Does anyone know where I might could find the .ipsw file for 2.2.1 anywhere else than iTunes? I am trying to downgrade back from 3.0 to 2.2.1 to try something out that won't work with 3.0. Are the files saved in iTunes somewhere already? Thank you
 
I have heard it is quite difficult to downgrade. I heard you can't put your phone into dfu mode if you are running os x 10.5.6! Is there a way to downgrade back to 10.5.5?

I would use a windows computer. I have 10.5.5 but I couldn't get quickpwn to recognize my iphone when I downgraded. I used my PC at work and the downgrade worked on the first try.
 
On Windows with iTunes 8.2 I'm just getting a purple connect to iTunes logo on the phone after selecting the 2.1 firmware. I have to do the first step in QuickPwn to get back out of it. Any ideas? Is that normal?
