ipswDownloader is a small and easy-to-use tool used by all iDevice users to easily download any version of iOS firmwares. What makes it essential is the relative ease of use it offers and the simplification of the whole process of  firmware downloading. The ipswDownloader utility was recently ported to Windows as it was originally available for Mac OS X only. The same Windows version has been given a update and is now called as openIPSW.



The openIPSW update features changes that have significantly improved the functionality of this tool. While originally the process to download iOS firmware versions was also simple, the ability to check for jailbreak and unlock availability of a particular iOS version was also missing. openIPSW gives us precisely that as jailbreak availability information relating to each iOS version along with their respective utilities is displayed to make the jailbreaking process even simplified.

openIPSW Changelog :

* Updated GUI

* Auto updating for the application loads information about jailbreak from the server so it will always have the latest firmware versions as soon as they are available

* Adds the progress bar in the task bar icon for Windows 7
