i renamed the zip to ipsw and it still wont work
when itray to download ipsw 4.2.1 file I cant connect appldndld app. my questions how I can download ipsw file iphone 3g 4.2.1 thanks
ive tried renaming the file but it doesnt change anything
For some reason its not working for me. when it saves the file it saves it as a folder with a bunch of different stuff in it and not the actual ipsw file. What am i doing wrong?
i already download the ios 4.2.1 but i cannot find the ipsw file..i also cannot find the zip file like you post earlier. please help me
Why is it when I download the zip file. The IPSW file needed to plug into redsnow not there. I been having this problem with many sites. Am i missing something or going crazy? please respond
Windows for some reason saves the ipsw file with a zip extension. Simply rename the extension from “.zip” to “.ipsw” and you can then select it when you shift restore in iTunes.
it worked. thanks! i’ll try the JB now. fingers crossed.
What exactly am I supposed to rename? I renamed the Restore.plist, to Restore.ipsw successfully, but when I run redsn0w 0.9.6b2, it says that it does not recognize it. Please help!
don’t rename the plist file, rename the entire zip file
Leave the contents alone, don’t unzip… just rename
Thanks for posting these links!
