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.

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?

Doesn't see .ipsw file

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?

Vista sucks

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 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?
