Firmware Keys
Introduction
These keys are for use with the 'vfdecrypt' tool to decrypt the main filesystem DMG found in every iPhone/iPhone 3G/iPod touch .ipsw file. Every key will work on the main filesystem DMG for that build, regardless if it is for the iPhone or iPod touch unless specified. The DMG that you are after is the bigger one, in the case of current builds of 2.0, it can sometimes be 200+ MB!
VFDecrypt Usage
./vfdecrypt -i <dmg> -o decrypted_fs.dmg -k <key> or vfdecrypt.exe -i <dmg> -o decrypted_fs.dmg -k <key>
Gaps
As you will notice, there may be a gap or two, or a key for a current build that is not there. Please feel free to add them, but please be sure that it is only the key for a User or Developer build, as if you gave the key for another type of build that might or may not be out there people could get in trouble, and we do not want that. Thanks for contributing!
Coming Soon
A GUI release of VFDecrypt (called Firmware Decrypter) will be available very soon. It is being made right now and will probably be done in the next two weeks. As a pre-release, a newer easier to use VFdecrypt 2.0 will also be released by Friday October 1st which will allow drag and drop + one click decryption. No more inputting code into terminal as it will be done automatically. However it will be only available on OSX as there is already a Windows Decrypter =D
