If you are stuck at the purple screen, do these steps!!!

0) Click home to bring iPhone/iPod to Home page.
1) Go to Setting -> Airplane mode -> On (Not Important.. Just in case phone call when proceeding).
2) Double tap home button. (Bring up multitask mode)
3) Press and hold on Safari till vibrates.. Click on "-" to quit safari (in multitask mode)
3.1) Press Home button to close multitask mode.
4) Go to Setting -> Safari -> Cookies -> Always.
5) Clear all Cache n cookies.
6) Open Safari and go to jailbreakme.modmyi.com
7) If cannot, Repeat! (Sometimes Server still busy)

Let me know if these steps works?!
 
skeptical but worked on two phones right away! After 30 mins of messing around otherwise - thanks!
 
Can't quite follow these steps on a 3G without multitasking, and doing the steps that I can do doesn't fix the issue.
 
I found that you had to do the following:

  1. Close the tab in Safari of the jailbreak page
  2. Exit Safari
  3. Go to Settings -> Safari -> Accept Cookies
  4. change Accept Cookies to ALWAYS
  5. Go back one menu step and click on "Clear Cookies" and "Clear Cache"
  6. Go back into Safari and go to jailbreakme.modmyi.com
  7. Should work!

You did a great job by discovering the process and thank you for that but the problem with your instructions was the step regarding cookies. Your directions just said to choose "Accept" but that's confusing because the selection is "Accept Cookies" and then the choices are "Never", "Visited", or "Always".

I just cleared that up as when I was following your directions it wasn't really clear.

Also, there isn't really any reason to switch to Airplane mode, so I left that out. :)

Thank you though!
