Ok so iv'e been jailbreaking iphones for a while.
I have an iphone 3g that was probably running 3.1.3 when i got it.
Iv'e tried to update it directly through itunes, but always get an error 1601.
Basically same thing that happens when I use redsnow to jailbreak it. (put in dfu, the phone reboots once, and then the usb disconnects from the computer leaving me hanging)
Ive used iReb to put it in pwned dfu but nothing same exact thing.
Iv'e tried another computer but it was also a windows 7 system.
ive tried snowbreeze custom firmwares, tried pretty much everything I could find. not sure if it could be hardware, maybe battery or dock connector, but this is just so frustrating.
I also have tiny umbrella installed not sure if maybe thats messing some stuff up with the set hosts to cydia option because that messed up my iphone 4.

Help would be appreciated
