Talk:Beta Firmware/2013

Wrong Version?

For 3GS firmware 4.2GM the baseband doesn't match the value here. So one of these must be wrong. --http 08:12, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

iOS 6.1 beta 5 codename is Brighton, not BrightonVail.

Not sure how this has been worked out in the past, but the codename for 6.1 beta 5 is Brighton, unlike the previous four betas, BrightonVail. I've added the AES keys for all the A4 devices on the pages with BrightonVail as someone already added links to it on the main page. Neal (talk) 06:20, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Fixed. --adaminsull (talk) 08:04, 27 January 2013 (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 --5urd 16:34, 16 July 2011 (MDT)

I have added the column but most of the links are dead. I will just add the live ones. --adaminsull (talk) 11:17, 13 June 2013 (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? --5urd 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. --Dialexio 19:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

SHA1 Hashes

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? --Dialexio 17:00, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

I think they should be removed as they help idiots pirate the software... --5urd 18:43, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
