iPhone 3GS - Jailbreak Released

[Argi]

I'm holding off on this patch cause of the apparent issues but the author is right about one thing – there's no reason for the dev-team to hold their finished tool until after 3.1 (which could be 6 months away still).

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

In the video demo from Dev Team, planetbeing said it'll likely come out at the same time Apple releases 3.1. I doubt it will be 6 months away, especially when others are creating apps to jailbreak it now.

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

still nothing for us on Mac OSX unfortunatly :/

[dazzy2004]

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.

kinda lame not being able to use winterboard right now, but im still happy with it :)

I can't believe I'm about to reinstall XP on something to jailbreak my phone...lol

[dazzy2004]

[dazzy2004]

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

itunes keeps popping up everytime purplera1n puts it into recovery mode :@

[t0mbi]

Any word on jailbreaking a ipod touch 2g with OS 3.0 yet?

[The Patri0t]

People are actually selling these guides on eBay!

lol

and guys are foolish enough to actually pay for it instead of a simple search online first :D

[evo0o]

I'm still not convinced, dev team please do your magic :D

Don't run iTunes when you're doing it, it's not necessary for it to be open.
