Rename it to .ipsw not zip format.
If your browser downloads it as zip iTunes won't recognize it.
So when i click my firmware that i want to download i have to hit save than change the format? and i heard you cant do it on a mac if you havent jailbroken before so im using a pc
Yes change the drop down from zip to all files and delete the end .zip and type .ipsw
Sorry im a newb at this and im the person who needs directions sometimes to understand. But let me see if this is what you are saying.
Download the firmware
Hit Save
Change the format to ipsw instead of Zip and everything shall work.
And do you recommend jailbreakme.com or something else

No idea.
You didn't say what phone, firmware version your on etc..
You just posted on someone elses thread.
What exactly you want to do again?
You can't downgrade unless you have shshs saved on cydia or locally for built 4.0.1 to downgrade to.
If not you got no option but to wait.
Noone knows yet since not even the official 4.1 is out never mind the jb tools.
When those are out we will find out.
Keep an eye on this section and you'll know when the time is right.

Just a thought - I'm sure it's been considered before, but I thought I'd ask anyway...
Do you think there is a way to engineer an SHSH blob for those who don't have one or only have a different version? For example, is there a way to code a new one or edit the code of an existing one for those who forgot to get one for 4.0.1?
Does anyone actually know how the file is constructed or the variables used? Can they be opened in notepad and customised for another device? Since mine are all on Cydia I've never really had a chance to test this.

LOL. I find it funny how notepad seems to always be the answer to editing special files.
The SHSH is a heavily encrypted public key, which is then compared to Apple's private key on their end. It would take multiple supercomputers and who knows how long to crack the encryption through brute-force. Don't hold your breath on this ever being cracked.
Not possible.
What different program? I give up.
Educate yourself a little on the topic before asking anything else.
There's nothing u can use now that will work period.
LMAO, sorry, or your favourite text editing program, although notepad is the most widely recognised but as you wish!
Alright, I was just asking
Was a long shot. Shame there's no way for those perhaps inheriting an iPhone with the latest firmware wishing to jailbreak and being unable to...
