    Default Pwnage Tool wont recognize .ipsw...hmmm

    When I open the program, and go to "Browse .ipsw", it allows me to select with file. Well, when I select my 1.1.3 it says it "can't recognize this version"

    Anyone else getting this?

    Also, could someone walk me thru the process of renaming .zip files on Mac?

    I download the firmware, and it downloads as a .zip. Once done, it automatically unlocks the folder. So then, I have to go to the trash bin, find the zip that was discarded, pull it out of the trash can, and unlock that...that cant be right. Has to be a more efficient way.

    No, Actually it only works with 1.1.4/2.0 I have chosen all other firmwares and only these two are recognized. It also explains this on the wiki page.

    If you are using Safari for download... don't. Safari expands the file and it will not work. Use Firefox to download.

    QuickPwn does the same thing. I try to "browse" and attach the exact same ipsw file that I used to upgrade and it doesn't recognize it. QuickPwn actually changes the name of the file it grabs like saying "1,1_2.0" instead of "1,2_2.0". What the f***?? I'm so tired of these lame "up to date" software. You can knock AnySim all you want, but it worked for me to unlock over a dozen phones with no problems!

    its just a matter of getting the correct quickpwn and firmware. search jailbroken 2.x, << change the x to the firmware you wish to install and you'll find the tool and firmware here

    Where's "here"? There's no link. Also, I'm using QuickPwn not Pwnage tool, just to make sure we're talking about the same thing.

    I don't understand. Yea I can use a search box, but that doesn't tell me which version of QuickPwn I'm supposed to download or exactly what you mean by "getting the correct ...". How do I match them up?

    Right now, I have QuickPwn 2.25 so does that mean I need a different version to match up with firmware 2.2.0 ? A little more detail please.

    Edit: Just tried it Broomhead. Same result. I downloaded QuickPwn 2.2 along with the ipsw file next to it. No success. QuickPwn keeps looking for a firmware like "1,1_2.0" which isn't the same name as the firmware I used to restore. Renaming the ipsw to match exactly doesn't help. Shouldn't QuickPwn 2.25 work with all prior versions of the firmware?

    Any other suggestions?

    2.25 is for 2.2.1 - 2.2 is for 2.2 not sure why your having this problem.
    try downloading the firmware again, form the thread with the tool in it.
