First of all lets be clear that this method will only work for iPhone 3G with bootloader version 5.08 (5.8)! Otherwise, you can consider this.
You can quickly check your bootloader version by using TinyUmbrella. It should show your bootloader version right away. Alternatively, you can also use f0recast. The screenshot below shows an iPhone 3G with bootloader version 5.9.
Lets get straight to business!
