iPhone firmware downloads (v1.0 to v3.0)

June 18, 2009 by dennis

As we wrote, iPhone firmware v3.0 is now available for everyone to download. And while Apple suggests to use iTunes’ automatic update process to do that, you can also download it directly to your computer first.

Below is a list of all currently available firmware versions for both the original (2G) iPhone, the iPhone 3G, and the iPhone 3GS, from v1.0 to v3.0. This list could be especially useful if you’re on a slow internet connection, would like to jailbreak/unlock your device, or are simply experimenting with various firmwares.

iPhone 3G (Second Generation iPhone) firmware downloads:

- iPhone 3G firmware v2.0
- iPhone 3G firmware v2.0.1
- iPhone 3G firmware v2.0.2
- iPhone 3G firmware v2.1
- iPhone 3G firmware v2.2
- iPhone 3G firmware v2.2.1
- iPhone 3G firmware v3.0

iPhone 3GS (Third Generation iPhone) firmware downloads:
- iPhone 3GS firmware v3.0

I am in the same boat except I have my IPSW file available. When selecting it Redsn0w is telling me my IPSW is unable to recognize. Any ideas on how to get around this one ? Cheers.

Hi Nick,
Are you sure you got the right file? Different iPhone models (2G/3G/3GS) have completely different IPSW files, even though they're all v3.0. So maybe you just got the wrong one?

Sorry, we cannot legally provide those since Apple charges money for iTouch firmware upgrades. Try to use Google.

i download firmware 3.0 but it was in zip file and when i unzip it doesnt contain IPSW file. all was just DMG file. why is that?
http://pwnmyi.com/ pwnmyi.com

Jack, are you using safari to download it, if so, it changed the extension of the.ipsw, easiest way is to get firefox
iphonew

Jack, you must've downloaded the file elsewhere (=not from our site).

The files we're linking to are NOT .zip files!

iphonew, they are if you use the new safari

How do I get Firmware for iTouch 2G?
iphonew

Well, where did you download it to?:) Try to find that directory… or make a search on your whole computer for the filename.
iphonew

Apple requires you to purchase it, as such we cannot host those files or provide links to it.

If you want it for free try Google search, or maybe check at rapidshare (sadly I cannot provide any links to avoid Apple's wrath).

Otherwise you need to purchase it for $9.99 directly from Apple.

i noticed that these files are not in ispw. format. how to we apply these files when retoring the iphone?
iphonew

Rename them to .ipsw .. apparently Safari for some reason names them to .zip extension.
rmason3822

How would I do that? Windows gives me the ability to rename the file but not
the extention?

When i download iphone firmware v3.0, is it necessary restore the iphone before unlocking?
Andi91

its problem if i put an hightes version than that iphone has. Exampe: my iphone 2g has v2.0 can i put an version v3.0
iphonew

No need to restore it.
iphonew

It's not a problem at all… You just upgrade, then you run redsn0w to jailbreak/unlock the new firmware on your iPhone 2G.http://www.iphoneworld.ca/news/2009/08/01/jailbreak-unlock-iphone-2g-3g-3gs-v301-firmware-with-redsn0w-ultrasn0w/
