and I speak within the same version, that is, from for example 4.2.1 to 4.3.3), many of the Cydia applications you have do not work, or work badly, in that new version and have to be updated. Well, if you recover a backup in which there is data from that app incompatible with that new version of iOS, you are already dragging bugs and errors that part of the battery life can affect other things.
.
I want to say that having your iPhone totally clean is not recommended, but almost mandatory for what may happen; And if we no longer speak within the same version of iOS, but a completely new one such as iOS 5, much more.
.
By the way Gonzalo, when the criticism already goes to the personal you should delete the post. And in this thread you have been criticized personally. I certainly do not tolerate that. All the best.
Another way is to use PKGbackup for everything, since it lets you save both the games and data of applications and Apple's own applications, that is, the calendar, camera photos, contacts, telephone, sms, etc ... And also as Gnzl says everything related to Cydia. And the good thing is that you can upload everything to dropbox, and then retrieve it from there. I don't know if it will work with version 5, but with version 4 it is how I used to do it.
The problem with PKGBackup is that if you also restore the Cydia, in the end it is the same as if you restored the backup. I simply, and as Gonzalo says, what I do is point (which I have already done since my first restoration), the Cydia apps that I use, I make sure that they are compatible with the new iOS, and then I return them to install from scratch. If one is not, I hope it is, or simply, if it is an essential app for me, I will not upload from iOS until it is.
But if there is still no jailbreak for ios 5, how do you put cydia and its apps again?
For the iPhone there is, although at the moment it is tethered. However, it is "assumed" that the hackers already have the untethred prepared for when the final version (tomorrow) of iOS 5 comes out. The truth is, I don't know if they will wait for the release of 4S to publish them or not. .
.
Anyway, if there were no jail for iOS 5, you could not use the PKGBackup either because it is a Cydia app and by the nose you have to have the jail.
Hello!! I have a question. I already have iOS5 and a backup in iCloud (contacts, calendar…). If I choose to restore as a new iPhone… how can I later transfer my data? Because if I put it from iCloud ... in the end I would be putting everything back as a backup ... I don't know if I explain myself, xD
It is not the same, iCloud is selective; iTunes gets you all, good or bad.
Let's see, if you only and exclusively talk about data such as Agenda, calendars, etc, etc, it would not matter exactly the same. The real problem with restoring the backup is ONLY for the Cydia apps. That is, a person who has not even jailed it could perfectly recover his backup when uploading from iOS without any fear.
.
The problem is given because if you have an iPhone with jail and Cydia app's installed, when making a backup copy in iTunes, that copy also includes data from the Cydia app's that modify system files.
So if it's like you say, it's a problem that only affects people with Jail, but in the article it seems to be a problem that affects everyone.
For my part I will update as always, through iTunes, since I have never made it JB
Yes, I think it only affects jailbroken people, I can't confirm it because I've never had an iPhone without jailbreak.
Well, what I'm going to do is put iOS 5, put the backup made with iOS 4.3.3 (the one I have right now), that iCloud makes its copy in the cloud of contacts, saved games and others (apparently YES He does it as they already commented in another post http://www.apple.com/es/icloud/features/apps-books-backup.html) iCloud backs up:
Music, apps and books that you have bought
Photos and videos of the Reel
Device Settings
Application data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS and MMS)
tones
And once the copy is made in iCloud, put the iOS 5 CLEAN again and free of "trash" (in iCloud, "parts altered" of the system by the Jail are not saved, only data from apps such as notes, games, etc. , etc) and then "restore" only from iCLOUD.
I do not know if I have expressed myself clearly xD.
If iCloud really works like that, I honestly don't know, it would certainly be a perfect solution, in my opinion. Your Gonzalo, what do you think about LuixmaN's contribution?
I join the question!!! What do you think Gonzalo?
Constructive question.
What will happen to the itunes to which we have the beta? Can we update it directly from the soft update of the mac or do we have to download it and install it?
And not to lose Safari favorites ????
Good afternoon!
Gnzl, first of all thank you very much for the advice that you offer us daily, and especially these now. Because if it were not for these tips, surely half of us would have updated without contemplation haha.
Right now, the only thing that worries me the most is losing the games of some of the games and the messaging data.
I will try what was said about making the copy to iCloud, but ... sorry for my ignorance, but if iCloud comes out together with the iOS 5 update, we will have to wait until tomorrow to synchronize, or is there an app that can be synchronized in the cloud and is "compatible" with iCloud?
Hahaha, I repeat, sorry for my ignoranceaa 😛
Thank you very much in advance!
Does the Gevey Sim work ?????????????????? Thanks !!
Does it happen to someone who with the GM version when you give to update version gives you an error and puts a retry?
me too
What time will iOS 5 be available for download? Thank you.
hey, but let's say the way I have the apps arranged is lost, that is, the folders! I have almost 200 apps arranged in folders, is that also lost?
LPAlonzo: if you don't have a jailbreak, you are one of those people who are worth loading the backup
I have not always had a jailbreak, but if you are right one causes problems, when I go from 3.x to 4.0 with the 3gs the proximity sensor when calling off the screen and not turning it on again, had to lock the mobile, and then it worked. When I bought the iPhone 4, and I gave it a copy restore, that problem happened to the new mobile, what I did to fix it was to restore all the settings and it was solved, could this measure work? oq you recommend me, xq where this app happens to me is with the ipad. Every time I restore it and give it a backup copy of the apps I had but it doesn't order them, then I have to do it manually (tedious), and I don't know why. what do you advise me?
Yes, what about those of us with the iTunes beta and the iOS 5 GM?
I don't understand, so you have to restore it before updating it and then configure it as "Bla bla blaa iphone ..."? Thank you.
I want to know that myself .. xD and the approximate time that it will be able to download ..
In the iPhone 3g I stayed in recovery mode when restoring the iPhone it came out (error 1015 I think) I am afraid that when restoring the 4 the same thing will happen to me, can someone help me? Thanks!
Hello, if you get the error 1015 you don't have to worry, put in google »solution error 1015 itunes» and you will get a program to solve it. Lucky
Hey.
If I do an IOS5 installation, it clears the telephone configurations such as SMS that the operator programmed, in this case Movistar is lost or continues, as well as "Internet sharing" that the operator disables them?
I appreciate the answers in advance.
I have several doubts, that we have to restore it before 5.0 is released? or as soon as you let us know that we have new versions, do we download and intsalar or show it later and once restored, click for updates and update it?
Will I be able to continue using my GEVEY?
Forgive my clumsiness, but there is one fundamental thing that I do not understand. Many of the options put that it is saved in iTunes and that the iphone has to be synchronized before restoring. But once we have restored the iphone to iOS5 if we select to configure new iphone. How do we load this data saved in iTunes?
Hello everyone, I have the same question as Andrés, what do we who install the IOS5 GM have to do? Is it necessary to downgrade (I hope not….)? And do you know from what time the official version can be installed?
Thank you all !!
Yay, many of us are already excited about the arrival of iOS5, the truth is, I don't know what time it will be released, but I already want to have it on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 to see how it goes.
The recommendations seem great to me, I will definitely take them into account, the truth, the most important thing that I need to save from my iPhone, are the contacts and nothing else, the photos do not matter to me, and then the Jailbreak, can wait, until now have a safe Unthethered version, and that I only use Jailbreaks for Tweaks and Utilities like Open Notifier and things like that
Gnzl a little thing, I have tried the sms one time and nothing, it causes the sms application to crash and close with what you can not send or receive sms, I say it as info since I have tried, for other people to avoid
Greetings and congratulations for the great success of the web!
Gnzl express yourself better please or make a tutorial with the steps to follow to make a clean restoration .. xk m it would be pretty damn to lose the contacts, the rest m da =
Thank you
If you look at iTunes, you will see that in the information tab YOU CHOOSE WHAT is synchronized and WHERE (Outlook, Agenda, etc.) That is, the contacts are not in iTunes, they are in a program on your system (as I have already said, it can be Outlook , Windows Contacts, etc.)
Everything that is synchronized there with the computer is not lost EVEN IF YOU BUY A MOBILE FROM ANOTHER BRAND (as long as in the synchronization program you choose where you have the contacts / notes / etc.)
ok nana i never stopped to look at the contacts, i thought that staban dntro d itunes ym ruke xk how do i configure new iphone .. na thanks
Hello everyone,
Does the same thing happen to me? I have tried to do a restore using iTunes, and when I return it to factory settings, it tells me that it cannot download the specified files…. What I can do?
is there any way to do a restore without iTunes and without charging my iphone?
Thanks to all
I have connected both the ipad and the iphone to iTunes and it tells me that the latest version is 4.3.5. Weren't we going to have iOS 5 today?
The same thing happens to me this morning… does anyone know what time we can update it ????
Well, I have tried to restore from iCloud and when I connect for the first time it tells me that there is no backup
I summarize: iTunes backup, 5GM update, restore from iTunes and iCloud sync… start over… complete data erasure… clean iphone
It gives me the option to restore icloud, itunes, or clean install.
- If I say icloud it tells me that there is no copy
- I say clean installation and coming to iCloud I see that I still have the data from yesterday
-¿? ¿? ¿? It does not give me the option to restore them from the iphone
- If I connect in itunes it tells me to enable the new name
- I'm afraid of crushing the above (I don't know whether to change my name or use the same one)
Solution:
For now, erase iPhone data and restore with iTunes from scratch
Hello Gnzl, last year (I think) I installed the jailbreak on my iPhone 3Gs, but after a few months I decided to restore the computer with iTunes. I have downloaded all the updates, I leave the latter that must enter today (12/10/2011), in my case, it is possible that my computer keeps unnecessary, corrupt files or files from the jailbreak that I perform at some point. Also, I would appreciate it if you could tell me how I make sure that these files are also deleted from the order. Thank you in advance for your help 🙂
I can't update it, after making the backup copy and extracting the software, my iphone 4 restarts (so far everything normal) and then it gives me an unknown error (3200)
any advice, solution?
The same thing happens to me, I get an error when trying to update. Does anyone know the reason or any solution?
Hello, I have the same problem as piscinaembarillao, same error, when performing the restoration. I am trying a thousand things but it is impossible, any ideas?
Same, error after backup.
They comment that the problem is that the servers are saturated and that we will have to wait ...
Please, if someone tries this so as not to lose the recorded games of the games, comment if it has worked for them!
I have thought to do this with icloud:
1st Update from 4.XX to ios 5 loading my backup
2º Upload everything to icloud (here I would keep my copies of games)
3º Restore as new iphone
4th Load a copy of iCloud
By the way I ask all this because I understand that it is highly recommended to do this if you have had a jailbreak to avoid dragging errors to ios 5
Thanks guys! shortly download ios5 !!!!
Could someone indicate exactly what to do to install official ios5 if we already have ios5GM? Several colleagues have asked but you do not give an answer. Thanks a lot.
Hey.
I also had inconveniences to install iOS 5 with the same error, but in the end I was able to install it perfectly and then I offer you the steps that I followed:
When installing Itunes 10.5 restart the PC, but not before having disabled the antivirus, also restart the iPhone, and that is how it worked for me.
I hope they help serve
Hi very good.
I installed the update of IOs 5. Now I have a small problem, I gave it to restore by iTunes to save configurations and such ... and everything appears perfect, except the applications that I had installed, and I had many. My question is: How do I get them back?
I have another question: are all conversations from programs like whassapp lost?
gnzl, a question, regarding the commented subject, this is what I did:
-Upgrade to ios 5
-Create an Icloud backup
-restore cleanly
-Recover iCloud backup
My question: iCloud also drags all these useless cydia files you are talking about? ok then what i did?
I think I messed it up. I have updated as a new copy, but when I started when I was connected to iTunes it asked me to restore the saved copy. I said no, but he only gave me this option.
When restarting the saved copy, I had to reconfigure almost everything again (like when the first one turned on ...
I do not have jailbreak so in principle it should not have corrupt files at least for that reason.
To start again, should I press the restore button in iTunes ???
Thank you. I always follow you by rss !!!
A correction to the article: to save the call history you just have to copy the file call_history.db located in / private / var / wireless / Library / CallHistory /
Hi Gnzl,
I have tried updating, restoring before, my iPhone with Jailbreak. I have a major problem. Could you send me an email to comment and see if there is a solution?
Thank you
comment here, maybe it serves others
Okay. Well, the case is the following:
Yesterday I started updating my iPhone with Jailbreak 4.3.3. When trying to restore, iTunes told me that it could not connect with apple and, well, I thought that using the ipsw of the 4.3.3 that I had from the Jailbreak and Tinyumbrella with the saved shsh I could do something.
Well, after trying, I get an unknown error 1 when there is more than a third of the software loading bar left. I realized that, I don't know why, the shsh that I thought I had saved was not there and my iPhone has stayed in recovery mode and there is no way to get it out of there.
Today I realized that I have a shsh of version 4.0.1 and I hope that it is worth to be able to get the phone out of this infinite hell that is killing me (you have to see what this phone does).
Anyway, what do you recommend?
(This is a summary of what happened this morning).
All the best
Hello again,
I don't know how I did it but I was able to get the phone back.
He is already alive and well. Thank you.
Regards and cogratulations for the blog
What I have done has been to update to ios 5, install the applications I need, make a backup in icloud and then from the iphone restore and restore the icloud backup, since in the icloud backup only the data of the installed applications. I think it is the best option not to lose photos, etc.
When I say install the applications that I need, I mean that I restore the backup of ios 4.3.5 and install the applications that I need, for example emoji we no longer need it, since it comes by default.
is what I'm doing now 😉
Thanks for confirming this method
regards
I have done the same: I install iOS 5, I restore everything from iTunes, I backup in iCloud, I reboot the entire device, and when the configuration begins, I choose to restore from iCloud.
Fucking no, the following.
You remove junk files and you don't lose anything at all.
I am very happy.
I have updated the Iphone, after having made a backup. Everything has been installed correctly from iTunes but having restarted the iPhone with all the applications, it turns out that when I try to access them it does not leave me and returns to the menu screen.
Any solution?
Thank you!!!
Good morning, I am from Mexico and I have an original Iusa iPhone 3Gs with jailbreak, I want to update to IOS 5 can I do it directly or do I have to restore as a new iPhone? I thank you very much in advance for your help.
Please how to recover that I did not backup and I have lost everything when updating to 5
Bad luck ... you will see how for the next one it does not happen to you
The same thing happened to me but I had an old copy. I lost messages, photos and music.
is there a way to go back to the previous day's settings? or recover that information deleted when updating?
all the best
Returning to restore as iPhone from ...
Hello good evening.
I have an Iphone 4 released by IMEI from Movistar.
My question is as follows, can I update it to iOS5 firmware? No problem.
Thanks for your response
juaduyudu, you shouldn't have a problem.
Just make sure you have a good backup and have synced with iTunes.
Greetings.
hello good afternoon.
I hope and you can help me I try to update my iphone to ios5 but when making the backup it indicates that it cannot be done due to an error (-50) and that if I want to continue, everything I have on the iphone will be lost, My question is if I can generate a copy with the current version that I have of ios which is 4.3.5 and update to ios 5 and once I have this, I can upload my copy with the previous ios, can I do this without losing the new platform? ?
Hola!
I also tried the SMS to avoid losing them, remove the file with iFile, install iOs 5, put the Jail, put the file back in the corresponding path, and nothing, nor did it show me the old ones, nor did I receive new ones. Any solution?
Auxillio !!!!! a great question …… .. in December 2010 I bought an itouch 4 and first I put the ios 4.2.1 on it I NEVER MADE THE JAILBREAK, now the ios 5 is out and the problem is that I want to update it but they tell me that I will lose my info (especially my songs) ……. I already tried all the programs, plugins and others that say they work but none of them recognizes the ipod …… .. Could someone tell me if it is possible to update it if I need to lose my songs ?????????? ????????
The solution to all your problems is to buy a smartphone with an Android operating system, and don't get scammed by companies like Apple.
I have copied the file that theoretically saves the SMS but when I add it nothing comes out, any solution?
Gnzl you can also save the data of sms and calls and the applications you want through a program like iBackapBot for iTunes, right?
I have a serious problem, my iphone 4 has version 4.3.3 and they installed Cydia, I really don't know if I have SHSH, I only know that SHSH IOS 4.3.5 appears in Cydia, now, what I want is to restore it and be able to update to IOS 5.0 no longer interests me the Jailbreak the only thing I want is to have my iPhone updated and legal. Could you help me?
I have updated 2 iphone 4, mine and my wife's and very well ... no problem I have not lost anything, of course first you have to go to (itunes and make a copy of everything) that the mac does by itself as always you plug usb and that's it after making the copy of all photos contacts apps etc ... update ios 5 with the option (new iphone) and once finished and updated you will have almost nothing on the iphone and you reconnect usb to mac and itunes and it becomes to put everything on your site (contacts apps etc ...)
If I have paid applications, can I recover them? or do I have to pay them again?
Can you help me sync my iphone 3 to the new version
Hi, I was on ios 4.3.3 and I was jailbroken. Following your advice, I made a backup with itunes, I restored as a new iphone to ios 5.0.1, but when connecting to itunes, it put the backup automatically so I imagine that I have dragged all the garbage, right?
Now I have a copy in iCloud, would it be a good idea to restore as a new iphone and put the copy of iCloud or is it the same as I have already done?
Thank you!!
yes, it would be a good idea
After restoring as a new iPhone and putting the copy of iCloud, it is still too early to say if my battery lasts longer, but I can say that I have more space.
Thank you!
Gnzl, let's see if I understood correctly (because I probably went to the iPhone 4S and now I have the 3GS), if I make a backup copy in iCloud and then restore it to the new iPhone, won't it drag the errors that I may have from all the restorations that I have done, jailbreak, return to no jailbreak ... Etc (what may be causing the exaggerated consumption of battery x example)?
Thanks in advance.
YES, but don't put your copy with iTunes (don't give it the same name) just put the icloud one
Ok, thanks (I don't know if I will know how to do it: on the iPhone I always make a copy in iTunes, on the iPad in iCloud ..., but I have never restored an iPhone backup, I'm going to try).
I suppose that this way the application data is also saved, right? Like the history of whatsapp which is what I do not want to lose).
Thank you very much
Yes, in the icloud backup is the WhatsApp history

Hello Gonzalo, very grateful to you in advance to all those who wisely provide solutions to those of us who are not very experts in all this, sorry if I sound repeated but I have my doubts to update to iOS 5 my 3GS has jailbreak because I change operator therefore it is It's important for me to keep it, also my music is not purchased from iTunes ...

Thank you very much for your patience !!! With not as old as me
