Please!!!

I got a link for beta 3 (my UDID is registered, legitimately) But when I donwloaded the link I got a "blue" folder". (The beta 2 was not a folder, but a program w/a square icon...)

I went into itunes, clicked control+options, and the window did open up
but it will not let me download the beta 3 (the blue folder)

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong or PM me.

Surely the developer that added you would be able to help?

Yes, he's a nice guy, BUT I can't get ahold of him.. Im registered if someone could just PM me the link....pretty pleas!!!!
 
Ok. I have the right down load. But when I go to itunes and control +option click. The window pops open. I choose the blue folder download (iphone 1,2 -3) but it will not let me choose that one.

Can someone now give me steps on how to get this into itunes, and onto my phone.

I would be grateful. (I ur just going to be a smart aleck, don't bother, I am asking for help)

Use your "developer" skills.

It won't let you select because it's not the right file it expects - Go back over your steps and see if you can work out what you did wrong - it's easy to fix - but like previous answers I also will not give you the steps - if you can't work it out then you shouldn't be 'playing' with the 'phone and you'll only end up causing yourself more problems.

Sit back, take a deep breath, and THINK! 🙂

Clue: 'BLUE" folders are a NO NO - what came before the blue folder?
 
Thanks for the hint. I kinda figured the blue folder was the problem. Can some one please post Or PM the steps to convert the blue folder into something that the iphone recognizes...

Thank you soooo much...
 
The firmware icon must look like this:

It seems to me that you downloaded the firmware illegally via Rapidshare (or the like) and it is compressed into a few different parts.🙄

No, no, I did not illegally download any version. This was how my developer sent it. And he says that he is having the same problem also...

Sounds like your "developer" has no idea what he is doing. He most likely downloaded it through Safari and it automatically broke up the .ipsw file.

There is an easy way to cure this but then again he should know how.

But since I am a nice person I will let ya know the hint.

Go to Safari>Preferences>General and uncheck the box next to "open safe files after download"

Then when he downloads it, it will be a zip file. Then you just unzip it.

TA-DAH! 😛
