If you are on MAC OS X 10.5.6 DFU mode will not work without modifying your USB files (everyone I read who tried it says not to) or using a powered USB 2.0 hub. Are you on 10.5.6? Have you tried a USB hub?

If you are and you don't have USB hub you can back up the phone on your mac and JB on another computer then sync back to the mac.

Yeah, definitely try not to have pages full of apps when you do it. JB does not like lots of apps.....

I think it's because QuickPwn/PwnageTool need the Phone to have a certain amount of space free, for when it flashes it and um... stuff :D Might be something else, not sure. Just have at least a couple of gigs free, and now loads of pages.

The best way to JB is probably to backup the Phone, restore, JB it, then put all your files back on.

Shift click restore with the custom IPA in iTunes (Cmd click on OSX).
