Install iOS4 Now for Your iPhone

Im a huge fan of Apple and most of the products they have released. I have an iPhone 3G and I was wanting to get iOS4 on the iPhone, but I dont really know when it is going to be release. However, I came across a great article from TNW which outlined how I can upgrade my iPhone Operating System to iOS4 now. Currently this is only available on a Mac, but Im sure there will be a Windows fix soon enough.

Guide:

1. To commence, download and install iTunes 9.2 (Mac only, download links here, here, or here).

2. Now you need to download the right gold master for your device and save it on your desktop:

• If you have an iPhone 3GS, download this.
• If you have an iPhone 3G, this one is for you.
• iPod Touch 3G, get yours here.
• And finally if you have the iPod Touch 2G, download this.

3. Now let’s actually install iOS4:

• Plug in your iOS device, and then tab over to iTunes.
• In iTunes, alt+click on the ‘restore’ button, and then when promoted to locate the file select the IPSW file we just moved to your desktop.
• Wait for between 10 and 15 minutes for the new OS to be moved over.

A few warnings, this is a hack, so if something goes wrong do not come crying to us about it. The real version of iOS4 is scheduled to drop for the public on June 21st.
