What is Custom Firmware?

Code

Lets you make a "custom" Firmware that adds non-apple materials to your IPSW or unlocks it for other carriers

Why do I need it?

Code

Well, it helps you save a lot of time if your restore and need to re-store and re-jailbreak

Cool!, How do I get it?

Code

From here you should be smart enough to follow the steps (IF YOU ARE A NOOB AT MAKING IPSW'S PICK SIMPLE MODE)

After its all done creating the IPSW, there will be a custom IPSW on your desktop

lol i needed this in 2009 not 2 years later,
theres loads of tuts for these

Ya but People still don't know how to use google and still ask, I get a lot of messages asking how to do it

[Tacnayn]

WTF, this just jailbreaks the IPSW which you then restore your Device w/ the jailbroken IPSW!! hahaha, making your own IPSW will take more than this, it'll take ALOT of coding and TIME to make an IPSW!

I said it creates custom firmware for you, I didn't say you could make a IPSW
