Error downloading iOS7 HOW TO FIX .

Apple  released the public version of the iOS 7.0 version and its a super number of downloads happening , and you cannot abuse Apple for the error you are getting while downloading the iOS 7 on your device through the software update section in Settings. Here’s an error which many users have been reporting right now:

What is more annoying here is that you need to start the download once again if the error occurs, and the download doesn’t resume from where it had stopped. Devices like the iPad have got the iOS file of size more than 1 GB, and that is where the issue is happening. The actual error reads:

Software Update Failed

An Error occurred Downloading iOS 7.0

Reason:

The reason for this is only one – Apple’s server is facing a huge load right now and there is nothing else that is causing this error. If there was, the error would have been different, like the Error 3000 which we had explained earlier.

Solution / Fix:

For now, we would suggest you to be patient and wait for a few hours till the Apple servers load gets reduced, and then you would be able to easily download the iOS 7 file, no matter what the size is. The Apple download servers are quite fast most of the time but when any major releases are done, this downtime is a little expected, and you as an end user cannot do anything about it than to wait for the speed to pick up. Just retrying it right now would be a waste of data and time.

We’ll be updating you here as soon as we see the Apple servers picking up speed and not showing an error (we did install iOS 7 on an iPad Mini but the iPhone shows the error as mentioned above), so we too would be trying the download and then can get an idea when the download can happen without a hassle.

If at all you wanted to download the iOS 7 IPSW files, go to the following links based on the device:

how to install IOS 7 on iPhone 4 ,4s,5

You should  always perform a backup before applying any major new firmware release. If you back up your devices to iCloud or sync with iTunes via Wi-Fi, temporarily disable both options.

To disable iCloud backup, toggle the iCloud Backup switch to OFF under iOS Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. To disable iTunes Wi-Fi sync, tether the device to a Mac or PC via a USB cable and uncheck the “Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi” box under your device’s Summary tab in iTunes.

Make sure you’re running the most up-to-date version of iTunes (you should only download the latest version of iTunes from Apple’s website). Fire up the program and choose your device in the upper right part of the iTunes window. Should iTunes warn you there’s a new version of iPhone firmware update available, just cancel the prompt.

Click on the device’s name in the upper-right part of the iTunes window, navigate to the Summary tab and hit the “Back Up Now”. Fix yourself a cup of coffee as creating a backup on your computer may take a while, depending on its contents and storage capacity.

While we’re at it, update your iOS apps by going to the Updates tab in the iTunes Apps section. Now’s also a good time to copy the device backup file to an external drive (PC) or initiate a manual Time Capsule backup. To do the latter, just choose Back Up Now from your Mac’s menu bar. If you don’t see the option, tick the “Show Time Machine in menu bar” box in System Preferences > Time Machine.

To see where iTunes stores iOS device backup files on your computer, choose Preferences from the iTunes menu and navigate to the Devices tab. In case you were wondering, iOS backups keep all your app data and settings, sans your media and apps themselves because these items already exist in iTunes/iCloud.

Keeping a device backup on your computer is not only a precautionary measure, it’ll also speed up restoring your device should you encounter any issues – as opposed to restoring from an iCloud backup.

You’re now ready to install iOS 7: hit the Restore iPhone button in iTunes and wait until the software downloads and verifies the latest iOS 7 build with iOSDownload.

Difference Between Old Bootrom and New Bootrom.

Difference Between Old Bootrom and New Bootrom - An iOS Bootrom, known as “SecureROM” by Apple, is the most basic code that runs on an iOS device. It is read-only, meaning that you can’t write on it after it is installed. Each device version has its own Bootrom.
iOS jailbreaking is done by finding exploits in the Bootrom of that device. Once it is done, the rest of the stuff is pretty easy. Moreover, Apple can’t even fix that exploit without a hardware revision so exploiting the bootrom is a pretty big thing.

Difference Between Old Bootrom and New Bootrom

Only some devices have different bootrom versions like the iPhone 3GS and the iPod Touch 2G and are referred to as “new bootrom” and “old bootrom”.
The iPhone 3GS with the older bootrom had an exploit in it which got fixed in the newer bootrom which was released after 9 September 2009. Each model of the iPhone 3GS that got released after the 9th of September runs on the newer bootrom.

How To Find The Bootrom Version?
Finding the Bootrom version is very easy as it is included in the serial number and model number of your iPhone.

• Serial Number: If the second character of the model number of your iPhone 3GS is “B”, then it is uses the old bootrom. If it is “C”, then it runs on the newer bootrom.
• Model Number: The third digit of the serial number of your iPhone indicates the year it was released in (9 for 2009). While the fourth and fifth are dedicated to the week it was made in. Any iPhone made on or after Week 45 of 2009 runs on the new bootrom.

Jailbreaks for old and new bootrom also differ as the jailbreak software created with the old exploit can not work on the newer one.
