got all the way to the part in quickpwn where your supposed to hold home button for 5 sec

Your supposed to hold "Power" and "Home" buttons together. Did you do that?

Have you tried downloading quickpwn again. I had a version that didn't work right so I downloaded it again and then it worked great. Also, make sure that your iphone is plugged directly into your computers USB port and not a USB hub.

Well the 1st thing it asks for the 1st step is hold home button for 5 seconds

2nd is hold home AND power buttons for 10 seconds

3rd is release power and continue to hold home for 30 seconds

it wont even go to the 1st step:/

i have no idea why its doing this

it never has done this before

and hold both for ten seconds and then let go of the power but keep holding the home for ten

if you dont know that you have never jailbroken b4, its ok tho

also if you are using quickpwn it will guide you through it

try iClarified - Tutorials

that kid doent know what he's talking about

Are you using Mac or PC? If your using mac you could try using Pwnage. I like Pwnage better, I like adjusting the restore package to add sources and get rid of installer.

Get version 2.2.5-2 of Quickpwn directly from Quickpwn.com

Watch this video....
