I have the original 8GB 2G 1.1 or 1.2 firmware?? ( i upgraded the firmware once from the time i bought it) jailbroken and unlocked using a T-mobile sim. Today, I attempted to install the iphone 3.0 firmware per instructions above. I installed the latest itunes software which was 9.0, however, I did not update my iphone with my MAC per these intructions, "Next plug in your iPhone and makes sure iTunes syncs the data on it. iTunes will then tell you that an iPhone update is available, go ahead and apply the update." The reason being was that the latest available update from Apple is now 3.1 and from what I was reading, the Redsn0w will not work for this yet...and I didn't know how to download the old 3.0 to my phone. Anyway, aside from this I followed all the directions using Redsn0w .72 and I keep getting the itunes and USB icon on the iphone now. I tried this several times and even tried the Redsn0w .8 software. I only selected the CYDIA and UNLOCK options. What can I do?? Help please!! Help!!! I have the original 8GB 2G 1.1 or 1.2 firmware??

I don't know why you are seeing the behavior you are with the 3.0 guide though. Are you sure you aren't trying to install the latest firmware (3.1)? That cannot be cracked yet, which would explain the behavior you are seeing.

You can, but don’t upgrade to 3.1 — there isn’t a known unlock/crack for it yet. So if you are on a 3GS, which I believe already runs 3.0, just stay put.

The SIMS down here never worked and now I just gave up. I am using my iphone for everything except calling so at least I wanted to have the new updates like cut & paste and decided to risk my unlocked status but therefore get the new software on my phone. Well that was stupid because the system asks me now to insert the SIM (the original, working one from the States - ATT) which I don't have anymore. My phone is basically useless now - Any ideas how I can rescue it and at least use it for everything except making calls? THANKS for any hints I have an unlocked iPhone and live in Panama.

However, you CAN unlock using OS 3.0 with the guide above. Stay tuned for an updated guide for 3.1 and above. Correct, you should NOT upgrade to 3.1 at this time if you are with Tmobile.

You will NOT be able to do this if you have updated you phone to 3.1, there is no crack as of right now for 3.1 and you cannot revert. Things to try that have helped me: Reboot the computer, right click and run redsn0w "as administrator", make sure the ipsw is from a trustworthy source (i prefer http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/), make sure your antivirus is disabled....Your mileage will var, the iphone-dev blog is hard at work working on the new crack.

And does redsn0w restore the 3.0 firmware, even though you've had 3.0.1 on it, so that when it's finished updating, you've got 3.0 on your iPhone, and not 3.0.1?
