Let me save you a few iClarified plugs (we're already on your site, guys, come on): 1. Plug it in. 2. Press "Jailbreak". 3. Stare at a wall with the extra 2 minutes you have after not watching this.

I'v been waiting for the unthetered jailbreak and now that it's out, iTunes won't restore my iPhone, not sure why. I try to force B206 restore, but it won't restore B208 neither. Not sure what to do....
