you must have extracted the file by accident. same thing happened to me at first. try using firefox or something and keep it as the .ipsw file, then go into itunes, hold the option key and click update, then select the file. enjoy 2.0!
First go into Safari Prefs and uncheck "Open "safe" files after downloading" under the General Tab.
Next Download.
Next right click downloaded folder and go to "get info" - Or - Just rename the folder by deleting the ".zip" from the name. So that it's an .ispw.
Next go in iTunes. You want to click Restore while holding the "option/alt" key.
And click the folder you downloaded and changed the name.
That should do it! That's all I did.

Did all this (after updating iTunes to 7.7) and I get a message that "An unknown error occurred (1403)".
Anyone got any ideas? Or am I stuck waiting for the official update to be pushed through (presumably involving another seemingly endless download of the software).
This is what i did :
had a 1.1.4 16gb iphone that i used ziphone on, used the unlock all feature in ziphone months back, i have a o2 contract but NOT iphone one and basically i ran the download installed 2.0 fine, went through the activation in itunes etc, by logging in using my email/password from itunes account and it come up 'activated iphone'. Then restored all contacts/music etc from back up file.
Working like a charm, as i say i am on a o2 contract but not iphone so so far so good .......
