yeah I checked more carefully after I posted that, and turns out I somehow (?) downloaded the wrong one. I'm currently downloading 1,1_2.0.2_5C1_Restore.ipsw, but its taking forever. Another 50mins if this pace keeps up. Ugh.

Yea, I mean it's an entire OS, it's a huge file for a reason heh.

Also, you might want try finding the 2.1 firmware and use quickpwn to upgrade to that. A lot more stable.

Good luck.

Here is what you need to do.

1. Go to AT&T store and say you need a sim card in order to activate your iphone. They will give it to you free of charge, with no obligation to activate it.

2. put the card in your iphone

3. Plug your iphone into the computer, and with Itunes up and running put your iphone in dfu mode. You do this so you can restore the iphone and get the 2.1 firmware on your computer.

4. After you restore your iphone run Quickpwn.

5. Enjoy your iphone.

If you're not sure if you downloaded the right firmware, go to this site...there are 2 selections. You can download iPod Touch firmware and iPhone firmware. Find the one you need, download it, and then quickpwn your firmware. Also, make sure that you have the most recent version of quickpwn. I think it's QuickPwn 2.2. OK, here's the link...
