How to solve "Unable to recognize specified IPSW?

[Crumarix1]

U did't help me...at all . sory

What I know, for using with redsnow, must be directed to original, not custom restore firmware .

Know, that biger version of redsnow is maded for suport biger firmware version ( and lower ) .

But noone redsnow not recognize that problematical 4.3.4 ?

[Crumarix1]

WELL...definitly found reason .


From same site downloaded same file, one with IE, one with FireFox .

With IE, option is zip file, and renaming.

With FireFox, download is directly with ipsw extension.


First file is not recognized, second worked like a charm .


: Problem solved with download file with Firefox.

Dear member........

when it shows unable to recognize ipsw on certain redsn0w version, please open again that certain redsn0w and select ur ipsw without closing previous opened redsn0w.

If u face same problem after opening another redsn0w, then there is a problem in ur system.........

Try this........

[gooshi_shah]

i think redsnow say unable to recognize ipsw that time if you donot select correct ipsw version

[Crumarix1]

yust download with Mozila Firefox, simple as that .

even can close this thread.

Yes, verry strange problem, last month i make jailbreak and downgrade from ipad baseband with last version of redns0w and IPSW 6.0, with the same redsn0w and ipsw im tring to jailbreak and activate Iphone 3gs now but redsnow always says THAT IPSW is not supported by this version of redsn0w.

I`m comming back with new information about UNIDENTIFIED IPSW, the problem is itunes, after update itunes 12 or 12.1.12 whatever they change somthing in itunes libraries and redsnow or itools dont work anymoore.

I use WINDOWS 8.1

Solution is : UNINSTALL all APPLE products from DEVICE MANAGER (\itunes, icloud control panel, bonjour etc etc )

RESTART COMPUTER and check again for any apple products ( if you miss somthing)

Install OLD version of itunes like 10 or 11 , x32 or x64 from HERE Download iTunes 12.1.1 and All Previous Versions For Win & Mac

Then restart again and open Redsn0w Everithing should be allright !!

PLEASE POST IF this work and wich operating system did you use!!!

[XHouser]

i just check again windows 7 X64 and work SO 100% THIS IS SOLUTION
