    1. I believe it's a function of your Internet connection. For a good connection, it should take between 20-30 minutes.

    1. You downloaded the IPSW(make sure its not set to open with WinRar as the default program) and saved it on your Desktop, launch itunes, use the shift key and click Update iPhone.
      From the box, select your downloaded IPSW and click OK.
      iTunes would restore to it.

  13. Hi. I have a friend with a developer ID that gave me the file download for iOS 7 beta 2. I have followed all your steps to install it, but every time I press alt, click 'check for updates' and select the ipsw, I get an error message from itunes stating "The iPhone 'Siena's iPhone' could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible." Any suggestions? Thanks

  14. Hello Siena, please specify your device type (iPhone 4, 4S or 5) so that I can point you to the right download link. Remember there's CDMA and GSM version of iOS 7.

    Also, it could be that your iOS 7 download was incomplete and as such couldn't identify it.

    Finally, make sure the extension of the firmware is ending in ipsw. E.g A10325_iOS7.ipsw

    Give these suggestions a try. However, iOS 7 beta 2 is out and you should considere that as it offer better and richer iOS 7 with Voice memo included. You can read about it here http://goo.gl/EyPpF

  15. I have an iPhone 5, and live in the US. When I went to download there were two options - the 28 model or 29. I downloaded the 29, but now I'm wondering if that may have been incorrect? The extension is correct. I will try downloading the file again tomorrow.

  16. Okay, you should do that. However, like i said earlier, beta 2 (http://goo.gl/EyPpF) is what you should aim to download this time around.
