    does anyone know where i would be able to download IPhone 3GS 3.1.2 firmware?
    on youtube and other sites they all show this site
    http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
    but the bad thing is it comes up as zip file and when i use winrar to un rar it, it does not give me the .ipsw file....
    does anyone know the solution for this?
    many thanks in advance:bowdown:
     
  2. you should be able to automatically update it via itunes.. why do you need to manually update it?

    heard 3GS JB-ing is a bit of a challenge? True?

    ^ yes it is cos the 3.1.3 puts your baseband to 05.12.01 and once you have that your screwed...
    unless u have the old boot base band then your fine...

    Have u tried using firefox to download it? also.. i think you can just change the extension name to .ipsw (but not too sure)

    And.. im not too sure, but downgrading it is quite tricky.. cos itunes wont let u downgrade even with a shift restore - u have to bypass it

    it'll be a waiting game .. cos they teams JBing it probably wont release anything until apple release a newer fw.. they dont want apple to cover the JB loophole

    there is actually a program called 'sn0wbreeze-V1.5.2' which does happen to jailbreak the new firmware 3.1.3, However your Iphone has to be previously hacked in order for it to work...

    I just got my iphone and has't ever been hacked b4 so i gotta wait for some other hackers to release their versions...
