Jailbreak iPhone 2.1
Do you want to Jailbreak iPhone 2.1? Well, now you can! Unfortunately it’s not an easy process as it was with the iPod Touch which was completely GUI based. You will need to carefully follow the below instructions to jailbreak your iPhone 2.1. This tutorial also works for the iPhone 3G.
You must install iTunes 8 first, so if you don’t have iTunes 8 download or update to it right now.
If you’re using an iPhone, you must download iPhone 2.1 firmware using the below link:

If you’re using an iPhone 3G, download iPhone 3G 2.1 firmware using the below link:
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/061-5198.20080909.K3294/iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw
1. Open iTunes 8, and update to iPhone firmware 2.1.
2. After you’re upgraded to firmware 2.1, uninstall iTunes 8.0, and install iTunes 7.7.* from the download link here:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/
3. Click –> Download the jailbreak from the downloads page <–, or use any of these mirrors if this link doesn’t work:
4. Run the .exe file and browse and select your iPhone 2.1 firmware.
5. Follow the on-screen steps, choose Installer and Cydia.
6. Once finished, your iPhone will reboot, but Installer and Cydia won’t be visible.
7. Reboot your iPhone, and Installer & Cydia should show up!

You’re using an out-dated version of QuickPWN. Download it from http://www.quickpwn.com/downloads.

after the last step it says to reboot your iphone. How long is it suppose to take? Cause mine is just a gray screen. help!
how long is it suppose to stay at the grey screen until its done rebooting? Mine has taken a long time and still is like that.
ok i followed all the instructions and now MY PHONE WONT START! help?
I downloaded jailbreak and everything seemed to work. But, I can’t make phone calls. I click on the phone icon and it sits there for a few seconds and then goes back to my home screen. How do I fix this?

Guys, follow the instructions. It works exactly as described. The only “fucking tards” in here are those who can’t read.
