All iPhone 3.1.2 Jailbreak Tool blackra1n for Windows Released

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.
<
blockquote>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.

-
Good stuff. Turns out appuloha1l was all bs too.
-
Yessssssssssss George is the best
-
there is no jailbreak for ipod touch 3g yet
-
blackra1n has been running on my computer for ten min. and still have not jailbroken my phone yet whats up
-
@ nick
mine did that too the first time. just hold down the power and home button with it plugged in until you see the apple logo and just wait for the phone to fully restart and hit make it ra1n again! thats what i had to do and wow was it fast after that!! -
If u already have a jailbroken device does it wipe out ur jailbroken apps or does it stay on the device and just upgrade the firmware??? Plz somebody comment back thanks!
-
I only have access to Mac right now :(
For iPhone 3G and 3GS - you will not be able to unlock - correct? -
All iDevices work, though the touch 3 only boots tethered.
-
@AG - I would think you use AptBackup and you'll get them all back when you resync.
-
whats battery life like after doing this. I read in the forum's that someone converted back to non-jailbreak
-
this doesnt work at all for 3.1.2 on iphone 3g
-
Mine was done in less then 30 seconds. Now trying to find some new-mail.caf files so I can actually hear my email alerts.
-
worked in less then 30 seconds on 3gs with 3.1.2
-
Will this jailbreak my 3GS running 3.1?
-
what version of itunes and windows are all you 'successful' guys running?
-
The article states "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." What about 2g iphone is it capable of unlocking it?
-
im used on 3gs 3.1 working perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
looks like from posts all over the place it doesn't work on a 3G running 3.1.2
-
After using blackra1n for 3.1.2 are you able to use the tethering
-
It did not work on my 3.1.2 3gs :( tried it 3 time already. After "make it rain" it installs iteself on the iphone and reboots with no luck!! any suggestions?
-
does it unlock iPhone 1st gen...???
-
DOES THIS UNLOCK AND JAILBREAK THE 2G ON 3.1.2???????
-
This is the difference between dev-team stuff and geohot stuff. Geohot rushes to get stuff out and as a consequence it's kinda flaky where dev-team stuff is usually rock solid and stupid proof. For those of you with trouble, in one of his tweets geo said something about some devices, particularly the 3g, being stubborn. My assumption is you may have to try rebooting your device then running blackra1n again, possibly several times. Also for you ipt3 people, this only works tethered, which means after you jailbreak it, you have to run blackra1n again to make it boot. So if you ever reset your device, you will need to continue using this to force it to boot or it will be bricked until you do.

dev team all day baby
-
@Charlieb620 - Jailbreak yes, unlock, no! If you upgrade to 3.1.2 your baseband becomes unlockable and you can't downgrade it.
@blackra1ndidnotwork try to disable Bonjour service - that seems to be helping some people get it -
wait until the next iphone/ipod update comes out cuz its gunna be brick country for all of you
-
I dunno guys... Id better wait for dev teams solution... I only trust my iphone to them.
-
Bob, i habe the same feelings as you. Maybe better wait for jailbreak from dev-team.
-
Holy crap. That was fast AND painless.
-
@iphone4idiots how do you disable Bonjour service? wot is it? thanks for the rply
-
So how do I install cydia using this method?
Also I am trying to using Appulous, but no apps are downloading, any suggestions? -
I love all of the 'tards on all these sites asking over and over again if this unlocks iPhone 3.1.2. Learn how to read.
-
Would you trust your iphone to this program?
You guy's need to wait for the DEV-TEAM release.
Even if it does work you have to ask yourself one question: "Would you want a picture of this butt ugly dude on your iphone"? I didn't think so !!! -
Not even going to try it, I'll wait for the devteam solution.
As for all of you asking about unlocks, etc, RTFM! -
@iPhone4idots
thanks -
Soooooo does this jailbreak work for iPhone 3Gs running 3.1 an 3.1.2?? Idc about unlocking I just want it jailbroken
-
@charlieb620
try taking 32 seconds out of your life and read the article... -
It doesn't work at all. Hell, Antivirus nails it as a threat. Disable antivirus and it crashes.
Well done George. This isn't nearly up to par of your other projects. -
YES REALLY ALL THE CAPS AND YOUR TELLING ME TO TAKE TIME TO READ THE ARTICLE. WHO SITS THERE AND COUNTS QUESTION MARKS YOU FUCKING FAGGOT. ILL JUST WAIT FOR DEVTEAM CAUSE IM HEARING BAD FEEDBACK ON THIS ANYWAY.
-
Worked 100% for me!!! 3gs 3.1.2! So happy! Google voice here I come!!!!
-
Hey here's the Step by step is so simple Inow my iPod 3g is jailbroken yayhttp://gotsight.com/archives/45
-
Wow 5 seconds is all it took after about 10 tries. Who ever said disable the bonjore service thanks cause thats what did it for me. I also updated my itunes to the latest version idk if that helped, but right after updating itunes and disabling the bonjore service it worked in 5 seconds.
-
Purplera1n was how I jailbroke my 3gs... worked perfectly. Blackra1n is how I will jailbreak, if I decide to upgrade the OS from 3.0... but I have no need to. I have everything I need now; slingbox over 3g network with 3GUnrestricter, teathering, MMS with the carrier update. I don't need anything in 3.1.x... until I start loading apps that require 3.1x to work. Then I will trust Geohot and make it blackra1n. I see a lot of people post that they are having trouble with blackra1n, but all of the people who have had success please post too, so everyone knows George is reliable.
-
will this jailbreak my iphone 3gs with 3.1 on it
-
Will it be possible to use INTERNET TETHERING again after jailbreaking to Blackra1n???
-
hey i keep reading that you have to rerun blackra1n again to reboot the ipt3, which is what i have, but when i run it too early it just turns the screen white and when i wait a little bit it does nothing, any helP?
-
hi i bought an iphone 3sg about 2 weeks ago with 3.1 pre-installed basband 05.11,07 and locked on the o2 5.0 carrier/network which i use as my carrier so i dont need to unlock. if i jailbreak it will i loose that?? im new to jailbreaking so if some one could help it would be well appreciated.
in case your wondering about the o2 carrier its because im from ireland thanks again
please help -
I have a 3.1 OTB from about 6 days ago. I don't really care about unlocking my phone, I just want it jailbroken.
It literally took 30 seconds. Then it was done. Afterwards you will notice the blackra1n icon on your device. Open it up and install cydia or one of the other two.
This really could not have been any easier.
Also, AVG DID NOT detect anything wrong with the windows app. So please don't go starting virus rumors about blackra1n.
A lot of the problems and questions that people are having would be solved if you would just take five or ten minutes and just read.
Again, this is just my experence with blackra1n on a 3.1 OTB iPhone. -
It took me four tries for the jailbreak to work. It should only take a few seconds to work, so if you are getting stuck on the recovery screen for longer than 30 seconds just try again. It will work. Thanks so much for this it was very quick.
-
im running an iphone 3g on 3.1.2 and ive tried 8 times everyway i was told to and this blackra1n doesnt work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please dont try this what for the dev team release or risk ruining a 2 to 3 hundred dollar investment !!!! ur iphone!!!!!
-
when i download blackra1 i receive an entry point error. Can someone assist me?
-
Worked great. I have a 32g iPhone 3gs with 3.1.2 on windows vista. So fast!
-
This guy makes the devteam look like a pathetic bunch of amateurs!! Why would I wait for their tool when they only F up my phone anyway?
Purplera1n was the BEST jailbreak tool ever released and I'll bet this one is great as well...I'll be using it as soon as I get home. -
This sounds VERY stupid, but, does every jailbreak program affect the phones battery life differently depending on how it jailbreaks the phone??
-
this wont work on my 3g with 3.1.2, i have tried repeatedly, what can i do?
-
help!
wen i use this on my ipod touch 2g, it gets stuck at entering recovery -
*Windows 7 Users, run blackra1n in Compatibility Mode using Vista SP2 & as an Administrator.
Easily Jailbroke my iPhone 3G 3.1.2 on my PC (Windows 7 32-bit)
blackra1n is NOT a virus when you download from the Geo's site directly .. only stupid people will download from another source. -
this doesn't seem to work for 3g with updated 3.1.2. every time i run blackra1n, it just gets stuck in either "running" or "entering recovery" with geohot's picture never coming up. i've tried every which way(about 10 times now). if someone has it working for 3g, please post how you did it.
-
alisher
mine does the same thing, ive tried probably 20+ times, -
How do you get free apps on the Ipod Touch 3g OS 3.1.2 using pc? I've already jailbroken it.
Thanks in advance :) -
Pretty simple jailbreak. Not sure what others are doing wrong.
-
is there any way to go back if you have already updated your iphone 3g to 3.1.2 so i can jailbreak? I also updated the carrier file this week.
-
I just jailbroke my 3GS using blackrain and erupted in laughter. The program is a single executable with one button to click. The jailbreak took 20 seconds, and most of that time was the phone rebooting. Apple's iPhone empire has been completely crumbled by a kid!
Blackrain takes jailbreaking to the mainstream, because it requires no special work. Plug in, execute, click button, done! -
now i got it working, it took 15 seconds, but like i said ive tried it 30 times today and now it works, awesome
-
sunny,
what did you do different this time around. still not getting it to work. -
mine keeps getting stuck on "entering recovery" iphone has the the recovery mode screen stuck and itunes keeps opening please please help me!!
-
I have my phone 3G 16Gb 3.1.2 jailbreaked right now with blackra1n on windows 7 64x, if you have problem running blackra1n just do like said before, terminate the bonjour process then run blackra1n with vista sp2 compatible mode and with administrator rights, worked well in secons for me :)
-
hi nox im running vista 32 should i just keep it like that and continue?
-
alisher
i didnt do anything different, i think i had itunes open even, it just worked this time and ive tried it over 30 times, i then installed cydia and icy and rock or whatever and now i have a cydia problem it says because i installed icy, so if you get it working maybe dont install icy -
Wow, so many babies and Dev Team dick riders up in here. Like purplera1n before, this is an extremely easy jailbreak process. If it doesn't work the first time (which it did for me) just reboot and try again. Not that difficult. Nod32 did not detect any viruses. It worked perfectly fine on my 3GS on Windows 7.
-
we need a top 10 must have JB apps thread!
Make it so! -
Dear George Hotz:
Great Jailbreak. Don't Fuck it up with a creepy picture of yourself.
Love, Joe -
scale of 1-10, this is OVER 9000!!!!!! This program is almost godly!!!! Thank you!!!
-
thank u nOx for that peace of info worked great however i have installed winterborad and a few themes the themes will show up i winerborad but will not display. anybody know how resolve this....
-
George Hotz is a loser !!!
i JB my 3gs ( 3.1 - baseband 5.11.07 - bootload 6.04 )
jb in 20s but this tool is not "real" JB, he fool all of us. After jb we should easy access to file system , right ? It fast but useless, Thanks, but no thanks
after jb i use pc suite, iphone browser access to file system, it said your iphone not jb. what's up GeoHotz ? all he did is put cydia on iphone , nothing thing esle. jb mean you can install any apps, or modify file system . Dev-team do better job.
what a loser Geoge Hotz -
Blackra1ndoesntwork - ok it works for 3g . Update ur device to 3.1.2 then after that's done reboot ur phone once . Plug in ur phone and run blackra1n. It should work I did mine on vista go to ihackintosh.com for a tutorial and tips . Geohot said if u r using windows 7 run it as vista sp2 and or admin . See my phone wouldn't load the blackra1n program at first but when I rebooted and tried it jb'ed in a heart beat .
-
U will get blackra1n on ur device then run that to install cydia
-
Hey to that are trashing geohot and blackra1n stop it the program works fine it does what it says I have 2 iPhone 3g and 1 3gs and all are now rocking 3.1.2 and hacked!!!! And I was running vista off my dual boot macbook pro. For my 3gs i've been with out a hack since the last pwnge tool. Maybe the dev team should team up with geo they could be unstoppable. Anyway I'm so happy that I have my hacks back I gave a donation to the cause. Because an iPhone is not a true killer if not hacked. Thanks again geohot keep it up.
-
dont install icy or that rock shit
i had to re jb it because cydia fucked up said it was because of icy, anyways, this time i did it i had itunes open and it worked on the 5th try, i dunno if thats what needs to be done -
@ I'm using filezilla and I can access file system. And if u don't like the work he does don't use it and do It ur self! Get a life!
-
Do we have a solution to Winterboard or Bosspaper etc. not working yet?
Thats the only downside you cant customise. -
Well after trying all day to get this to work on my 3Gs 3.1.2 I am giving up.
No go on parallels...
2 different windows machines=stuck in recovery mode -
blackrain is shit. im using it as i type this and its been runnin on my computer for 5 minutes and hasnt done shit, to my 2g ipod touch. this is b.s
-
Mine says connect to itunes still (b4 i even tried to jailbreak ) (its an old phone im trying to turn into an itouch ) will this ever work for it ?
-
It took 20 second to jailbreak my 3gs 3.1.2. And everything is working including winterboard, sbsettings.... You guys got to be doing something wrong..
-
It gets me... I restarted my iPhone and as soon as I did it it said "You have jailbroken your iPhone..." but nothing happened. I prematurely restarted.... This time i'm waiting it out.
-
i had to redo mine cause of cydia problems, its 3g, and now its not working again, its hit or miss
-
ok, so ive done jb'ed it twice in the past few hours, its hit or miss when it comes to whether its gonna work or not, if the ugly guys face doesnt come up on the screen within 15 seconds, i dont think itll work, phone is a 3g, so i had the screen unlocked, itunes closed, and it worked, i dunno what else but ive done it this exact same way 15 times and it didnt work, good luck
-
Hey guys. I need your help please.. I installed blackra1n a few hours ago on my ipt 2G. When I switched on my ipt, an itunes screen appeared asking to connect to itunes. Does anyone know why?
-
It worked perfectly after rebooting but not after I switched off and on again..
-
Apparently with ipt 2g you have to run blackrain every time you restart
-
Does that mean that I have to connect my ipt to a computer and run blackrain before i can use it? Is there any other program that I can use that doesn't need this process?
-
Those that fail to jailbreak their phones must be a bunch of stupid teens.
READ THE GUIDE!!!
How can you fail this?
Fucktards! -
this was the easiest jailbreak i ever done great job Geo!!!!
-
For those of you on the 3g running 3.1.2 and having problems, make sure your iTunes is open and then run blackra1n, I tried to run it about 15 times and as soon as I did this, it worked. Good Luck. Blackra1n is by far the fastest jailbreaking tool I've ever used. George outdid himself here.
-
I used it on a 3gs 3.1 otb iphone and it worked perfectly the first go!
-
finally got it to work on 16g 3g(3.1.2) after trying about 20 times throughout the day. put blackra1n.exe file into C:/ folder. opened itunes slid "slide to unlock" so that i was on home screen. ran blackra1n.exe and it worked. *did not run as administrator or close any processes.
-
Guys.. Please see comments 93,94,95 and 96. HELP !!! ;(
-
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.
-
Worked like a charm. 10secs. Or somewhere around there. 32gb 3gs. Upgraded from 3.0.1.
-
I believe all I have read or viewed indicates you must be on 3.12 FW before doing the JB.
-
@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. -
@ Joe:
indeed! -
Installed, ran and jailbroken! It's that simple.
iPhone 3GS white 16gig - woot!! 3.1 - prolly will do 3.12 later today. -
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
-
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. -
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? -
What JB apps are people having problems with? Thus far I've read AppSync and Winterboard. Anything else not working with 3.1.2?
-
Winterboard works fine for me on 3gs. I've seen a few places where it isn't working on 3g.
-
best thing ive ever done!! i love my new jb and hope geohot releases more blackra1n!!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 -
Call me crazy, but my battery life seems better after blackrain. I'm just sayin.
-
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.
-- -
@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!
-
Anyone have issues with AppSync?
-
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. -
Best Jailbreaker Program EVER !¡!¡!
-
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 -
@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.
-
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
-
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. -
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.
-
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 -
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
Nate
If this helped post a comment -

Just tried using black ra1n on my 3G and i got bricked! Anyone know how to get my PC to read my iphone again???
-
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
-
@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. -
@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. -
i mean a link stupid donkeys
-
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 -
Has anyone found that Winterboard doesn't work with Blackra1n?
-
Cydelete, Fiverow and dock don't work, statusnotifier doesn't work either? Are they not compatible with 3.1.2
-
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 -
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..?
-
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. -
John.... thanks ill give it try

http://www.ithinkdiff.com/fixing-issues-with-ipod-touch-3-1-2-blackra1n-...
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. -
Has anyone got unknown error 13 on their phone?

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. -
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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..
-
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) -
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.
-
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
-
I have notice that blackra1n works better with 3gs Iphones than 3g.I have a 3g and so far blackr1n has not worked
-
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.
-
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.
-
OKAY fianlly got it. before i was getting the whole itunes plug thing... until i moved the downloaded blackra1n to my c/ folder.
-
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.
-
Must I follow the same process like people do with their 3g ipod touch? Please help !!! :(
-
Eli ..what device and version do you have? ipod touch or iphone?
-
OK, I have a iPod 2G 16GB. This is what I did (worked flawlessly): Downloaded blackra1n.exe to C: Drive. Connected iPod. Closed iTunes when it appeared. Executed blackra1n.exe and clicked "make it ra1n". Observed the photo of the developer and followed screen prompts. After final boot (closed iTunes again) I disconnected the iPod from the USB cable. Ran the blackra1n app on the iPod and installed Cydia. All apps from Cydia work fine, winterboard works fine, SBsettings, Makeitmine, etc. Cheers.
-
Forgot to add, I also have the newest version of iTunes and FW 3.1.2.
Good luck. -
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 :( -
Yatin i have a 8gig 3g iphone
-
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 !!!!!
-
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.
-
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.
-
Guys.. Do I have to install Cydia via wi-fi?
-
When u run blackra1n after it installs on ur I. It should be an option
-
I don't have wi fi yet..please help me out..what should I look for to install using my cable internet?
-
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.
-
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.
-
No it doesn't. You would need wifi then.
-
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 ;) -
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..
-
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 :) -
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 -
@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. -
Estimados, antes de hacer su Jailbreake con este programa, por favor lean este Blog, http://iphonedechile.blogspot.com/ Saludos desde Santiago de Chile
-
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..
-
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 ? -
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. -
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! :) -
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?
-
note: I have Windows vista running as admin and the iPod Touch is 8GB
-
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 -
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?
-
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. -
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? -
One more thing, I jailbroke my old 16gig iphone 3g just before attempting on my 3GS...
-
i used blackra1n and my phone froze for 3 hours i DO NOT reccommend using this program
-
GREAT! Ive noticed small things with BLACKRA1N. Battery Life decreased by 8.7% E-Mail Connects twice and sometimes does not download. 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
-
@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 -
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 ?
Don't lie to yourseft . -
DO NOT FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS!!! MY PHONE LOST THE CARRIER SIGNAL AND NOW SHOWS NO SERVICE. SO I CANNOT MAKE CALLS OR ANYTHING. JAILBREAK WORKED BUT IT LOST THE SIGNAL SO DO NOT DO IT! SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE
-
Hei guys.. Please help me out here..I installed blackra1n,cydia and winterboard..after I shut down and restart I get the annoying iTunes and USB sign.. what am I doing wrong? Do I need to delete blackra1n after installation?
-
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 tried everything you guys said on 8gb 3g it just does not work.
First it says connect the i phone to itunes then it goes into a dim black screen any help or anything else i can try -
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.
-
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.
-
TRIED IT A FEW TIMES LAST NITE ON MY 3G 3.1 AND IT GETS TO THE RUNNING PART AND STAYS THERE FOREVER. I HELD THE HOME/POWER BUTTONS DOWN AFTER ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES OF WAITIN AND I GET A MESSAGE SAYIN THAT IT WAS SUCCESSFULLY JAILBROKEN WAIT FOR A REBOOT. NOTHIN HAPPENED. I THOUGHT I WAS IMPATIENT AND I TRIED IT WAS AGAIN ONLY TO GET THE SAME EXACT MESSAGE. PLEASE HELP!!
-
2nd time no problem yet. Cycled power for winterboard reboot instead of letting it do it for me. But I think my solution was only installing one installer. I chose rock but may change to cydia. Haven't decided yet. So far so good. One again 3gs not unlocked new baseband jb updated 3.1.2 on vista ultimate with only rock app and winterboard working.
-
Awesome dude! Jailbroke my Ipod 2G in like four secs! Thank you very much:D
-
When I try this I see the custom screen with the rain and the little spinning pinwheel thing. Then my ipod touch goes black and nothing happens. I can't restart it or anything. I restored it through itunes and tried it 3 times already. Any help?
-
I used both vista and Xp. With my vista my iPod was stuck in the connect to iTunes screen. After I tried like 10 times i tried on my Xp. Im also using the newest iTunes if that helps anyone helping me
-
I have a iPod 3g, version 3.1.2 and when I did this it never worked. I don't know why? So I'm hoping if someone can help!
-
Doesnt work for me!!! blackra1n stay on running process and my iphone stay on itune recovery mode ,i have tried 8 time , everytime the same shittt!!!
-
This sadly doesnt work for me, if it's the USB Logo where it's stuck or the running!
All the advise here i have followed but still no go :( -
I got 2 out of 3.
3GS 32gig worked perfectly.
ipod touch 2nd gen 8gig, again worked perfectly.
ipod touch 3rd gen 8 gig, tried three times but no go.
All upgraded to 3.1.2 first
Click let it rain and it starts, then the touch just turns off after seeing the recovery screen.
Have to do a recovery in itunes to get it back.
Have tried with itunes on or off but havent tried turning off the bonjour service though.... -
i do the whole process of the blackra1n thing and when its done the app is not on my phone and its like nothing ever happened. i have the iphone 2g what should i do
-
my winterboard isn't work w/ blackrain, please advise
i need my themes people -
Holy crap! It finally worked! I must have tried this about 20 times using some combination of all of the previous suggestions. I am running Win7RC 64-bit. Circumstances when it worked > no compatibility mode was checked, no Run As Administrator, I did not have the blackra1n.exe file at the root of c:. No Apple processes were running except AppleMobileDeviceService.exe. iTunes was not running. Phone was powered on and unlocked.
-
Forgot to mention my phone is iPhone 3G 8GB. The previous 19 times I tried it I was getting the "connect to iTunes" symbol every time, then I would have to reboot the phone.
-
And I didn't have to hold the buttons in a particular order, etc. I just saw the picture within about 15 seconds. Finally!
-
worked for me... iphone 3gs 16gb on windows 7 ultimate 64bit. took like 5 secs...
-
This is Amazingly fast works like a charm 2 thumbs UP
-
Hi. Can i use this on a 3gs with 3.1 factory installed? i didnt update to 3.1.2 when itunes told me to. so can i run blackra1n as it is with 3.1 isntalleD?
dont need an unlock just a jailbreak. please reply -
Very easy jailbreak, did have to use an XP cpu with file saved to C drive. HOWEVER, MY PHONE CRASHED NEXT DAY!!! Restored, re-jailbreaked, crashed 4 more times the next 2 days. Reverted to 3.0.1 via qukpwn and redsn0wed'd it and have no more problems. WAIT FOR DEV TEAM ON THIS, TRUST ME. Cannot tether with this either not with MyWI or BenM.
-
I tried to use it at least 10 times. no luck. I looked at this forum and seen iphone4idiots said "disable the bonjour service". Did that and soon as I tried it again, BAM it worked. thanks iphone4idiots. If you having problems,just do what he said.
-
I have 3g on 3.1.2. I was stuck at "running..." screen until i followed previous post suggestions and went to fresh restore. After the fresh restore i used the most recent backup that itunes suggested (it had been previously JB) so that i could get my contacts back. blackra1n worked immediately.
-
OKAY SO I HAVE AN IPHONE 3G RUNNING ON 3.1.2 SOFTWARE I JAIL BROKE IT VERY FAST AND EASY BUT NOW WHEN I DOWNLOAD THEMES THAT WORKS BUT WHEN I GO INTO WINTER BOARD I CLICK ON THE THEME IT LOADS FOR 2 SECONDS THAN GOES TO NORMAL NOTHING CHANGES I TRIED THE ORIGINAL THEMES TO AND IT DIDN'T WORK. PLEASE HELP ME !!!
-
After repeated attempts to install blackra1n, and always getting stopped at the iTunes plug icon, I read about moving my blackra1n download to my c folder. Did so and lo and behold, it worked! Happy now:)
-
Stops at running for me, i have iphone3g i tryed EVERYTHING.
-
I followed user post 162 (Jim)'s advice, worked for me after 15 tries.
-
I just figure out, the computer must be "Authorized" in iTunes. Mine was not authorized so I fixed this by going to "Store" -> "Authorize computer." I had to disconnect / reconnect my iPhone, then run blackrain.
-
This does not woek man
-
worked after many tries. found out that my USB Wireless mouse needed to be unplugged before it worked and now works great. I would recommend unplugging all USB to be on the safe side
-
It took a while to jailbreak my 3G, and a little trouble-shooting, but it finally worked and I am so happy! Geohot is my new hero.
-
Does any one know how to jail beak an already updated 3g 8 gig because black ra1n doesnt work
-
I have tried everything(fresh restore, ending processes, holding power and home...etc) posted in every thread and was very doubtful of blackra1n working for me. I got blackra1n to work for me by putting phone into DFU mode myself instead of letting blackra1n do it...hope this helps someone.
-
I've been trying this since Monday the 12th and couldn't get it to jailbreak. And I found these instructions from "PuG" on another site AND IT WORKED.. FINALLY ! ! !
"Been messing about with my 3G 8gb for about half an hour trying to jailbreak it lol.. followed everyones suggestions and nothing worked... THEN i cracked it...
Do all the update stuff first then unplug your iphone and reboot it. compatibility mode your blackra1n, RUN blackra1n and click "make it rain"... THEN and only then plug your iphone back into the computer... was over and done in 30 seconds, popped up wit the message telling me my iphone would be jailbroken once it had reboot and the image of the curly haired lad with the wave of iphones popped onto the screen... it rebooted and now its done.
Cheers.."
In addition I stopped all Antivirus services.. -
FIX FOR THOSE STUCK ON RECOVERY MODE
Confirming what CT63366 said. When blackra1n gets your iPhone to reboot to go into recovery mode, remove the USB cable. Then when its on recovery mode (i.e. USB cable pointing to iTunes on iPhone screen), plug it back in and see Geohot's face on your iPhone appear. :-) -
Nope, doesnt work, ipod touch 3g refuses to boot after this.
-
Thanks Mike on 10/12--after turning 'OFF' XP-compatibility mode blackra1n worked ...after 5 failed attempts with XP-compatibility mode ON; running Vista Business SP2.
-
wow! that was so fast! I updated mine which is 3g 3.1 all you need to do: download blackra1n and save in C: click make it rain plug your iphone in your computer Voila! count 1-10 then you will see the picture of blackra1n guy and wait to reboot.. you are done and finally jailbroken your iphone! thanks!
-
hey also all my data are still save in my iphone!!! this is really great and fast!
-
guess. what.
mike on 10/12 is a life-saver. -
Worked like a charm...but had to try for more than 20 times....
Here is how i did...hope it'd help somebody,
Windows 7 RTM 64bit, iPhone 3G 16GB ---
Tried all possible ways as everybody said...pressing and holding buttons...so on didnt work...
when it worked,
the .exe was in C drive, Ran as an Adminstrator, iTunes was CLOSED, what made the different is unpluged my Microsoft wireless keyboard any mouse..(as I saw by someones comment) thought its lame...but somehow it worked 4 me....
the easiest Jailbrak ever...
Thank you GeoHot and the person who left the comment :P -
After 3 hours I finally got it to work by doing this:
1.Disable sync in the intial phone settings
2.Edit>preferences go to devices tab and check disable sync.
3.Put phone in air plane mode
4.Ran blackra1n as admin and winxp compat
5.Worked! -
I cant believe how shitty this jailbreak is... it is actually the most stressful and hardest to do yet. My iphone just shows the sync to itunes screen every time i do it. ive tried every which way, no luck. these little faggots need to tighten it up
-
Unjailbroken IPT 1G 16g 3.1.1 (updated for free) jailbroken in less than 20 secs, reboot took longer.
Didn't work the 1st time so disconnected, got stuck in DFU (silly icon where USB plug points to the ITunes icon), just turned off iPod, turned it on again, everything back to normal, connected sync cable to PC, "Let it ra1n", BAMMMMMM, jailbroken. -
This jailbreak DOES work on the 3G w/ the 3.1.2 update, I just jailbroke and I've already installed apps requiring a jailbreak and they're working just fine... I too had initial problems restoring after downloading the blackra1n app (kept getting stuck on the logo instructing me to connect to iTunes). Finally, after the 3rd reset after getting stuck - eureka! Persistence is the key...
-
Ok people I found the key to one eyed willie. For those getting stuck on running in blackra1n with the phone showing the usb connector and itunes do this.
1. put blackra1n on c drive
2. turn compatibility mode on. Vista users put XP. Xp users put windows 2000.
3. run program and hit make it rain. The program should get stuck on entering recovery mode at this point.
4 with the program stuck on entering recovery mode, hit power and home on the phone to turn it off. Leave the phone off.
5. close blackra1n. turn compatibility mode off. run it again, hit make it rain
6. turn iphone back on. wait for it to jailbreak.
I've now done this on 2 iphones that wouldn't work the way the normal directions state and it worked like a charm. Give it a try. -
my ipod is 3.1.2 and it finishes downloading but does not reboot ive tried rerunning blackra1n and ive tried to hold both buttons thats does not work any ideas
-
YES !!!! this worked perfect on my iPhone 3gs on firmware 3.1
THANK YOU SO MUCH ! -
I've tried everything on this website, and every idea on others! I have a iphone 3g with 3.1.2 and cannot get blackra1n to jailbreak the phone. If I've tried once, I've tried 30 times. I've even tried it on several computers to no avail. I did make some advancement, when hitting 'make it rain' it was going to the usb to itunes screen and staying. NOW it gets a little past that on a black screen and just stays there. Any other ideas before I give up? I'm running Win 7 and have placed blackra1n in every possible place and tried running it in every type of compatiblity mode available.
-
Does this work for the 1st generation ipod touch?
-
iphone 3g here, previously used redsn0w. Not sure if that makes a difference or not. Had a real heck of a time trying blackra1n. Tried all the "put it on the root of C drive, hold power + home, blah blah, nothing worked EXCEPT for the following:
Windows 7 x64
blackra1n exe was on the desktop (some fixes say it MUST be on the root of C:)
iphone was plugged in, just sitting there.
right click on blackra1n.exe, set compatability mode to XP SP3 (read here to use Vista, but it blows and I refuse to associate with it)
right click blackra1n again, Run As Administrator.
That's it, worked exactly as described after that. Took about 20 seconds to put the blackra1n app on the phone, I'm downloading Cydia as I type this.
To all the folks who used this, you should donate! To everyone complaining about it, keep researching, the right method is out there for you! Then Donate! I did! -

I've run blackra1n on the ipod touch 3g, it works perfectly until you reboot the device, I then have to restore it back to it's original state!!
-
3G +3.1.2: -
Guys/Gals, follow the alternative method by iSpazio at btm of page on ihackintosh.com "Jailbreak your iPhone iPod 3.1.2 with Blackra1n" article. It deals with situations in which you don't see the Hotz graphic + get stuck on "running". Cheers. -
Look, there is an obvious conflict between blackra1n and some systems. The simple solution is to try a different computer, several if you have to. I'm just curious as to why I am having intermittent issues receiving PUSH notifications since I installed this jailbreak.
-
Can anyone tell me how to unlock an iphone 3gs 3.1 firmware 5.11.07 out of the box? PLEASE????????????
-
HELP!! I do not have wifi on my ipod touch. but i need to jailbreak!! Blackra1n says it needs wifi to download cydia to finish the jailbreak. Is there anyway to get cydia without having internet? Can the jailbreak even finish without installing Cydia??
-
sigh I have a 3G White 16GB 3.1.2 FRESHLY RESTORED over 20 times following other peoples advice, simply rebooting it 100 times if the blokes face didnt pop up. NOTHING, Not one difference putting the file in the C drive downloading it from firefox, admin no admin NOTHING, Mac vs PC NOTHING. It will not let me no matter what I do ): I Have Read everyones comments above me and followed basically everyone, vids from Youtube still NOTHING. I have tried every possible solution and it has failed. There seriously HAS to be another jailbreak apart from this. Its just ridiculous how many times Ive tried and tried. my email nitromenace@hotmail.com EMAIL ME OR REPLY TO THIS IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER WAY OR METHOD OR ANYTHING ON HOW TO DO THIS ):
-
sorry thats nitro (underscore) menace (underscore) @ hotmail (dot) com

great jaibreak very fast but my winter board is not working
-
Been trying to jailbreak this for a couple of days now. Updated to 3.1.2 via iTunes.
Currently running Vista.
Tried all possible and impossible combinations of rebooting my iPhone, putting it in recovery mode, in DFU mode, holding power/home buttons for different time periods, and alas, after a solid 30 tries Frodo appeared on my iPhone. His jolly face stared right back at me for a good 20 seconds and the phone re-started. Got me right back to square 1, emergency screen with no jailbreak. Another 20+ failed attempts later, Frodo miraculously re-appeared. Again, stared at me for a few seconds; iPhone re-started and back to emergency screen.
Any ideas how I can get Frodo to actually jailbreak this thing?
Cheers -
i have tried jailbreaking my Iphone 3G 8GB on vista for nearly over 5 hours and still nothing ive done everything like put Blackra1n into C: drive, run as admin, etc and it allways gets stuck on entering recovery i left it for like and hour and was stuck ive restored it loads of times is there anyone that can help !!!
-
does not work for me. Im running Iphone 3g with 3.1.2 anyone else have any luck with the 3g?
-
Worked great on my 3G tonight, took 30 sec after itunes took 5 min to update my phone. Only thing that doesn't work is can't get appsync to install, gives some error not sure if appsync is even ready for 3.1.2 yet tho.
-
Ok, I had V 3.0 and used redsn0w and it worked a treat. was able to sync apps no worries, then I upgraded the firmware to 3.1.2 and lost all my apps. now that I have jailbroken my 3GS V 3.1.2 how do I sync apps to it?
-
I've used blackra1n to jailbreak worked like a charmed
but I do not have anymore the option the share my internet connection
any clue ? -
I was about to give up on this after trying to run it from two different PCs. As my iPhone is stuffed to the gills with apps I decided to do a FACTORY RESTORE to 3.1.2 and then run it. It worked first time after doing this.
Ran on Windows 7 in Vista SP2 compatibility mode, Bonjour service stopped.
Nice simple jailbreak. -
Can someone help me out with some one on one getting this thing to work? I have been working to get this jailbroken, but i can't get it to work 100%.
Email me @ByndGalaxiesS@aol.com
If i could just get one good person to help me out, that would be awesome. Thanks. -
This will not work with ITouch 3g model starting with 'MC' which is probably the 8gb model. I tried on 1g, 2g and it works. As long as model number don start with MC, this will work.
-
BLACKRA1N DOSE NOT JAIL BREAK THE IPOD TOUCH 3G WHEN YOU RUN THE PROGRAM YOUR IPOD WILL NOT WORK YOU HAVE TO RESTORE YOUR IPOD
-
Yes it does work on the itouch 3rd gen, it took me until the 3rd time of trying but it did it within 5seconds, but jailbreaking didnt seem all it had lived up to be for me, hopefullly i will change my mind about it :/
-
this video explains how to fix the problem I (and many others) encountered where blackra1n would start and then the phone would just get stuck in recovery mode forever. the fix involves holding down the power and home buttons like in the original quickpwn, just watch the video TWICE before you actually try it. hope this helps!
http://video.aol.co.uk/video-detail/fix-iphone-3g-blackra1n-problems-312... -
this isn't working. after i do exactly as it writes here, and on many more sites (even with pressing power and home buttons), everything goes well (blackra1n installs on touch, and after that i install cydia from blackra1n) but my touch 2nd gen is not jailbroken. when i try to install cracked applications, i get error message (unknown error occurred 0xE8008001). model number is not start with mc.
-
okay i have Ipod touch 3.1.2. i know its tethered but it still works doesnt it? i hit make it ra1n and it does everything right but then when it comes back to reboot it doesnt come back on. what do i do to make it come back on and work properly? please tell me what to do.
-
mine keeps getting stuck on "waiting for reboot" I have a iPod touch 2g with 3.1.2 firmware, if that helps any. please help someone?
-
How do I fix the phone that I just bought two months ago that your software bricked?
-
Good work! had a fair bit of trouble with vista but the instant got onto xp worked like a charm.
-
I have successfully jailbroken my 3GS 3.1 but unable to unlock... can anyone help? Ultrasnow won't do the unlocking job.....
-
If you can't get it to work, disable the bonjour services (go to Start > Run > services.msc, right click on Bonjour > properties > disable) and in task manages, end all processes that are appl related, except for AppleMobileDeviceService. Basically, just end iPodService and iTunesHelper. Run, and it works!
Just remember to enable the bonjour service again! -
i have a question???
im new to the whole jailbreaking thing sooo...
Is it okay for me to install cydia and hackulous through the rogers internet and not wifi or should i wait to install these until i have wifi??? will rogers detect that i've jailbroken my phone?? -
Worked perfectly first try. . . THANKS!
-
Thank you Sia.G. I tried everything and did not work until I desabled my Bonjour in the vista Services!
-
Greatest thing I have ever tried. Actually works for 2G. Didnt have to wait like you did with the pwnagetool for 3.1.1. Much better and takes about 20 seconds including recovery mode time. And you do no work. Love it.
-
Somebody needs to help me asap before i launch my iphone 3g 3.1.2......i tried every way possible and all it keeps saying is running...HELP!
-
k...now im getting desperate... ANYBODY?
-
The alternative method over at http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/10/jailbreak-your-iphone-ipod-3-1-2-with... worked perfectly for me with iPhone 3G 16Gb + 3.1.2 :D
-
how to install blackra1n in your device..make your " WiFi " ON... & run " make it ra1n "
-
Dont even waste your time with this 3.1.2 is only bug fixes so it is not nessasary to do it immediatly so you can wait for the dev teams jailbreak especially for the iphone 3g because most have complained of it not working. everybodys safest bet is to wait for dev team, get aptbackup to get your stuff back then update and that should take care of most of your problems...
-
DougAus..that website and alternate method worked....too easy...thanks
-
Go here and follow aternate method

Just got this to work at last!!! I tried this about 20+ times and it stopped at various stages and never actually worked so I closed iTunes then checked my running services. I closed all services to do with iPhone or iPod and also the iTunes helper service. I also had lots of rundll32.exe services running which I thought might have been from all the times I tried to run the blackra1n program so I closed all of those too.
I then slid the slider to get to the home screen and run blackra1n again and it worked straight away.
I don't know if it's because of how I did it or just coincidence but it's probably worth a try for anyone still having problems with this! -
Is this version of blackra1n a beta
and do you have to have ipt 2g plugged in to the computer in order for blackra1n to work -
If anyone is having issues jail breaking with blackra1n plug in the phone, hold the home and power, keep holding until you see the apple logo (should take at least 30 secs) then let it boot back up, then click make it ra1n. Thank you john ^^^^^
-
it works. disable all itunes/apple applications on your pc after u do the 3.1.2 update. reboot your phone once. put phone in airplane mode.
after it works, go to cydia and do update. then search for afc2add in cydia apps. install this and winterboard, iphonebrowser, etc will work! -

What do you mean not capable like I gave 3.1.2 and it won't reboot my phone after the process is done it just stays black
-
Woot! took me four tries but it finally worked. Don't know what made it work though. Tried opening itunes, nothing. Disabled Bonjour, nothing. Plugged it in and let itunes show up first and unchecked the "open itunes when ipod is plugged in" option and closed itunes, Success :)
-
geohot, you are awesome!!! Thanks a lot for this fantastically easy jb. I did it with 3G and 3.1.2.
-
What a nightmare. Heres what finally did it for me, as soon as the phone goes into restore mode and screen turned black hold down the sleep button and do not let it go until his ugly mug shows up on your screen. Took me a million times and that was the only thing I did differently.
-
holy crap dang man 10 seconds and i already got cydia open!!
-
I cant get Cydia to install, it keeps saying no internet connection and could not download. Please help.
-
If it doesn't work for you, don't fret, it's not you fault like all these A-holes keep saying. I jailbroke my 16GB 3GS in 10 seconds using this program. However, my sisters 8GB 3G will simply not work. It gets stuck in recovery mode every time I try. Just wait for a solution. Check posts often.
-

Do I NEED to restore my iPod Touch 2nd Gen before running blackra1n? I'd like to just update my non-jailbroken iPod to 3.1.2 and then blackra1n so I don't have to back up all of my music and apps and such.
-

Good Day Everyone:
I am a virgin at this Jailbreaking things and am wondering the future of my Ipod Touch 32Gb.
I have been successful at the jailbreak (dudes mug appears)and even loading cydia. When I go to reboor I get the Itunes USB pic.
Am I doing something wrong?
I also have questions regarding life after the jailbreak(1st time jailbreaker so be nice):
- How do I reboot my Ipod Touch 32Gb?
- Can I ever use Itunes?
- How to I add apps?
- Is there a program that is better than Itunes to add songs and apps?
Thanks -
I clicked the blackra1n button on my mac. Everytime it keeps crashing, my iphone won't even turn off and the computer doesn't recognize the iphone anymore. It's totally stuck in the "connect to itunes" screen. HELP!!
-
You need to make sure you have libusb installed! I tried this probably 30 times before i remembered that i might need libusb. After i installed it, it worked perfectly.

HI, i am running 1G itouch with 1.1.4 firmware. can i blackra1n it? if yes how?
-
i tried about 100 times
and blank screen
download from firefox it works pefectly
thanks -
Hey guys!
I finally did it. Here's what worked for me:
-Put blackra1n in C:
-You don't need to run itunes or kill any process
-Slide ur finger to unlock ur iphone (you should be in homepage now)
-Run blackra1n
Here's the key part. I tried this a million times on vista and it did not work, but it worked the first time on xp. If you have vista right click on blackra1n> click on properties> go to compatibility tab> Check the box saying "Run this program in compatibility with Windows XP"
If your iPhone freezes after the dude's face pops up, wait a little then hold the sleep butten until ur iphone is off, then turn it on and blackra1n should be installed for you. -
Just bought OTB iPhone 3GS today. Do I need to be aware of

Will this work for iTouch 3g 3.1.2 firmware??
PLEASE REPLY SOMEONE... -
I tried so many different ways to do this.
This is what worked for me on 3g 3.1.2
Plug the phone in, close itunes, run blackra1n. When it hangs on running, itunes will open on it's own, close itunes again. then go into Task Manager and end process on ituneshelper. Then close blackra1n and run it again. -
It worked perfectly yay
-
Use blackra1n now, its revision 2 and works much better on 3g's. There is one thing I've noticed: the file system is not really unlocked with iFunbox and 3.1.2. What's the best file explorer for the update?

question:
I have an Iphone 3G 16GB. I have succesfully jailbroken. 3.1 Firmware.
I can use it. But if I left it on for severl hours it crashes and I obtain only a "white screen of death".
If I left it without charge for a couple of days everything turns OK. But I cannot understand why.
I tried everything. Back to 3.0. Left without jailbreak..
nothing to do. If I use it for 10 minutes BAM! White screen...
I supposed it would be wet. So I opened it but the spots are still white, not pink...
Can anyone help me?
Thank you... -

This program is a piece of zhit, fuked my 3gs 7 times already, DO NOT INSTALL THIS ZHIT IN UR IPHONE !!!
-
Fuking program, iphone is frozen now, for 4 hours
-
When ever I turn off my iPod after the jailbreak it goes into recovery mode and I a.m very ipset
-
nehmo20 I love you!!!! 2 days I have been trying to do this - and your suggestions were the only ones that worked for me - you rock!!!!!!
-
Does this version have copy and paste? It's been ages since I did a firmware update.
-
I've tried and tried and tired but blackra1in still won't worl on my IPhone 3g(not even blackra1n rc2). I keep getting stuck on the usb screen and nothing happens. I'm sick of retoring my iphone.
-
I tried this 4 times and have FINALLY had success!
I have an iphone 3G and am running on Windows Vista.
From the many, many forums I've been reading tonight it seems alot of people had to tweak things around to get things working. The following is what worked for me.
If the below doesn't help you, keep researching, keep trying! Moved Blackra1n to my C:/ Drive Restarted my laptop (Not sure if this is necessary but I gave it a go) UNCHECKED the compatibility Windows xp service pack 2 in the Program Properties (I had it checked b/c other directions said to do so.. but having it not checked worked for me) Had iTunes program opened, but minimized and turned off "Automatically sync when iPhone is connected" option Unlocked my iphone screen (go to your icons page from your battery/clock screen) Right click on Blackra1n and Run as Admin Clicked Make it rain As soon as iphone goes black I held POWER & HOME buttons. When APPLE logo comes up on screen I let go of POWER and kept holding HOME Screen will go to picture with itunes and USB cord, kept holding on to HOME until the Blackra1n picture appears. Hope this helps anyone else! -
Btw, for those of you getting stuck on Recovery Mode, if you have the "Quickpwn" program on your comp, open it and it will tell you to exit recovery mode to Hold power & home for 15 seconds, and then hold power for 2 seconds.. it turns the phone off and restarts normally w/o going back to the stupid recovery mode.
I think you might have to have the program though, I tried to repeat this w/o the program opened and it wouldn't exit Recovery Mode.
... if it's any help I believe the QuickPwn I have is Version 2.2.5-2 . I had this program still installed from when I jail broke my 3G on previous firmwares. -
The jailbreak works but as soon as I restart my iPhone after installing a cracked app it starts in recovers mode. Is there any solution to that problem? Maybe the jailbreak wasnt really successful?
-
Hello all help would be most appreciated. I was playing tap tap revenge with my jailbroken itouch 1st gen 8gb on firmware 3.1.2. The jailbreaking program used was blackra1n. It suddenly just went into recovery mode all of a sudden and it has been impossible to restore my itouch. Everytime i tried restoring it, it would just come up with an unknown error (28). Read through lots of forums, apple help and still to no avail. ive also tried running blackra1n in the recovery mode directly as some videos said it might work so as to reset my itouch but it always hangs once i see the guys face. Any ideas??
-
^did you manually restart or do you mean when it auto reboots/respring after installing ? Maybe you can try what I had to do wth quickpwn to get out of recovery and see if your apps function properly and download another app see if that happens again, or try holding home and power until screen turns off (didnt work for me but i read for some it does?), or just restore your phone in itunes (longer route) and jailbreak it again.
-
i format my mobile and i cant restore it and i dont have att sim it always says error 13 can any pls help me

wow it jailbroke before i even realised! amazing :)

I have a new iPhone 3gs 16GB with 3.1.2 software w/o a simlock. I've succesfully(or maybe not?) jailbroken it with blackra1n rev2. There were no problems during the jailbreak process, but now every time I restart my phone, it gets stuck in recovery mode. I have to run blackra1n again to make it work. Is there any solution to this problem?
Today I'm going to borrow a Macbook and try to do a jailbrake with PwnageTool 3.1.4 - I hope it will solve this case. -

WOW WOW WOW! Loveeeee it! Thanks a lot to everyone here especially to George Hotz. Was very skeptical about JBing my iPhone but did it yesterday night and it was done in 5mins. Then downloaded Cydia via wifi and did many many wonderful things... soooo happy!
Windows Vista 32 + iPhone 3G 3.1.2
I restarted both PC and iPhone first then; put blackra1n.exe file into C:/ folder. opened itunes slid “slide to unlock” so that i was on home screen. ran blackra1n.exe and it worked. Did not stop any processes in task mgr whatsoever.
Still running fine this morning.
Thanks in advance.
I will go drop some donation to George! -

Hi "the dhoodster"
Glad it all worked out. I am very careful with my expensive toys so I read up on almost everything before I began. And even had my fingers crossed while JB-ing. ha!
Isnt it great? My iPhone just "suddenly" filled up with apps... all of them FREE. Loveeeee it! Not to mention opening you phone on the metro and having another user gawk at it not knowing why your GUI is different from theirs. ;) -
wow this is great.

BUT now i all of my itunes apps dont start...

For those with a 3G getting a black screen stuck on when it's supposed to reboot to Geoff's pic. I found that leaving itunes open, and killing off "ituneshelper.exe" in the task manager made mine go through first try, as it's supposed to. Also copied/ran it in the local disk, as admin, but w/o itunes open it wouldn't go AT ALL past the black screen, regardless of how I ran it, or how many times, would just sit there for a long time on bs, and eventually just turn off.

@John (Post #1)
Hey bud i also have a 2G iphone, i really want to update my iphone to version 3.1.2 without it locking back up (im using T-mobile as my carrier) and my iphone is currently version 2.2
so can anyone please help me? i want to use blackra1n so bad but im not sure if it will lock up my phone. anyone please help me!! -
Can someone please help, i use blackra1n rc3 to jb my 3gs, everything is working fine with cydia and so on,,, but when i try to restart my phone i just can start it again without connecting it to blackra1n or itunes, it shows me the cable and the itunes logo, any idees?
-
How do I take the programs I downloaded from blackra1n once it's on my phone already off?? For example i dont want the programs MyProfiles, IntelliScreen, Backgrounder, Cydia, and biteSMS, so how do i take them off my iphone??
-
To reboot your iPod you have to reboot it, by going back to blackra1n as if you're jail breaking it again
-
so i used blackra1n and it works fine but my ipod touch 2g will not lock when i press the lock button any ideas why?

@Ann (Post #401)
Go to Cydia
Go to "Manage"
You can delete whatever you want there.
Hope this helps. -
Ann - In order to remove Apps/Programs installed on your iphone, you can do it one of two ways. 1. You can open Cydia, then click "manage", at the bottom right corner. Then pick "packages", Then you can search alphabetically for the apps you want to remove. After you find the apps you dont want anymore, click on it and it gives you the option to reinstall, or remove.
2. Search for a program in Cydia called "Cydelete". Once installed on your phone, you can remove apps that you got from Cydia just like normal apps. The X's on the icons will just be another color.
Hope this helps. -

-
I have the new i touch 8GB 3.1.2 how can i jailbreak it?
-
my iphone now isnt showing ipod and phone and other applications that i REALLY NEED!!
-
Ok i have read all of the instructions, and the jailbreak did work but when i shut off my phone it goes right back to the connect to itunes screen and it makes me use blackra1n again. Is there a way to fix this? I have used blackra1n on my 16gb 3g and it worked fine but on my 32gb 3gs i have the problem noted above. The 3gs is 3.1.2 and the 05.11.07 firmware..
-
What about 3gs users with the old bootrom before apple released the new one? Do jailbreakers have to worry about the reboot process of connecting it back to the comp to run blackrain again or are they good to go? I know you have to do the tether when you have a new 3gs with the new bootrom but was curious about the old bootroom. And those of you that do have this problem, to check your bootrom from a mac put your iphone in DFU mode and run system profiler and it should say what bootrom it is. If its prior to 359.3.2 then it is the old bootrom and according to other websites should work fine without tethering the boot, someone please confirm. ponemnk@gmail.com

Hey for those having trouble try this: IT WORKED FOR ME when I was getting stuck "entering recovery" point
Ok people I found the key to one eyed willie. For those getting stuck on running in blackra1n with the phone showing the usb connector and itunes do this. 1. put blackra1n on c drive 2. turn compatibility mode on. Vista users put XP. Xp users put windows 2000. 3. run program and hit make it rain. The program should get stuck on entering recovery mode at this point. 4 with the program stuck on entering recovery mode, hit power and home on the phone to turn it off. Leave the phone off. 5. close blackra1n. turn compatibility mode off. run it again, hit make it rain 6. turn iphone back on. wait for it to jailbreak. I’ve now done this on 2 iphones that wouldn’t work the way the normal directions state and it worked like a charm. Give it a try -
I have an iphone 3g 16 gb. PC with Windows XP.
I tell them what is my problem:
Upgrade to 3.1.2 with iTunes updates.
Movistar Argentina I’m not interested Gazette and release (although they deserve it because the attention is malisima but it is another topic)
so the iphone still goes perfect.
I Jailbrek with Blackra1n rc3 perfectly and I miss the GPS locate me. PushMail youtube and wrong.
Restore the network configuration. And the gps still reach me.
Install push fix, as I had suggested and nothing.
I went back to restore to 3.1.2 and no jail, works perfectly.
Thinking the problem was Blackra1n, I jailbreack restoring in custom firmware, those that already have the Cydia, and again the GPS locates me.
I searched the internet and some say it’s the time change and a mistake that Movistar Argentina, but I when I blackra1n probe and release, with a chip
another company and I did not locate.
The Temne is that I would like to install tomtom have a gps like people, but with this problem the program did not locate either.
I hope someone knows who goes and if you have any solution.
Thank you very much

i have just used the program blackra1n which is an awesome jailbreak program. it did it in less than 15 sec. now that it is done i have tried to get winterboard and it will not show at all on my springboard... Is there any1 out there that knows why and or how to fix this problem? THANX ALL
-
Now I've tried blackra1n three times for my iPod Touch, version 3.1.2 yet it won't work. I start the program, comes to the part where it says Done, wait for reboot and then the screen on my iPod stays black. And when I turn it off and on again, then the blackra1n drop isn't there.
What's going on ? -
try the site redmondpie.com
it has great step by step instructions for everything. i used blackrain for my iphone 3G running 3.1.2 and it worked perfectly. i now have tons of free cracked apps and no issues with any part of my phone. george now has the unlock and jailbreak for any version of iphone or ipod on all firmware and check for updates for any issues you might run into b/c there's already solutions to dl in cydia for them! -
i forgot to mention for those of you using windows vista or xp...do NOT change the compatibility to winsow xp. i tried installing blackrain about a dozen times and it would be stuck saying "entering recovery" and id have to restore my iphone over and over again. i finally unchecked the compatibility just for the hell of it and sure enough i had blackrain in about 5 seconds. despite what the instructions say...if it doesnt work that might be why.

UNCHECK the COMPABILITY WITH WIN XP and it will run (if u use vista or WIN 7).
-
If you have a 3G ipod touch and the model number starts with "MC" then Blackra1n won't work.
-
omg! easiest jailbreak ever! love it thanks a million!
-
Does this work for ipod touch 2g 3.1.1 OTB never jailbroken before?

-
awseome!
-
I HAVE A SOLUTION TO THE WINTERBOARD PROBLEM!!!!!
make sure you leave blackra1n running when you do this
when it asks to reboot just do the power cycle yourself by holding down the power button at the top and when it reboots you get the Itunes and ipod plug picture but don't worry! just plug in your ipod and you should see the developers face again, it will continue to reboot and you have all your stuff still including winterboard!!! -
it dont at all damn blackra1n i have watched vid after vid and it keeps doing the same thing i have a itouch 32gb 3g and i get everything downloaded it looks fine i go to download something rebot it go's to restore mode i have it hooked up to the usb like they say i have to but still it does that and i lose it all if you can't help i got two fingers for blackra1n and it's not peace

Hi.. i'm new to iphones, but i bought a 3gs iphone recently which worked on my country and a different country too which means that it's unlocked, it had a 3.1 software then i updatetd it to 3.1.2, but it doesnt have the cydia from the begining.. i read about jailbreaking and the blackra1n programme and i tried it several times.. i reach to the point where the blackra1n appears on my iphone and i open it and install the cydia from it, and everything seems to work well.. but when i switch off my phone or when i need to reboot it after a programme everything goes wrong. becoz when i on it, it asks me to connect it to itunes and when i do it asks me to restore it and it returns it back to all the original settings as when i bought it..so what do i have to do and what it the solution?? and another question: if i got the cydia, would i lose it again if i updated the phone next time? and how would i keep the applications from cydia on my computer for future backups??
i would be so thankful if someone replaied me with clear explanations =).. waiting ur replay -
How do you download the Appulous thing to download the apple apps for free. I had my ipod jailbroken before with a different program, so i was just wondering if i can find this somewhere in this jailbreak or is there like a different program that does this that is used on blackra1n? any help would be greatly appreciated.thx
-
I used this software on my ipod touch 3g....and it worked:):):):):)
-
was recently inundated with this problem. You should be getting the 0xE8008001 Error.
The solution is this.
Hope this will help any of you.

-
Hello please help. I have done this all perfectly on my FIRST GEN iPhone. Yet I cannot seem to find a programe on cydia to unlock it for my T-Mobile sim card. Help would be appreciated.
-
It did work. I totally love the app. For everyone who's isn't working, retry the process again. it should work. if not on the first time, then sure on the second. it worked fine for me, and now I'm loving my IPod to the extreme. Jailbreaking does make you lose all your apps you've downloaded and music, so be sure to be ready for that(you could always just sync them back in or re-download them again) My Ipod version is 3.1.2 ;].
-

Hi,
I jailbreaked my iphone 3g version 3.1.2 with firmware 05.11.07 using blackra1n. Initially iphone rebooted and it showed geohot pic and then after reboot it showed blackra1n icon on the iphone. Being a dumb guy and not knowing the difference between jail breaking and unlocking the iphone I uninstalled blackra1n immediately assuming I unlocked the IPHONE. After that I ran blackra1n 50 times to unlock it, but I am not able to see blackra1n icon (Does not know how to install Cydia or ra1n) with out this. Almost spend 15 hours on this. Please help me how can I fix this problem. Thanks in advance. -
This took 2 minutes on my 16G 3Gs!!! Awesome!!!! My donation is on the way!

No matter how many ways or times I try to Jailbreak/Unlock my brand new Iphone 3GS, I get the msg "Different SIM detected: Please connect to ITunes" when I put my TMobile SIM in. Here's the steps: I used blackrain per the instructions without ITunes running. I hit make it rain. Everything looks good like its down loading. I enable my wireless on the phone and launch the blackrain icon on my phone. I install both Cydia and snow. Everything appears to install ok I swap my ATT sim with my TMobile sim and get the above error msg. I can make and receive calls with the TMobile sim in. The weird thing is when I receive a call, it is as if my contacts are loaded because the persons name appears that is calling me. It also recognizes that it is a TMobile sim by the Tmobile at the top left hand corner of the phone. The extra things I have done to try to make it work.
a. Restore the iphone using ITunes then started the process all over again.
b. Repeated the process with 3G enabled and disabled
c. Tried to install Blackrain with either the Sim cards (Tmobile or At&T) and with none
d. After install of snow & cydia with At&t sim, removed Sim, did reboot then installed Tmobile sim Here are the particulars on my phone: Version 3.1.2 (7D11); s/n 32946 (1st 5 #s); model MC123LL; firmwre: 05.11.07
I am doing this from a Windows 7 machine -
I have a 3g iphone and i had not problems downloading the jailbreak. however I can not run any of the apps that i have downloaded from the app store i can push the button and see the app start for about 2 seconds. will i be able to run my apps from the app store and the apps from the jailbreak? Please Help. thanks
-
Hi, i want to remove this jailbreak from my iphone 3.1.2 can this be done???
-
Hi, I am planing to jailbreak with blackra1n... will i loose my contacts, games, pics, apps?? I have an iphone 3g, 8gig, running 3.1.2, firmware 05.11.07... PLEASE HELP
THANK YOU!! -
I got this to work perfect, even downloaded the Appsync 3.1.2 which works as well...
Everything is ok until the phone is switched off and back on again. It shows the "Connect to Itunes", which then asks to restore.
It is obvious that this only seems to work on the older iphones as I have tried everything.
I have the
32Gb
3.1.2 (7D11) firmware original (1 weeks old)
Modem Firmware Date: 05.11.07
Does anyone have a solution on this problem as there does seem to be loads of users having this very same problem.
I can confirm I downloaded the ipsw from the link, and everything does install without any issues....
Including installing all the ipa games and apps.
It's if I switch off the phone I have to do all this again, which is time consuming and I loose data saved in one of my apps for mileage and business logs....
Hope someone can advise...
Feel free to email me at junkit01@yahoo.com -
THIS ALSO WORKS FOR IPOD TOUCH 3G, YOU ONLY NEED TO TURN IT ON WITH BLACKRA1N WHEN YOU TURN OFF YOUR IPOD.. NO PROBLEM FOR ME CUZ I LEAVE IT ON ALL THE TIME, BUT THIS WORKS PERFECTLY.. IPOD TOUCH 3G OR IPHONE 3G/3GS PROOF!! WORKS LIKE A CHARM IN LESS THEN 5 SECONDS ON PC, AND LESS THAN 15 SECONDS ON IPOD/IPHONE..
-
KC And A - I have the same problem as you, i can jailbreak with no problems. Install Cydia, app sync etc with no errors. But everytime you switch the device off and on the stupid itunes logo and USB appears. Now the only way I have found to get the device back on without restoring it to original settings is to connect the device up and run the blackra1n again.
It should then keep the current settings and apps etc and you can continue as normal. What I want to know is there a work around for this excpet:
1) leaving the phone on 24hrs a day
2) reconnecting to blackra1n everytime reboot the device
2 of my mates has got the same iphone as me 16gb with 3.1.2 but there ones work like a treat (without the rebooting issue)
I read somewhere that most recent iphones has had the bootrom software changed and that stops blackra1n working with it (hence the bootup problem)
Is there or will there be something to stop the reboot problem?????? -
I'm having this problem and would like to know if someone knows how to fix it. I have an iPhone 2g jailbreak to 3.2.1 using blackrain. It works fine but it shuts downs for no reason if you let it wihout toching it or if you unplug it from the charger. The battery is fine but that's the only problem. please help!!
-
Blackra1n does not create the afc2 service needed by iphonepcsuite
You can install the afc2add program in Cydia to add the service. Just search for it in Cydia and install. -
haha far out, how stupid r some people. jb in about 10 seconds. workn perfectly now. btw mines a ipod touch 3g 3.1.2.
-
I'm currently using the Iphone 3GS 3.1.2. I jailbroken it and the downloading and the rest of the apps usage seems normal except when I restart the phone manually, it requires me to connect the iphone to itunes. So, I'll have to use Blackra1n again and it resumes back to normal. I had the exact problem as 'KC And A' mentioned above. Please advice me how to deal with this problem.
-
hey is it possible to jailbreak this at all..any program out there???and btw any1 has wifi probs with the itouch
-
ok, i was stupid and accecdently deleted blackra1n app. I went back to blackra1n.com andwent to put the app back on, and it did all its normal stuff, my ipod (3rd gen) rebooted i went to my apps and the blackra1n app wasnt there,. I tried like another 10 times and it never came up. mi fren is also tring to use blackra1n (2g) but the app wont come up on his either. plZ need help comment if any ideas TY!!!!
-
thanks for the JB. this is amazing. I have a 8gb 2g and I had to upgrade to 3.1.2 to get a certain app. I was scare at first but it work out brilliantly. I left itune on running in the background and I guess it really worked.
-
just used blackra1n on my iphone 3gs, got cydia installed and everything, but it's so weird that diskaid says my iphone is not jailbroken. how is that possible? i don't understand how it is, because i need to get to the root folder but can't due to this
-
hi, i have a ipod touch 8gb 2nd gen
i follow the instructions and it work well however after rebooting it doesnt go straight were it should be and it's prompting to hook it up to itunes to restore.
i tried several times. hope they can do a remedy on this problem.
thanks -
I download everything right, get blackra1n on my computer, attempt to run, and thats where the problem occurs. It says QDFC.dll not found. Not sure what the means, but if you know, please help.
-
Couple of quick notes for people who are having trouble:
0 - Highly advisable to run it on stock iPhone (not Jailbroken etc)
1 - Restart computer. Close all program (MSN, AOL etc). If possible your browser as well (especially INTERNET EXPLORER)
2 - If you are HACTIVATING (using BlackRa1n to activate) - TAKE YOUR SIM OUT OF PHONE!
3 - When running Blackra1n on Vista or Windows7 , put comptability mode as "XP sp2"
4 - If hacktivating: Add wifi network. Download cydia + snow. Install them. Restart
5 - Put sim in. Enjoy.
[Make sure you have .net 2.0 framework installed] -
Also
3b - If you don't see icons after jailbreak. Unplug (keep sim out). Then reboot completely -
I have the newer boot software in my 3gs 16g it sound like. I install everything but if I reboot or get winterboard it is stuck until I restore the phone. It sucks. I read this whole forum and wasn't sure if anyone had a solution or not..??
I read about the afc2 but I am not sure that is going to help this problem. Can someone please explain more clearer? Much appreciated -

Hi All, I need help i have 3GS with 3.1.2 jailbroken with blackra1n, however, Cydia logo has disappeared suddenly, but everythig works fine except battery not more that 11 hours. please help Thanks
-
It worked for my iphone 3g but i tried jailbreaking my old iphone 1st generation os 3.1.2 and it didnt work. The picture came up, blackra1n said it was jailbroken but when it says i have to hook it up to itunes, what'd i do wrong. Help please
-
For those of you who are stuck in recovery mode after you press "make it rain", just rerun blackra1n and it should jailbreak your ipod. I tried it using ipod 3rd gen and macbook. Good luck!
-
U no how it says that don't update to 3.1.2 if u want to unlock it? War if it already is cuz I bought my itouch yesterday
-
tried it on windows vista & didnt work, on mac it did
-
He should make it so that you do not even need to plug in your iPod touch you should beable to do it over wifi
-

Guys, need your help. I installed blackra1n and it unlocked my iphone - very nice so far. Now, every time I reboot my phone then it shows me the image where I should connect to itunes. If I run the blackra1n then it unlocks again and everything is fine, but of course I cant continue doing that ... so what is the solution for this ?? thanks
-
hi i done every smoothly, but when i got to the installing of cydia it said 'timed out', i dont understand whats wrong can you please help me out. u can contact me on jasonn.9@hotmail.com, thanks.
-
Every time I run blackra1n, it stalls on "entering recovery." I reboot my iPod, and every time it says my iPod is in recovery mode now, and iTunes won't recognize it. If I try running blackra1n again, it gets stuck on "waiting for device" I have to restore 3.1.2 each and every time! What is going on?
-
it wont work for me it just stays on the connecting to itunes screen on my phone. im running on Windows7 too?
-
how come no one's answering if it works on iphone 2g
-

-
Hello I have been having alot of problems getting my iPhone 3Gs jailbroken I was really hoping you guys could help. Everytime I click make it rain it goes into recovery mode then I see geo. Everything seems to be going just great I'll down load cydia. Or rock. But as soon as I restart or reboot the phone it goes straight to recovery mode!?! But the weird thing is when I connect it back and make it rain again it goes right back to everything. But if it gets restarted same thing all over again. I don't know what the heck is going on. I have 3.1.2 if that helps. Thanks so much guys!!
-
For iphone 3gs, running 3.1.2 with latest bootram "improvement" by Apple, you can only do a tethered jailbreak until either Hotz or Dev Team manage to find a way around the obstacle deliberately planted by Apple.
In the meantime, the only other solution is to just leave your iphone on all the time. I don't see any reason to ever switch it off in the first place, unless you are flying (you can just switch off so that you cannot receive signals from carrier, but still leave it on like a pda)... -
i had no trouble making it rain with my ipod even though its using 3.1.2 but after i shut it off and then turn it on it asks to be connected to itunes like when i first turned it on after i bought it so i did the recover thing itunes requested me to do and the blackra1n app and rock aren't on my ipod and neither are any of my other apps and the problem is still happening has this happened to anyone else and how do i fix it? thank you for leaving any suggestions
-
@Grant McNulty. You didn't have to run the recovery as requested by iTunes. Just run blackra1n again. If you restart your ipod you have to run blackra1n everytime. I just avoid restarting.
-
@ek9 and Jul: I've jailbroken a 2g touch. Just need to make sure you are upgraded to 3.1.2 or you'll brick it (which I did)
-
Question about apps. When I download apps using appcake or intallous they disappear when I sync. Am I missing a package? I install Appsync in cydia.
-

Like some of the people here, I had issues installing blackra1n.
When I ran the program, it would show the picture of the cable and the Itunes symbol, but would not do anything other than say it was in recovery on the PC.
I disabled compatibility mode and it worked first go in seconds. Might be the solution for some people. -

Okay, I've been seeing similar problems, but nothing I can quite identify as mine, so here goes... Blackra1n, it installs fine. Geohot's picture, recovery, reboot, on. No problem, the icon's there, I can run it, it's good. But, it's when I turn my iPod off then back on that it goes into recovery mode. Anyone know what that's all about?
-

-
How come no one is attempting to help with the problems people are complaining of? Is it because yours works perfectly and either you refuse to believe there could be a problem, or you don't give a damn because, hey, yours works, why should you care? we need help, so help us.
-

I am having the same problem as jodsterbhoy, has anyone found a way to fix this problem? I read on a post that you should reset your network settings with airplane mode set to off, and when you reset it should work but that didnt seem to work either. Any help would be much appreciated as this is really starting to wear on my sanity.
Thanks in advance. -
Sorry thee problem is after blackrain is installed i get a message please check your internet connection...
-
Hayley what version of windows are you running? Usually it involves right clicking on the app in question and then properties=> compatibility and then its really easy from there, just uncheck the option
-

Why does my iTunes keep resetting my iPhone 3GS right before it's about to finish completeing the JB?? It has done it over and over now. Is there a way i can make that stop?? I'm on an iMac by the way
-
Hi people! I hav an 3g iTouch 8gb and i've tried like 100 times to jailbreak it but doesent works. But, to the people that got stuck on the blackscreen or recovermy mode, i hav the solution without restoring it.
Blackscreen: hold POWER and HOME together until u see the apple logo.
Recovery mode: enter DFU mode by pressing POWER and HOME together 10sec then keep pressing ONLY HOME for 6 seconds. After u enter in DFU, jsut restart ur iphone/ipod bye holding HOME and POWER until u see the apple logo.
So for me the jailbreak didn't work so i would appreciate if someone could help me.
Thanks! -
Oh and one more thing... i don't have wifi. My friend has wifi and his ipod is jailbroken verry fast and eazy but mine=FAIL so please help!

Please Help Is There Anyway To Jailbreak Ipod Touch 3.1.2 3g Without Blackra1n Because When My Ipod Restarts It Says I Have To Plug It Into Computer For Itunes And Then Deletes Everything After Restore ... Btw Restore Is The Only Thing I Can Do After It Has Been Restarted Someone Please Help My Email Address Is tabby4135@hotmail.com Its Really Starting To Annoy Me Thanks In Advance :) xxx
-
i found out that you should not turn your ipod off, tht would cause it to recover , i think you supposd to keep it locked. buh i have a question , will it go to recovery if the battery dies , i need a reply plz and thx alot
and a another noob question , if your touch is locked can it still lose battery life ? -
this is a normal problem the reboot issue every time the phone or i pod shutsdown or the battery dies you have to run blackra1n agin to reboot it
-
I think the reason a lot of questions aren't being answered is because people find it difficult to help people who fail to read what has been stated at least 10 times. Apparently there is no way to keep blackra1n on your 3g ipod after you shut it down/power it off. The only way not to have to re-install is by keeping your ipod on. This has been stated several times. If you don't want to have to keep installing the app after reboot don't use this app until a more lasting version has been developed. I'm not sure why the other questions haven't been answered. I've never jailbroken anything but I know one can learn alot by simply reading. Good luck all.
-
i have already broken my ipod and am tethered. it died on me and i had to use a mac to re-ra1n it. blackra1n says that it was a sucsesful jail breaking and all that nonsense, but it does not show the picture like it should and then reboot. it just continues with the plug into itunes picture. help?
-
Ok, so I've been trying to install blackra1n on my iPhone 3GS (running 3.1.2) for the past 2 hours, and my phone just kept getting stuck on "entering recovery." I restored my phone probably at least 10 times, and it still wouldn't work. I just FINALLY got it to install, and it was really quick and didn't give me any trouble. :-D
What I did:
1. Turn off iPhone
2. Unplug iPhone from the computer
3. Run blackra1n (it will say "waiting for device")
4. Plug in iPhone
5. Wait 20-60secs, done
Hope this works for at least some of you. I had installed blackra1n when I first got my iPhone a few days ago and it worked perfectly, but I don't know why I had so much trouble after restoring it and doing it again. Works now, am going to play! :-D -
Hey I jailbroke my iphone 3gs in 30 seconds and it also unlocked my network settings so it automatically jumped from 02 to Vodafone.ie (IRELAND) but if i switch my phone off i have to jailbrak again using blackrain otherwise it will not reboot? any idead, excellent jb!!

Jailbroke my iphone 3GS recently purchased with the latest hardware and software (3.1.2) in about 30 seconds. Just have patience. Took me two tries, the second time I waited for a while before doing anything, even when the computer or iphone look like they hung.
No regrets on the tethered reboot since I leave my phone on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year... -
Does Blackra1n work for the 3rd generation ipod touch version 3.1.2?
-

-
Haley, right click on blackra1n.exe on your desktop and hit properties. Go to the compatibility button along the top and uncheck run this program in compatibility mode.
-
I have a first generation 8gig iTouch.
I restored it from the old jailbreak i had, so i could use blackra1n. i get to the "make it rain" button, press it, then it says its going into recovery mode. my itunes recognizes this, then tells me that i MUST restore my ipod due to it being in recovery mode before i can do anything with itunes. so i'll have finished the jailbreak, but my itouch is useless cause i HAVE to restore before i can get to the home on my itouch. WTF IS WRONG WITH IT ?! -
I have an iPhone 3GS and I have jailbroken it with blackra1n. When i open the iphone,it goes on recovery mode and I have to conect it to my pc and run blackra1n.exe
What should I do to skip the connection? -
does this work if your Ipod2g is at firmware 2.2.1? It is already jailbroken with QuickPwn like a year ago.
-
just got my 2g to jailbreak, after many tries. i kept getting stuck in restore mode. the last time i closed blackrain and reopened it, hit make it rain again and it worked. goodluck to all.
-
kritonpc - nothing you can do except wait for someone (either dev team or geohotz) to get around the latest bootrom. meantime, don't switch off your phone. if you do, make sure you have a pc near you so you can start blackra1n again.
this is called a tethered jailbreak. -
hey id like t but i cant pay cuz i dnt have a crdit card is there any way around this
-
If you care about other people plz read this message. I have 2nd gen and keep installing program it says done reboots then no push icon found anywhere on iPod.

Hi ppl,

Can anyone help me? -
i hav a 32 gig ipod ouch. 3.1.2 firmware right out the box and i think its 5.11 baseband. blackra1n only gives me a tethered jailbreak. my friends 8 gig is the same thing when wwe try. i want to be able to turn my ipod on and off when i choose. what should i do?

-

-
why does it keep saying u have to reboot your phone not just respring??? how can i reboot it?? every time i try it goes into recovery mode..
-
I wish I could get as far as some of you. I downloaded Blackra1n for my mac and can't even get the program to start. I've shut down my computer. Deleted the program and downloaded it again on countless occasions. I thought maybe it was because I was still using 1.5 Leopard, but I just recently upgraded to the lastest Snow Leopard and have still gotten no luck with getting it to even start up. WTH is wrong?
-
10.5* My bad
-
I tryed to download blackra1n but the program kept closing and I tryed the jailbreaking before on his laptop and of corse some kid came up a ripped the cord out which completely wrecked my iPod, so now we restored it and there is a little battery percentage number there which is odd. But if you could pleas help me, that will be great.
-
yup. 3.1.2 still not work for 3g :)
-
I have Ipod touch 1G, 3.1.2. tried to jailbreak it with blackra1n and its not working, when i start process it shows on my ipod screen picture connecting to itunes, and nothing going on later :( so every time when it didnt work out i have to restore my ipod with itunes again. Why it`s not working???
-
I have a Itouch 2.2.1 and I pressed "make it rain" on my mac and my itouch stared to reboot witch I think is normal. Now my Itouch rebooted, Itunes comes up and says "you have to restore this itouch if you want to use it but then my itouch gets to the unlock screen and itunes notices it and registers it like it usually does and nothing has changed. My friends 3.1.2 iphone had a guy in black rain pic on his screen when he did it but i didn't and when his rebooted he had an app called blackra1n. What can I do?????PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
If theres anyone that has the "entering recovery" stuck problem follow these steps:
1: put blackra1n.exe in C: or ur main hard drive
2: press ctrl+alt+delete and open the task manager
3: go tothe processes tab and close anything that has to do with apple, ipod or itunes.
4: run blackra1n from c: as administrater and it should work
NOTE: i had itunes closed and the home page on my ipod was open (not the lock screen but the screen after u unlock it) and im using ipod touch 3g with 3.1.2 firmware -
ok ive read lots of storys so im guessing that iphone 3gs with 3.1.2 will not jail break very easy with blackra1n????
-
i have 2 ipods one is a 2nd gen and the other is a 3rd....both with 3.1.2 and i used blackraain to jailbreak them, they were both fine for a couple days, on my 3rd gen i installed a program from cydia and it had to reboot, i did that and it went into recovery mode, i had to restore it and i re did it a second time and installed winterboard...my ipod rebooted like it said would happen, and it went back to recovery mode...can anyone help me out?
-
Chris, rerun blackra1n again. There is no need to restore the iPod unless you are getting rid of the blackra1n jailbreak. When the iPod reboots, it will always appear saying to connect to iTunes. just plug it back in and run blackra1n on your computer. Everything should be the same.
-

RICHTIG HAMMER LEUTE!Ich hab vorher so viel scheiß probiert wie quickfreedom und so aber das ging ja innerhalb von nen paar sekunden danke leute!
-
God, this is what you want it to do. Wait a little longer and if it doesnt boot right, shut down the ipod, wait 5 seconds, then turn it back on. If the Connect to iTunes screen comes up, rerun blackra1n and hopefully it will work right this time.
-
my ipod jailbreak blackra1n really fast. less than 10 seconds, but the reboot take like 40 minutes and is still not work.
1) i tries to restart my ipod by holding down home and power
2) I has restore my ipod to it factory setting which is 2.2.1 3

my ipod is rebooting by itself y
-
My friend turned off my iTouch after I jailbroke it. i tried to rejailbreak it as I was told to when this happened. So I tried but the jailbreak no longer works. I get a black screen other than the dude on my ITouch. PLLLLZZZZZZ COMMENT AND HELPPPPPPPPP MEEEEEEEE
-
Nick: If you read previously, you need to rerun Blackr4in with your ipod connected (essentially, you need to re-jailbreak it, kind of). Then click "make it rain" again. Because you have a tethered jailbreak, you need to do this every time you turn off your itouch. So don't turn it off if you don't need to, or have a computer nearby!
-
I have tried to jailbreak my iPod touch 2nd generation with the softwar/firmware of 2.2.1. I have not been able to jailbreak it yet. all that happens is i push the "make it ra1n" button and it goes into recovery mode, as noted, but once it says congrats... blah blah blah... wait for reboot, it will NOT reboot even when i run it again.
please help -

I've tried both pwnage an blackra1n and they both don't work for my 3Gs on 3.1.2. I'm a MAC user but that shouldn't make a difference. After blackra1n I see the screen shot of the many iPhones then my phone goes into recovery. It's very annoying. So far, balckra1n has worked for everyone but me. Please help.
-
Just run again, some iphone 3gs need to run 2 time blackra1n to work....
-
ok so ive been jailbreaking my ipod since day one on almost every single version. i've jailbroken my 1st gen when i had it and my second gen and many others> its usually easy for me but recently i got a 3g for my birthday and tried to jailbreak it on 3.1.2 and it says that it was successfully jailbroken and then the screen reverts back to the restore screen, which restores it to factory settings. does this jailbreak not work for the 3g itouch? and is there any way to fix this problem.
-
Does Blackra1n work for the 2nd generation ipt with software 2.2.1? or do you neeeeeed 3.1.2?

Question
I was able to jailbreak my new 3gs running 3.1.2 (7d11) with firmware 05.11.07 using blackra1n. I realize this is a tethered jailbreak. Is anyone working on a resolution to the tethered jailbreak that will resolve having to rerun blackra1n once you power off and back on the phone. Everything else is fine, its just the fact that if you have to power off the phone or the battery dies, the only way to get the phone to boot back up ist to rerun blackra1n. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. -
Its been acouple of day now since i use blackrain to jailbreak my phone ,i go to use and its askin me to connect to itunes how do i fix that. My phone runs slower now can anybody help me

Hi I have not kept up with iPhone unlock/jailbreak so please bear with me.
I hesitated to upgrade due to the difficulty of unlocking and jailbreaking iPhones after 3.1 came out. I stayed with 3.0.
I currently have an unlocked & jailbroken iPhone 2g and am using Windows.
Here is my question:
Will Blackrain be able to unlock (or keep it unlocked) my iPhone 2g while jailbreaking it? Thanks in advance! -
Will it work on ipod touch 2g mc model? i know that it wont on ipod touch 3g mc model, but what about 2g mc?
-
Mine is MB i think, least thats what it says why are they all differnt?

I was having some trouble getting BlackRa1n RC3 to work with my iPhone. I tried 5 times and kept having to restore the phone with iTunes. Finally got it to work and wanted to let people know what I did to hopefully save people some time.
Turns out that the new apple iPhones still run 3.1.2 but now its 3.1.2 OOB which has an upgraded iBoot which fixes the iPhone bug that allows Jailbreaks to be persistent across restarts.
1) Run Jailbreak. For me this would briefly show a restore screen, then a picture of GeoHot, then the iPhone would restart and again show a restore screen forever. This is where I gave up before and restored by iPhone.
2) Don't restore yet. BlackRa1n should have had an alert popup saying that it was done and the "make it rain button" will have become a grayed out "done, wait for reboot". With you iphone still plugged in go up to the file menu and quit black rain. Then reopen Blackra1n and the "make it rain" button will reappear.
3) Rerun Blackra1n (your iphone is still in recovery mode) the same process will occur again but this time it should reboot back to a working iPhone.
4) Follow the other tutorials to run BlackSn0w and enable tethering etc.
Note: on these new iphones with 3.1.2 OOB the iphone will go back into restore mode on every reboot (pressing the top sleep button for 3-5 seconds) the only way to fix this is to tether your phone and either rerun BlackRa1n or Restore with iTunes. This is definitely not ideal so consider carefully whether jailbreaking your phone is worth it. -
I downloaded and installed blackra1n for my ipod touch 3.1.2 but after i selected what i wanted to install and shut it off. Now, when i turn my ipod back on it is stuck on a screen where a usb icon is pointing to an itunes icon with an arrow. What do i do to fix this? My ipod is useless and won't turn off the right way. I tried to what other websites said, but when i open itunes it does not reconize my ipod when it is stuck on this screen. Please help me.

I’ve got the 8 gb iphone 3g. It’s version 3.1.2 and has the latest firmware 5.11.07. When I run blackra1n everything works fine, it reboots, I get the restore screen, and I see Geohots face. However, once this is done I don’t have the blackra1n app on any of my screens. I’ve tried every method I saw on this comment page and have had no luck, any help would be great.

I have managed to unlock my iphone 3G and am now using an Orange sim card, but it never keeps the signal, worked fine on the original o2 sim, now I get signal sometimes and mostly I don't unless I take out the sim, put it in my old phone and then put it back into the iphone! Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?
-
when i downloaded this i wen to the blackra1n app and downloaded rock and cydia like it told me too and restarted it, now what do i just pop my simin and it works or what?
-
ya like my name says i dont think that its worth jailbreaking the ipod because it doesnt have any good games. although there is a large amount of other apps that may be worth the while to jailbreak for them. TO ANSWER A LOT OF PEOPLES QUESTIONS, YES THIS JAILBREAK DOES WORK FOR IPOD 1ST GENERATION AND YES IF IT HAS 3.1.2 AND ITS 1ST GENERATION IT TAKES 1 MINUTE THE MOST.
-
yeaaah!
-
CRAP SUCKS IT BROKEN IPOD TOUCH IT WONT CONNECT OR RESTORE
-
@Somanza I've noticed the things you said, and the ipod turns back on. But the problem is that, everytime you turn it off, it goes back in recovery mode.
And then you have to black rain it out again. -
Hi all,
I have freezing problems also and tried runing it at as normal not under sp2 and not as administrator and this worked a treat. hope this helps -
I get the jail break just fine but when i download something like winterboeard i cant get our of recovery mode , anyone know what to do at that point ?
-
Okay now this was interesting. I was trying to use blackra1n to jailbreak my iPhone 3G 3.1.2 on Windows Vista and it kept hanging on the USB/iTunes icon. I was following all the steps to a T. I switched over to my laptop running Windows 7 and did the exact same thing and it worked. First try!
-
yeah..easiest jailbreak ever using blackrainn
-
I want to jailbreak properly iphone 3gs(ver:3.1.2)...
Can anyone help me out plz... -
Blackra1n is really something great. I used it on my newly purchased iPod touch and it turned out to work very well. My itouch is decked out and all it took was about a minute just a minute of watch geohot do his thing. I was sure about the whole jailbreak thing at first but it turns out to be something that people are really missing out on. Try it and if possible make a donation!
-
I´ve got a problem with the blackra1n. I have the first generation Ipod, with the latest version of the software (3.1.2), and I run the blackrain, the "drop" icon of blackra1n appears in the screen, but when i sincronise an aplication, i just don´t see the icon. The itunes tells me that the operation has been succesful but I just don´t see anything. So I restored the ipod, did everything again, and I can´t see the icons of the applications i transfer. I can assure that with the other version the ipod was just fine.
-
FOR ALL YOU THAT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CONNECT TO ITUNES LOGO THAT WONT GO AWAY READ THIS:
if you have a 2nd gen or possibly a 3rd gen (not confirmed yet) that you have jailbroken, if you use blackra1n on the 2nd gen it WILL work, BUT if you install cydia or rock or anything like that, YOU CANNOT, REPEAT CANNOT POWER DOWN YOUR ITOUCH!!!! THIS IS WHAT PUTS IT IN RECOVERY MODE!!!
its a major bug that hackers are unable to fix, and after the first gen jailbreak came out apple fixed this breach in the 2nd gens coding, so if you power the device down it will crash.
HOWEVER putting it in standby by clickin the top will not affect it, you still have a jailbroken itouch. So the down side is your ipods on 24/7, but its still jailbroken. -
ggggaaaaaayyyyy

ive just read that iphone OS 4.0 is out on jan 27th...what happens to my 3.1.2 jailbreak then? is there a way to update my blackra1n?
-
I had the problem where I set the theme but when i hit the home button the theme didn't set it just went to the original theme. I fixed it by syncing my ipod, then rerunning blackra1n, WITHOUT resetting my ipod then it just worked... i really hoped this worked!!!
-
Slim Shady: i have a touch 3 g. v. 3.1.2 and i CAN power it down without crashing but only if i run blackra1n in compability mode for windows vista sp2 and as administrater!

I've tried many times to jb 3Gs (3.1.2). I face 2 problems here:
1. if I connect to itune via cable, the phone goes into recovery mode automatically if I power off the phone and on again, it goes into recovery mode as well. There must be somtheing I missed during the jb. Any help would be great. (I am running widows 7) -
if power off the phone ang on again, it goes into recovery mode as well.
-
I've got a weird problem. Can't tell if others have the same issue. Since jailbreaking, I can't have both my iphone (3G with 3.1.2) and my desktop on the wireless network (Airport base station) at the same time. The IPs are different, but it doesn't matter. I can have one or the other, but not both. I've reset, rebooted, everything solution people have offered for others, but my problem remains. Anyone else know?
-
download afc2add through cydia to get pc suite to work.

I got the same problem as SRH2008 does anyone now solution for this problem? I have 3Gs (3.1.2)

but the other 2 dont work whats up with that???? -
I installed blackra1n on my iphone along with snow, cydia, and rock, and my battery life plummeted ridiculously. I was losing literally 1% of my battery about every 2 minutes, and the phone wasn't even doing anything. I have wi-fi turned off, push set to every 1 hour, and tethering turned off. I didn't install any Cydia or Rock apps. Just a clean, vanilla jailbreak. Is anyone else having this problem? I can plug the iPhone into the dock (with the screen locked and off), and the charger is having difficulty just keeping up with the contant drain (it's taking twice as long to charge as it used to). What the heck would be causing this? Is there any way to find out?
-
Quick follow-up: I also did a complete network reset from the settings menu (and even deleted the tethering config file), along with a hard reset (completely powered off and then back on), but that didn't fix the battery life problem.
Any ideas? -
Okay I have a problem.... I jailbroke my 2ND GEN IPOD TOUCH with blackrain, downloaded cydia install0us installd patch and still i cant get the friggin IPA files to install it sais they are invalid.
And my other question is what is this difference between a JAILBREAK and an UNLOCK. thanks for ur time hope someone will answer my question correctly. -
My iPhone 3GS has crashed and will not come back on. It stays on the Apple screen and that's it. I just recently jailbroke my phone using Blackra1n. Please help.
-

I have a few questions.
(info: New iPod Touch 3g on 3.1.2 software, running iTunes 9.0.2.25)
I just cracked my iPod with blackra1n, then have been downloading apps through installious, and have appsync installed as well. Everything has been running fairly smooth... until I have to restart my iPod. Each time i restart my iPod it gets stuck in recovery mode and I have to restore it, losing any downloaded apps (appsync doesnt seem to be working :/ ?) Do I need to download a different crack for it to work properly? My friend has a 2g touch on 3.1.1 and his is working fine... I've been searching the web for hours but cant find anything, and would really like to not lose my apps i already have too if possible. Any suggestions?
(e-mail is dline86@hotmail.com if you want to reply there too) -
yo its simply awesome this program tanks a lot for it =)
i used on my itouch 2g and it works great =) -
i am having the same problem as spencer is and i dont want to lose all of my appps and have to re sync them because the ipod keeps going into recovery mode. somebody please tell me what to do?!?!?!?!?!?

-
I was having the problem where it gets stuck in recovery mode after showing the guys face. To fix this, I just ran blackra1n again while it was in recovery mode and things worked great.

Iphone 3GS 16GB Worked like a charm on 3.1.2 much faster than quickpwn Thank you....
-
i cant find my icy on my ipod touch 2g 3.1.2 when i used blackra1n
-
Ok guys listen up, I have 3 iphones 2 3g 3.1 firmware and one 3gs 3.12
ok i used blackra1n on my 3gs and it worked fine apart from having to connect to a pc with blackra1n and itunes installed everytime i boot, i then next ran it on both of my old iphone 3g`s with 3.1, again worked fine and can reboot both devices all fully jailbroken. The strange thing in this is that the 3gs iphone (3.1.2) now works with orange as well as o2 but not tmobile ot virgin or vodaphone and just one of the 3g ones works the same way too, but the other 3g iphone on 3.1 wont unlock at all it says on the phone differnet sim found and asked to be connected to itunes when connecting it itunes refuses to regiister phone and says contact carrier, but whats more interesting is even though when unplugged from the pc and the screen shows emergancy call only if you ring the orange number from another phone the iphone then rings and allows you to answer the call ? its life its unlocked but the screen or phone thinks that it isnt how strange anyone any ideas.... -
The website doesnt work anymore for some reason!!!
-
I jailbroke my iPhone 2g/ it was working fine then all of a sudden it rebooted and i cant get to my contacts, phone, messaging, or settings!!!!
-
1 the website does work clear your cache in IE, and 2 your iphone is most likely in recovery mode with itunes running and the phone plugged into your pc`s usb run blackra1n again it should sort it or if that fails restore your old backup
-
i gave up on blackra1n... i used redsn0w and it worked just fine... now i do have to run a tether each time i reboot and i have a 2nd gen ipod touch... but my model starts with a MC so it only can run tether.. i dont know if that would have made a difference in blackra1n or not...
-
Ok, if there's no way to keep my info after each reboot then i dont think the hack is worth it... Is there any way to make my 3G Touch go from 3.1.2 to 3.1.1? My friends 2G touch works perfectly on 3.1.1. Is there any way to do this, cuz I would love it so much if something actually worked for me for a change ;)

-
well tony, you wont lose all of your apps but you cant turn off your 3GS after you jailbreak it cuz it will make you restore it and then you have to re-sync everything!
-
you guys asking questions from Jan 13th till today are idiots
if you read the Somanza's comments there have been some answers
"Turns out that the new apple iPhones still run 3.1.2 but now its 3.1.2 OOB which has an upgraded iBoot which fixes the iPhone bug that allows Jailbreaks to be persistent across restarts."
some iphones released after October have a different iboot that is what blackra1n was circumventing, so some of you retards think you're more clever than others because you got the patch to work but it's just a question of the iboot load in your phone, all you other people shouting help, learn to read the comments, and most likely wait for OS 4.0 and a new crack -
That was amazing!
Jailbroken in one step with no problems, i didn't even have to restore!
Thank You! -
Why is it that everytime I use cydia or rock my Ipod touch wants to restore? Everytime it restores, blackra1n, cydia, and rock are gone. All I want to do is change the background for my Ipod touch. By the way, my Ipod touch is a 3rd generation. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Question anyone...after jail breaking the ip3gs it wants itune everytime I do a hard reboot? It's that screen when you need to do a restore. why?? how do I fix this???
-
well first you have to turn it off. then you have to turn off yo computer and delete all memory from both ipod and computer. the reason why this is doing that is because your ipod and computer is retarded, one, and two, that means it will self destruct when you fully jail break it
-
Please help, when after I turned off my 3gs with blackra1n and cydia. I can't start it again without PC and blackr1n.exe, which is really troublesome. Please help.
-

Hello Guys,
Please help me clear my doubt.
Iam using unlock iphone 2g with 2.0 firmware.

2. Will my phone be locked? If yes than how should I unlock it?
3. How about my current data on my iphone?
4. I have itunes 8.0. should i upgrade this also first?
I may be sounding quite basic questions but your help in detail would be highly appreciated.
Also for yr information Iam fm India and have bought the phone from the grey market.
Thks in advance. -
The interesting fact is, the 3g does not have that problem, it will in fact reboot without going to recovery mode after jailbreak, our DAM 3gs phones have the problem!!!!!!

I hope geobot is reading this!! -
Hi i have jailbreaked my iPhone 3GS yesterday and it was all fine and I did realized that it never connected to any WiFi so far even though I had it enabled. Prior to jailbreaking I had updated my firmware from 3.1 to 3.1.2 and updated carrier settings too. Since my WiFi is not working I reseted my network settings. Now it is struck at apple logo repeatedly while going blank in between after sometime. Please help me.

is there a way to disable this tehered stuff??? -
blackra1n garbage tried like 4 or 5 times and it always gets stuck on done, wait for reboot never reboots any suggestions
-
I have the same problem with many people above. I get crazy with the iTunes & USB cable screen. Plz help!!!
-
Blackra1n will only work for you on an iTouch/iPhone if you did NOT update to the new Apple update of 3.1.3. This changed the firmware so if you try to use blackra1n it will just make the screen black on your device and it will not allow you to jailbreak it no matter what.
You will have to basically wait for a new jailbreak program to be released which should be within the next day or two so just keep an eye out if you already accidently updated!
The other thing you can do is see if you can find firmware 3.1.2 from google for your generation device and just download it and press Shift+Restore on iTunes to use that instead of the new 3.1.3 update -
my wifi doesnt work i cant pick up signal anywhere
-
hey i jail broken my friends ipod third gen it worked until i rebooted the iPod because i was downloading winter board. it said i need to plug the iPod in to Itune so i did and it said that i need to restore it can u tell me what i need to do to get it to work.

DAG,
make your gunnah have to restore it becasue of an error so go to the website where you download firmware and download ipod 1g(3.1.2) make shur its that virsion and not 3.1.3 , 3.1.3 cannot be jailbroken, so itunes>hold shift>click restore>look in browser that pops up and find yur 3.1.2 firmware, now you will have it all updated now open blrackra1n and if you have windows 7 or vista right click blackra1n and go to properties and put in in capability mode but if you dont have windows 7 or vista then dont click it opr it wont work ive made that mistake b4. Now click it and let it do its thing and 1g isent tethered so once it duz its thing it will take a couple minutes to boot up -
does blackrain work with the update 3.1.3 yet it says done wait for reboot but the phone doesn't reboot after it ive left it for a half hour and still nothing anyone any ideas whats up?!!!!!

i jailbroke my iphone 3gs 3.1.2 for the 1st time last night and everything went perfectly and all of a sudden it crashed outta nowhere and is now in recovery mode and my only option i see is to freaakin RESTORE! is there any other options! plz help me !
-
ok for all those who were havin the same issue as me (IPHONE IN RECOVERY MODE/SCREEN SAYING CONNECT TO ITUNES NO MATTER WHAT) all u need to do is "make it ra1n" on your iphone again. [jailbreak it again] exactly as u did the 1st time. and it shall reboot with the blackra1n logo guy on your screen and WALLAAH back to normal. but as a precaution after seeing all the worried faces including mine we need to back up just in case. =) have a good one !
-
ok, i jb my ipod touch with 3.1.2, which is tethered, so every time i reboot it i have to rerun blackra1n again, so i did a little experiment, i reran blackra1n on my vista, the chances of it being successful is about 3/10, or 30%, but on a mac, each time i reran it, it works 100% of the time
-big difference, so if u guys are having problems, try it on your mac if u have on
do any of u guys play eliminate if so add me- wardoc22
good luck -
I'm following every tutorial i see but it everytime I try this my Blackra1n says entering recovery and it wont do anything else...i turned everything else off i ran as admin. i tried everything but it still wont do it its an Ipod touch 3g on firmware v. 3.1.2 but i just cant get it to get past the entering recovery part.
-
so i try to get my itouch out of recovery mode with blackra1n and the program just crashes idk whats going on but i really don't want to loose everything i have on my itouch...

I tried jailbreaking my new Iphone 3GS 32g with firmware 3.1.2 (05.11.07) with blackra1n.
During jailbreaking my iPhone was stuck in recovery mode. I was trying many times to restart blackra1n. And also I did try to restore with iTunes to 3.1.2 ,it's giving me every time the same message "This device isn't eligible for the requested build". So i stuck I recovery mode. Can u help me please, what I shoul do? -
Whem ever i run blackra1n it says my ipod is jailbroken once it reboots,but mine ipod never reboots...what do i do?!?!?
-
I accidently updated the firmware on my newly JB iPhone 3g to 3.1.2 and then it just shut down and wouldnt allow me to do anything....
I soon found out that i needed to downgrade my firmware, but many people were saying that it is not possible to do so, as apple has stopped signing 3.1.2 restore files...
I persume this means that you cant get hold of that file, but if you visit this website http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ it will give you a selection of firmwares to download...
follow all instructions on this website... then, i found the following website... http://www.ihackintosh.com/2010/02/downgrade-iphone-2g-3g-os-3-1-3-to-3-... i found this link very usefull, follow the instructions on there..
When prompted to restore on your itunes, do the following. hold shift button and press restore find your previously saved firmware click open and wait for it to run once this has done, run blackrain (or similar) and away you go...
this worked for me. -
um it never reboots for me
and i have some tips for u guy, download it from the ofical website www.blackra1n.com, and if u guys have a mac, do it on a mac, like i said, it always work for me on a mac, but on a vista its a different story -
also do any of u guys play eliminate, if so add me, wardoc22

if u want to keep your 3G jailbroken, u should keep the firmware u have now
if u make a backup, it will just restore your backup and your mail, but not the game saves and stuff, im pretty sure bout that.

You do need to plug it into the computer and rejail break it when its an ipt2 to boot. Soo best thing to do is that when you download anything on Cydia and it sais to reboot device, dont click it. Hold the home button until it goes to the main screen and just respring it. Its worked for me and i havent had to re connect to the computer again.

Ernie, if you read carefully, nearly all blogs are saying "DON'T UPDATE TO 3.1.3 IF YOU PHONE IS PREVIOUSLY UNLOCKED"...
I guess there is no easy way to reverse it as the new firmware upgrade comes with a baseband update as well..you'll have to wait for a new release.. -
My Iphone will not boot after a successful jailbreak with Blackra1n?
I used blackra1n on my ipod touch as a test and it worked no problem, then I go to jb the iPhone 3gs 32gig. It goes through the process no problem. Enters recovery, shows George Holtz picture, then computer received the notice that the jb was successful. Only now the iPhone will not boot up again. I cant turn it on no matter what I do. Holding power and home at the same time don't work in this matter. Itunes comes up and says the iphone is in a recovery mode and only gives me an option to restore, I will not restore and lose my 8 pages apps and 20 gigs of music. I cant get that stuff back. What can I do? -
i wish it will work
-
by the way, if i do end up restoring this will i lose my unlock? mine came factory unlock out the box in thailand. it was never hack unlocked. i guess i'll worry about all that after i get this piece of crap to turn on. i cant even boot it up yet and cant figure out how.

what should i do?
do you know any good website for programs?
tnx -
Okay seriously now, I don't care that I lost everything. I just want the phone to turn back on. I tried the restore and after it verified with apple it says The iPhone can't be restored because it's not eligible for the requested build. Has anyone else had their phone shut off and fail to reboot after attempting a blackra1n jb? There is nothing I can do to get this thing to turn on. As mentioned earlier it is a 3gs factory unlocked out of the box from apple, it had 3.1.2 on it. I just bought the damn thing 2 months ago and since it was bought factory unlocked without a contract it was about $900. I'd hate to just have to throw this thing away :(
-
okay so i just installed blackra1n on my computer and clicked make it ra1n.. but its been here for about ten minutes and nothing is happening. it just has the recovery screen on my ipod. what can i do? -.-

WARNING: Do not update iPhone 3g & 3gS to 3.1.3 firmware yet if you want to preserve your Jailbreak/Unlock for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPod touch 2G (new models) and iPod touch 3G. This is because the new iPhone 3.1.3 firmware updates baseband from 5.11.07 (unlockable with Blacksnow) to 05.12.01 (currently Unlockable) on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G which makes it impossible to jailbreak and unlock iPhone 3GS and 3G. -

I just jailbroke my 3GS using blackrain and erupted in laughter. The program is a single executable with one button to click. The jailbreak took 20 seconds, and most of that time was the phone rebooting. Apple’s iPhone empire has been completely crumbled by a kid!
Blackrain takes jailbreaking to the mainstream, because it requires no special work. Plug in, execute, click button, done! -

Hey you CAN JAILBREAK 3.1.3 now (well its not really but its more like time travel for your ipod touch/phone). First Download the 3.1.2, And (obiously your probably running the 3.1.3) so in itunes go to the screen where it says restore and YOU MUST HOLD SHIFT key while clicking the restore button, you will be promted to browse for your firmware, look for the 3.1.2 and you can downgrade to it soo you can jail break it. This also works for what ever version your downgrading to.
-
Ok...I am having trouble also with downgrading my firmware on my ipod touch 2nd gen from 3.1.3 to 3.1.2. I did exacatly what Lance said to do but when I hit the restore and shift button I get a message that say's....."teh ipod Roger's ipod could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatable" What gives I have a copy of 3.1.2 firmware that I downloaded and saved to my desktop...Can anyone please help me?
-
when ever i "make it rain" it works and the window that says it works and it just has to reboot comes up so i click okay and it reboots thenit starts syncing with itunes. after it is done, i look for the blackra1n app but its never there, i have tried 4 times and none of them have worked. i also realized that when it is "running" the picture of george or whoever that freaky guy on the blackra1n website thats supposed to come up on my ipod screen, it doesn''t it just has the pucture of the usb cord and the itunes logo, does that have anything to do with why the app is never there??
-
Alicia,
I'm just like you also. Since yesterday i have not found much info regarding the problem you and I as well as alot of people are having...everywhere I go I get the same thing...just wait. Now there are vids on youtube that show you a hard way to downgrade 3.1.3 to 3.1.2, but man is it hard. I just wish something comes up soon....I know one thing I won't ever update my firmware again until I "Know" things are ok...good luck!! -

I posted a couple of week ago that I was not able to downgrade my ipod touch 2nd gen. Well I did it just now...jailbroken and all with blackra1n on my Ipod. Here is the video on youtube that I followed...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kljGhczatWU. Now the point is most of the videos out there are good (I'm not taking away from that) but most of them are for IPHONES not IPOD TOUCH. They will say that it's for all but it is not!!! Go to this site to make sure you have the firmware for IPOD Touch http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ (your version of course). Again follow the video EXACTLY and it WILL work. Once done run blackra1n and your good to go...semper phi -

Hello, i have an Iphone 3GS 16gb (3.1.2) and i jailbroke it using Blackra1n... the problem is that every time i restart my Iphone it goes into Recovery Mode and it need Jailbreak again... any ideas please??
thank you. -
OMG!
THIS FREAKIN WORKED! Kid, you are indeed a GENIUS!
Thank You So much!
Now,
Let me explain why this is NOT working for some of you. You MUST have been previously jailbroken. You should have your ECID saved already on Saurik's server. Follow the above instructions to the letter. You must be persistent with BlackRain AFTER the restore. You should be patient with this entire process. Loading and restoring takes time. And, YES this does indeed work! -
Original21,
I had the EXACT same problem after my restore. This is where Step 4 above comes into play. I ran several copies of BlackRain at the same time! Then, as an act of desperation I decided to load Itunes AND Blackrain at the same time and guess what? It worked!
Good Luck! -
i am really sorry to ask again but what do mean my saying "LOAD itunes and blackrain at the same time" the terma "LOAD" is i dont understand..what do i have to do in itunes?
:S
thank you for your replies.. -
i own a 64gb 3rd gen ipod touch and have successfully jailbroken it with blackra1n.
now here's my dilemma.
when i enter the blackra1n app i gives me the option to download either cydia or rock. say i choose cydia (problem occurs with either installers) it seems to work at first and when it finishes downloading it says "respringing". once reloaded the cydia app i nowhere to be found.
what's going wrong here?? -
I am in the same boat as minh guyen

I just used Blackra1n to jailbreak my 3gs, in the process all apple related icons/apps are gone off my phone (Maps, contacts, Ipod, mail, calculator, etc.) is there anyway to get these back?
-
does blackra1n work on ipod touch 3rd generation 3.1.2 32g's???
-
I have an iPhone 3G. I connected my phone to iTunes and it updated my iPhone to 3.1.3 without my consent! So I downgraded it to 3.1.2 using blackra1n. But the baseband cannot be downgraded, so I got 05.12.01.
My phone shows "No Service". This hasn't happened before the jailbreak (this SIM card is the one which goes for this phone and don't need to unlock). But I am unable to phone or text. Also my GPS doesn't work anymroe.
Can anyone help? -
I don't believe that 3rd gen iTouches work with this....
It starts one step and stays there for hours doing nothing, i think this was only designed for iPhones...=/ -
I have 3gs 16gb I jailbroke with Blackrain but it would not install Cydia, now the phone is constantly stuck in recovery mode and when I TRY TO RESTORE it goes all the way and then at the end gives me a 1604 error code and I cant get out of this cycle! Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

So I jailbroke my ipod touch with Blackra1n and it worked awsomely! But now my sister is bugging me to jailbreak her ipod Touch (8Gb, version 3.1.2) I've tried many times and when it's done and I disconnect the iPod from the computer it works but when I turn it off and then back on again it says I have to sync it to itunes and when I do it restores it and it isn't jailbroken anymore. I always jailbreak it the same way i did my iPod. My sister got the iPod around January 2010 if that changes anything. If anyone could tell me what to do that would be awsome! Thanks.
-
Hi am new to the jailbreak thing and I have not jailbroken my iPod yet but I really need to jailbreak that's why I've got questions. If I jailbreak my iPod touch and update it a few days later would it brick my iPod or would it unjailbreak my iPod? How can I jailbreak an iPod touch 1g v3.1.2 without a pc? If I jailbreak my iPod would I still be able to download from app store or even if I download would it unjailbreak my iPod touch? If I jailbreak my iPod then where can I get apps that iTunes restricted. I hopefully need help on my questions any answer would be appreciated. Tanx

jj n jt:
prolly too late but anw u could dl the firmware for 3.1.2.. but make sure ur iphone is not upgraded to 3.1.3
u will require shsh file in order to let ur iphone operate on 3.1.2 as apple now stop signing for 3.1.2.
google abit n u could dl the shsh file. many says u require the shsh file being backup n load to cydia server, but u could find n dl the file if u happen to find those with the same ECID with u..
google abit to find out how to locate your ECID, n den dl umbrella, to search for ur shsh file.
hope it dun sounds too confusing -

this blackrain thing doesnt work for me because after i click the windows logo it say save file run and then something else pops up and wont let download it and the pops the make it ra1n and the say looking for device and then say that there is problem and waiting for solution but nothing happens when i close it the whole thing just closed
-
Dears,
If you got a problem running black ra1n “The program can’t start because ASL.dll" this is because you are using the latest version of Itunes 9.1.1.
All what you need to do is to copy blackra1n.exe file to the following location at your PC
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
then run it from their and it will work.
I tried it my self last night. -

Great info on cell phone unlocking. I like cellular phones and work at a little cell phone shop where we unlock phones and mod them for people. Add http://free-cell-phone-unlock.com to your list of free cell phone unlock sites, I use the downloads there a lot to help me unlock phones for customers, don't be mad but hey I have to make a living some kinda way!! lol.
Anyways, I figured you could use that in your bag of tricks too :-) -

Alright, I can't use Spirit, and I don't know anything about this stuff. After many hours og Googling, you guys are my last hope!
I know I have an iPod 3rd generation, 8GB.
I have Windows 7 home.
-I tried BlackBreeze to fix that pesky ".11" crap, to no avail, it's still saying "blackra1n-fixed1.exe has stopped working" the SECOND I click the "Make it Ra1n" buttoN!!!
-I downloaded iTunes 9.1 after reading 9.2 doesn't work, no avail.
-I moved BlackRa1n to my local C disk and did the task manager thing where you end all the Apple&&iTunes tasks so they can't stop it, no avail.
NOTHING WORKS!
I BEG of you to help me! Pleeeeeeeeeeeease!

can you teether with jail broken iphone????
-
@ all u guys who HAVE blackra1n, have already put it in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support, and its STILL not running... u hav to start the program FROM C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
I.E. after u copy the program to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support, double click on it's copy INSIDE OF THE FOLDER ITSELF
Hope this helps.... check out YOutube, there r a lot of good jailbreaking tutorials over there... -
BTW at all the guys asking, U can lose everything on ur iphone or ipod touch if u jailbreak straight away... it all depends on ur firmware... im not sure what firmware my own iphone is at because when i updated to 4.1, it crashed... now im stuck with an unuseable iphone, so im trying to jailbreak it....
i strongly recomend a) backing up your iphone before doing ANYTHING, and b) having a copy of ur current firmware already downloaded...this helps if u lock urself out of the phone and get stuck on the "Connect To iTunes" screen. Or, once u've downloaded the firmware, try using redsn0w -
LOl, i post 2 uch...
@ every1 who gets "Cannot find ASL.dll, here's what u do:
a) copy blackra1n
b) paste the copy in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support ( open this from My Computer )
Start blackra1n AGAIN, and if it dosen't work still, double click the shorcut from within the Apple Application Folder itself
hope this helped... -
Tried it just to see for once what it is like to jailbreak an itouch, but DANG IT, something went wrong and now my itouch is in recovery mode (aka The "Connect to Itunes" screen of Death), tried to restore it, but no luck. Now I need a solution to fix it and make it like it was the way before, anyone got any solutions (W/o making matters worse..)? I knew jailbreaking my itouch would be a bad idea,but I took the risk and now regret it. -_- (WHY...) Anyways, if you need to know: its a 8gb 2nd generation iTouch version 3.1.2, updated once from itunes since I got it.
Any help would be appreciated.
NOTE TO MYSELF: DON'T JAILBREAK itouch AGAIN !!!! -
