im trying to jaiblreak my iphone 3g and i downlaoded the firmware file and it shows up as a folder with a bunch of files in it. how can i get it to become the the .ispw file? i tried downloading it from another site also to make sure it wasnt what i downloaded. please help.. i have a macbook
 
no file named foobar.ipsw.zip anywhere at all on my mac

It's not really called that, I think he was just filling in something because he doesn't know the exact file name. Just drag it out of the trash and remove the .zip from the file name, and iTunes will recognize it correctly.
 
use a different browser to download the file. Safari doesn't like downloading the firmware files correctly, but firefox grabs them fine...
