The FAQ at the iPhone Developer Programm says to “Download the OS X iPhone Disk Image (.dmg) from the iPhone Dev Center “.
Unfortunately the FAQ is kind of out of date here. The DMG is presently not available for direct download. WHat you’ve got to do, to get a working .ipsw is looking into ˜/library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates and choose a proper .ipsw (for iPhone 2.0) from there. If you (like me) have not upgraded to 2.0 with iTunes and there is no proper ipsw in the folder, you need to do a “Restore” in iTunes. This not only backups your iPhone (which is a good idea to do before putting it into development mode), but also downloads the latest iPhone build to ˜/library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates. You have to choose this file (presently iPhone1,2_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw) instead of the ipsw that the FAQ tells you to download.
I spent like 15 minutes looking for the damn dmg on the Developer Website…
