Once again! GOOGLE!
I don't know what OS you are running. But since you are trying to jailbreak, I'm assuming you have a PC. I don't know where that is because I transferred mine over from my mac. I would check in the iTunes folder in programs. Google will tell you more than I can.
You first make sure that you have downloaded the firmware through iTunes.
Using XP or Vista. you need to open "My Computer"
XP - go to the top menu and slect 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.

help with ipsw Mac
Ok,
I have read through the forum and I have successfully jailbroken my phone several times on a PC, now I have a Mac (not to familiar with Mac) I cannot find a ipsw anywhere on the Mac? I am trying to update to 3.0
I looked in the users\library\itunes and nothing! There is a folder called itunes plugins thats it.
I even downloaded a ipsw online and same thing it doesn't have a .ipsw? I used redsnow and it doesn't show anything in the folder it can open. Please help
thanks
Dan

Did it ever occur to you that he may have a PC and not a Mac?
@OP - By the way, if you need to download a specific IPSW that you do not have, download it from here:
http://redonetech.comoj.com/ios/index.html
It's my website that has the links for the download from Apple's Server.
