oh dear - 3.0 on 2G mess

Hi guys

I was running a 2G iPhone 8GB on 2.2.1 via Quickpwn for windows. Was all nice, and I recently moved to O2 (iPhone carrier) in the UK on a SIM only deal (not an iPhone tarriff).

I got some advice that it would be OK to updade to 3.0 in iTunes, so I did. I now have the "unsupported SIM" message in iTunes, and the USB graphic on the phone. I know - I should have done better research - flame me.

Anyone know what my pathway back to 2.2.1 is, or the activation for 3.0?

I have iTunes 8.2 currently, but have found the old iTunes archives, and all the old iPhone firmwares.

I tried:
1. DFU mode and a Shift+Restore in iTunes but get Error 20.
2. Quickpwn 222-5 but it doesn't like the 3.0 FW. Refuses to restore an ealier FW.

Wait for off Pwn release. Should be very soon....

Many thanks for the help. I had trouble getting Quickpwn to put the phone into DFU mode, but was able to help it along manually.

Once that was done, all is back to normal.

Thanks again.
