Don't know what to do now.

I have downloaded both Redsn0w and the Iphone1,2_3.0_7A341.
I go to the step where it tells me to browse and my ccomputer does not show anything such file. I have tried turning off my computer and it still shows an empty folder. Thanks for any help that I might be able to get tonight.

Did the file save as .zip or .ipsw?

XP or Vista. you need to open "My Computer"
XP - go to the top menu and select options > Folder Options
Vista - Top left button that says Organize > Folder and Search Options
In that window you need to click the " VIEW " tab on top.
NEED TO SELECT “SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS "
Then unclick the option to " hide protected operating system files "
Once that's done click "apply" then ok and exit out of the window.

we must know

Stealth.. you're strange

[StealthBravo]

Stealth.. you're strange

Why do you say that?

[CJHmedic]

it saved as a zip file and i extracted all files.

[blkcadi]

rename/change it form .zip to .ipsw

No need to extract the file.

[CJHmedic]

it is showing .ipsw

[blkcadi]

so now when you run redsn0w and it asks for the file are you pointing to it? and then what happens.
Sometimes when you try to extract the file it corrupts it so I would download it again to your desktop and make sure the extension is .ipsw

[CJHmedic]

i have downloaed it again and it does not show up there either. i have not extrated it or touched it in any way. If i go and look for it i can find it and what seems to be a bunch of stuff with it but it will not show up while running Redsn0w.

Iphone1,2 the files kernalcache.release.s518900x, firmware and .fseventsd show 0% nothing in them.

[blkcadi]

and you chose to download it to your desktop and it's not there?

Then go to this dir
users > "USERNAME" > appdata > roaming > apple computer > iTunes >
and the folder holding the downloaded file will be there.

[CJHmedic]

i am able to locate it when i go looking for it but when i run Redsn0w it does not show up. both places that i have put it, both times that i downloaded it.

[angiepangie]

What browser are you downloading it from?
Are you sure it is it is NOT a .zip file?

[CJHmedic]

i just went that way and it does not show there either. only one was for an ipod.

i have downloaded it from Safari....

[blkcadi]

what is the full name of the file?

You should be using Firefox as I said in the PM.

[angiepangie]

Firefox is definitely the way to go.
Safari automatically extracts it for you.

[blkcadi]

^ yup, that is why I told him to use Firefox. Dam we're good huh? lmao

[angiepangie]

i guess i am on my own now... thanks for every ones ideas.....
