Well theree is a jailbreak section and stuff

But anyway, when you download the .ipsw are you downloading it as a .rar or .zip? The problem i had was i didn't unzip it or unrar, you have to do that and turn it into the .ipsw so that iTunes recognizes it

3. Is it a 2g or a 3g? It can't be both.

iTunes creates the .ipsw when you backup your phone. You need to check your iTunes prefs and see where it stores this file. If nothing in the prefs shows you, then try www.google.com.

No it doesn't. That is the backup. Totally different thing.

Well everytime I've done backup from a new OS or a new phone, it has created a backup and an .ipsw. Maybe I stand corrected, but that has been the case for me. Maybe I'm confused, it is late after all.

The .ipsw is the file that contains the, if you would like to think of it like this; the structure for the iPhone. Backups are seperate files that are actually included with the .ipsw if you hit update, your iphone restores and then loads the backup files.
