Getting error:
failed tss submission: This device isn't eligible for the requested build.
Any suggestions. Using the restore method.
for those who are running iOS 6 Beta 4, is it better to upgrade or do a restore to the GM version?

Check the MD5 of the ipsw you're trying to install with the ones posted here. Make sure you're applying the ipsw specific to your device.

iOS 6 will help you with that automatically.

Always better to do a backup then restore, as this will help clear cruft/crap from the previous version, however upgrading is obviously going to be faster. In either case, do a backup first.
Turns out it was the hosts entry (directing towards cydia) from when I had my 3GS... removed reference to it and success!
Ok weird question I installed iOS 6 a little bit ago and during set up it showed I had a .me email address. I never used mobile me, how did I end up with that?
Also anybody seeing battery drain be pretty high?

I've seen plenty of cases where people accidentally created a me.com address when setting up iCloud, so probably by accident.
as for battery drain, not so far on my iPhone 4.
I have iOS 6. I'm asking because I'm unable to determine how to do it and wondering if maybe it isn't up and running/working yet in the GM...

iOS 6 GM for iPad 3!
Ok, I am a iOS developer and i already have the iOS 6 beta 4, but i don't see any OTA update on my iPad's settings, then i connected it to iTunes and still nothing?!?!? Is the update out or what?
I can't wait an other week! 😀

try sending an email from another account to your @me.com address only replacing @me.com with @icloud.com, it will probably just work. If not, you may have to wait until iOS 6 is officially out.

General consensus is GM update's can't be done OTA, you have to download from the developer portal, then use iTunes.

Appstore content is all server side.
So apple can change it on their end without having to patch/update the entire OS.
My guess is it will be corrected shortly if not already........ Unless they intended that to happen.
Maps 3D rotation.
The one thing I really like in iOS 6 beta 1 was the feature in Maps whereby you enter an address, it zooms to this address, and if you are in 3D mode (and the city is already 3D'd), it would automatically circle around the building you searched.
Upon updating to beta 2 - continuing with today's GM release - this feature was removed. Am I missing something? 😕

Thank you all very much for the info. It was very easy to update my 4S to ios6. I appreciate it.
Could someone kindly post the MD5 values for the iPhone 3GS?
Edit: Nevermind, found it on my own. Installed on my 3GS like a charm with no problems. Took about 15 minutes. Runs very well. Absolutely love the new look of the Music player!

well, I was stuck with a phone I could not use for anything. I know technically it is not exactly what is called "bricked" - but from a pratical point of view that was it. Anyway I restored it again and it worked. Problem solved !

Don't thank me, thank Google. 😀
Checksums will only be relevant if these come from the original source.

I have run into this problem in the past, and it can be avoided by closing all apps and restarting your iPad before doing an upgrade.
Haha, expected comment from the kind of guy who lists all his gear in the signature. We're all very impressed.
Seriously I always wondered why people do that, list their gear in the signature, it's like they identify themselves with their computer. Does it have any practical use at all, except for bragging like a child?

GM means it's NOT beta though. No more than anything released to manufacturing these days anyway.
