This File Is pwnageTool Jailbroken As To The Above Guide
IT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED, USE AT OWN RISK.
In Theory It Should Jailbreak Any iPhone3G, Maybe Some Windows Users Can Try

File Just Needs To Be Unzipped

Unfortunately My iphone *still* will not progress past the apple logo screen after jailbreaking. Followed ALL instructions, and used the orig. firmware posted here on the forums, but unfortunately still had zero luck. Any ideas? seems to be stuck in an endless reboot cycle, as it flashes, and the apple logo comes back every 20 minutes or so

*edit* also your link to the custom firmware requires a password...if you didnt already know that

After reveiving an sms saying Network Unlocked please backup data and restore in iTunes, I did. After restoring my 3g iPhone it was Networked Unlocked.
Last night I decided to Jailbreak it and followed the steps in this thread using Pwnage Tool. The iPhone is now Jailbroken and it is still Networked Unlocked.

Hi guys
I have a little problem. I followed the instructions to jailbreak my 3g Iphone, everything went perfectly, till Itunes said your Iphone will be powered on or something like that and detected by Itunes. Well my phone is just hanging with an apple logo continually flashing on and off. Has anybody any suggestions. I think it is stuck in restore mode.
Any help appreciated.

Hold down the power button to reboot the phone, disconnect from the computer. If this does not work you will need to hold the power button and home button and put it back into DFU mode then do a restore via I tunes. You can then start the whole process again

Yes I have done this and can restore back to apple legit firmware, but it wont jailbreak.

bean · #50 (**permalink**) 25th July 2008, 07:39 PM

What guide are you following? I used the I Clarified Guide iClarified - Apple News and Tutorials and downloaded all the software from the I phone dev teams site
blog.iphone-dev.org This way I was sure of getting the right files. If you follow this you should not have an issue

dinoo · #51 (**permalink**) 25th July 2008, 09:22 PM

Ok, downloaded the ispw, and it is a zip, and extracts it. When I get into pwnage it doesn't let me select it. =S What am i doing wrong?

Don't worry, all good.

bean · #52 (**permalink**) 25th July 2008, 09:26 PM

You are not following the guides you have downloaded using Safari it tells you to use Firefox and then it will not be zipped

dinoo · #53 (**permalink**) 25th July 2008, 09:27 PM

Yeah, realised, went searching thrugh the trsh can and found the zip.

Now am compiling.

Just wondering, how do I get all those apps onto the phone, like NES etc?

bean · #54 (**permalink**) 25th July 2008, 09:32 PM

to be honest I do not no why you are jailbreaking the 3g phone as installer is no longer supported and Cydia has nothing on it apart from ssh which will allow you to shift things across. The only plus I can see is that it will allow you to drop another sim in if overseas. Others may have a different view point and this is just my personal view point

dinoo · #55 (**permalink**) 25th July 2008, 09:50 PM

Ok, jailbroken, but I can get onto the Optus network? Did I fuck up?

bean · #56 (**permalink**) 25th July 2008, 09:55 PM

You are not making sense you say you can get into optus so what is the problem? Or do you mean you can not. Did you leave the sim in why you did the jail break? Are you using a Mac or PC?

dinoo · #57 (**permalink**) 25th July 2008, 09:58 PM

Left sim in while doing jailbreak. Mac. I cannot get to Optus network, but can unlock my SIM. Shit.

bean · #58 (**permalink**) 25th July 2008, 10:06 PM

sorry run out of ideas, I would need more information as I can not understand how you can unlock the sim. Jail breaking unlocks the phone so amost any sim can be used. Did you have error messages?

dinoo · #59 (**permalink**) 25th July 2008, 10:08 PM

None at all. I am on a 3G. Installed the Jailbreak, but now cannot make a call. I am using the phone though, apart from calling, text and 3G. I am doing a restore now. Lets hope it works. Im shitting bricks, I knew this was a bad idea. If only I saw your advise before i started.
