Download iPhone Firmware 2.0

MacRumors has grabbed a direct download link for the new iPhone 2.0 firmware on Apple’s servers so that you can make use of the new App Store. The first thing you’ll need to do is download the iphone firmware 2.0, and then perform a little trick:

In order to install the firmware, you will have to do it manually by pressing the Option key when pressing the “Check for Update” button in iTunes. Then select the .ipsw file manually. If for some reason your download is a “.zip” file, rename it to “.ipsw” before proceeding.

Warning: This update apparently erases all of the data on your iPhone. Unfortunately this does not work on the iPod Touch.
