I'm trying to download Firmware 2.2.1 for my iPhone so I can use Pwnage Tool.

Problem is that every time I download the zipped .ipsw and then unzip it, I get a folder full of files, but no .ipsw file with the usual "lego" icon.

What is going on, am I doing something wrong or do I just need to change a setting somewhere?

You don't unzip it.... all you do is change the extension form .zip to .ipsw... then it becomes the correct file format.

Thanks! I eventually found out before I read this reply, but this is exactly what I did!
