everything worked up until i got to the screen where you put it in dfu mode. It was stuck on the first part of the page, whatever that was. something about preparing your iphone for recovery mode. i basically have the same problem as “rusty”. any assistance would be much appreciated. i am re-restoring my iphone, then i’m going to try again, but if that doesn’t work, then i don’t know what to do.

Vinay,

I’ve already jailbroken my iphone to version 2.2 earlier on this year.

Is there anything that I need to do before I jailbreak to version 2.2.1 ? … without loosing my data, regualar or jailbroken apps.

note: I have not yet upgraded my Iphone to firmware 2.2.1

Well, after another failed attempt, I managed to get it to work. Here’s what I did:

When I realised the phone would not boot after the Jailbreak process finished, I put it in DFU mode.
Then I waited for Itunes to restore it.
Instead of restoring to my backup, I went through the Jailbreak process again, following the instructions to the letter.
This time I left the option to replace boot logo selected.
The Jailbreak process finished and the phone booted fine.

I Then restored to my backup via itunes, and the re-synced with my libary/applications/etc in Itunes.

Now I have my exact same Iphone with all my apps and songs, but now it’s Jailbroken and I have custom tones

BTW here is a great tutorial for those who have JailBroken:

Hi Vinay

So I was able to restore my Iphone (3G 2.2.1) and had another go at Jailbreaking it using your instructions.
The exact same thing happened, all went fine up until it rebooted at the end. The Apple logo stayed on the screen, and the phone would not boot. The phone will vibrate every 3 minutes or so, for a few times, then reboot again.

Is it something to do with the boot loaders?

Perhaps my Iphone is not compatible with Quickpwn?

Should I downgrade to 2.2 and try again?

Thanks for any comments in advance.
