@corey,

You mentioned you can find Cydia on home screen, right? If yes, your iPhone has been successfully jailbroken. You can just launch cydia and start downloading Cydia applications.

If you are on the iphone 3g 2.2.1, and you can’t get past the apple logo upon completion, restore your iphone by opening itunes, then hold down the Home button for 5 seconds, then hold the power button until it turns off. Let go of just the power button, then press the power button again while still holding the Home button and iTunes will eventually recognize that it’s in “Restore Mode” and you can restore from backup. (If you have one). This will take a while.

The following may apply to you… if you want to give jailbreaking another shot.
Now to attempt QuickPWN again, realize that they left out the first step in the program directions. Open iTunes, click on your phone on the left, hold the shift button down, and click the Restore button. This will open a file browser where you can select the newly downloaded iPhone1,2_2.2.1_5H11_Restore.ipsw. Restore to this file. This is an important step because it starts the iphone from scratch. When it prompts to restore service to the phone click yes. Then, open QuickPWN and browse to the same Restore file. When running QuickPWN 2.2.5 or 2.2.1 it will close iTunes. This is okay, don’t worry about it. When it gets to the third step and asks you to hold down for 30 seconds, really hold down for 30 seconds. Don’t let go when it moves down to the next process. Still count down from where it leaves off to zero, then let go. Let it do it’s thing. You should only have to wait about a couple of minutes for it to finish completely. If it sits on the apple or pineapple logo for more than 5 minutes it didn’t work and try again.

@chir, to unlock firmware 2.2.1 on iPhone 3g, you have to downgrade the baseband from 2.30.03 to 2.28.00. You can use 3G Fuzzyband downgrader to downgrade the baseband and then follow this guide to jailbreak.

I’m getting the same problem as Shal, device has connected in wrong mode. This phone is one a friend got, and wanted me to jailbreak. I did mine and it took all of 5 minutes to do, so I don’t think I doing the steps wrong. If anybody has had this problem and was able to get around it, please let me know. Thanks the help.
