On my iPhone
:confused:I have been very successful in jailbreaking my 3g until this week. For the life of me I can't seem to get past the final step as seen here -http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1842

Step Fourteen
You will now be notified that QuickPwn is modifying your iPhone. The process will take some time and will cause the iPhone to reboot. Don't do anything until the process has completed!
Step Fifteen
Once your iPhone has rebooted it will be jailbroken and have both Cydia and Installer on the Springboard!

I get the message on my Mac for step 14 and see the iPhone flashing the data and then restarts. However it just hangs on the apple or pineapple logo. About every 3-4 minutes it vibrates but nothing happens. I have waiting 10, 20 minutes or more each time. Tried doing nothing, tried unplugging after 15 minutes and restarting but nothing is working and I end up having to restore in itunes.

Any ideas?
 
But it has happened 3 times of the 3 times I have tried it this week. That is the odd thing. Did they change the software recently? It worked when I did it the day it came out.
I had the same issues before, but then I tried to sync applications after I quickpwn as oppose to prior. Give that a shot, I think having applications on the phone run into issues with QuickPwn.

That was it, Thank you CocoaPuffs. I unsynced my apps, and the QuickPwn worked fast and perfect. Hopefully the Dev Team can get that little bug fixed for 2.2.
