FAQ

A lot of people will ask simple questions that have simple answer. We’ve put some of the more common ones in a little FAQ.

What’s a GM?

If you don’t know what GM is, it stands for “Gold Master”, a term that means that the particular software version is either final, or close to final. Due to past experiences with Apple firmwares, the GM ends up being the final release version.

Do I need a developer account for this?

NO, you DON’T need a dev account for this.
Do I need Windows or Mac OS X?

Either one, it doesn’t matter.
Do I need iTunes 10.1 beta?

It looks like iOS 4.2 will require iTunes 10.1. Links are posted below.
What if I’m jailbroken/unlocked?

Stay away from this.

So iOS 4.2 ipsw is released by Apple today for 3GS as you provided the download links here, can we expect the unlock solution from Geohat with in next 2 days??? I downloaded iOS 4.2 ipsw for my 3GS however I'm not going to install it until I get the unlock confirmation. You people just rock providing the knowledge about iphone to layman people like us and it's make so simple to understand rather than looking the problem like a big demon.

Thank you once again for your download links.

Regards,

Pubby.
