In your case, did you see the NEW universal jailbreak? You should try that instead of the old 5.6.5 jailbreak your description seems to imply.

I did not see the new universal jailbreak until you and knc1 mentioned it. I was previously on 5.8.1 and saw the DGA-1 post earlier today so I was following that. As stated, the downgrade and then manual update to 5.6.5 worked fine. It was only when I tried using the browser that things came to a stop.
I will do the downgrade again to factory settings, try the new method and report back later on. Thank you both for the prompt replies.
