@sonu, It's ok to restore to the latest version (i.e. 3.1.2) of iPhone OS. You can use blackra1n & blacksn0w for jailbreak and unlock. If you need further information, check out this jailbreak guide for details.

Hi Simon,

Need help urgently. jailbroke iphone 3g from firmware 2.2 to 3.0 and unlocked using ultrasnow, ever since been experiencing major battery problems. Location services, notifications, everything turned off. Been charging it for hours and hours, battery doesnt go above 10% charge, stays in red only. Then it depletes and turns off automatically while still plugged in then restarts automatically and keeps repeating cycle while never going above 10% charge. What should I do?

If i try to restore using Itunes, it says it will restore and update software, but will that cause iphone to become permanently locked?

Dear Simon,

I have tried with DFU mode as well but still it stucks at the end showing restoring FW. is there any hardware problem.
I tried to restore customs FW, it worked once but WiFi was not working and showing me flashing erreor while unlocking. that means it was locked and no WiFi.
When i tried with “iPhone1,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw” FW it gets stuck.
Can u help me,
also how can i remove flashing error 5 while restoring customs FW.

Regards,

Azim

@Azim, not too sure what goes wrong. But did you try to put your iPhone into DFU mode before restoring the firmware?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GREAT STEP BY STEP WALKTHROUGH!!

It worked so well for me!!

Soft I was using:

iTunes = 9.2
iPhone 2G 16GB / Software version 1.1.4

Only fault is I forgot to back up which I thought wasn’t a problem for me since all my contacts were on the sim card! Now it will not import my Sim contacts, still trying. The process couldn’t have erased my SIM as well could it??
