iPhone 3g 3.1.2 Constant Problems

Hello, well I have been having alot of problems with my phone. First of all I started out by upgrading to 3.1.2 which I know was a stupid move, but I was a n00b. I found out that my 3.1.2 firmware could still be jailbroken, so I used redsn0w I had service for a week, I lost service and then the wifi said off and it was greyed out. My friend said that I should try blackra1n, I reset my phone settings and content and I restore the phone in itunes to 3.1.2. I know how to unlock the phone Blackrain -> Blacksn0w or Cydia ->Blackra1n source -> Blacksn0w.

Everytime I jailbreak my phone I lose wifi and my service comes and goes. (most of the time I have no service) Thing is I am using Tmobile so I cannot activate without hacktivation. I have tryed airplane mode, reseting network settings and turning off 3G/Bluetooth. Thanks

You don't have any options right now. Losing wifi is relatively common with blacksn0w (10-20% of blacksn0w users have this problem) and there is no fix.

If you have tmobile reception problems this is either a hardware problem with your phone or much more likely that you live in an area with poor reception for tmobile. Try the same sim in another phone and see if you have similar poor reception.
