I tried to install a ringtone on my iphone and the phone locked up. Tried multiple times to reboot the phone and it never rebooted. Here is what I have done:

Bought iphone on thursday, used i.unlock.no instructions to unlock and sim unlock the iphone. Worked perfectly until today.

Now I have used the recovery mode on the iphone to restore the 1.1.1 firmware (selected 1.1.1 using the shift key plus selecting the firmware).

Now the phone is back up and running but when following the i.unlock.no instructions and I goto jailbreakme.com the phone never reboots and I am still stuck at the connect to itunes to activate the phone.

I have my tmobile sim card in the phone not sure if that is a problem or not.

ANy help would be greatly appreciated. I am freaking out here because now my 400$ phone is a 400$ paperweight since I bought it to use with my tmobile :(

I have noticed that for any reason, if the iPhone is on the dock, the jailbreakme.com hack can't reboot the phone. Although I can't say if it happened all the time, I've noticed this last time I tried. Cause 2 times in a row the reboot failed. The third time I removed the phone from the dock and it went fine.

It is not on the dock but thanks for trying to help. Anyone else? Jailbreakme.com throws me back to the main activation screen just the iphone never reboots. :( Im freaking out here so any help at all would be appreciated.

Ok thank god I got it working. I went through the same steps from i.unlock.no and but this time i put the jailbreak website as:

http://jailbreakme.com

instead of

jailbreakme.com

I dont know if this was the problem but it is no unlocked, and my simunlock still is active. From now on I will be careful what I install. The item I was installing was the halo 3 ringtone program and that is when my entire iphone world came crashing down on me.

Hehe,

The way jailbreakme.com sends the packets to the phone is still a bit buggy and doesnt work correctly all the time.

It doesnat matter if you have the iPhone docked, use jailbreakme.com or http://jailbreakme.com or have a banana stuck up your ass when you do it, if all the packets dont make it tot he phone, it wont work!!

I had a phone i had to do it about 30 times before i got it to work!!

Bananna up the ass might hurt a bit but I understand what your saying about the packet thing. I am just happy as heck that it is working now :) Now I have to setup the phone like I had it before but at least I have a working phone... Whew!
