Re: Just jailbroken - quick easy question

Trying a full restore now, noticed on the next page of the forum someone had the same problem.

Followed all the instructions and thought everything was working.

Couldn't install 'icy' though as Vista kept reporting that redsn0w.exe had stopped working. Finally worked around it after searching many forums.

Fingers crossed a restore will work, or I'll be avoiding jailbreaking again lol.

Gutted I'll lose everything though

Re: Just jailbroken - quick easy question

It seems no matter what I do (just tried Jailbreaking again) I can't get any network after Jailbreaking. Just says 'No Service'!

Any ideas?

From what I worked out, it won't activate through iTunes once it's finished rebooting.

Does everything work ok without the JB ?

Re: Just jailbroken - quick easy question

Yup, always been fine. This is the first time I've attempted to jailbreak, and it seems everything works fine apart from this 'no service' problem.
I've read quite a few similar problems on many forums now but can't find a solution.

Quite tempted to try pruplesn0w, then again I'm losing patience and might just leave it all together

Re: Just jailbroken - quick easy question

Which JB did you do ? I did mine through iclarified using Redsn0w and all is well.

Re: Just jailbroken - quick easy question

I'm following this one - Step-by-Step Guide to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS running iPhone OS 3.0 using Redsn0w (Windows) - iPhone Hacks

I think I may have found out the problem - because of the guide on that link! It tells you to install the 3.0 firmware by holding shift on the restore button on iTunes, where as on another guide it tells you to do nothing of the sort, so by doing this you have to re-activate. Does that make sense?

Re: Just jailbroken - quick easy question

Right... sixth time lucky?? Just finished Jailbreaking, and there is an o2 signal - 2 bars. See what happens when the restore had finished, if that is the fault!?


Sorry about this thread by the way.... leave you all in peace hopefully in a bit!!


EDIT:

Just restored, now syncing - still have that awful O2-UK at the top. Think I've done it!!!! Wooooo!!!!!!

Thanks all!!! haha

Hit the home button and power button at the same time (briefly). The screen will flash and your screengrab will be saved in your pictures folder
