Universal iPhone/iPod touch 3.1.2 Jailbreak Tool blackra1n for Windows Released

blackra1n

George Hotz, the man who brought you the jailbreak tool purplera1n, has once again impressed us all and this time it's an all iPhone 3.1.2 jailbreak only solution, blackra1n. Mac users need not apply as blackra1n is currently a Windows only application.

So, what is blackra1n? blackra1n is a 30 second ALL device 3.1.2 jailbreak. Even the ipt3, but the ipt3 is tethered. In order to boot it, just rerun blackra1n. As far as donations go, they are much appreciated, but not until after blackra1n works for you. I never ask for donations before the tool is released.

It should be noted that 3G and 3GS unlockers should still avoid updating to 3.1.2 using iTunes as blackra1n is not capable of unlocking your device. By updating you will update your firmware baseband to a version that can not be downgraded at this time. If you are looking to unlock you need to follow the Dev Teams tools and instructions.

TiPb takes no responsibility for your jailbreak outcome. Need help? Check out our iPhone Jailbreak and Unlock forum.

  1. Yatin says:

    Guys.. Please see comments 93,94,95 and 96. HELP !!! ;(

  2. ra1nman says:

    Iphone 3GS was on 3.0 firmware and report that... The Fuck this did not work! bricked my Iphone! just kept shutting down after to boot logo. had to update to 3.1 now I lost my tethering... Thanks allot Asshole! try writing some god dam compatibility instruction next time.

  3. Deepan says:

    Worked like a charm. 10secs. Or somewhere around there. 32gb 3gs. Upgraded from 3.0.1.

  4. Micky1701 says:

    I believe all I have read or viewed indicates you must be on 3.12 FW before doing the JB.

  5. Joe McG says:

    @Ra1nman

    it clearly states in multiple places that this only works for 3.1.2. Don't blame Geohot and all of his awesomeness for your inability to read.

  6. BBYM says:

    @ Joe: indeed!

  7. Installed, ran and jailbroken! It's that simple.

    iPhone 3GS white 16gig - woot!! 3.1 - prolly will do 3.12 later today.

  8. P-rick says:

    Read the damn tutorial on ihackintosh.com remember to reboot ur device once after updating and then run blackra1n it does work . U guys just can't read

  9. DustinAe says:

    I have 3gs 32 gig 3.1.2 and it took literally 5 seconds. Make sure iTunes isnt running. Connect phone make it rain reboot phone

    That simple. Works great no probs.

  10. ChurchBurner says:

    35 seconds and i am jailbroken. The worst part about it is seeing george's mug on my screen for half a minute.

    But anyway, How does this not work for everyone. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

    Run Prog. Click Make it rain. Plug in iphone to usb. Jailbroken after reboot.

    To everyone having problems. This is my first time jailbreaking and I had no problems. What's your excuse?

  11. t0m says:

    What JB apps are people having problems with? Thus far I've read AppSync and Winterboard. Anything else not working with 3.1.2?

  12. Joe McG says:

    Winterboard works fine for me on 3gs. I've seen a few places where it isn't working on 3g.

  13. CoolJoe says:

    best thing ive ever done!! i love my new jb and hope geohot releases more blackra1n!!

  14. Garbage says:

    Jail breaking sucks. Someone always trying to get one over on a company no matter what. I jailbroke my old 3G last year it was garbage it's still unstable garbage. Anyone that trusts their $300 phone to an OS made by a teenager is an idiot. Hands down.

  15. shollomon says:

    JB 2 #GS running 3.1.2 last night, no problem. I've got adblock and winterboard back and I'm happy. Battery usage seems about the same as before JB, but I haven't been using the phone heavily.

  16. Joe McG says:

    Apparently Garbage doesn't really understand what jailbreaking is/does.

    I will agree with Garbage on one thing though. Jailbreaking on the 3G does make it laggy. It is perfect on the 3GS though!

    __Garbage

  17. Joe McG says:

    Call me crazy, but my battery life seems better after blackrain. I'm just sayin.

  18. John says:

    I had a few various issues (post jailbreak) like winterboard not working, etc, UNTIL I restored, and installed cydia FIRST. Then all seems to work.

    Just my 2 cents.

  19. Gino from the Bronx says:

    @Ra1nman good for you buddy! Why would you ever update when jailbreak 3.0 is working flawlessly? What improvements have apple made in 3.1.2 that you felt forced to lose a working JB phone, upgrade and try jb'ing all over again? I laugh at fools like you!

  20. t0m says:

    Anyone have issues with AppSync?

  21. Gino from the Bronx says:

    Purplera1n was one of the greatest innovations I've ever seen!!! Period. I even donated to the guy because I couldn't believe it was that easy.

    As for me, I'm still rocking 3.0 on my 3GS and not chancing an upgrade when my 3.0 jailbreak (from purplera1n) is working flawlessly.

    I will continue to use 3.0 until Apple really makes it where I have to have the new OS. Until then, why upgrade? I laugh at people that did and lost all there JB. Luckily now, blackra1n has arrived.

    I agree with 3G 3.0 was indeed very laggy when jailbroken through the dev team. This was actually what encourged me to go out and get a 3GS. The 3GS on purplera1n works great with zero lag.

    As for the battery life: be wary of what apps you install from cydia. Blackra1n/purplera1n doesn't affect your battery. It's certain apps you install from cydia that may reduce battery life.

  22. DoubleDown ¡ says:

    Best Jailbreaker Program EVER !¡!¡!

  23. ButtChew says:

    The trick is to open iTunes, then run blackra1n. Worked instantly for me after doing this.

    1) Plug in iPhone via USB cable 2) Launch iTunes and minimize it 3) Run Blackra1n 4) Click the "make it rain" button 5) iTunes will give an error box, press 'ok' 6) Wait for the retarded pic and reboot

  24. ButtChew says:

    @ra1nman: You are a moron. Learn to read you incompetent 12 year old. Blackra1n is only for firmware 3.1.2, it says it EVERYWHERE. It's no ones fault but your own that you tried it on FW v3.0, idiot.

  25. dave says:

    There has been a little discrepancy regarding the exact process.. it took a few tries and a little research, but here are the exact steps to Jailbreak your 3.1.2 iPhone or iPod touch via blackra1n jailbreak by geoHot RC1 - http://ping.fm/5knkP

  26. OMG UR ALL IDIOTS

    JUST MAKE SURE YOU RESTORE TO A OLD BACK-UP THAT ISNT A BACK-UP FROM WHEN YOUR IPHONE WAS JAILBROKEN. UR AN IDIOT IF EVEN DO UR BACK UPS WHEN UR PHONE IS JAILBROKEN. EVEN THOUGH U HAVE A PHONE THAT ISNT JAILBROKEN.... SOME PARTS OF THE JAILBREAK WILL REMAIN ON THE PHONE VIA THE BACK-UP, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE NEXT UPGRADE TO NO FUNCTION PROPERLY. IF U DO NOT HAVE A REALLY OLD BACK-UP OR ONE THAT WASNT MADE WHEN UR PHONE WAS JAILBROKEN U MAY HAVE TO JUST "START A NEW PHONE" BUT REMEMBER AS ALWAYS.... WRITE DOWN ANY NEW PHONE NUMBERS YOU GET OR ANYTHING IMPORTANT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW. YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER EVER RELY ON COMPUTERS TO HOLD ALL YOUR INFORMATION. THEY ARE MACHINES AND DO BREAK.

  27. HondaRacer says:

    For those who still are having problems running blackra1n make sure you downloaded the program using firefox. I don't know why but it works when downloaded from firefox. I tried multiple times after I downloaded the program using google chrome. I gave up untill some one said use firefox to download and it worked. So if you tried this way of jb and it got stuck in recovery mode then download firefox then download blackra1n then run it.

  28. Kenny says:

    To all people who fail to jb use blackra1n 1- your iphone is working phone (locked or unlocked does not matter) if it stuck at any stage, u have to restore to fresh os before jb 2- turn off iphone - open itunes (the iphone does not conect to pc at this time) 3- while iphone is off conect to pc the phone will auto turn on( itunes will ask for active or whatever just egnore any message from iTunes) 4- now itunes and iphone can communicate ( all jb software alway borrow conect line between iphone and itunes) 5- now run blackra1n and let it run by itseft do not hit any button until iphone complete jb ( about less than 30s) It works for iPhone 3gs 3.1 3gs 3.1.2 and 1g 3.1 ( if you firmware 5.11.07 you jb and install cydia. That's all it can do for now. Now you can install cydia. It can not unlock iPhone , or install app through pcsuite or iphonebrowser , just cydia my system : pc win vista sp2 iPhone : 1g os 3.01 / 3gs os 3.1.2 / 3g os 3.1 all test 100% work

  29. ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!!!

    If you phone had been previously jailbroken, you may still have data on your phone that will prevent you from doing this update.

    EXAMPLE:

    i had downloaded "Extended Preferences" from Cydia. In that program I changed where it says AT&T at the top so it would say NATE. Now when 3.1 came out i accidentally upgraded and lost my jailbreak, BUT my name NATE was still at the top, even though i had no cydia or anything and my cracked apps wouldnt work.

    So i am saying even though you cant see it you may have a corrupted file or just something that will prevent you running Blackra1n correctly.

    Like i said in my previous listing..... restore from a back-up from when your phone wasn't jailbroken or just start a new phone and start from scratch.

    And remember as always.... Be your own computer.....

    WRITE DOWN ANY NEW PHONE NUMBERS YOU GET OR ANYTHING IMPORTANT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW. YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER EVER RELY ON COMPUTERS TO HOLD ALL YOUR INFORMATION. THEY ARE MACHINES AND DO BREAK

    Thanks Everyone

  32. help says:

    can som please help me. i have used blackrain om my iphone 3gs. igot the application in my mobile when i insert a another simcard the iphone doesn't read it can som one help me please

  33. t0m says:

    @help

    Read. If you upgraded to anything higher than 3.0.1 through an official iTunes update, your baseband is updated and cannot be unlocked (as of yet).

    @everyone else with dumb questions.

    If you cannot handle the process of reading everything about something, you probably shouldn't do it. Restore your phone and go back to unjailbroken life. You clearly do not have the mental capacity to handle this jailbreak process.

    It works. If it doesn't work for you, YOU are doing something wrong. Not the program. The code doesn't change. The enduser does.

  34. t0m says:

    @NeedHelpBadly

    Restore your phone. If you can, restore to backup. If not, start fresh.

    If you don't know what I'm talking about, google is your friend.

  35. help says:

    i mean a link stupid donkeys

  36. fhb says:

    Hi to all, turn off the Bonjour service if you ar using the latest version of itunes and the jailbreak works fine in less than a minute!! Cheers

  37. Stasplaya44 says:

    Has anyone found that Winterboard doesn't work with Blackra1n?

  38. Stasplaya44 says:

    Cydelete, Fiverow and dock don't work, statusnotifier doesn't work either? Are they not compatible with 3.1.2

  39. Kenny says:

    Blackra1n Is not "completely" jb like other tool from dev-team. You'll find some apps does not work. Geohotz does the job fast not best dev-team does better job but too slow

  40. idev says:

    HI, i have iphone 3g 3.1.2 and i did everything as said.. but its not happening..after clicking make it rain it jus shows running and geting me more qrious and you know what happens to iphone ppl whn something goes wrong,so all that is happening dude and that guy whtever pic. doens’t appear.. have no idea what to do..can anyone help..?

  41. John says:

    HEy, Stasplaya44

    Try restoring (I know pain in the ...) then re ra1n, then install only cydia. Then winterboard. That worked for me. Seems like cydia needs to be installed 1st.

  42. Stasplaya44 says:

    John.... thanks ill give it try

  43. Seven says:

    http://www.ithinkdiff.com/fixing-issues-with-ipod-touch-3-1-2-blackra1n-jailbreak/

    this is for everyone who has problems jailbreaking ipod touch 3g.

    BlackRa1n works 100% on all other models both iphone and ipod. I've just confirmed it but before made a full restore and setting it up as a new phone then JB then backup restore.

  44. Stasplaya44 says:

    Has anyone got unknown error 13 on their phone?

  45. ReBecc says:

    HEY.

    I've been doing some research and here are some things I've learned: - Blackra1n works amazing for most people. - The ipt3g 8gig is apparently NOT supported. Geohotz was not aware that there was an 8gig. - If you are trying to jailbreak any of the other ipod/phones and it still isn't working, do some good old fashioned Google searching and plenty of people have posted detailed instructions on how to fix your problems. - I have not been able to jailbreak my ipt3g 8gig, but just wait a bit longer for Greenpois0n. I personally am not go to hop on the train to brick town tonight.

  46. Mike says:

    I'm on an iPhone 3GS, and I swear I've tried every strategy on 10 million different pages, and I keep getting stuck on "entering recovery." I never see dude's face, just the itunes and USB cord. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I've did a shift+restore with the .ispw saved on my computer. I killed the itunes related processes/services. I put the phone in airplane mode. I've hit "make it rain" while standing upside down with my thumb in my mouth. None of this s**t works. I don't get what's going on.

  47. Mike says:

    Edit: Randomly, I decided to NOT check the box for Windows compatibility to XP Service Pack 2. It said to do it, I didn't check the box at all, and it worked. I'm on Vista 64.

  48. David says:

    All of you assholes who keep saying to read the fucking instructions, shut the fuck up. Just because it worked for you doesn't mean it's working for a lot of us (who can read and follow simple instructions) including me. I have a 3GS, 3.1.2, 32GB, iTunes 9 and I have tried everything as well. Obviously something is going on. Tried on multiple computers every way possible. And also, some of you say leave iTunes open, some say close it. I've tried everything. When I make it rain it reboots the phone and says connect to iTunes forever. I can't reset it into DFU or anything. A lot of others are having the exact same problem. But anyways, yes asshole, we can read and we're not idiots.

  49. Ian says:

    This might not work for everyone the first time. It might in some cases take more than one attempt just no mater how many times you restart your iPhone leave it plugged in the computer. I did the 3.1.2 upgrade through iTunes and had to hold down the home and power/standby button and let go after it turns off and not wait for the logo to let go of the buttons and then engaged the "make it rain" button and worked after a few different attempts.....but that's just me..

  50. Kenny says:

    to David every iphone / pc are difference when you fail jb the first time your file system already broken. you need to restore to the fresh os -> put att simcard in the phone let itunes go to active page -> so iphone can fuction (not at emergency screen) -> reboot iphone once time -> run blackra1n i hope this have (i did like this with my 3gs 3.1 , it works. after that i upgrade to 3.1.2 and did same thing, it works again)

  51. BossDon. says:

    It works. I jb mine in ten seconds. My iPhone was preinstalled with 3.1. Vista 32 bit, iTunes 9, and firefox to download. Doesn't play great with the 3g as easy though. George is the truth at doing what he does. Wasn't he one of the first to jb the 3g? Stop all the hating. Use it or don't. What does it matter? Read and research if you have a issue and then post your questions if there's no answer. Some of you "post not read" dumb asses make use have more shit to read asking the same question over and over.

  52. Yatin says:

    Any comments about 2G Ipod touch 3.1.2 peeps? I installed blackra1n but after shutting down and restarting it asks me to connect to iTunes

  53. Eli says:

    I have notice that blackra1n works better with 3gs Iphones than 3g.I have a 3g and so far blackr1n has not worked

  54. lugo901 says:

    blackrain is not installing into my phone. is thre any way that u can help me and try to fix this problem..i really need some help with this thanks. contact me please.

  55. BossDon. says:

    It seems to work flawlessly with 3gs but you have to work out 3g. I did my gf 3g like stated in the earlier post and it worked.

  56. Eli says:

    OKAY fianlly got it. before i was getting the whole itunes plug thing... until i moved the downloaded blackra1n to my c/ folder.

  57. Mike says:

    OK I want to get the new 3.1.2 OS and I'm thinking of using blackra1n to do it, but what I want to know is since I already have JB apps that have data I would like to keep. Is there any way/app that does a backup of apps and data so that they can be restored after upgrade and JB I know that AptBackup and AppBackup just store a list of your apps to reinstall, but I don't think they get your data.

  58. Yatin says:

    Must I follow the same process like people do with their 3g ipod touch? Please help !!! :(

  59. Yatin says:

    Eli ..what device and version do you have? ipod touch or iphone?

  60. Jim says:

    OK, I have a iPod 2G 16GB. This is what I did (worked flawlessly):

    1. Downloaded blackra1n.exe to C: Drive.
    2. Connected iPod.
    3. Closed iTunes when it appeared.
    4. Executed blackra1n.exe and clicked "make it ra1n".
    5. Observed the photo of the developer and followed screen prompts.
    6. After final boot (closed iTunes again) I disconnected the iPod from the USB cable.
    7. Ran the blackra1n app on the iPod and installed Cydia.
    8. All apps from Cydia work fine, winterboard works fine, SBsettings, Makeitmine, etc.

    Cheers.

  61. Jim says:

    Forgot to add, I also have the newest version of iTunes and FW 3.1.2.

    Good luck.

  62. Jen says:

    Updated to 3.1.2 have 16gb 3g blackra1n did not work for me had to restore 4 times . Closed iTunes stuck in recovery until I just had to restore I'm on windows xp ran blackra1n in sp2 mode made it rain then got stuck on in recovery screen. When I tried again it was stuck again in recovery when I held down home and power I did not see geos face just recovery screen from iTunes. On my last attempt it claimed it was done but my phone was still in recovery mode. So now im back at stock apps on my phone lost my jailbreak and am not at all happy! Any suggestions :(

  63. Eli says:

    Yatin i have a 8gig 3g iphone

  64. Yatin says:

    Thanx a lot Jim.. i will attempt your process in an hour.. if it doesn't work, I'm going to pull the hair out of my head !!!!!

  65. someguyinsg says:

    works perfectly on factory unlock 3gs iphone. i dont much about iphones or computers and did it in less than 2 min. dont think there is anything to worry about if jb-ing is all u need.

  66. BossDon. says:

    I downloaded my iPhone 3.1.2 update from somewhere else using firefox. When it was done I installed it through iTunes and updated my I.

  67. Yatin says:

    Guys.. Do I have to install Cydia via wi-fi?

  68. BossDon. says:

    When u run blackra1n after it installs on ur I. It should be an option

  69. Yatin says:

    I don't have wi fi yet..please help me out..what should I look for to install using my cable internet?

  70. BossDon. says:

    You should be able to install using 3g. I used it instead of wifi. Does blackrain app load on your phone. The app should be on ur phone.

  71. Yatin says:

    Does ipod touch have 3g? Yes..I do have blackra1n on my ipod touch but I can't shut down. If I shut down then I need to connect to a pc and run blackra1n again.

  72. BossDon. says:

    No it doesn't. You would need wifi then.

  73. Yatin says:

    Okay! Thank you kindly for your time and help ;)

    I will try again when I have my wi-fi set up .. for now i will just enjoy my music and music videos ;)

  74. idev says:

    still no luck dude..tried everything..i have 3g 3.1.2..so damn badly want to JB..blood is cumin out of my ass now..wht to do ppl.. whtever i do..that geohot boot logo is not coming at all..seen million vid. n tried everything..so damn tired..but anywayz still tryin..if anyone can help then plz..

  75. October says:

    i cant seem to open blackra1n after i download it.. i keep getting the "blackra1n.exe-Entry Point not found" message : The procedure entry point sqlite3preparev2 could not be lovated in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.:: If anyone knows how i can fix this please get back to me :)

  76. Jonsky says:

    I have a iPhone 3GS 32gb which came with 3.1OTB and is still running 3.1.

    I'm assuming that if I update to 3.1.2 in iTunes all of my apps and contacts will remain on the phone.

    If I then run blackra1n will all the stuff already on the phone stay on it, or do you end up with a fully reset phone with blackra1n installed on it?

    Thanks

  77. shollomon says:

    @Jonsky

    Sync phone making sure you have transferred all purchase you made on your phone to iTunes (that's just a precaution). Upgrade to 3.1.2, all aps and contacts will be fine. Sync again. Then run blackra1n. All aps and contacts will still be fine. Done in that order the worst that can happen is that you have to restore the phone.

  78. Estimados, antes de hacer su Jailbreake con este programa, por favor lean este Blog, http://iphonedechile.blogspot.com/ Saludos desde Santiago de Chile

  79. CT63366 says:

    I TRIED ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS, ALL USER COMMENTS, 2 DIFFERENT PC'S WITH DIFFERENT OPERATING SYSTEMS AND STILL NOTHING BUT STUCK RECOVERIES.. 3G, 3.1.2.. MY MODEM FIRMWARE IS 05.11.07 DONT KNOW IF THATS A KNOWN ISSUE..THIS WAS JAILBROKEN ON 3.0 UNTIL THE ITUNES UPGRADE TO 3.1.2, MAYBE THAT HOSED SOMETHING UP ON THE PHONE..

  80. Jen says:

    FINALLY Got it Cydia here i come . What i did was put blackrain in my c file uncheck all the boxes under compatibility mode uncheck all of the compatibility options and then run it it should work . My next question is can you install rock your iphone and cydia at the same time with no conflict? or should it be one or the other ?

  81. t0m says:

    Weirdest thing happened on my second phone, blackra1n was telling me it was successful and I could use all my cracked apps, but had no Cydia installed. Got nervous when I went to restore as new phone and got error 13, but figured it was from closing down apple processes. Rebooted, restored as new to 3.1.2 and jailbroke. Everything works fine. Appsync, SBSettings, Backgrounder (froze on install but works after reboot).

    If you have an issue, just restore and re-do. That's the best advice I can give after successfully doing 2 3gs.

  82. Ozzie says:

    Hey fellas, here's what I did. I have an iPhone 3G 16G v3.1.2 on Vista x64. 1) Start off with a fresh restore. 2) Uninstall iTunes, Bonjour, and Apple software update only. 3) Reboot PC. 4) Install blackra1n as per usual instructions.

    Worked for me. Good luck! :)

  83. Emerald says:

    I have an Ipod touch 2G running on 3.1.2 and I didn't use a pwnage tool on it before nor have I jailbroken it before. Will blackra1n work?

  84. Emerald says:
    • note: I have Windows vista running as admin and the iPod Touch is 8GB
  85. Kenny says:

    To everyone

    forget blackra1n. Try new pwnage 3.1.4 from devteam Go to funkymonkeyspace.com for instruction I never try but I trust devteam better

  86. kacie says:

    i'm not gonna go through every one of these posts to try and find the answer to my question... sorry. ever since i did the jailbreak, i have no service or internet connection. anyone else have this problem?

  87. dave says:

    I posted th EXACT STEPS yesterday, but here it is again.. rephrased..

    @everyone follow the steps on my site EXACTLY and you will be good to go, but you have to do the exact button hold/release sequence/timing as this IS KEY. Here is the site: http://ping.fm/5knkP

    Mine didn’t work and was doing the same as you guys until I did the exact sequence of holding both buttons, then releasing the powerbutton when the apple logo appeared while still holding the home button, then releasing the home button after the GeoHot background appears. If you do the exact steps, in order listed above, you should have no problem.

  88. chamorro says:

    my 32GB 3GS is dead. tried to jailbreak it and got as far as the picture of Frodo. I stared at Frodo for over an hour. Now my phone doesnt respond to anything. It won't go into recovery mode, itunes wont detect it, windows won't detect it. And yes, it was fully charged before trying to jailbreak.

    Any solutions?

  89. chamorro says:

    One more thing, I jailbroke my old 16gig iphone 3g just before attempting on my 3GS...

  90. blackra1n sucks says:

    i used blackra1n and my phone froze for 3 hours i DO NOT reccommend using this program

  91. CrazyMike says:

    GREAT! Ive noticed small things with BLACKRA1N.

    1. Battery Life decreased by 8.7%
    2. E-Mail Connects twice and sometimes does not download.
    3. ROCK IS A HELL OF A LOT BETTER THAN CYDIA!

    OH, IF YOUR PHONE FROZE UP, YOUR A D.A. FOR NOT READING BLOGS AND WATCHING VIDEOS

  92. Ben says:

    @Everyone Geohotz (George Hotz) was the first person to unlock & jb an iPhone first gen so being all like "HURR WAIT FOR DEV-TEAM DONT TRUST THIS GUY LAWL" is pretty damn stupid. ;) http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/ Read up. ;) Also, blackra1n works fine if you're not a complete fuckwit. <3

  93. Kenny says:

    To Ben

    the first does not mean the best. You should ask yourseft why you do use redsn0w to jb your iPhone ? Why you need ultrasn0w to unlock ?

    Hey everyone with a 16GB 3G 3.1.2 having problems with Geo not showing up listen. I have been doing this for 6 hours today and finally got it to work by repeating this a bunch of times.

    So, I just Jailbroke my Iphone 3.1.2 16GB 3G. What I did was actually told to me by Ikheafe so thanks to him.

    Plug up your iPhone Close iTunes Turn your Iphone 3g OFF Run BlackRa1n click make it ra1n Hold down power and home As soon as you see the Apple logo release power BUT HOLD HOME for at least 20 seconds

    Do not release home earlier than 20 seconds or until you see GeoHot appear on your Iphone.

    (If this doesn't work then try again, hold down the power and home until your phone shuts off. Close BlackRa1n and try again. As they say rinse, wash, repeat.)

    Once you’ve done that, you should have a pop-up on your computer saying Jailbreak is done. Wait for the phone to reboot. Once the phone reboots you will see Blackra1n icon on your phone.

    Hope it helps you like it did me!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I jailbroke my 3gs 3.1.2 on vista ultimate with black ra1n and installed winterboard first thing after cydia and got frozen on the apple screen after reboot. I had to hold power and home till the flash and let go of power to make my iTunes restore my phone.

  99. Woodgrainw20s says:

    Not hard to do but a pain, and winterboard is my main reason to jail break. Not his problem but pisses me off that there wasn't a warning for me without having to search for it.
