I did this after restore but BEFORE syncing contacts and it appears everything worked fine! Thank you so much!

Hi,
Works perfectly with FW 2.2.1 + ITunes 8. Like Monolito, got stuck at Apple screen for 60 secs but all good.
Thanks for your guide.

I LIED!!! I cant make any calls or receive any calls. I am completely detached from my network! I guess no jail breaking for me unless I can sort this out:(

Hello, I managed to jailbreak my iphone 3G but the problem is now, itunes cannot copy my cracked apps I downloaded from appulous. Did I miss anything? Is there a file I should download before itunes could recognise the cracked apps?
-
I am trying to jail brake my iphone 3g, I installed everything the firmware twice, I can not find it when the the second screen comes up with the browse option? where did the file go/\
-
For those of you who had their screen frozen after jailbreaking, what I did was download the 2.2.1 from the link on this page that is from Apple. Even though I already had 2.2.1 I figured why not. Then I restored my failed jailbreaked phone with the newly downloaded firmware, but I did not restore the backup. I then jailbreaked with quickpwnd and it worked. As I type, I'm restoring now with my prior backup and it sohuld be just fine and I should have all my contacts etc.

this was so easy..worked instantly...i had no trouble what so ever but then again im a pretty technical person.

HELP...
I just finished step 9 and the apple logo came up and now i can't get out of it and i did 3 reboots
CANT GET TO THE UNLOCK PAGE!!!
i also tried starting itunes but would just give me two vibrates and the camera thing would come up like 5 times now. somebody help me? -
I was a bit of a wuss about jailbreaking - thanks for holding my hand throughout the process!
Works perfectly.
-
The last solution worked directly. All files and contacts are still here and all apps appear to be working. Great stuff!!

Hey man, i had the same problem with my iphone. Just leave your phone connected after the new image has been flashed. Give it about 10 seconds then open up itunes. After itunes is opened for about 30 sec(it will appear as if it froze up), your phone will come back to life along with your previously installed apps. Hope this helps some one. Peace and keep real.

so any help? -
I did this but when i boot it up it does not do any thing but stay at the boot screen. Would someone please tell me what to do.

This don't work. Bricks your iPhone and leaves it with a pineapple logo.
-
It took me two tries to get this to work, this first time she froze on the load up screen (black screen with apple logo). I had to restore it to factory in iTunes, and on the seconde try it worked like a charm.

Finally some progress.
BTW, when I did this update, it appeared to go through the whole update scenario. Here is what went down:(1) On Mac - Sending 018-4443-16.dmg 22531KB
(2) On Mac - Sending kernelcache,release.s518900x
(3) On iPhone - Flashing NOR (Running Pineapple logo)
(4) On iPhone - Installing Bundles
(5) On iPhone - Syncing Filesystems
(6) On iPhone - Rebooting
(7) On iPhone - Pineapple logo!!!! foreverSo now some good luck for me. I started with the PC page, then read the Mac page. Luckilly the Mac page had the details of how to put the phone in firmware mode. Turn off device, Turn on device with both power and home for 10 seconds, then release just power while still holding home for another 10 secs. All this while connected to itunes. This allowed me to restore my iphone via itunes to its original appleness. Next, I figure since I am no long en pineapple brick mode, that I should be able to get out of it again if I screw things up again. So this time I skipped the part in this write up where it said:
If your iPhone 3G firmware Version is 2.2.1 (5H11) and Modem Firmware is 02.30.03 then you are ready to jailbreak your iPhone 3G, you can skip directly to "Jailbreak iPhone 3G using QuickPwn" below.
When I first tried this process, I looked at the about screen in the iPhone and verified that this was true so I skipped straigth to jailbreaking with QuickPwn. Big mistake! Maybe this is not the case for everyone, but this was the case for me. I went ahead and did this file-style firmware update to my iPhone (even though I already had 2.2.1) anyway. Next I did the jailbreak with QuickPwn and badabing ... I'm good.

why ican't execute the quickpawn program??it says encountered a problem..i've tried in 3 computers..

HHIII All the cool guys
I followed the steps and I got the message jailbreak was successful. But my phone didn't reboot. it was stuck with the apple logo on the screen.
wait about 20 mins. nothing happened,
I ran the Quickpwn.exe again but only went two steps,my phone came back online.
all apps are running, Works fine
GreaaaateBig thanks to Dev Team

I followed all these steps however once everything had uploaded the phone rebooted as it said it should but it has just stayed on the apple icon it will not start up and it does not appear in itunes so there is nothing i can do, i have tried redoing the process and still no sucsess can anyone offer any support?

Just a minor suggestion for newbies, just like me (it took me several weeks to figure it out). Firmware is downloaded as .ZIP file. For QuickPwn to accept the firmware bundle, it it necessary to change the file from .ZIP to .IPSW extension (In my case, I did it through Prompt Command). As DOS doesn't seem to accept long file names, I rename the downloaded file in the Windows to "iPhone", then in the Prompt Command rename it to "iPhone.ipsw", and finally rename it in the Windows to "iPhone1,2_2.2.1_5H11_Restore". With this simple procedure, I was able to follow all the instructions of this tutorial.
Now my iPhone is finally jailbroken!
Thank you veru much!!! -
