Download Blackra1n to Jailbreak iPhone 3G, 3GS 3.1.2 & iPod Touch 2G, 3G 3.1.2

I tried jailbreaking my iphone 3g with os 3.1.2 on it, but it does not work. I restore my iphone to 3.1.2 as a new iphone and then i open up blackra1n while my phone is still on. supposedly, the blackra1n picture should appear on the iphone as the recovery picture, but the screen which says i should connect to itunes.
has anyone gotten it to work on a 3.1.2 iphone 3g?

This doesn’t work with ipod touch 3g 8gb

@IDEV 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.

So, ive tried everything. From running from admin to guest, to test users with no admin rights to test users with full admin to everything user wise. Didn’t work. Then I tried stop all programs include applemobiledevice, AVG, Firewalls, etc. Now it won’t pick up my phon when i turn it on. Restart computer to get it so it finds my phone. Then I turn on after blackra1n is started, before its started, during the process, everything, it gets stuck in running… and the conntect to iTunes (usb pointing to cd) logo is still on and doesn’t stop. I even left it running all night. And When i came back it said something about starting recovery mode again. I am lost. Ive read 100 websites all with semi similar process, turn on airplane mode, turn off airplane mode, stand on your head and kick the ceiling while one hand plays the piano and the other touch’s yourself.
Nothing. Can someone, anyone, give simple, step by step directs that are 100%? Cause ive had about enough.

I got a iphone 3GS FW 3.1.2
It does not work for me neither.
I ran blackrain .. saw itunes icone, then a message box said everything’s done, wait for iphone to reboot and choose your installer.
In fact my iphone never reboot.. i had to forced it to reboot hence once done.. it was still like before.. not jailbreaked

it works to my iphone3g..
i tried it about 5x then it works

This is not working on Ipod Touch who has a Model Number starts with “MC”

Hi can i know if we ever UNinstall blackra1n, will it be back to the same before installing?

Will the warranty be voided if i Uninstall blackra1n?

umm i want to download it for free where do i go can NE1 help ..plzzzz????

No solution for iPhone 3GS.

Thank you George Estephen. I recommend following his steps, i did exactly what it said.
1. Turn off Phone
2. Click “make it rain”
3. Hold Power and Home Button
4. When apple logo comes up release Power button and continue holding Home.
5 When Blackra1n background comes up release Home button and a message should pop up saying the jailbreak is complete.
6. Wait for reboot and your phone will have blackra1n Icon

Enjoy

Thank you so much Dave!!!

Follow those instructions he posted, they work perfectly. the thing is KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON EVEN WHEN YOU SEE THE ITUNES/USB SCREEN!

hey i was following your instructions but i keep getting suck at entering recovery mode in blackra1n. the itunes symbol and usb plug stays on the screen no matter how long i keep holding the home button.
its an officially unlocked 3G iphone running on the 3.1.2 firmware.

any help?

does the iphone restart from scratch or are all you apps and contacts saved and return the phone to the way you had it???

reason i ask is because have trouble backing up iphone
gives message itunes can not back up because can not be saved to computer??

i have a iphone 3gs on the 3.1.2 fw and i bought it online from the apple store meaning it is factory unlocked.I was wondering if i jailbreak it using the blackrain program is it will ruin the unlock?

I have an iphone 3G…tried different instructions…finally watched a youtube video…works for Vista
1. plug iphone into USB cord (make sure you run BlackRa1n in XP compatible..go to properties and select box)
2. run blackra1n
3. wait for it…literally..forget all the other prompts if it launches itunes
4. it will reboot and blackra1n is now installed
5. click on blackra1n icon and install cydia..
you’re done
make sure you already have 3.1.2 installed and itunes library updated before starting step 1.

GOOD LUCK!

In order to get a succesfull jailbreak on 3.1.2 you have to restore your iphone go to itunes and do it but make sure you do or save the back up so that when u had complete the jailbreak you can restore your iphone To the way you had it

idk if these questions are already here but when i jailbreak it how do i know if apps are actually jailbroken also isnt it supposed to delete current apps?and finally how do i know if apps r free?i have ipod touch 2g 3.1.2 any help???

Please Help!!!!! I’m new at the jailbreak process and have successfully Jailbroke my iPhone 3GS 3.1.2 using windows vista 32bit. I’m not sure if this is normal but after doing the jailbreak I power off (reboot) and it always goes to the DFU mode showing the iTunes and the usb cable. I believe this is in recovery mode and when iTunes opens up it says that I need to restore to factory settings. I did this the first time and had to do the jailbreak all over again. I then figured that when that screen comes on I close iTunes and make it rain again and everything I did and installed is still there. Now, do I have to make it rain everytime the device reboots or the battery wastes and it powers off? Like I said I don’t know much about this so if someone can help me understand what to do or show me what I’m doing wrong it will be greatly appreciated. My email is xiyam1@yahoo.com please send an email because it will be easier for me. Your all awesome with help I’ve been getting with other issues and questions. Thanks all

can i use this on my iphone 2g???
