I have Iphone 3G 8gb jailbroke/unlocked modem firmware 04.26.08 (7A341)

Hello Everyone,

I purchased a 3g 8gb iphone that has been unlocked/jailbroken.I have had the phone for 4 days,,and have had to do literally about 20 hard starts due to freezing up,,or losing all sound.

when i recieve a text message.i will read the message,,then hit edit,,and iphone freezes,,i will do a hard start,,then it works until i go to contacts and try to update some email contact info,,all of a sudden it will freeze up,,i do a hard start,,and sometimes it will restart,,but then at the slide to unlock screen,,it will lock up,,i then do another hard start,,and then i can get to the home page.

also a couple days ago,,i never recieved an important call,because i didnt realize that my sounds were not working,,no ringtones demo,,no itunes,,no speakerphone,,no sound whatsoever,,so i did a hardstart,,nothing no sound,,i then did the headphone trick jiggling it,,and reinserting it a bunch of times,,nothing,,then i blew into the jack in case of dirt,,nothing no sound again,,I then did 1 more hard start,,and sure enough slide to unlock produced that click sound,,then went to speakerphone,,now all of a sudden ive got sound again.

this is driving me crazy,,Can anybody give me any advice.The functions of the phone all work when its not freezing up,,and i really like the phone,,but im wondering,,if i undo the jailbreak,,but leave it unlocked so i can keep using my tmobile sim card,,would that work?. I really only need a couple iphone apps,text,,and incoming/outgoing calls only,,but Im not ready to give up yet,,i have version 3.0,,but i dont know what firmware? im new to this iphone instability stuff

Please Help,,and sorry for writing so much,,just trying to explain whats happening exactly

Thanks again

People on this forum will more than likely suggest you remove the jailbreak and restore the phone as new. Use it for a couple of days and see if that works out the freezing and sound issues. I believe you can unlock the device without jailbreaking, but I am not sure.

I am on AT&T and have no need to jailbreak, so maybe someone else can help you out with that.

your going to have to restore the phone an unlock and jailbreak again. I AM SORRY FOR YOUR MISFORTUNE, but, trying to use the phone on another network and with unapproved software does come with risks. it seems most people have no problems and your phone just happens to be one of the ones that does. the Jailbreak section of these forums are full of wizkids that can guide you in the right direction. Good Luck!

I would do a restore from iTunes. But then again I am unsure how to proceede since your jailbroken.

Went to the "M" last night for their pool party. Good times!

Happy labor day!
