Hey everyone, I did the blackra1n Jailbreak on my iphone 3gs which had the 3.1.2 version. This iphone is only 1 week old. It can jailbreak fine and install Cydia etc but everytime I reboot the phone it goes into safe mode (usb & itunes logo) In order to turn it on as a jailbroken phone I have to run the Blackra1n everytime. Obviously 1 option is to never turn the phone off but is there another work around?

I have a 3g jb with blackrain and my battery is almost non existant. I have sb settings to turn wifi and ssh off but still get about 3 hours. It's a joke. Any help or advice? Thanks in advance.

Anyone else noticing very bad battery since update/JB? I did it from a restore to new.

BTW, all Apple stores have the new baseband version of 5.11.07 on their replacement aka "refurb" 3GS models. So if you are thinking of replacing your iPhone to get another shiny clean start (we all do it...) or for any other reason, think twice before you do a restore. You could be possibly bricking your device from an unlock until a version of 3.1.2 is available via Blackra1n.

You can unlock and jailbreak a 3GS running 3.1 firmware but the baseband cannot be updated to the newest version which is 5.11.07

Alas, this is the version on my 3GS, so I can only jailbreak at the momemnt because I'm on T-Mobile. So all I have is a glorified iPod Touch.

I did the blackrain RC1 on a month old 3gs, works great. Except i get an error in cydia cause I installed both cydia, rock and icy through the blackrain app that appeared on my phone after jailbreaking...this RC2 version should fix this - but will it swipe/delete all my installed apps and configurations if I use the blackrain on top of an already jailbroken phone?

Also, will it automatically give me the 3.1.2 or will it still have the 3.1 as it has currently? (i had to jailbreak cause my iphone died when updating to 3.1.2. via iTunes

Just re-jailbroke. Definitely worth it. Waited for blackra1n before I went to 3.1.2. It's too bad apple won't make some of these features native. Might be a big deciding factor when it's time get a new phone.

Top reasons to jailbreak:

SBSettings irealsms (quickreply SMS msgs) 3G Unrestrictor (voice over 3g) HapticPro (tactile feedback for each keystroke) Winterboard Backgrounder (for use with Pandora) MXTube (save YouTube videos)

Title of this story: ... and Unlock Update. Content of the story: The Devteam is working on it.

Nice way to give people reading the title false hope. Obviously the Devteam is working on it. How is that an update?

I have 3.1.2 and jailbroke with no issues. Clicked one button, 20 seconds layer it was done. Easy.

So does this mean it's possible to unlock a 3gs with 3.1?

By: Philip

Philip — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:12:58 +0000

@RonJ1986 thanks, but I don't have the option for Cellular network under my network settings? Regardless, I disabled the themes that I was running and voila, I have my voicemail again.

So now, do I update to 3.1.2 and the blackra1n rc2?

I just jailbroke and I'm new to this. Cydia is installed and so is backgrounder, what apps out there make jailbreaking worth it? What other features if any make it worth it?

@tora im not sure but i think that it didn't work on some 3g models...

By: Tora

What are the 3g fixes exactly? It's pretty vague.

By: cardfan

A little confusion with his wording. One site i saw said it fixed some 3G network issues. Others say he means iphone 3G issues.

I'm saying a prayer that this works for me now. I had no success with the previous version.

Ok, so I have a jb phone on 3.0.1...if I want to jb I first update to 3.1.2 (is that what we are on?)? Then I can run blakra1n rc2? I'd this correct?

I wasn't updating because I was happy with everything, but I stopped receiving my voicemail.

I want to say it was yesterday. Even so, if everything is working fine for you there is no reason to re-jailbreak with this release.

By: jglowe74

jglowe74 — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:49:57 +0000

any idea on the specific date this went out? reason i ask is because i just re-JB with blackra1n yesterday, and all seems well. is there a way i can check to see if my blackra1n is the RC2 version? it's working great for me, either way.
