Same Problem... Does it ever go to recovery mode???

Im the same cant fix this anyone found a solution to this ?????????

I succesfully jailbreaked my iphone 3g with firmware 2.2.1. and it works great. I had slight problems with ipsw file. After some delay I removed zip extension and I was able to find ipsw file when QuickPwn asked me to browse for 2.2.1 firmware. Go to Start, Control panel, Folder Options, View, Hide extensions for known file type and then rename folder and remove zip extension. I hope this helps. Bye

Thanks for the explanation. It works great and I like the pineapple.

Currious, I have been using ym Iphone since august 08, if I do this restoral for the jailbreak will it wipe all my contacts and everything? if it does is there anyway to merge the two restores, my original one with the jailbroken version?

Right click ure iPhone in iTunes and create backup then u can restore from backup later

Hi, if I have a new, bricked iPhone 3G I guess I have to start with step 4... or? THX!!!!

When I get to the `Browse for ipsw` step, I put in the file, 2.2.1, and it should be working, but the blue arrow wont load, and so I cant carry on with the jailbreaking. Nor can I see the iPod that should be on the left hand side. (the one that gets a check mark). Help please?

I am having exactly the same issue. Browse for the firmware and says that quickpawn does not update firmware. It seems the firmware has an extra "2_" at the star tof the file name or something. Please help !!!

Iphone 3G firmware 02.08.01 version 2.0.2(5C1) if i upgrate to 2.2.1 i will have problem with it ? sorry i am new on this thanks for helping

hello very smart people, i recently got a new iphone which was on a phone plan, and i got my old sim which is a prepaid and put it in the new iphone, and i jailbrocken with success, one thing the troubles me the most is that seeing that im on prepaid i get limited time on the 3g network unlike my old iphone that i bought from ebay that was also jailbrocken but that one had unlimited 3g access even when i had no credit on my sim card, please tell me how do i get unlimited 3g access plz. Currently my iphone is on FW iPhone1,2_2.2.1_5H11_Restore.ipsw and it is still locked onto optus network, do i need to unlock the iphone to get unlimited 3g access?

Hello guys, I need help!!! i had a 2.2 jailbroken /unlocked iphone. I had to do a factory setting ( restore) unfortunately after the restore the phone came with 02.30.03 firmware , 2.2.1( 5H11) version , thats how my phone is right now. ofcourse Ican not use it because yellowsnow does not unlocks this version. I read & heard different kinds of things and really dont know what to do. I definitely need help on this matter. Can somebody tell me or explain me how to make this phone 2.2 firmware with (5G77) version just like the way I bought it from the buyer. by the way which itune version should I have on my computer to do this precess? Thank you and look forward to hear from the nice people out there who can really help me. Thanks

Dude, I am in the same boat as you and have been requesting a reply for the poast 3 weeks but no luck as of now!!!! If u hear anything wud apppreciate yr help...pl. email me at virennarula@yahoo.com cheers,

Hi all, Pwned my iPhone 3G this morning, took bout 15-20mins & went without any problems, just had to re-sync my apps & iTunes afterwards as the re-store lost everything so make sure you do a back up first. I bought my iPhone unlocked - a genuine factory unlock which was network/carrier free in the UK so I think this helped.

I'm having problem extracting the zip file for the firmware when i extract it its giving me so many files and i dont see the file iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw can anyone help me with this please

I am having the same issue. Any help would be appreciated

i was having the same problem using safari and internet explorer. i downloaded mozilla firfox and then used firefox browser to download the file again. it worked fine

Do not use download accelerators, just right click the file and save link as... and select the folder to save.

Works perfect. This is the 1st time I jail broke an iphone and I did mines to see if it works and it does. no problems. just follow the onscreen guide and you should be find.

I am getting error[5] when started restore as per step 1 and now my iphone is in restore mode. Please let me know how to proceed.

Put the phone in dfu mode google how to. Also make sure u only connect your phone on a USB 2.0 which probably means one on the rear of your pc.u only needed to restore if it needs updating which I suspect it doesn't

hi i have iphone 3G and do jailbreak like say in this site but i have not any network in my phone plz help me

i have downloaded all that was ask of me after i accedently clicked on the restore button. i was originaly sim free but now i cannot get my phone working.when i put in the sim i was using it tells me to connect to itunes.... for what?? i do not now. any help. when i install the old sim that came with the phone i can see all my apps etc but have no signal.With my newer sim that i was able to use anywhere i am not allowed to see anything, can any one help please...

hi i do this for jailbreak but i now network with my sim plz help me

it's 3G

got an iphone with FW 2.2.1 and baseband 2.30.03 from a friend in canada...since i can't unlock it for now..i plan to have i jailbroken at least for now..but the jailbreak procedure says i need to connect it to itunes and select it..but then itunes can't even recognize it since it says insert valid sim without pin-lock to activate...but since i don't have the original sim...how can i jailbreak it if i can't even select it in itunes? please help..thanks..

Does no one read existing posts there is an unlock for 2.21 which involves Downgrading baseband go tutorials on this website. Other thing is put sim card in different phone to try and switch off sim lock.you don't need iTunes to unlock anyway the firmware is already installed

i thot you can't downgrade the baseband 2.30.03 if you're bootloader is already 5.9 so that's why my only intent is to jailbreak and not unlock it...however itunes can't recognize the phone if i don't have the valid sim ..so how do i bypass that?

Ignore iTunes go straight to quickpwn and jailbreak u only iTunes if u want to update first

Is it 2 or 3g

Dear James, I read the totorial to downgrade the baseband from2.30 to 2.28 but that needs cydia. This iphone does not even have that. To have that it shud be jailbroken and to jailbreak it shud downgrade. So u see it is a catch 22 situation for me. Please can u suggest something?? Cheers,

how do i track my entry?cant find replies to my previous entry

Anyone tried the baseband downgrade yet.it's meant to unlock 2.2.1

hello, i'm at step 12 (the last one).. it asks me to wait for the iphone to reboot.. and i waited.. the iphone keep buzzing and reboot but it only shows the apple logo..after 2-3 minutes, it will reboot again.. can someone point me out from this problem? thanks

i put off the cable and now it stucked at the apple logo.. do i need to redo all the process? thanks P/s : when i reconnect the cable, the computer detects it but the itunes dont

ah wrong information, actually when i reconnect the cable, it keep buzzing and reboot.. but still no luck.. it only displays the apple logo.

I dun see the retsore button .. so what i did : 1) start iTunes, connect iphone, 2) hold down power and home button until iPhone shuts down, keep home button pressed until iTunes sees an iPhone that needs to be restored.

i'm currently holding 3g iphone. can i use the above method to jb my phone which is currently on 2.2.1 and firmware 02.30.03? thanks.

No you cant right now only if you were on the 02.28 baseband 2.2 FW you will have to wait till dev team comes out with the new update soft unlock.

it seems what he meant is it possible to jailbreak it? with those step? and software? he doesnt want to unlock it. he just want to jailbreak it.. im on the same baseband also. so i cant jb also?

so means .. i have to wait for next version of Jailbreak come out.

u can jb right now no problems.Its the unlock thats not possible

Yes thats right you can JB but cant Unlock right now with the yellowsn0w i being waiting for the new update on how to unlock the 2.2.1 but no luck yet and i bought the stupid phenes on Feb 12 damn its being 2 month.

manny but when i jailbreak my iphone it doesnt show network.cant make or recieve calls. I just want to jailbreak my phone not unlock...

yeah you can JBbut you cant unlock yet..

but why is it not showing the network then??????

Are you sure this phone wasn't unlocked when you purchased it. If you are try the process again but follow the howto carefully.If it was unlocked when you purchased it you might have long wait for the unlock.

it wasn't unlocked but i can use it with my current operator without unlock. Only problrm after jail break is that i dont recieve network,,,,

Go settings/general/network/cellular data network and fill in the 3 lines. You will have to google the settings of your network provider

sitll no network.... help

Just restore in iTunes if u still have no network take back to apple

Just checking you have got network and 3g turned on

restored back to the apple orignal firmawawre now got the range n all

Make a note of cell data and do jail breake again

Ah your last comment gives some clues did you dl custom firmware? You should of used apples original firmware it is a lot less prone to errors u will have to google to find where it is stored on your pc this will work

Hi, I even face the same problem. No network after jaibreaking it. More over in Settling>General>Network it is showing only 3G, Data Roaming, VPN & Wifi. It is not showing any cellular data. Please someone help me.

Please Help, im stuck at step Ten, which putting the iPhone on recovery mode... instead of recovery mode i got this picture http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 anyone can help me please? i was getting the same problem on step two-three which is restoring the iphone to the supposed firmware, but i just log off and log on as computer administrator, and it worked, i succeded to restore the phone. but on step ten no matter what i do, i cant get to recovery mode. Please help.

make sure you only use usb socket on rear of pc. Some are only usb 1.0 and needs to be 2.0. failing that use a different pc
