When someone adds a build here and posts a key for VFDecrypt on it, can they add that key to the VFDecrypt Keys section? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 18:19, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

As the title suggests, why? We did not list any other internal firmwares, and it's not really a beta firmware that's provided by Apple. --[[User:Awesomebing1|Awesomebing1]] ([[User talk:Awesomebing1|talk]]) 03:08, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
For 3GS firmware 4.2GM the baseband doesn't match the value here: [[X-Gold_608#Known_Firmware_Versions]]. So one of these must be wrong. --[[User:Http|http]] 08:12, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi [[User:liamchat|liamchat]]! You just added 4.2.1GM beta rows. Thanks. Where do you have the baseband infos from? Did you install it on all devices or where does this info come from? Are you 100% sure the baseband versions are correct you added? --[[User:Http|http]] 22:05, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 
: no sorry i copied the 4.2gm table lines to help me add it faster however once i have finished downloading it i will check --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 22:12, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 
::Ok, but please don't add unproven / possibly wrong information. There's no race to be the first to add the 4.2.1GM release. And please replace the ones you don't test with a question mark or something similar. --[[User:Http|http]] 22:15, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:::Well, GreySyntax did [https://twitter.com/GreySyntax/status/5365655490527232 confirm on Twitter] that the 4.2.1 GM release for the iPhone 4 has [[3.10.01]]. I'm almost willing to bet that the iPhone 3G/3GS baseband is still [[5.15.04]], but it still hasn't been confirmed yet. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 22:21, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 
::::I also saw that. But it was added for all devices and I think you should only add what you really know. That's why I initially added lots of empty fields instead of assuming something. I agree that it's probably correct. --[[User:Http|http]] 22:38, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm not completely happy on the idea of having SHA1 hashes for beta firmwares. I do see it as useful if you need to verify the firmware, but I don't think it's necessary. The firmwares should have been downloaded from Apple by developers/hackers, not the Average Joe jailbreaker. I feel that the inclusion of SHA1 hashes is just to assist people in pirating the beta firmwares; that's the only reason I can think of that would make people want to verify their IPSW. Thoughts? --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 17:00, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

== What is iProd2,1? ==
 
I was digging around the build manifest of the Apple TV 5.0/4.4b1 and found this:
 
<key>SupportedProductTypes</key>
 
<array>
 
<string>iProd2,1</string>
 
<string>AppleTV2,1</string>
 
</array>
 
</dict>
 
</plist>
 
What is iProd2,1? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 17:55, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 
:"iProd" is a moniker Apple used for internal prototypes. "iProd1,1" was the iPad, and "iProd2,1" was the Apple TV 2G. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 19:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

How come the [[IPSW File Format|IPSW]]s for the [[iPad]] and iPhone 3GS, they don't have a bb file like the others do? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 23:53, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 
:The baseband files for the [[X-Gold 608]] are tucked inside of the ramdisks. The [[X-Gold 618]] and [[MDM6600]] baseband files are outside of the ramdisks since they require SHSH-like signatures. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 17:13, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

== Download URL's ==
 
Could we add the download URIs for each of these. As long as they are on Apple's server, it will deny you access if you try to do it without the $99. It will go Unauthorized with a free account or download it for paid accounts --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 16:34, 16 July 2011 (MDT)

So, what is 9A5332? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 20:51, 13 October 2011 (MDT)
 
:I downloaded the asset file and in the BuildManifest.plist, at the [http://pastie.org/2692948 bottom], it says 9A332 for the iPhone 3GS... I am assuming 9A5332 and 9A332 are the same. So is this an internal beta? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 23:02, 13 October 2011 (MDT)

Why is there the Inferno firmware here?

As the title suggests, why? We did not list any other internal firmwares, and it's not really a beta firmware that's provided by Apple. --Awesomebing1 (talk) 03:08, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

There should be a separate page dedicated to internal firmware builds. Prototype Firmware or Internal Firmware? --5urd (talk) 17:53, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
I say Prototype Firmware because if we did Internal Firmware, that might mean people who have illegal internal firmwares would add download links, etc. --Awesomebing1 (talk) 18:34, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

I have a question about the build number for iPhone 5c(iPhone 5,3)

The build number in the article of iOS 8.3 beta 4 for iPhone 5,3 was "12F5061" but what my iPhone 5c recieved was "12F61". Should we change it in the article?

I did also notice this in the OTA BuildManifest.plist. It's listed in Settings>General>About too as "12F61" even though http://mesu.apple.com/assets/com_apple_MobileAsset_SoftwareUpdate/com_apple_MobileAsset_SoftwareUpdate.xml.com shows 12F5061. Developer center also shows this -http://twitter.com/EveryApplesPro/status/580677622264438784/photo/1. I've updated all the pages with "12F61". --iAdam1n (talk) 10:40, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
