OK, I am taking several deep breaths. I made it BACK to the holy land. The iPhone is re-unlocked, re-jailbroken. I think I myself might need to be jailbroken if I need to do this one more time, but that's another story. HOWEVER, what the f*ck caused this in the first place? Like I said, I was...

Ok, if nothing else I am adding to my post count. By the grace of a God I am sure does NOT exist, I found (in the trash of my Mom's laptop) a IPSW file that I used last time. RedSn0w recognized this (Praise NOT-GOD!). On my second attempt I was able to get Redsnow to accept the IPSW file and...

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! If this happens one more god damn time I am seriously going to kill myself. I can't take it anymore. I was fiddling around with a stupid dictionary, WeDict Pro, and online guides about how to get dictionaries onto it. I did all this SFTP **** through Terminal, and it actually...

To Cut.n.Pasted: I can't send this to you directly because I don't have stupid 15 posts to my name, and I don't feel like spamming another 9 posts on this board to get there, so below is a condensed version of what I would have sent you if I could: I wanted to thank you again for helping me...

Sweet Success!!!!!!!!! OMG IT WORKED!!! Cut.N.Pasted you are the MASTER OF THE iPHONE UNIVERSE!!! I would bow down to you, but it really hurts my knees. At first it was weird, it showed T-Mobile signal bars but no calls would go through. I called T-Mobile and turned off they phone, they reset...

OMG, I am SOOOOO CLOSE...please, Cut.n.Pasted, I am on step 6: "Add this source: repo666.ultrasn0w.com (not an "o" it's zero)." I did the "Update Essentials" part. Where do I add the "repo...." thing? Did that happen when I did "Update Essentials"? When I go to "Search" and enter...

OMG OMG OMG, I might be REALLY close...I've got a running pineapple logo, and it's loading....

OMG, that's fantastic, Cut'n'Pate, put I need you to clarify one thing: 2) Restore iPhone OS 3 factory settings -- I am on a Mac, OS 10.5.7. So I open iTunes, Option-Click "Restore" on the iPhone part, then select the file you linked, then let it run its course? But I downloaded the linked...

:rolleyes: Wow, good one, bro'!. You just kicked a cripple when he's down. Congrats, your trophy is on its way. Put it up on your mantle, next to all your accomplishments, see how nice it looks. :confused: Sheesh, no wonder I don't do message boards. :cool: On the other hand...emoticons are...

New Update: I have successfully gotten the phone BACK to 2.2.1 using PwnageTool 2.2.5 and the ispw for 2.2.1. I had to insert my AT&T SIM from my working iPhone 3G into the "new" not-working iPhone 3G, then used PwnageTool to option-restore it. Now it looks like a basic iPhone, except with the...

Follow-up Q's Hello, To CutnPaste and HHI944, thank you for HELPFUL responses. I didn't come on here to be "HA HA HA'd" at. But hey, if it makes you feel better to laugh at me because I made a mistake, go for it. I'm trying to get my mother a great phone without having to suffer through AT&T...

Hello, My name is Matt. I am severely disabled and have an iPhone on AT&T. I talked my Mom into buying an iPhone from eBay that was already unlocked for (after tax) about $800. I get it, set it up, works great. Make calls, goes on internet, great. Tried to download Shazaam, won't work, needs...
