Have you got a pointless, old device just sitting there in your home. Well not anymore! Because now iOS 5 can be installed using a custom firmware done by an application. It has been named Whited00r 5. So finally, all you guys out there with old devices can get the updates you need. The makers claim it is much faster than the native iOS 4 and it has got a ton of iOS 5 features in it. Newsstand has been incluided, the layout buttons changed.
But, there ius a catch to it. You don't have Notifications Center, and the you'll lose the App Store. I am not sure wether they lost the app store intentionally to have a condition to the trick, or wether it was jsut a bug, but what ever it was, in later versions of this app, the App Store should hopefully come back.
If you want to install this, then follow the guide below:
Download the appropriate version of Whited00r from here
Unzip the custom IPSW package to somewhere easy to find
Launch iTunes and hold down Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and click on “Restore”, now select the Whited00r IPSW you just downloaded
Let the process continue and the iPhone will reboot on it’s own
After it boots, set the device in iTunes as a new device, just to avoid complications. That's all for now, and thanks to which ever miraculous person made this app!
