hey im trying to jailbreak my 3gs using redsn0w but I cant find a copy of my firmware online that works. I have the new 4.3.3 firmware but when I try and download it, it shows up as a bunch of .dmg files and when I change the file type to .ipsw it stil doesnt work. Just wondering if anyone knows what I am doing wrong. thanks.

redsn0w is a dmg file...dont change teh file type to .ipsw just open redsn0w close itunes and i assume u have a mac since ur downloading a .dmg file? close ituneshelper from activity monitor as well.

then in redsn0w choose the firmware u already have on it then click yes its the new (fixed) 3gs
then select install ipad baseband and jailbreak and follow the steps on the screen.

if u need any more details let me know
also when u restore make sure u have an at&t (if in the US) sim or w/e the phone is originally locked to.

redsn0w is working fine its just that when I try to upload the firmware to redsn0w it doesnt work because all the firmware files are .dmg so then I tried to rename the files and change them to .ipsw and it still didnt work.

.dmg is a mac file, not a ipod firmware......did you download the right file? download ipod/iphone firmwares from [SIZE=small]www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/[/SIZE]
