iPhone 3GS - Jailbreak Released


Recommended Posts

Surely devteam should release their version now? I know they had minor problems but from the sound of it they had it ready to go out the door and were just holding it back to stop apple seeing their workaround...but if thats 'public' now then surely there no reason left?

Didn't work for me running Vista 32 in BootCamp on a Macbook...

And I did put purplera1n in XP compatibility mode...

I now need to find a XP machine to try it on...lol

you have itunes installed right? and in the default directory?

jailbroke mine on another pc in our house running xp :)

everything seems to work fine right now, but when the dev team releases there version im going to do a restore, and use theres.

1. Please make sure your using Windows XP 32bit on a physical machine. not a VM or 64bit version etc... Windows XP inside bootcamp seems to work fine.

2. If you dont meet this criteria then you will get random crashing of the exe file.

3. Please make sure you have the latest version of itunes installed.

4. backup your iphone contents before even starting the process.

If your getting stuck at restore mode, do the following (written by aldude):

1. Run the app - says "Done, waiting to reboot" or something - nothing happens- you *may* get the image with geohot in the rain, but wait for about 6-8mins, if nothing happens then proceed to next stage:

2. Close the ra1n app

3. Unplug the iphone & switch it off

4. Plug it back in again

5. Re-run the app

6. Bingo - the rain guy appears on the screen. App says waiting to reboot again - this time it happened after a minute or so.

7. After reboot (& entered my passcode), new icon Freeze somewhere on the Springboard - run that, and press the Install Cydia button. Bingo.

Once you've isntalled cydia through Freeze, restart the iphone and cydia will be available on the desktop. PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL WINTERBOARD AS IT IS BROKEN ATM. for Installous add the following source: "http:\\cydia.hackulos.at"

Dureing the above process I left itunes open in the background, it will pop up randomly when the iphone is in restore mode. just click ok, but leave it running in the background.

Awesome! I just put XP on an old P4 machine I had laying around and this method worked. Thanks for the info!

I can't believe I'm about to reinstall XP on something to jailbreak my phone...lol
ya....I spent an hour trying to figur. Out how I should do it.

Just to let everyone know, the RC2 of purplera1n has been released on the website. It fixes a lot of problems and works with Windows 7 and 64-bit Windows.

Changelog:

Vista, Windows 7, International, 64-bit support

Less flakiness in the payload

Cydia tar cleaned up

Improved logging with slightly more useful errors

New kernel patches, codesign errors gone. Props posixninja

Added vm_map +x, passed vm_check

No winterboard yet, but now that ball is in Saurik's court :-)

Still in beta, use caution

Can anyone give me some details on how to use this...

The readme assumes some knoledge on how to use SSH etc...which i dont (i don't blame them, its in testing phase)

Also,

For anyone trying the jailbreak - i found it only works if iTunes is NOT open!

Windows 7 - 64bit - Iphone3gs - O2UK

    • Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.
    • That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
