connect it to the computer
keep holding power/sleep and home buttons for about 25 secs ...(see a watch- might seem to be a lot of time)
hopefully it will wake up...

good luck....

Hy there.
Same thing here (seems so): got my 2.2 Pwnaged, but Cydia wasn't working. Therefore I ran QuickPwn and after following the steps to take the iPhone in DFU mode, it didn't wake up anymore. I waited quite a few minutes, nothing! I have my iPhone disconnected and it doesn't power up anymore!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Try connecting the phone to the PC & entering DFU mode.

Itunes should recognize the phone in recovery, then you can restore with 2.2 firmware and start the Quickpwn 2G process again

Well, I'm not on Windows.

My MacBook Aluminium doesn't take me into DFU mode with QuickPwn.

I simply want to get back my Cydia: is there any other way, instead of QuickPwn?
I've read about some SSH-ing, but how do I install SSH without having Cydia? Is there some similar app on AppStore?

Thanks so far...

Whats wrong with Cydia? Do you have installer?

DiskAid lets you access the phones root files without SSH but if Cydia has a permissions problem it doesn't allow you to correct that.
