I forgot to add, last night while trying to jailbreak the phone for the first time after deciding to re-flash, i received the cartoon image of Steve Jobs on iphone. Would that be some sort of hardwired lock-down and that's why I can't get it?
Thanks for all the help, I had an unlocked first generation Iphone version 1.1.4, I upgraded it to 2.1 and it relocked, even using Pwnage tool and Quickpwn to unlock it said carrier (null) (null). I upgraded to version 2.2 used Pwnage tool to jailbreak and bootneuter to unlock, it worked great and now im using ATT&T pay as you go with no contract. Thanks for all the help
