Looking to download iPhone firmware instead?
Whats this?
You can use IPSW files to downgrade back to older versions of iOS, or upgrade to newer versions if you are running an old OS.
They’re also fun to explore if you’re interested in the inner workings of iOS, jailbreaking, etc
[...] unmodified IPSW files, for versions 3.2 and up for iPad. You can also download iPhone firmware or iPod touch firmware if you need [...]

Don’t decompress the file. If it comes as .zip, rename to a .ipsw file……………..then restore it………….it should work.
i have downloaded 3,1_4.1_8B117 Restore.ipsw for ipod touch 3G. but when i tried to upgrade it with itunes an error msg comes that “firmware not compatible”
plz help
Dude you failed. Lolz!
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!
is resume supported while downloadin via dwnlod manager????
Hmmm. I finally got the file downloaded, renamed the file to .ipsw (tricky in M$ DOS prompt as it has a “,” in the name), ran the update. It extracted the files, contacted Apple and got told that “This device isn’t eligible for the requested build.” Error 3194. I sent the “product improvement” file to Apple. I have also kept a copy of the file.
Itunes is the latest 10.2.2 downloaded today; iPod is 4G; current s/w is 4.1 as bought a few months ago. Any ideas?

Try again with a different web browser, the downloads are hosted by Apple and shouldn’t have any issues.
SOOO~if i’m reading this correctly, i can update the firmware on my ipod. i got this about 2 years ago,and im downloading the newest firmware. If i can’t do this..let me know.
