Unable to recognize specified IPSW

[lepetitmort84]

Hey guys,

So I have a 3G using 3.0 but updated to 4.0 today with iTunes 9.2. After updating, I downloaded redsn0w 0.9.5b5-3 and when click on browse for IPSW, none of my IPSW's work. It says "unable to recognize specified ipsw". I used "iPhone1,2_4.0_8A293_Restore.ipsw" and then "iPhone1,2_4.0_8A230m_Restore.ipsw". Neither worked and I am at a loss here. Anyone help?

Btw I am running Windows 7 64bit

Same here as well. Bunk version, doesn't work.

I had the same problem. You need to download this: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

And then open RedSn0w and use this file instead of the other IPSW.

I just downloaded the firmware that was linked to from above, it gave me the same error. I am working on a 3G. Anyone else have a different firmware to use?

I had the same problem when i downloaded the firmware from websites that hosted it. I then did the update the normal way through itunes, pointed redsn0w to where itunes saved the file and it worked for me. Maybe it would work for you.

I thank at that but I didn't know where the original firmware is saved... How did you do ??

Tried it, still doesn't work.

If you use IE, it seems to download it as a zip file. I used Chrome to download from (iClarified - iPhone - Where To Download iPhone Firmware Files From) and it worked. That could have something to do with it. Just saying....

i had same problem but uses redsnow 9.5.b5-1 worked for me

Just got it to work. Dont know what I did differently. But it worked. Back on T-Mobile and loving life again!

google this ipsw: "iPhone1,2_4.0_8A293_Restore.ipsw"

Doesn't work for me...
I've tried the downloaded file and the file from the apple folder and both don't work for me.
I tried the most recent version of redsn0w (0.9.5b5-4) and 0.9.2.
The first one reads the firmware but i can't jailbreak because my iPod Touch 2g is an MC Model. I've read that the 0.9.2 version can jailbreak it but it never reads the firmware...
Should i just wait a few more weeks until they release something more consistent?

try these ipsw and redsnow i used to JB mine. had jb done flawless

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

NOTE! run redsnow as administrator only and apply compatibility mode according to ur system win xp or Vista (win7)

[[ kbrito ]]

Ok... It works, or not...
Stops at "Waiting for Reboot" and does not go on.
I've tried disconnecting the ipod and connecting it again after a few seconds but it doesn't go on... >_>

I tried using redsn0w 0.9.5b5-1 and the ISPW from the link, didn't work. I tried restoring through iTunes with the ISPW and it restored. I still can't jailbreak with redsn0w. Any help?

[coleas]

[kripter]

Getting the same error when using the ipsw for 3GS.

Are you on Windows? I experienced this problem in Windows 7 until I changed the compatibility of redsn0w to Windows XP and then ran redsn0w as administrator.
