Thanks for that. I never did it that way before. Just plugged it into the mac and ituned it. Probably why its borked. I'll let you know how I get on.
Right so. I took all your good advice and DFU'd and used Ilibertyx and..... so far so good! Wifi is showing full signal and not dropping the link! Apologies for the exclamation marks. just happy it's all working. Of course if it falls down in an hour I'll be here whining again. Just put me on ignore
Tnx again really appreciate the help.
OK it worked well for a while so I installed a few apps, summerboard, vwallpaper, boss prefs, fring. Now it's back to the way it was again. So maybe it's one of the third party apps?
OK new bigger problem. I tried to restore the phone a second time after it stared acting up. It restores alright but when I try to run iliberty it just sits there at "preparing jailbreak". So have I bricked it or is there a way around this?
