Q: iPhone 4 5.0 Upgrade 3200 Error

I am trying to upgrade a vanilla iPhone 4 to the 5.0 software and the process works fine and after the backup and extraction, I get the 3200 error. Any help on solving for my Mac OS Lion?

Holy crap people. Get a grip.

Just wait until tomorrow. Or late tonight.

It's pretty well documented it's a server issue...and anything you are doing that makes yours work, is most likely coincidence.

We've become a society of immediate gratification - if we don't get it NOW it ****** us off.

Relax, go take a walk outside, do something productive. You'll get your update!!!

It could be coincidence but I tried everything under the sun to get my iPhone 4 to upgrade to iOS5. Probably retried 10 times since about 11am central today.

It dawned on me that this could be related to a network connectivity issue so I decided to use a LAN connection instead of trying this over my wifi network. Since wifi is inherently intermittent, I figured it couldn't hurt.

First attempt after using my LAN connection and it was successful!

And I had get Restore error 3200...
And after...
- black screen for 5 seconds
- apple logo for about 1 minute
- apple logo + progress bar for about 2 seconds
- spinner for about 3 minutes, then fades to...
- black screen for 5 seconds

and repeat ad infinitum!.....

And what to do now?

I exits the loop like this: When you see the progress bar, push and hold on power and home at the same time. After 10 sec the "Connect to iTunes" will appear. Hopefully... It worked for me anyway.

Good luck!

Earlier posts say that it is a server overload problem. 5-7 retrys and it should work. I on the 5th try opened cmd window and ping gs.apple.com -t and that is when I was successful to install os5. Just keep trying and you will get it.

TURN OFF NOTIFICATIONS in the Settings and then do the upgrade. That seems to work (though it could be coincidental). Do not go into Airplane mode though (that definitely does not work).

Download the iOS 5 update firmware and install it manually through iTunes, works every time:

I am using an iPad first generation and started the upgrade over an hour ago. It seems to have wiped out everything on the iPad and when I try to Restore as it tells me to do I get unknown error (1). I've retried many times and I guess I'll wait till tomorrow. I see some people solved their problem by retrying but it hasn't worked for me, yet. iTunes doesn't seem to know anything about the iPad, as if everything about it was wiped out. I'm scared!
