Jailbreaking iPhone 3G firmware 2.2.1

Suddenly my iPhone 3G dialer failed to function. It quits after a few seconds.

I cannot figure out why and how to solve it. I had SIAX (SIP/IAX compatible softphone), which comes with a dialer for cellular network besides IAX and SIP calls.

I used SIAX to call cellular, got connected, but cannot put down the phone.

Apparently the dialer app is really having big problem!! Hell!! I got a phone which I cannot call properly!!!

Have no choice, need to decide whether I should upgrade from 2.2 to 2.2.1 which I was not so keen due to several reasons. One being fear of some jail broken apps may fail to function. Apps like MySMS and SwirlyMMS are a few that I have paid and I do not want my investment to go down to the drain after upgraded.

OK. It is not really a pain updating my iPhone 3G to 2.2.1. iTune did the job without complaint.

Now is the critical time, jailbreak iphone 3G with firmware 2.2.1.

Following the instruction here, I have managed to jailbreak using my Macbook.

Since my iPhone 3G is officially unlocked, I have no problem upgrading to 2.2.1 and then jailbreak.

Everything seems to work fine, and it seems to run faster as well.
