  This guide is to walk you through on how to Jailbreak your iPhone 3g, iPhone, iPod touch 2g and 1st g firmware. PERSONALLY TESTED AND IT WORKS VERY WELL.
  
  
  Start off, I'm on PC, not Mac, for Mac guide, wait till I get my Mac in the future :)
  
  1. Open iTunes 8, and update to iPhone firmware 2.1. If you already have firmware 2.1, you may skip this step.
  
  2. After you're upgraded to firmware 2.1, uninstall iTunes 8.0, and install iTunes 7.7.* from the download link here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/
  
  3. Click -->Download QuickPWN iPhone 2.1 Jailbreak <--, or use any of these mirrors if this link doesn't work:
  Mirror 1, Mirror 2
  
  4. Run the QuickPWN-GUI.exe file and browse and select your iPhone 2.1 firmware.
  
  5. Follow the on-screen steps, choose Installer and Cydia.
  
  6. Once finished, your iPhone will reboot, but Installer and Cydia won't be visible.
  
  7. Download & Install DiskAid from here:
  http://www.digidna.net/downloads/download.php?product=DiskAid&version=1.5&sys=win
  
  8. Connect your iPhone via USB to your computer and launch the DiskAID program.
  
  9. When the DiskAid screen launches, you'll see a drop-down box on the bottom left that says "Media Folder. Click on it, and select "Root Folder" instead.
  
  10. You'll get a Root Partition message, just click ok.
  
  11. On the left side, scroll down and click the System folder. Now double-click the Library Folder. Scroll down and double-click the "PrivateFrameworks" folder.
  
  12. On the right side, scroll down and click on the MobileInstallation.framework folder.
  
  13. Select the MobileInstallation file, and click "Delete from Device".
  
  13. Download the new MobileInstallation patch from http://www.sendspace.com/file/pcrxy6
  
  14. In DiskAid, click "Copy File to Device", and select the MobileInstallation file you downloaded.
  
  15. After you've copied the MobileInstallation file, reboot your iPhone and you should see a jailbreaked iPhone 2.1 now! Enjoy.
  
  16. Very important step here, the final step, connect your usb cable to your device use DiskAid again and find the file com.apple.mobile.installation.plist and delete it. The file is located at /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist. Once you did that, unplug the cable and reboot the device. After reboot, you are able to see Cydia and Installer.
  
  Enjoy!
