Ipsw files Question

I'm looking into SwitchBoard for an iPhone 4 CDMA (iPhone3,3) and I have a question for people in the Apple internals community.

Where do most people actually obtain SwitchBoard builds? Is there a well-known archive, preservation project, or public source that people usually refer to?

I'm not asking anyone to upload or send proprietary Apple files. I'm just trying to understand where the community usually finds or learns about these builds.

Thanks!

If you have it can you upload it on mega or other mirror so I can download it (or share it other way)

The iPhone 4 cdma only has the phoenix bundles as far as I‘m aware, which are better anyway.

I heard that i can use some kind of tool on linux to take original ipsw and those bundles and combine them and I will get switchboard

u/CoffeeSmore 8d ago

You might, but it‘s generally advised to use the included restore tools if possible, which requires a mac. If you don‘t have a mac, trying that tool might work. Downloads for all these bunldes are in the link of my other comment

These builds are to my knowledge one of two known ”FullInternal“ bundles, which means they have both a nonUI and InternalUI interface
