    3G 8GB model, the 3GS did not come in 8gb did it?

    Any idea where I could download a IPSW file that will work or will I restore the iPhone1,2_3.1.3_7E18_Restore file to my iphone?

    Oh really, did not know that :D



    I'm fairly sure as it has the faded writing on the back of it, I think that was specified as a difference between the models?

    It sure is....


    Must be something simple I am not doing, if it works for ye and not for me like? Do I have to have the iphone connected/disconnected or maybe I must reboot the iphone first or something?

    There is no reason this should not be working like??
