iOS 7 IPSW: iPhone 5, 4s, 4, iPad And iPod touch [Torrent, Mega, Direct Links Download]
Update: This post has been updated with latest version of iOS 7 download links, as well as a video tutorial on how to download and install iOS 7 on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.Apple has finally flipped the switch and final iOS 7 download links are now live for everyone. More details as well the direct IPSW links can be found right here.
The visual and usability changes to iOS 7 represent the biggest overhaul to the OS in the last six years. Apple has described iOS 7 as "the mobile OS from a whole new perspective", and in all honesty, it is extremely difficult to argue with that description of what they have brought to the table.Apple’s iOS 6 has undoubtedly served us well over the last 12 months. After a relatively rocky start amid the Maps controversy, it has managed to claw its way into our affections thanks to a number of bug fixing updates and has managed to prove extremely stable ever since. Still, everything has a shelf life, and when Scott Forstall parted from Apple, it signaled the end of his reign over the design and implementation of iOS. Jony Ive’s vision of iOS is definitely polarizing, but it represents a new beginning for Apple’s mobile OS.

The firmware update will be available to all users with a compatible iOS device. iPhone owners using an iPhone 4, 4s or 5 will be able to grab hold of the new firmware for their devices, although some restrictions do apply to the iPhone 4 and 4s in terms of features. Owners of the second-generation iPad and above can also go through an OTA or iTunes download route with the same restrictions on older, less powerful tablets. The only iPod touch that is currently supported is the fifth-generation model.

How to Solve iMessage Error Problems in iOS 7.0.2
Image : iMessage Not Working on iOS 7 – Waiting for Activation Error
There really isn’t any one reason why iMessage decides to stop working. This makes it difficult to fix the problem so we have come up with a list of solutions for you to try. Some will work and some won’t so it’s best to go through the list, one at a time and try everything until one of them, fixes the problem.
Just occasionally, the problem will lie with Apple, in their servers. Or it may be that the recipient of your messages is not actually on there or you just haven’t got the settings configured correctly.
These fixes apply to iOS 7 and lower:
- Check your Network Settings and Wi-Fi proxies. Sometimes, if the 3G or Wi-Fi network is only working on a weak signal, iMessage won’t work properly. If you are using Wi-Fi, move closer to the router and, if you are using 3G, reset your cellular connections. You can also check to make sure the network proxies are not stopping the natural flow.
If this doesn’t work, on to the next step:
- Turn iMessage off and then on again. Sometimes this will just reset everything back to normal and iMessage will work fine:
- Open Settings
- Tap on Messages and then tap on iMessage to turn it off
- Wait a few seconds and then tap to turn it back on
- Check that your chosen network is active and then try to send a message to an iMessage user
- If this doesn’t work, try signing out of your Apple ID and then signing back in again – you can do this through the Send and Receive menu
- If you have to do this repeat the first few steps above for switching iMessage off and on again.
In the event that this doesn’t work:
- Check your Send and Receive settings
- Open Settings
- Tap on Messages
- Tap on Send and Receive
- You will see your phone number, email address and Apple ID in here, make sure everything is as it should be.
There are several things you will need to try in here:
- Delete you email and just use your phone number
- Use one or the other to see if iMessage is working
- Choose both – you will then be taken to a new screen that says “start new conversations from” – you should choose your phone number
Some people have found that removing older text messages, especially long ones, kick started iMessage into starting again. Some others have found that restoring and setting up as a new phone worked as well.
One user has noticed that the date on your iPhone must be set to auto update – this has been shown to fix the issue as well:
- Go to Settings
- Tap on General
- Tap Date and Time
- Tap to set Automatically On

iPhone 5s fingerprint scanner Hacked by German groups
REUTERS
CCC said similar processes have been used to crack "the vast majority" of fingerprint sensors on the market.
BOSTON: A group of German hackers claimed to have cracked the iPhone fingerprint scanner on Sunday, just two days after Apple Inc launched the technology that it promises will better protect devices from criminals and snoopers seeking access.
If the claim is verified, it will be embarrassing for Apple which is betting on the scanner to set its smartphone apart from new models of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and others running the Android operating system of Google Inc.
Two prominent iPhone security experts told Reuters that they believed the German group, known as the Chaos Computing Club, or CCC, had succeeded in defeating Apple's Touch ID, though they had not personally replicated the work.
One of them, Charlie Miller, co-author of the iOS Hacker's Handbook, described the work as "a complete break" of Touch ID security. "It certainly opens up a new possibility for attackers."
Apple representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
CCC, one the world's largest and most respected hacking groups, posted a video on its website that appeared to show somebody accessing an iPhone 5S with a fabricated print. The site described how members of its biometrics team had cracked the new fingerprint reader, one of the few major high-tech features added to the latest version of the iPhone.
The group said they targeted Touch ID to knock down reports about its "marvels," which suggested it would be difficult to crack.
"Fingerprints should not be used to secure anything. You leave them everywhere, and it is far too easy to make fake fingers out of lifted prints," a hacker named Starbug was quoted as saying on the CCC's site.
The group said it defeated Touch ID by photographing the fingerprint of an iPhone's user, then printing it on to a transparent sheet, which it used to create a mold for a "fake finger."
CCC said similar processes have been used to crack "the vast majority" of fingerprint sensors on the market.
"I think it's legit," said Dino Dai Zovi," another co-author of the iOS Hacker's Handbook. "The CCC doesn't fool around or over-hype, especially when they are trying to make a political point."
Touch ID, which was only introduced on the top-of-the-line iPhone 5S, lets users unlock their devices or make purchases on iTunes by simply pressing their finger on the home button. It uses a sapphire crystal sensor embedded in the button.
Data used for verification is encrypted and stored in a secure enclave of the phone's A7 processor chip.
Two security experts who sponsored an impromptu competition offering cash and other prizes to the first hackers who cracked the iPhone said they had reviewed the information posted on the CCC website, but wanted more documentation.
"We are simply awaiting a full video documentation and walk through of the process that they have claimed," said mobile security researcher Nick DePetrillo, who started the contest with another security expert, Robert Graham. "When they deliver that video we will review it."
The two of them each put up $100 toward a prize for the contest winner, then set up a website inviting others to contribute. While the booty now includes more than $13,000 in cash, it was not clear that the CCC would receive the full payout, even if DePetrillo and Graham declared them winners.
A micro venture capital firm known as I/O Capital, which had offered to pay $10,000 of the prize money, issued a press release late on Sunday saying that it would make its own determination about who won the contest.
