I followed the instructions word for word. I downgraded to 1.0.2, the baseband as well, then revirginized my phone. All seemed to work well. I then upgraded to 1.1.1, but it happened to keep my old info on the phone. I tried doing carnaval, and it unlocked it, but it didn't install installer. I kept trying to do carnval, about 4 times. It didn't work so i switched to jailbreakme.com. That didn't work either, and it just sent my phone to the silver apple logo for quite some time. Now the phone doesn't even turn on. OMG i think im done! PLEASE EVERYONE HELP ME, ANYONE!!! MY EMAIL IS E_ASUNCION124@YAHOO.COM

PLEASE HELP!

i know its pretty late at night already....hey daylight savings time! I saved an hour. I'm really stressed out about this and I fear for the worst. I didn't know that this would be such a stressful thing. I beg you guys for some help just to get back into the springboard. From there i just want to downgrade and leave me at 1.0.2 where I shoudla left it in the first place.

Have you tried putting the phone into restore mode? If your phone has power, we should be able to salvage it

.

PM me your MSN or something - maybe we can go through it step-by-step..

Yes, leave it plugged in to juice it up for while. Launch itunes. Then hold home and standby for all you are worth (while plugged in), until prompted to restore by itunes.

ok...so I tunes does prompt you to restore your phone? So did you direct it to a 1.0.2 firmware file? If the phone is restore mode, you won't see anything on your screen - it will seem like it's off...

i'm about to do so right now.....I "charged" the phone and went to sleep. I woke up, and tried to power it on, still does the same thing. Just hangs on the apple screen logo. It does however after some time, vibrate or makes sounds like the power on screen sound. I'm going to try to plug it in to the comp now.

All right, i did the restore process, im a little calm now. It didn't do this last night, probably because I was half a sleep at 4 in the morning, its now 10 am where I'm at. However, it didn't show the triangle. It showed the USB plug and the itunes logo. Is that bad?

All right, whew, i'm at the screen where it says "activate your iphone" slide for emergency calls only. SHOULD i restore from here? or did i do it wrong, i'm searching the forums right now for the "It showed me the sync cable and itunes logo" instead of the triangle.

EDIT

Okay, NOW i tried another restore, this time holding the power button untill the screen goes blank and then letting going and holding the home button. This time, no "sync cable and itunes logo" showed, but it was left dark and itunes picked it up putting it into restore mode. Am I doing well so far!? Help!

EDIT

I'm trying to jailbreak 1.1.1 using the carnaval method. Right now it's hanging on the step where i connect to the second website. What am i doing wrong, or is it that the webstie is down?

EDIT

It now says this....
WE HAVE A PROBLEM Houston!!!
It seems your jailbreak attempt has failed!
You probably weren't able to download the jailbreak URL <jailbreak.toc2rta.com>
Although the URL I provided is the official one, some times it goes off-line.

You must try to do the above steps again. Sometime it takes more than one time. If you don't pass the check CARNAVAL won't work. If this problem happens again, try finding a mirror for thejailrbreak url.

I got this last night as well! HELP!
