I do not know what the problem is but when I download the file "iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw", what I get on my computer is this " iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore", and yes I get a zip file, the ipsw apparently get lost on the process. Can someone tell me how to fix it?

hi,
im kind of new to this site...im having issues with DFU MODE..I've downloaded redsnow and fw but once I click next to get into dfu mode, I get a message that tell mes me, I must have not followed instructions correctly, to search google "DFU"
Can you help me?

Redsn0w tells you how to put it DFU mode, simply follow the prompts they give.
But here are some directions anyway that may help.
DFU mode
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1. Turn off iPhone
Step 2. Hold down the power and home button.
Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the home button down.
Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that it detects iPhone in restore/recovery mode.

Alternative Method:
Step 1. Connect iPhone to USB then listen to the sound when it connects and disconnects.
Step 2. Hold the home and power buttons until hear the disconnect sound then release power button.
Step 3. Wait until you hear another sound then release home button.

Try downloading redsn0w from Firefox, seems to work much better. Also if you may need to do this.
Using 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 HIDEN 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.
Then go to this dir
users > "USERNAME" > appdata > roaming > apple computer > iTunes >
and the folder holding the downloaded file will be there.

today i was jailbreaking a frnd's of mine iphone 2g on windows vista..using redsn0w 7.2 and had the same problem..then i downloaded redsn0w 8 to try with it and it was fine

just check to have the latest redns0w version

I got a question. If I upgrade the firmware of a 2g iphone to 3.0 and jailbreak/unlock with redsn0w, and use a sim card of a phone with a standard data plan through at&t, will I still be able to use internet email etc without wifi? Because I tried it and havent had any luck. I took an older iphone 2g and restored software to 3.0 on my itunes acount of MY iphone (different) then unlocked and jailbroke with redsnow. Everything works except it say I have no cellular data plan. Even though I know the sim I put in it from a friend phone does its just not a pda plan. So help me out guys what am I doin wrong or what have I done that I shouldnt have?

You have to change the APN settings.

Ok. Stuck on step #3 already. Have the redsn0w-win_0.7.2.zip file but when clicking on it a comand prompt window flashes then disappears. Do I need to rename the .zip to .exe? LOL

[angiepangie]

Do you have a program that unzips files?

[The_Closer]

just rename the file .ipsw instead of zip
