    O.k, if your struggling to get from a .zip or .rar file to a .ipsw file here’s how you do it-well for vista but I’m sure XP will be similar. Go to: My Computer-Organize-View, then uncheck ‘hide extensions for known file types’. Go back to .zip file and delete .zip and replace with .ipsw click o.k-you’ll be prompted if you really wanna do it-and yep you really wanna do it. Hey Presto ur .zip file now looks like a lego brick. I’d re-check the ‘hide extensions for known file types’ personally-leave things as you found them etc. Now ur free to ’shift’ restore in DFU mode in iTunes and locate ur new .ipsw file
