firmware 2.1 is already Jailbroken, BigBoss comes up with a “Hard way” to jailbreak your iPhone 3G.

• Download the 2.1 3g firmware or 2g firmware.
• Install iTunes 8
• Update your iPhone to firmware 2.1 with iTunes and make sure it is activated
• Uninstall iTunes 8
• Uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support (From Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel)
• Install itunes v7.7. – you can find it here
• Download QuickPwn with the correct 2.1 bundle inside it here
• Run QuickPwn. Select the iPhone 3G 2.1 firmware that you downloaded in Step 1
• Select at least Cydia. You may also select Installer
• Once finished, your iPhone will reboot, which may take a few minutes. Cydia and Installer will not be visible on your springboard. Don’t panik! This is ok.
• Download TotalCommander and t-pot addon
• Install TotalCommander and in the left pane navigate to T-PoT.1.1.zip and click on it. It will install t-pot automatically
• Download the mobileinstallation patch
• Use Totalcommander to install the patched mobileinstallation file to /System/Library/PrivateFrameWorks/MobileInstallation.framework. Click on the dropdown box [-\-] top left and select network neighborhood then t-pot. Remember to back up your original mobileinstallation first!
• Still in TotalCommander delete /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist
