I have tried to jailbreak my iphone and I am failing terribly!

I upgraded to 1.1.1 and my phone is unlocked thanks to IPSF BUT I can't get past this stage from the Devteam WIKI:

------------------------------------------------------------
* We are now going to overwrite part of the disk partition with our payload using the 2K file included in this distribution called rdisk0s1. In iphuc, execute this command:

putjailbreak rdisk0s1 /dev/rdisk0s1

* The upload should be relatively quick. Once finished, reboot your iPhone. You're now in read-write mode, and jail broken! You can test this by connecting again with iphuc after rebooting and running:

getfile /etc/fstab fstab

Open the file, and you should see the options for / to be 'rw' instead of 'ro'. If you still see 'ro', then something's gone wrong, restart your iPhone normally and then try again, it should work this time.

NOTE: iTunes will now recognize and activate the phone.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I can get the fstab and it show /rw BUT iTunes is NOT activating my phone in any way whatsoever!

If I connect it to iTunes it tells me that its no AT&T and won't activate me lol

I have been reliably informed that my phone is not bricked we just need to get it activated so if anyone can explain to me how to make it work I would appreciate it greatly.

Either way I will leave it like this until I figure it out or a GUI is released as its not worth going back to 1.0.2 now I will just wait it out!

But if anyone successfully pulled it off or can help me please let me know in the thread or PM me. Thanks.
