    Default Can't Find Valid 5.0.1 ISPW File!

    Trying to make a custom 5.0.1 ISPW to upgrade to that IOS and jailbreak it using Redsnow.
    But everywhere I try to dowload it from comes in 3 .dmg files.
    I tried to extract the ISPW file from them using 7-Zip and PowerISO... but nothing seems to work.
    And all instructions I found on extracting it are with ONE .dmg file.
    Even the 5.0.1 ISPW file download from THIS site isthe same zip file from Apple containing 3 .dmg files.
    Why THREE files? How do you use them?
    Anybody know how to extract the ISPW from these 3 files?
    Thanks!

    Shouldnt be 3 files. Download it from here: Firmware - Downloads - Apple, iPhone and iPad Forums | ModMyi.com

    I suggest using firefox to download it.

    I downloaded it from here! (as well as many other sites.)
    I also just tried using Firefox...same crap!
    All the links I can find for 5.0.1 ISPW are downloads from Apple.com (as well as the link you gave me on this site)
    The files are in a zip fle and there are 3 .dmg files, a few "restore.plst" kind of files and a folder with other subfolders in it.
    I don't know how to use or extract the ISPW from these.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks again...

    Don't unzip, just rename only the extension from xxxxxx .zip to xxxxxx.ipsw
