Is there a way to force itunes to re-download the 3.0 firmware for my iphone? Is there a file I can delete and it'll re-download it?
Backups are like guns and condoms. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Here's where they are stored for the iPod: ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates

I don't have an iPhone, but I'd assume it would be ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates

The file you're looking for is
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/iPhonex,y_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw
where x,y is the revision of your iPhone. The 3G for example is 1,2.
