Hey, guys!
I updated my iPhone 3G with the original FW 3.0. After that I downloaded a custom FW 3.0 for jailbreak, but iTunes gave me 1604 mistake. What did I wrong?
Hope for help!

This worked for me:

1.Install stock 3.0

3.After jailbreak iphone will be stuck on pink connect to itunes screen. Leave iphone on pink screen for next step.
4.Close quickpwn and open iTunes.
5.Shift+restore and select custom ipsw.
I have done this twice today and it is the only way i could get it to work with custom firmware. Good luck!
Note-This also works to downgrade to 2.2.1 only you have to install beta 2 or 3 after beta 5, then 2.2.1. If quickpwn doesn't recognize your phone for the 2.2.1 jailbreak unplug usb then plug it back in after you select firmware and it shows screen asking to ensure iphone is connected in itunes.
