Try searching for the original file in trash or right click (press and hold the trackpad button an a MB/P/A) and select "Compress <file name>". This will create a <filename>.zip

Ok thanks so much now i have another question. How do I change the extension of the .zip file to .ipsw Thanks so much.
Er... for changing extensions, select the file, press command+i or right click and get info. drop the 'Name and Extension' menu by clicking on it! It should be right after 'General' and 'More Info'. Change the extension as per req. When Mac OS asks for confirmation, confirm the action...
I dont have much idea about the ipsw archiving format but as a note changing the extension only changes the file association rather than changing the file itself!
