All iPhone 3.1.2 Jailbreak Tool blackra1n for Windows Released

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.

DOES THIS UNLOCK AND JAILBREAK THE 2G ON 3.1.2???????

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

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/se
