Make sure u take both files in AddressBook folder and its the correct path as in /private/var/mobile/library/addressbook and not /private/var/root/library/addressbook.

Yes ... just copy and paste back after restore. Make sure the permission is correct or u'll face a problem like 1 forumer did in iphone club (where he can't edit his contacts).

Aik ... sudah tukar ka?

Lesson for the day

"Don't do any jailbreaking at 2.30 am or something silly will happen"

@beemer
1. Depends on the situation on using pwnage or quickpwn. If u are at the latest firmware then it would be wise just to use quickpwn. Quickpwn will only jailbreak your phone as in opening the system for 3rd party apps like Cydia/Installer. It's roughly a 5 mins job if you do it properly. Pwnage on the other hand can create a custom (not customer) firmware containing cydia/installer, not updating the baseband, changing the boot logo and so on. So next time if you restore with the custom firmware, you no need to go thru the jailbreaking stuff again. It will be done in the custom firmware.

Regarding Cydia vs Installer, yes few of us found that Installer 4 is a bit unstable (and unpopular nowadays). You have the choice to pick both of just one of it in bot pwnage and quickpwn. There is no such thing that quickpwn will install both and can't choose. You can browse thru iclarified to see how the interface or how both program works as an extra homework.

2. Custom firmware is a modified version of the original firmware that include custom boot logo, cydia/installer, jailbreak etc. So if you need to restore your phone, just use the custom firmware and everything will be done for you. No need to restore with original firmware and jailbreak with quickpwn.

3. Depends on why it failed but i think all of us did not face any fail JB. If you did encounter that (touchwood), u can restore back and use quickpwn to JB or use the custom firmware that you created in pwnage tool to restore. It's up to the user actually.

Hope that answer your questions.

The answer also too long so take long time to reply.

@Rinyuu
Maybe becoz you're using the wrong firmware as stated in pwnagetool?

iPhone1,1_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw firmware is for 1st generation iphone. If yours is the 2nd generation as in iPhone 3G then it should be iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw. The warning is sooooo obvious as it state that you are using the wrong firmware bundle.

@Rinyuu
Where did u download the firmware? Apple webpage as in here?

Try to put the pwnagetool in a folder on the desktop and with that firmware.

Added on January 21, 2009, 1:59 amp/s - make sure the file size is 245.6 MB for the firmware.

I'm using pwnagetool 2.2.1 in 10.5.6 and did not face any problem. Maybe u want to try downloading the firmware again and make sure the size it correct. From the looks of it, yours failed the file(hash) check.

BTW ... you want to make a custom firmware or just jailbreak? If just jailbreak then why not use Quickpwn?

That should be correct. The pwnagetool itself maybe the culprit?

@squarefight
Which generation of iPhone is yours? That info can help in determining the problem.

White colour and it's from UK. It's iPhone 3G and it's a locked set. U must use yellowsn0w to unlock it. How to use yellowsn0w, there's a thread discussing about it. It's a simple process.

@squarefight
Did you read the first page? Obviously u didn't.

Please make some effort to read the pinned thread. It's there for a reason and we don't encourage spoon feeding here. No serving on a silver plater. And if you really don't understand .... here's a really simple guide to follow http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=2538

Still don't understand that? Then u might need to contact hanxz for some premium service.

Just some minor bug fixes.

Why want to fix something thats not broken? The 2g baseband don't have any issues so it does not warrant for any updates. Even if they do upgrade the baseband, iphone 2g are pwned at every level.

Added on January 28, 2009, 11:58 amHahahaha true true. I just spent 2 days of the CNY break to restore and customize everything back. But the speed gain and no crashes are worth it.

Looks like a dead strip to me. It's the LCD problem and the only way to rectify it is to replace the whole LCD. I got one phone with that problem also.
