You don't. You can only download and install the current version of iOS for your device. For the 3GS, 4, and 4S, that's 6.0.1. For the 5, it's 6.0.2. For the 3G, it's 4.2.1. I believe the last version that will run on the original iPhone is 3.1.3, but I'd have to double check that.


iOS 5 is no longer signed by Apple and can not be installed.
