iPhoneHeat December 1, 2010, 2:29 am

make sure the file extension is .IPSW

Noel December 9, 2010, 8:59 am

i download the zop file. extract it, there are no ipsw files. You say rename the extention, but what files to change

Noel

Matt December 12, 2010, 4:27 pm

You change the ZIP file to a .IPSW file.

tray55555 December 22, 2010, 9:20 am

how

daniel309 March 8, 2011, 11:56 pm

nswr the question please¡¡¡
HOW?!?!?!

rajhere March 9, 2011, 9:09 am

Just Rename the .zip to .ipsw for example
2_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.zip then rename it like 2_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw thats all

coolkid123 March 19, 2011, 6:27 pm

yea if it is a zip file it is compressed and you need a program to unzip that

will1313 May 15, 2011, 9:11 pm

i have done all the steps ive even redownloaded the firmware twice and after i change it to ipsw it says unable to recognize specified ipsw what do i do im stuck

lmin September 9, 2011, 10:46 am

I tried changing from zip to ipsw for hours its a waste of time. then i downloaded firefox web browser and it does not zip files it downloads them as they are. in this case ipsw. it worked perfect.

AL TAMIMI December 16, 2010, 3:21 am

TANK YOU FORFOR AIVR

canefan56 January 2, 2011, 4:22 am

rajhere April 15, 2011, 10:34 am

Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to your PC/Mac

Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.

After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.

Cheers

can an iphone 4 that came with iOS 4.3.3 be downgraded? We’ve tried all the posted options, but it seems not working. We never upgraded to 4.3.3, already installed, so no old firmware to save. Possible to still download and use a general 4.2.1 firmware?
