I am downloading the ipsw file to unlock my old iPhone 3GS but it comes down as a zip. When I extract it I end up with a folder but no ipsw file. What am I doing wrong?

Looks like you're using Safari, use Chrome or Firefox to download the ipsw file or change the extension of the zip file from .zip to .ipsw to fix the issue.

Actually I'm using Explorer, on Windows 8

Try renaming the file as I mentioned earlier.
-
Do I rename before downloading or extracting/unzipping?
-
You should rename the downloaded file and you should not unzip it, otherwise it won't be a zip file :D

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

Try using Chrome or Firefox to download the file.

Because it's unzipped, red snow is failing to recognize it.

Thanks gautam for all he help. I've successfully downloaded the file. But as I begin to run the jailbreak it gives me a "Failed to decrypt kernel" error. Any ideas why?
