How do I update WITHOUT iTunes?

My phone is in "recovery mode" so sayeth iTunes. And I need to restore AND update. (You'd think I'd have an option)
But the net connection in my country isn't fast and when I try to download this ridiculously large OS 3.1, I always get a time out (download time is like 17hrs).
I usually use a download manager for downloading such large files but iTunes obviously doesn't have such functionality.
Any other LEGIT way to update? Or to at least bring it out of recovery mode? (really don't care much for the OS update)
thanks.

Use THIS LINK to download iPhone OS 3.1.3 for the Original iPhone. Once you have it, hold down Shift (Windows) or Option (Mac) when you click Update in iTunes, and you'll be prompted to locate the downloaded .ipsw file.

    How do I update to Itunes 11 without losing all my stuff on my current itunes (10.6.3)

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You won't lose songs when you update iTunes to the most recent version, but I recommend you to make a copy of your library in another folder. After updating, open iTunes and it will update the library to use it with the most recent version

  • How to delete tune without iTunes

    Hi,
    I have a problem, I have some old podcast which I like to keep on my harddrive. Then I got the ipod, so I want to store the podcast episodes there. But dragging direct from Finder to ipod show me it copied but didn't appear under podcast. I found out after a few trial and error that I should have added the podcast to iTunes before dragging into ipod. So...
    Good : Finder -> iTunes Podcast -> iPod
    Bad : Finder -> iPod
    So now those files I drag direct from finder into ipod are in the ipod but I can't get rid of them, cause they don't show up in the iTunes list. It shows up in Senuti and iPodDisk, but both don't allow me to delete the song. Now I can't drag those podcast episodes in to ipod from iTunes podcast anymore. It somehow recognise that the file exist on the ipod but wouldn't list it on the podcast.
    So, back to the question, How to delete tune without iTunes?? thanks

    Did you try using the Finder? I'm trying to accomplish similar management tasks. Finder seems far superior to itune management, for podcasts management. This might work-- First quit itunes.
    Use a finder window, not spotlight, search itunes and single-click on any folder by that name. Notice which of these files is in your startup disc (in case you have other bootable drives connected)-- Notice the little icons on the bottom of the Finder window. Double click on "iTunes Music" at the window bottom. A new Finder window should open. I recomend the list mode, selectable at the top left of Finder window. Now you should be able to view all your itune- contents on the computer. It seems these files can be deleted, but one must remeber to empty trash before going further. Unfortunately this approach won't allow adding new folders that will show up in itunes.

  • Downloading updates without iTunes?

    Is there a way to download iPod Updates without iTunes? Here's my problem. I have an iPod that is locked up at work and need to restore it. When I try to restore it, iTunes tells me there is new software available for my iPod. The problem is that I'm using my cell phone to get online and it would take 6 hours to download the update and I don't have broadband access at work. I would like to download the update at home, take it in to work, and then be able to restore it successfully.
    Thanks in advance.

    The iPod Updater has been integrated with iTunes since the release of version 7. There's no longer a standalone updater you can download to deliver the latest updates so you need to be able to use iTunes if you want to update the iPod
