    No but you still be running 6.01

     

    Perhaps you could tell us what problems you have experienced as there may be solutions or it may help others with the same hardware .

    Also it may actually help to do the update via USB lead and your computer.

     

    This route reduces corruption risk associated with radio transmission.

     

    iOS 6 update heat and battery issues are a direct result of corrupted thermal controls in the over the air update and are corrected by traditional wired update process.

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for replying. I did the update via USB cable to macbook. It appears that it can't charge anymore, despite trying to charge it through docking station and usb cables. It is in a loop of displaying the apple icon for 7 seconds then dissapearing..... i have also restored the phone via itunes, but this just downloads 6.01 again with the same issue. Cannot get through on DFU....to restore that way.

     

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
