Hey people, so when I try to upgrade / restore to the new iOS 5 beta I get error 3002. I have upgraded to the latest iTunes (the developer preview one designed for iOS 5 beta) and have tried option+restore and option+upgrade. Any ideas?
Got a tip for us?

iPod touch Error 3002 when upgrading to iOS 5 beta?

Same here...but
I'm a paid Dev and I got the 3002 as well. I believe this is usually a provisioning problem, but my iphone/pad has been provisioned and worked for the previous 4.3 betas/etc. Neither are working now the 3002 error. I've tried a new provisioning profile without further luck.
But, I'm testing the theory that restoring the phone from the beta, rather than upgrading, may yet work. The rather large catch is that one should expect to lose everything and return to a factory install, with no gaurantees of restoring back to 4.x. Hmm... we'll soon see!

The most surprising result...
So I chose the "restore" method (option-cmd restore) to upgrade to iOS 5beta. As expected, it installed fine, but to factory defaults. After a new iOS 5 setup screen it gave me the option to restore from backup, which I chose, just to confirm if there was an escape route left.
To somewhat of a surprise, it offered up my old phone's name as a restore option, and I chose it. It went through a long process and I expected my old iOS 4 phone to come back. But, it was still iOS 5. And the most surprising result was... It also had my old data (well, it remembered which apps to install, but had to reinstall them, and my desktop asked for my MobileMe Keychain approval for iTunes for the phone).
And the second most surprising result is... it's reinstalling the old apps (in their proper folders and arrangements, it appears) - in the background!?! I guess it's not actually over-the-air at this point, but it almost feels like it, as I can open the phone. It's a bit sluggish though, so I'll wait for the installs to finish and see if it's really the best result possible (iOS 5 beta with my old data... even rhymes).

Simple way to do it
YOu need to have iTunes 5 installed which you can get from imzdl.com then if you're using a mac hold option and click restore then select the iOS 5 firmware. Then ta-da ur in

I registered for this forum just to maybe shed some light on this. Error 3002 is when iTunes cannot connect to the verification server. You need to check your hosts file and remove the line 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
You've probably put it there because, like me, you like to upgrade and downgrade and play around with your firmware, and adding that line to the hosts file is what solves some other problems, and maybe you've done that before in your attempts to play with the phone.
Detailed instructions:
1. Open Terminal, then type the following:
2. Find this line in your hosts file and delete it:
3. Alternatively, If you want to preserve the line, you can place a '#' at the start of the line to ignore it, so it looks like this:
4. Press control+o and hit enter to save.
5. Try your update again.

Dope! I forgot about that too! Thanks for pointing this out as I thought apple was blocking the installation cause I'm not a dev so the chances of me remembering that I forwarded iTunes to verify with saurik wheneverago doesn't seem likely.
Don't quote me because I'm no expert, but it seems that if you have a currently jailbroken phone, you need to do a restore not an upgrade. I tried upgrade and got 3002. My hosts file is already good to go. SO I did a restore (after a backup) and it loaded up just fine.
Doing a restore instead of upgrade. Working just fine. Installing iOS5. Can't wait to get my hands on the 200 new features!
Have you tried Option-Restore (not Option-Upgrade). These instructions on installing iOS 5 might help.
