• Step 5: Click the file named applelogo.XXX.img3. Click the file a second time to edit its name. Give this file the name you wrote down in Step 4. Again, the "XXX" in this file name varies depending on the firmware you are using.
• Step 6: Exit the firmware folders and change the firmware file's extension from .zip back to .ipsw.
• Step 7: Connect the iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes. Press and hold the "Shift" key and click the "Restore" button in the iTunes application window.
