Hey Everyone……..its me again…….I remembered in watching a video I googled up, on VideoSurf , that the bloke on the video had stated one of his acquaintances had remarked that you must have an active WiFi connection in order to install Cydia, Rock, or snOw from the Blackra1n JB, I live in a very very rural area where the closest free open WiFi free network is miles upon miles away, after I had completed many many restores, update reverses to firmware 3.1.2., and correctly adjusting iTunes software ( see above post) I was able to correctly JB and the Blackra1n icon appeared on my springboard, well image my ever increasing frustration when I attempted to download and install Cydia and Rock ( at separate intervals..always, always) to no avail, all processes showed as normal and the prompt appeared time and time again alerting me that the iPhone was respringing…however nothing. This is what I hope to save you from if your not aware…………..DO NOT attempt to download and install Cydia, Rock, or snOw from ANY CONNECTION OTHER THAN WiFi…..THIS WILL DO NOTHING BUT CAUSE YOU TO ONCE AGAIN RESTORE YOUR DEVICE. If you attempt to use Edge or 3G it will not work, if you attempt after, even with a WiFi connection, it will not respond with any progressive positive results. Once you have successfully JB your device and have the Blackra1n icon, do not attempt to install at any time without a WiFi connection.

To Whomever Reads and Is as Frustrated as I was………………………………..

I had issues downloading blackra1n as well, I have iPhone 3G and downloaded the firmware 3.1.2 as well as I’m sure most already have done if youve found this page. What has worked for me, may not always work for others but its worth a shot if you became as F**KIN frustrated as I…….Make sure your iTunes is set to not automatically sync, BTW this is for any OS Windows, Open your iTunes, Restore your iPhone, after doing so you will have the updated firmware 3.1.3, from here hold shift key and left click mouse on update, choose the 3.1.2. firmware you previously downloaded and click open, after the update has done its thing an error notification should pop-up and state something to the effect that the iPhone could not be recognized by iTunes, the iPhone seems to be in recovery mode, your iPhone should show the USB Cable/iTunes logo, at this point close out iTunes ( iTunes should not reopen as it has already stated that it could not be recognized) find your Blackra1n program and double-click to open the program, click on makeitrain and the program will state that it is in recovery mode, the geohot boy icon will appear for about a minute, allow this to work normally, after the reboot of your iphone the blackra1n icon should appear on your iPhone……also upon reopening iTunes your phone should also be recognized as normal…………………..I hope this helps someone else as frustrated as I was……………..

Finally decided to JB my iPhone the other day. I have 3.1.2 version. I plugged my phone in this evening and iTunes opened up showing that there is an update to 3.1.3 available now. Is this going to mess me up if I download the new version? I used blackra1n (which was easy to use) and have cydia and winterboard on my phone at the moment.

Do I download the update or wait?

Your input would be appreciated. Yes I am a newbie and I am not afraid to admit it.

Thanks in advance.

I jailbroke my 3G a week ago with blackra1n, I simply followed the instructions and it worked flawlessly. Be sure to update your OS to 3.1.2 and backup in ITunes before you “let it rain”.
Since I’m on At&t, I still get the Edge and 3G network not to forget WiFi. I’ve had absolutely no problems with mine, only wish I had done it a year ago !!!

I jailbroke and unlocked my wifes phone with blackra1n before updating it to 3.1.2 by accident so it wont let her so shes on 3.1 and it doesnt let her add some apps without updating it. Can I update it via itunes and then jail break and unlock again with blackra1n. Also will it work with a standard data package from tmobile

I have been having the same problems over and over with blackra1n saying its done but iTunes makes me restore. I eventually got it working though. When itunes was telling me to restore, I closed itunes, closed blackra1n (which still says that it is done) and then run blackra1n again. it came up with geohot’s pic and finally booted up. Hope this helps. BTW I have a 3gs 3.1.2
