So encouraged by the messages and faqs here, I started to JB my 3G. Got winpwn 2.5 built the custom ipsw and everything. Then it tried to put me in DFU - during the process, windows usb detected 'Apple in DFU mode' but winpwn kept saying it did not succeed.
Then I closed winpwn and opened iTunes where it detected the iPhone in restore mode (screen was black) so I did shift-restore and selected my custom ipsw (700MB partition). Here I got a 1601 error.
Tried this a few times and gave up - so I decided to restore with the original ipsw but kept getting a 1601 there as well.
Thought I was 'stuck in DFU', but holding the power and home button caused the device to restart normally.
So not jailbreaked for now but was wondering if I did something wrong or missed something (something needs to be 'pwned' before I can restore a custom ipsw?)
Thanks for your help in advance.
