I have tried jailbreak on my 3gs and it cant even read the Sim card or network.What to do guys?
I gave it out and I think a guy updated it and it crashed the OS.

You can never brick an iphone...the ios is hardwired in the cpu chip... Easy to recover. Just go to itunes, plug in the phone and let it restore the latest ios, in this case 4.1. Once done, download limera1n, and enjoy the jailbreak and unlock!! Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Another question, to jailbreak is it the same as unlocking the phone so as to use it on any diserable network or does it mean enabling the phone to multitask, record video and the likes... an kinda confused?  If i showed you where i live, you would think that i was hiding.

Word of advise @Mwariama, Backup your iphone before you start doing anything. Incase anything goes wrong, you can restore from back up..... @PuthyKrasha - it will enable you use third party apps if am not wrong.

an iphone cannot be bricked or disabled permanently. You can always plug it to itunes and restore it to stock firmware Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Jalibreaking is allowing yourself to use apps not necessarily from itunes (i.e freeing yourself from Jobs' field of distortion!!!). Unlocking is allowing your phone to work with any sim card. Both different. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

@k22 i aint interested in apps i want it unlocked. i know of a place along Tomboya street where i can get it done for 1500/- i thought i could get it done for cheap... i aint a cheapskate.. but why would some1 charge me 200 ksh to unlock any other phone but charge me 1500 to unlock an i phone yet the applications used are readily available on the net... If i showed you where i live, you would think that i was hiding.

@PuthyKrasha - it will enable you use third party apps if am not wrong. If the iphone is already in a loop of death, dont bother backing up...the bug will be saved and will be back once you restore the backup. Just do a clean restore...and enjoy the best selling smartphone on the planet!!! Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

They charge more coz the iphone isn't any other phone..you cannot compare those bricks from Nokia to this product...the os is decades ahead...

@PuthyKrasha, where did you buy your iphone, locally or US? Am also looking to upgrade mine (1G) which has given loud hints that it may be dying on me soon...... but the prices being quoted around here in Nbi are ridiculous for a refurbished iphone 3G yawa...
