Downloading Older iPhone Firmware / IPSW Files
Wondering where you can get all the older iPhone firmware files from? Here’s the direct download links for all of the iPhone IPSW firmware files from version 3.0.0 on up through 6.1.0 for iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4, 4S, or 5. Note that we are not hosting the files, they are direct links to Apple’s web servers.
NOTE: Older iOS versions are not necessarily guaranteed to function as Apple may or may not be signing the IPSW version any longer. The newest available versions of iPhone IPSW can be downloaded here, or follow continuously updated IPSW posts here including that which is available for other iDevices.
Older Versions of iPhone IPSW Firmware Downloads
The firmware files can be quite large (600MB in some cases) so don’t be surprised if it takes a while to download. It’s easiest to just right-click on the file you want and save it directly, some users experience trouble with Safari when directly clicking the download URL.
If you are unsure of the type of iPhone, here is how to check if an iPhone is a GSM or CDMA model. Use that information to download the appropriate IPSW for the device.

Local IPSW File Locations
Any iPhone IPSW files that you have already downloaded from iTunes are stored locally on your machine. You can access these directly at the following locations:
Mac OS X: ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
Windows Vista & Windows 7: \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
What are IPSW files anyway?
The IPSW acronym is thought to stand for iPhone Software. IPSW files are essentially just packages to deliver updates to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch including the baseband and firmware. Anytime you update your device iTunes will grab a new IPSW from Apple’s servers. People are generally concerned with IPSW files for either exploration into the workings of iOS and the iPhone, or for jailbreaking and unlocking purposes.
You can find out how to use IPSW files if you are uncertain.
Jailbreaking
IPSW files are most pertinent to Pwnage since you can use a custom IPSW file if you wanted to. You can download PwnageTool if you need it. Redsn0w works as well but may require a tethered jailbreak for some iOS versions.
Recent rulings have ensured that jailbreaking your iPhone is not illegal, although Apple maintains that it will void your warranty. For this reason if you ever need iPhone warranty service, be sure to unjailbreak your iPhone before taking it into Apple. There are mixed reports of Apple caring and not being concerned that phones are jailbroken, but your mileage may vary and it’s best to play it safe.

TO FIND OUT IF YOU HAVE A GSM OR CDMA:

when im trying to do it manually via itunes shift+click on update it loads and everything but then i got an error 3194.

I wonder could you help me?
If I look at the ipsw file on my Xp pc then it is as is suggested a .ipsw file
When I download iOS 5.1.1 IPSW for iPhone 4 GSM the zip file does not contain an ipsw file.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
u have to rename it as .ipsw not .zip and it will change to a package that itunes can read
It’s because the file automatly named “iPhone2,1_6.0_10A403_Restore” when you download from IE, and there are contained the characters “,.”, so everyone should change the file name without “,.” characters in it such as “iPhone2_1_6_10A403_Restore.ipsw”. In this way the file will success to download as .ipsw format for itune
don’t you have i OS 6 firmware, it has released already……………..
I want to install it on my iPhone !!
Please, provide me this firmware
THANK YOU !!!
Hi,
Up on my request to At&t to unlock my iphone, they reverted back to me with a e-mail saying unlock confirmed (after 7days of wait) and provided me the steps to restore the iphone using itunes. Following the steps, i tried the same but after spending aprrox 3hr(Updating and restoring through itunes) the error message pop-up on itunes “The iphone cannot be restored because the firmare is not compatible”. My iphone is with Firmware 5.1, Jailbroken and unlocked with Gevey Sim, baseband 04.10.01. Is that make some difference?
My other question is i can update my iphone to the latest version through my iphone itself as it is giving me the option to update it to the latest version and then further i may restore it through the itunes to complete the unlock process. Will it be safe and appropriate? I was on a previous version of itunes when that error message poped-up but now i have an updated itunes version, I only want to do it to save time on again trying to update and restore my iphone through itunes which takes a long time and i am afraid it may give the same error message after putting lots of efforts and time.
i did had a discussion with Apple Community but as per them my next attempt to update and restore will lead to convert my device to ibrick.
Please advice!
Thanks

hai, i m new user for iphone. i just buy a second hand iphone 3gs n88ap. i wrongly click the “restore” button for my iphone in itune. now my iphone cannot be running in! what should i do now? TQ
If your getting .zip files when you download use Google Chrome as stated above, for some reason IE changes it to a zip file. Chrome doesn’t as I just tried it. Pulling hair out for a while on that one!!! Not sure if you can just rename it to .ipsw or not but I just used chrome.
i accedentilly let my iphones battery run out and it either stay at the red battery or the apple logo and ive just downloaded the ipsw files what do i do now

You can’t downgrade unless you saved SHSH blobs. If you don’t know what that is, you didn’t save them meaning you can’t downgrade.

Hi all,
How do I know my iphone with GSM or CDMA network? Please suggest the way to check on iphone. Thanks
This is what I found from apple support site:
” iPhone 4 (GSM model) has a SIM tray on the right side of the case for holding a micro-SIM card. iPhone 4 (CDMA model) does not have a SIM tray.”
I think most iPhones are with GSM model :)
Just check is there a SIM tray on the right side of your device and you should be able to recognize which download link to choose.
Hi. I just downloaded the ios 5 file for my iphone 4 gsm model. The file came through on my windows 7 pc as a zip file. When I extracted the file, there were a lot of other files in there, like .dmg file, but no .ipsw files. I then tried to convert the .dgm file to ipsw with Transmac, but it came up and said that encrypted files are not supported. Has anyone expereinced this problem, and does anyone have a solution? Thanx in advance
Ok, I see that Internet Explorer downloads the file as zip. If that happens, just follow this:
“I’ve tried it. It works perfectly for all versions. After you download the ispw firmware that had given from them or you can search from the web engines, do not extract it. Open the File, Click File, And Click Save Archive Copy As. And type .ispw at the end of the sentence before saving. And Done! You get an ispw firmware without cracking your brain. Try it!”
Thanks Friend
thanks a lot you solved my problem with in no time before this i spent 4 hours for good for nothing….again thanks you from the bottom of my heart
im trying to jailbreak my iphone 3Gs , i did the DFU but how come when i do it it keep coming back itunes to my iphone screen . it is so frustrating , im not good with this pleaseeeeeeeeeeee help me …. thanks

I have used the pwnage tool to try to jailbreak my iphone 3gs 4.2.1 baseband 5.14.04. I went through the process of creating a custom .ipsw and when i tried to restore the iphone via itunes i get the error message that the phone could not be restored because the firmware is incompatible. What should i do now? I wanted to jailbreak and then unlock this phone without having to change the baseband. THanks for your help.

I can’t say this enough. Do not download your ipsw software from anywhere. You’ll just end up with redsn0w at the waiting for reboot window and iphone stuck in dfu mode. Use the ipsw in your apple updates folder only. Do not upgrade your baseband until you’ve check the version of your iphone and read the warnings, because you will spend a lot of time trying to fix your bricked failed flash of the baseband, thats going to take time and reading to fix.

Hi All,
I am facing a problem which i am unable to solve even after spending hrs. neither i can find the solution anywhere on the internet.
The problem is described below:
1) I have a iphone 3GS with New Boot ROM
2) I had jailbroken it on version 4.0.1 through jailbreakme.com and had cydia installed
3) I was browsing system folders through iFile application from cydia and out of curiousity I deleted many folders including system, app etc and suddenly the iphone went blank
4) I dont have backup of my SHSH
5) Now when i try to restore IPSW file (3.1.3, 4.0.1, 4.1) through itunes 9.2/10.1 I get 3014/3194 error
6) I tried Redsn0w 0.9.6 b6, iREB, Sn0wbreeze 2.1 etc but none seems to work
Please if anyone can kindly suggest me how to solve this issue I would be grateful to him …….as of now my iPhone is like a brick
I have the same problem, now even worse! The iphone 3GS keeps rebooting with Apple logo only! Any idea how to restore 4.0.1? I don’t want to update to 4.2.1 Give me some advice please.

if you upgrade, it will unjailbreak it, then use pwnagetool to jailbreak
don’t use redsnow because it will render the unlock useless

I’m about to pull out my hair. I’m trying to unlock my iphone 3GS IOS 4.3.3 so I can use it overseas. I installed Cydia to jailbreak and then ultrasn0w to unlock. After it not working, I since discovered that it wouldn’t unlock because my firmware ver is 05.16.02. I followed all the on-line tutorials to upgrade to 06.15.00 using redsn0w.
I’ve tried 3 seperate times to download a stock IOS 4.3.3 IPSW – but each time there are no *.IPSW files evident anywhere on my computer. There is the downloaded folder with numerous files in it, but not a single *.ipsw file. What am I doing wrong???
Try to download the ipsw file from Mozilla Firefox browser NOT from Internet Explorer.
thank you, i have been trying this for days to no avail. Internet explorer is a pain lately.
tanx very much it worked
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Mozilla work wonderful on the first try.
flash your baseband ONCE MORE and then reapply unlock : )

does anyone ever host the custom ipsw? I know you can muck around in the .plist files contained within these things to downgrade iOS but there’s a large margin of error, would be nice to just grab the modified ipsw directly
@Ali. You are the one modifying the .ipsw, that is the point. The intention is to have a clean restorative .ipsw to return back to or change yourself if you are extra brave, but what’s the point?
The custom .ipsw files created from Pwnage Tool are not what you’d want to restore from if you want to do a fresh jailbreak, that’s why you are getting a fresh package from Apple. How do you think someone tries out every jailbreak? They’re not just applying them on top of each other, they are restoring each time.
With the exception of the old jailbreaks, there isn’t much reason to host custom .ipsw anymore.
@Senator, I think Ali was assuming that someone would Jailbreak a phone, then just post the .ipsw afterwards making Jailbreaking as easy as just ‘restoring’ to the jailbroken .ipsw, I’m assuming that an ipsw is not a complete image of the phone or I’m sure people would just be doing this … if it is a complete image then ‘what the crap’, why aren’t people sharing jailbroken ipsw’s =P
I was hoping you would have a DL to 4.2, I’m impatient :P
