2.1 Update Direct Link

[HDJulie]

Can someone please post the direct link for the 2.1 upgrade for the iPhone 3G? We are on satellite internet at home with a 400 meg limit so I need to download it while at work. I think this might be it but I am not savvy enough to be sure:

That should be it the 1,2 indicates the 3G.

Here is the direct link for the 1st gen:

Just wondering, how do you get the .ipsw file to work with iTunes after the download ?
Do you drag it to the iTunes folder or something ?
Thanks in advance.

Hold Shift, click restore, select the file

Edit: It's SHIFT not ALT

Hold Alt, click restore, select the file

I believe you can also put the file in the iTunes folder & it will see it but I don't remember off the top of my head what the path is.

Thanks mate!

Holding shift doesn't work for me. I hold alt+click Restore and it goes to browse to the file but when I choose the .ipsw folder, it just tries to open the folder, instead of initializing the update procedure.

help?

I am also have this problem. It act like it cannot find the .ipsw file. The file extension is correct. Also tryed moving the file to the itunes folder. Any other ideas?

[stridle]

I figured out why iTunes would not recognize the .ipsw file. Vista associated it with a zip file for some reason. I copied the filename into the open file window and then added .zip after .ipsw.

I am at work and my mac is at home so I was forced to use a PC. :(

Hope this helps!

I feel sorry for you! i really do... No one should have to go through that!

I downloaded this and it was automatically extracted into a folder. I'm on OS X 10.5.4, so is this normal behavior? Shift + click on 'Restore' should work, right?
