I'm no fool!....jailbreak

  So I am trying to use the infamous app quickpwn to jailbreak my iPhone 3g. This app is chaotic. The first time i tried the app it was misleading because it said use firmware that is same version on phone. When i read this i thought ok it must mean the one itunes downloads. It does not mean this. It's even more misleading because when you browse for the modified firmware you're supposed to use the default folder is itunes - firmware. So it's not very intuitive. So after having tried to do the jailbreak this way it gets stuck in recovery mode. Then i restore from itunes with original settings from back up.
   Second time I try to jailbreak it i use the correct firmware and do the correct ocd sleep wake/ home combination in time interval sequence and it finally is processing and i see the jailbreak information processing on my phone. My thought at this point is success. No! The final process is wait for iPhone to reboot and configure jailbreak settings. I'm waiting for it to reboot, waiting, waiting. It does not reboot as it is stuck on the apple logo. I turn off the phone and try again it does not reboot. Apple does not even show an unknown iPhone that needs to be restored so we have a problem. Luckily, I'm not a moron and find work around for it through the quickpwn app and og firmware to enter recover mode and reenter itunes to restore once more. 
    After this experience I will not entertain the notion that jail breaking is fun, easy, practical or worth it. It's not practical at all, it's very misleading, The instructions do not suit the process at all. To say the least this application needs to be redone. I will not even bother to try jail breaking my phone again until a new application comes out that works and is not buggy. The application must have crashed like 8 times before it would move on to the next screen during installation. I am not impressed.
