iPhone Firmware Download

By on September 5, 2008 in Posted In: iPhone, Tips & How-to

Some of the readers asked where you can find the direct link for the iPhone firmware files. I bookmarked quite a lot of the older version of firmware files, as well as the latest one. This is good to keep such list that I can always directly get the firmware file in case I need it. And, for any reasons, you are in search of iPhone firmware files. Here is the list of direct URL for downloading the firmware:

This list does not end here. I’ll continue update it when a new version of firmware is available. Stay tuned.

    Daniel, to unlock iPhone 2.1, you can use QuickPwn to jailbreak and unlock it. You can refer to this post for procedures.

    Daniel, I think the other icon is “Cydia”, right? If you can already got these icons, that mean your iPhone has already been jailbreak. What jailbreak mean is that you can install 3rd party application on iPhone via application like Cydia or Installer. This is the main change after jailbreak.

      @carla,

      iPhone 3.1 contains a baseband update for your iPhone. So, even you downgrade it from 3.1 to 2.1. You still can’t unlock your iPhone. The only way is to downgrade the baseband using Fuzzyband, which I will write about it very soon.

          @Carla, you can check out the downgrade guide here.

          Even it’s locked, you can still access iTunes after jailbreak.

    i download 3.0 software but file type was .zip how can i open this as a ipsw?

    Everyone.download with firefox or google chrome and it is not a zip file.after the 1015 error close iTunes and open quickpwn 2.2 which u should have downloaded already and follow the steps(hold home and power for 15 seconds then hold power for 2 seconds)then open iTunes again and it will be downgraded and activated.if you want to jailbreak after this use redsnow 0.8.
    Also when u downgrade the BenM tethering hack will work again.

    the firmware for 3G 3.1 i read is iPhone1,2_3.1_7A341_Restore.ipsw

    instead the file you have for 3G 3.1 is iPhone1,2_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw

    When trying to use 7C144 it says firmware not recognized. any suggestions?

      Almost two weeks and you haven’t responded to this. Your instructions say that we need iPhone1,2_3.1_7A341_Restore.ipsw for the 3.1 iphone 3g firmware, but your links for this file download iPhone1,2_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw instead, which doesn’t work………????

        Sorry for the typo. You should use iPhone1,2_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw for iPhone 3G. Try to use Firefox to download the firmware. Some browsers will automatically extract the ipsw file that makes your firmware file not recognized.

      @ananad, it’s not a custom firmware but the original firmware from Apple. To jailbreak and unlock iPhone 3GS 3.1, you need to use PwnageTool (for Mac).

    Simon, I have a 2G iPhone, bought jailbroken and unlocked in China. Without doing my research first, I upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1.3. The reason I updated was because Cydia stopped loading. Thankfully, I was able to unlock the phone using redsn0w, and everything works normally EXCEPT Cydia. It opens and loads but then whenever I try to download the apps I had before (Bite SMS, backgrounder, winterboard, proswitcher, etc.) it says “Host Unreachable.” Also, on the main Cydia page, the place where all the icons should be now show up as question marks. Any thoughts? I’d really like to be able to use Cydia again…

      In china you need connect Internet through wifi and proxy to connect to cydia.
      Setting- WLAN- blue arrow right- dhcp-proxy settings down the page

    I have a 3GS that was jailbroken I believe on 3.1.2. I accidently upgraded to 3.1.3….is there anyway at all to downgrade to any lower firmware? The phone is now also not activated so I need it activated, unlocked and jailbroken. Please tell me I have not completely screwed myself!
