was at 2.2.1 tryed restoring from an older date at 2.2 still updated to 2.2.1

Worried I dont think I can JB 2.2.1? can I? trying to get my new 2.1 to 2.2 to JB.

Any ideas? TY

Also I dont care about unlocking phone/sim. If there is a diff. way? or can I JB 2.1?

THX SO MUCH

You can jailbreak 2.2.1 just fine. You just cant "unlock" it with YellowSn0w. That is, if its a 3g.

[djjessejames]

Thank you so much
'unlock just means i can use other carriers sims right?' YellowSn0w is a mac prog right? Sorry this is my 1st time I really really apreachate it

So I am on Vista what is "The proper way to jailbreak my 2.2.1 3G?"

Also what are the dangers in JB these days? can we fix it if we break it? lol
Thanks

[cpjr]

Yeah unlock means other carriers....and YellowSn0w runs on the iphone.

To jailbreak, just use Quickpwn. And its pretty much idiot proof, there is no way to permanently brick your phone using it.

I wish I knew more.
I feel so stupid on this form, useless...
Just am scared of messing my phone.

So if you are reading this please help me, I thank you over and over!

Thank you! where do i get info on quickpwn & doing this?

[cpjr]

Everybody starts somewhere

Just download and install "Quickpwn" (the newest version) and run it. You will need a copy of the firmware thats installed on your phone on your PC, which it probably already is if you loaded it on your phone from your PC. Quickpwn has a user friendly, simple, GUI....just follow what it tells you to do.

Sorry dont have a link in front of me, google quickpwn...much will come up. Also, check out our forum on it.

[djjessejames]

this one?
-QUICKPWN (Codename "Pwnmetheus") 2.2.5-2?

what about the iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore file?

both were on the page I hope I am suppost to follow on iClarified; iPhone How to Jailbreak Your 2.x.x 3G iPhone Using QuickPwn (Windows)

So follow those instructions on this website/page?

Oh and thank you for being so understanding with me

Also I am sorry but i dont understand this;
You will need a copy of the firmware thats installed on your phone on your PC, which it probably already is if you loaded it on your phone from your PC.
U mean when I restored this new phone to 2.2.1 with iTunes? SO SORRY...

[cpjr]

Yeah, iClarified has good guides.

The firmware file will be on your computer if you've ever restored to that firmware before.

If not, you can google it, I know there are links floating around to download it.

Edit: I see now the phone is new, so you'll need to google and download the firmware file.

[djjessejames]

See I dont quite understand, and thank u again. I had another iphone that is getting sent back synced to s/w 2.2.1, and that is what my new phone restored to just now.
It was just synced yesterday. So will I have the Firmware installed you were speaking of? TY

[cpjr]

You wont have to firmware just by syncing it.

You will only have the firmware if you downloaded and installed it onto the phone.

Otherwise, you'll have to google to get it.

[djjessejames]

no i restored it from a past backup of a new 3G s/w 2.2.1.
If that didnt do it what am I looking for f/w and how the heck do I apply it? TY

ok so I have restored and have s/w ver. 2.2.1 (5H11) and firmware 02.30.03
What next o great one?
