I've tried QuickPwn atleast five times, and each time it says it was successful, but it always gets stuck on the Apple logo. What am I doing wrong, and how can I successfully jailbreak?

Upgrade to 2.2.1 and use this (http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/4689995/QuickPwn-225-2.zip.4689995.TPB.torrent). If you're a Mac user then use this (http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/4688431/QuickPwn_2.2.5.dmg.4688431.TPB.torrent).

The non-torrent download links are usually quicker. Otherwise, I agree, this should work.

Same problem here.
iPhone 3G 16GB. 2.2.1

Reboots and is stuck on Apple logo. I think it's a constant reboot issue because it will vibrate twice like it normally does when it boots.. but it will vibrate twice once every 3 minutes or so.

Those were the official programs from the Dev Team, which I always recommend people use. :)

I actually had the same problem, latest version of quickpwn on my 1st gen ipod touch with 2.2.1 firmware. I've tried it two times and both times it won't go past the apple boot logo after the jailbreak finishes. I've just restored back to normal for now, maybe there's a known issue.

Are you sure you had the latest version of QuickPwn? It's 2.2.5, not 2.2.1.

Yep, I'm sure. I was referring to my ipods firmware being 2.2.1. I've downloaded two different versions just in case. I'll probably give it one more try then put it off for a little while.

edit: Finally got it working. I restored back to apples 2.2.1 firmware. I then jailbroke it using 2.2.1 of quickpwn before syncing any of my music/apps and it worked.
