I have successfully jailbroken my old 3G once and have jailbroken my iphone 4, however I restored my old 3G before I gave it to a friend. I have since tried to jailbreak it for her, however it is just not working.

The 3G is now running 4.1. I tried greenpois0n which didn't work at all, so I tried limera1n. When trying limera1n, I am able to get the phone into DFU mode, but then I get an message that pops up in itunes saying this phone must be restored before it can be used with itunes. When trying to restore, I get an error 2001 and the phone gets stuck in recovery mode. I tried recboot and tiny umbrella to kick out of recovery mode and neither worked. I had to actually plug the phone into another computer to get it to restore.

Any ideas on why this is giving me so many problems and/or how to successfully jailbreak without errors? Thanks
