    Go to the Dev Teams site and read their release notes. Make sure your version of your phone is compatable. If it is try DL another IPSW.

    Redsn0w will JB 4.0 just fine.

    Redsn0w 0.9.3 = for 3.1.2
    Redsn0w 0.9.4 = for 3.1.3 (must point at 3.1.2 ipsw tho)
    Redsn0w 0.9.4b5-5 = for 4.0 and 4.0.1 (both must point at 4.0 ipsw)

    Edit: FW might not be recognized because you are not pointing at the right firmware version in Redsn0w or you have downloaded the FW in .rar or .zip format, in which it needs to be in .ipsw format. Try downloading firmware from Google Chrome, Firefox, or Opera. Those will download the file correctly. You can also try changing the file name from .zip or .rar to .ipsw.
