[markology101]

can someone help me through this matter:

1. my iphone 3g can't detect wi-fi while am downloading.
2. i went ot MAC center to inititially diagnose my iphone.. they said that the problem probably is software due to the iphoen has IP address but can'detect wi-fi signals
3. the technician recommended me to restore my iphone then jailbreak

my questions are:
1. what is the best jailbreak app? and a thorough guide please. am using Vista Home Edition in my laptop
2. can i update to OS 3.1 using itunes? what would be the expected outcome during and after update?..


thank you.

The tech told you to restore and re jailbreak?!? Where the hell is that apple store lol

you need to update to 3.1.2 and use blackra1n...

Just google "unlock 3g blackra1n" you'll find dozens of guides

[Chevyman209]

yeah just restore to the 3.1.2 apple firmware then use blackra1n

am using firmware a lower version than 3.1.2
is it necessary to restore it first to check for the wifi issue then update it to 3.1.2?

thank you.

I would recommend the pwnagetool instead of blackra1n it is more stable

[markology101]

another thing..

so, i will RESTORE first to resolve Wi-Fi issue?

then update to 3.1.2

then use blackra1n

is that ok?..

A restore will update you to 3.1.2 at the same time which should fix your WIFI issues. Then use blackra1n to jailbreak.

@cpthk - pwnage tool is Mac only. If you read his post he is a Vista user.

i have read from

Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone 3.1.2 Firmware on Windows | Redmond Pie

which features PwnageTool 3.1.4 for windows.

does iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Custom_Restore is the same as: iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw

i guess i have to stick to blackra1n because Pwnage seems to be complicated for me.

thanks.

[Poseidon79]

Regardless of what that guide says. Pwnage Tool is Mac only. Pwnage Tool builds the jailbreak into a "custom" firmware. Things can get complicated with activation though so best to restore to the stock firmware... activate with iTunes.. then jailbreak with blackra1n.

[markology101]

thanks for the help..

i'll update you what would the outcome be.

I have a windows pc but I use costum firmware made from pwnage so yes you can use and I haven't had any of the problems people have been saying they have with blackra1n and wifi and reception. I also did not make the f/w my self I downloaded from YouTube and works fine

And I found the firmwares un actavaited and actavaited so you don't need to do it with iTunes

[markology101]

i have updated my firmware to 3.1.2 but it did not resolve the wifi issue and when i use blackra1n, it hanged up. displaying the itunes icon and the usb pointing upward..

i restart the phone. still the phone is displaying such icons.

the i restore it to the original settings erasing all media and data..

no solution to the wifi issue.

help me please.
