I would first upgrade to 4.3.3, then use Redsn0w RC16 to jailbreak. Just Google Redsn0w RC16, and download whatever version you need, depending on wether you are on Mac OSX or Windows. The process itself is pretty straight-forward and is explained step-by-step on the Redsn0w software itself. Good Luck.

Majesty are you a member of the KGB, CIA or similar? This looks like a secret hidden identity. Did you get your decoder ring from a Cracker Jack box or from oldturkey? Lord knows most of his links come from the Eastern Block.

+ Good answer. You still have close to 10K by what I am seeing, 9.7k. I understand your frustration, with the politics here. Some people fart and get voted up. Others give accurate answers that get bypassed for points by those that farted. Most of the voters do not understand the dynamics of the system(s) they are calling good answers. They are just voting up because they like the person.

iPhone 3G does not have a firmware called 4.3.3, the last firmware for it is 4.2.1. You can jailbreak it with www.jailbreakme.com
