iPhone 12 Pro Max Can’t update over the air.

[Curtricias]

I can’t update my 12 pro max ota. I bought this phone second hand a few weeks ago. I updated it the first time with my MacBook. The first time I discovered this problem after i installed a beta profile.
I got an error: “search for updates failed.” I removed the profile and stayed for a few days on iOS 14.5.1.

Yesterday I wiped my phone. Installed the profile and again the same error. Wiped it again and started completely fresh. But still I can’t search for updates. No regular, no beta.

What could be the problem?

14.5.1 is the latest public release. What are you trying to do here?!

Hi. I know what you’re saying. But you missed one thing.
When iOS is up to date you will see a message like this: You’re device is up to date. You’re running the latest software .

Im getting an error!

search for updates failed!

I think that’s not the same.

Yes! I’m getting this error on stock and beta. Yesterday I manually flashed the ipsw of 14.6 beta. And even now in the beta i still get this error. Very strange.

I think i found out the problem.

When i bought the phone it was on 14.2.1. So i was able to jailbreak it. And i did jailbreak it. But i had an issue with my watch. Until a month ago i had a Iphone 12. And that was on beta. And also the watch was on beta 7.x. I sold the phone and kept the watch. But i forgot to go out of the beta. So when i bought my 12 pro max i was unable to connect my watch. Because the software was newer... So i had to flash the latest ios on my 12 pro max :-( But apparently, even after unjailbreak, uncover still blocks update's. Even after flashing from scratch. So i'm screwed until someone releases a jailbreak for ios 14.5.1.

Your not going to get a jailbreak anytime soon for 14.5.1.

Flashing firmware from iTunes will fully remove that anyway.

What happens when you try to check for updates with Wi-Fi disabled using mobile data?

Factory reset after restoring in iTunes and not signing into your iCloud account making it 100% fresh?

Your starting as new right? Not restoring a backup?

I'm performing a restore right now.

So to be sure.

I need to do a factory reset after restore to 14.5.1?
And then enter without singing in to icloud?

Mostly just enter without signing into iCloud or loading a backup. If your loading a backup that would most likely be your problem

 

[Curtricias]

So i will not be able to use this icloud account again?

No. The backup

No. The backup

I restored and proceeded whitout logging into icloud. And now i'm abe to check for update's!

So now i can also login with my icloud account?

 

[Curtricias]

Logged in with my iCloud account and it works!

I don't understand why I didn't work yesterday. Because I also started fresh without restore.
But now it works. Thx!! Edit: installed beta profile and search for update works!!
