1.1.1 Firmware Won't stay an .ipsw (please help)

[Sstrappjr]

Hi

I am trying to jailbreak my I-touch and the step i am currently stuck at is the point where you download the 1.1.1 Firmware to your desktop (or easy finding place). The problem is whenever I download the file it starts as a .ipsw file but then once downloaded fully, it cuts the .ipsw file name out and has the icon of a itunes box. A thread was already recently posted about this problem and his solution was to use a different browser to download the file instead of Firefox, i used I.E 7 and I got the same results, it cut the .ipsw from the file once downloaded. Also I tried the safari browser way by downloading the beta from apple. Someone said with safari you must hit (CTR + ,) to get into preferences then uncheck the box that says "open safe" only when I do that and enter prefrences I see no "open safe" box. Safari does the same as the other browsers, it starts as a .ipsw during installation but once completed it is not a .ipsw anymore.

Any help is greatly appreicated.

If it is a zip file at the moment do this:

Right Click
Get Info
Click the Name & Extensioin tab near the middle
change the .zip to .ipsw, or if its already 1.1.1.ipsw.zip, just delete the zip.

That should solve your problem.

You are on Mac right?

Ok but why whenever I go to the next step and hold Shift and click restore and select that file it gets done extracting but right after a error occurs and quits?

Firefox was my first resort but I will do what you say.

Just re-downloaded it thru Firefox and when I selected file to restore through I-tunes it repeated itself through the error code.

I guess I will make a new thread asking about this error

i sent you private msg regarding the fix, but here it is just in case.

Try putting our ipod into 'restore' mode.

push power and home button down, hang on to them.
ipod will power down, then let go of power but keep pushing home.
after 10-15 seconds, your computer will flash a warning saying your ipod is in restore mode.

THEN

alt-shift click restore, select file downloaded using firefox.


IF this doesnt work, let me know.

Yea you have to force it into restore mode to put 1.1.1 on it if you are downgrading it, either that or the old fashion way with iphuc
