Where to download 12.5.4 *.ipsw file

Hi,


I have an iPhone 6 (model A1586 MG482ZP/A) with iOS 8.3. When I check for updates it says there is a new version iOS 12 but can not download over WiFi and to connect to iTunes. When I connect the phone to iTunes it says there is an 12.5.4 update and press update. When pressed, it asks for a *.ipsw file. The same happens when I press Restore iPhone.


Where can I download this file?


Thanks,

Minugi

iPhone 6, iOS 8

Hi

Thank you for the quick reply, but I have gone through these articles many times.

It suggests that I connect to iTunes to update as I can not update it through the phone itself.


I have iTunes 12.12.2.2. iTunes is prompting for a *.ipsw file location.

Where can I get this file?


Thanks
