Geohot has done it again! BlackRa1n Jailbreaks all iPhones!
October 11th, 2009
George Hotz aka GEOHOT, the teen known for unlocking the first iPhone has come to the rescue of us 3GS owners. He has released BlackRa1n (Windows only at the moment). BlackRa1n is a super simple jailbreak tool that jailbreaks all iPhones on 3.1 or 3.1.2, including those out of the box. The big deal here is that the iPhone Dev-Team wasn’t able to crack the 3GS security, so had to delay their tool for the 3GS and only released their PWNAGE TOOL for the original iPhone, and the 3G.
Even those owners couldn’t jailbreak if they had updated to 3.1 via iTunes, so unless they were on 3.0, or 3.0.1, they were out of luck.
Well with BlackRa1n, it’s all gravy, just plug your iPhone in to your computer, fire up BlackRa1n, and wait! Worked great for me, and gave me Cydia, ICY, and ROCK.
WARNING FROM GEOHOT:
WARNING: Even though the GeoHot jailbreak supports 3.1.2 do not update if you are on iPhone OS 3.0.1 or 3.0. You will lose your unlock. Use PwnageTool to safely update to 3.1 without performing a baseband update. If you really must have 3.1.2 then wait for the next version of PwnageTool. If you have already updated to 3.1 or 3.1.2 without using PwnageTool then you’ve lost the ability to unlock for the time being. You can now use BlackRa1n to at least regain your jailbreak
