My buddy wants his 3G iPhone jailbroken, but he has already upgraded to the 2.2 firmware.

My question is if it will be alright to use PwnageTool starting from his stock 2.2 firmware or will I have to take extra steps like downgrading the phone to 2.1?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated guys (or gals).

Nope, you're good to go on 2.2 firmware. If you're going to actually use Pwnage and not Quickpwn, you'll have to restore again with your custom firmware, but that should be fine.

restore in itunes, go to the dev-team blog and follow the instructions. that's it.

^^^^ive seen this answer from you 3 times already. what a waste. and if your going to recomend things do it the right way. i assume from wanting to use pwnageTool that your on a mac. if so use the first guide. if your on windows use the second one. im posting quickpwn because that my recomendation to you.

i followed the directions but it just stays on preparing your iphone. am i supposed to wait til it tells me to put it in dfu mode

[Zwayne]

It will step you through putting the phone in dfu mode.

[scincade]

one last ? . do i need to restart itunes to make it pick up or just wait

[Zwayne]

It should start up....if not start it up manually.

[scincade]

well thanks but it just won't function properly

[Zwayne]

What's going on?

[scincade]

i start quickpwn and it takes me through everything right until it puts my phone in recovery mode. then it just stops and says please wait device is being prepared and it never starts the instructions. i tried to start it manually but it just stays there and does nothing.
