Yes, this is what you've all been waiting for. A jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS. And it's awesome. To get started right now, go to purplera1n.com. Download it. Make sure you have windows(but not 7), the latest iTunes installed, and an iPhone 3GS with 3.0 firmware. Connect your iPhone normally. Click "make it ra1n". Wait. On bootup, run Freeze, the purplera1n installer app. Hopefully you'll figure out what to do from there. Best tutorial gets linked to from purplera1n site. This tool is beta. Make sure to have everything backed up before running. Also if Cydia doesn't show up after running Freeze, reboot.
If you need help email purplera1n.support at gmail and attach your purplera1n.log file. Or call the purplera1n support hotline @ (650) 265-1210 Mac version is coming shortly.
Normally I don't make tools for the general public, and rather wait for the dev team to do it. But guys, whats up with waiting until 3.1? That isn't how the game is played. We release, Apple fixes, we find new holes. It isn't worth waiting because you might have the "last" hole in the iPhone. What last hole...this isn't golf. I'll find a new one next week. Also your purplera1nyday files ensure that you can always get back to a jailbroken state, so if you have it it's just a matter of tools.
Props to chronic dev for their help, and to kroo for writing v2 of Freeze. And props to Saurik for making an awesome package set. Note the binary size of purplera1n, it's smaller than C++ hello world. No 20MB thing that needs to be torrented. And no IPSW to download. This is how jailbreak should be!

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 671 Newer› Newest»oh geohot your golden ra1n makes me so wet :)
Thank you George. Finally someone with some sence. I just made this account to tell you thank you boss man.
Thank you Geo and Chronic Dev for all of your hark work, very exciting, getting ready to jailbreak my 3GS
Thanks a lot George. Really appreciate the work you do and the hacks you come up with and i like your attitude towards the whole jailbreak/unlock scene...With love from Sacramento :-)
Congratulations!! Again and again!
Big Thanks from Brazil
I am here to say that geohot is a thief! He stole something very important of mine!
Indeed, I am not joking. George, you stole my middle name. I clearly had the name first, so please give it back ASAP. You know my email address, kthx.
You've done it again.
You're brilliant. I've been following your efforts from nearly the beginning and have been astounded at each of them. Do you even sleep?
Thanks for EVERYTHING you've done over the years, you're probably the single biggest person in the community.
I also agree that waiting to release is not the right thing to do. And Im willing to bet a new iBoot exploit will be found promptly, likely by you.
i just "donated" 10 dollars cuz ur the fuckin man
Again many thanks George, you are a star, DevTeam have lost some of there glory, you are the main man;)
Ah yeah! Thank you. Hopefully the osx version wont be too far behind (otherwise i'll try this in parallels tonight).
soo I'm having trouble with the whole after reboot run freeze. Itunes opened up for me, and I don't see Freeze anywhere..
no words !
you are ...
Greetings from India
you da man!
Maybe cuz I'm on Vista. Proceeding to try on my xp laptop.
do not see freeze. stuck on done. waiting for reboot.
This is Exactly what this game play !!!
Thank you very much George.
I don't know what happen to dev team they fear that they can't find a new hole???
Very Thank you again for your hard work George .
Dmac, I'm at the same place. What's going on, where's freeze
George, You rock thank you for your generosity!
Happy fouth
@Michael
Trying it again just did fresh DFU restore.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Cool trying it on my laptop now, ill let you know if anything changes
Freeze will be installed on the iphone after the phone reboots
Congrats!!! Real hacker thoughts "Break it again!"
So, dev-team has to publish redsn0w now cause no need to wait?
Thanks a lot George, for releasing it. I really appreciate your spirit in the cat and mouse game. Keep up the good spirit.
I appreciate your effort. I love your principle regarding the Tom and Jerry game.
But, I'm lost in your words. Will you simplify the process in steps?. Thanks.
Works great use xp not vista on vista all I got was the restore screen on xp worked perfect thanks George you are truly the MAN
I honestly don't think Apple would fix the iboot file in 3.1 anyway, as long as they fix ultrasnow to make at&t happy. They're already at 3.1 beta, like they care
@ beachwhale, thanks for the info. That's what I figured. XP Only
Question: would this hacktivate a 3gs? Yesterday I locked mine extracting IBSS and have no AT&T sim.
hi thanks so much for this! i also want to know if i would be able to unlock my 3Gs?
great!!!
i love it - you're the man
YOU ARE THE BEST.
I love your attitude towards the jailbreak.
FROM ITALY!
to unlock, i imagine you just download ultrasn0w like on the 3g. Just try it...
@Dmacpro on xp it is working for me. You know you're there when you see geohot on the iphone during reboot.
Thank you Michael, the problem is that I don't know if I'll be able to enter the phone or remain in emergency calls only. Any idea?
Has anonyone got this to work with Vista yet? I wont be able to try until I get home from work here in the UK. Kudos to George
It might work with vista but with my virtual machine it never did. so i used my XP tower. testing it right now...
Not working on Win7
Great news! But it's not working on either of my two Windows XP 32-bit laptops. Maybe a language problem? (My Windows is german). Will try Windows XP 64-bit english version now.
for those with vista just run it with windows xp compatibility enabled under the properties tab :)
it works on xp. if all you have is vista try running it in compatibility mode... but my guess is just find an xp machine because it will work on that.
Thanks so much! You're NUMBER ONE WITHOUT COMPETITION!!! I've followed you from day one since the testpoint days and am amazed and shocked at how you always manage to out-do yourself and how modest and COOL you always are. THANKS A MILLION! I've also donated on paypal. PEOPLE... DONATE PLEASE FOR THIS GOOD CAUSE!!!
Cydia is so fast! OMG this is the greatest, I'm so glad I bought this thing and sold my 3g on ebay
Sorry, Geo but this is not working on XP SP2 German language.
Next ...
GOT IT!!!!
wow doesn't work on vista huh
THANKSSSS GEORGE!!!!!!!!
wow this doesn't work for vista
dude you made it ra1n..thanks bro mad f'n props
purplera1n close immediately when clicking on "make it rain"
i'm on XP !!
plz help me , my log file is empty
George your paypal link isn't working for me, but I will donate.
Thanks again, you are a genius and will continue to pwn apple even if they try to fix this hole.
I can try it in the evening... But big thanks Geohot and Chronic Dev for your efforts. If we can support you, please let us know... Purple Ra1n, Purple Ra1n *sing*
Geo is the SHIAATTT!!! Thank you for relasing this!!
It doesn't work with windows xp sp3 italian..
I tried it with 3 pc and it crashes soon after i click on "make it rain"
is ultrasn0w working?
This doesn't work for any other OS Language except for English! It will immediatly close after clicking the button. I will wait for the Mac version and will run it on my Macbook pro :)
Thank you. You´re the jailbreaking God!!
Didn't know that iTunes apparently doesn't support Windows XP 64-bit edition. Too bad. So the jailbreak is still not working for me, crashed immediately after I clicked the button. On one laptop the last entry in the log file said "button clicked", on the other, the log was empty.
has anyone gotten passed the "done. wait for reboot" yet after they have been stuck there? Ive rebooted my iPhone multiple times and it still does not recognize it. anyway for me to upload Freeze?
I love you this was the easiest JB in the world i did it hammered well really i just hit make it rain it did the rest.
Still stuck looking at wonderful george with waiting for reboot. How long does it take?
Never mind. lol

A millions thanks to GeoHot, nice done...
ultrasnow work?
ok huge problem i installed winterboard an the iphone crashed and then went into safe mode it is now frozen
Worked!
First time I tried it, I didn't have iTunes open, and it got stuck at the purplera1n image.
Forced reboot with holding Home/Power and ran it with iTunes open and this time it ran and automatically rebooted with Freeze in the list of applications.
Ran Freeze, downloaded Cydia. Got stuck...closed it, reopened it, then it installed it. Exited Freeze, but it wasn't in the list of applications...so I rebooted and bam, Cydia showed up.
THANK YOU GEOHOT.
All on XP 32bit.
@geohot I am getting "Pairing not valid, pairing failed" Any idea?
Grrrr8 Job man!! Donated for sure.
yea, for pairing issues, sync with itunes first. or just put in recovery
@everybody, please advice: my iphone 3gs is locked, can I access the freeze app after running make it rain? Thanks
any suggestions for win 7?
@geohot any idea why after installing winterboard it akways goes into safe mode
Anyone know how to remove the freeze icon???
you csn ssh into remove it
Thanks !
I have made a news and ask for donation for you :)
iPhone soft tuto jailbreak 3GS
Well, I don't think hard-coding the path to iTunesMobileDevice.dll as "C:\Program Files\.." will help compatibility on x64 and non-English Windows versions.. That's more of an alpha, not beta code quality.
(Still pissed this doesn't run on Win7 x64)
Geohot,
you are truly awesome. You saved my wedding day tomorrow as now i will be able to record everything with my shiny new 3GS. I just donated 25USD - hope you share the money with the fellow helpers chronic, saurik and so on. And hopefully the donation money does not turn you into a 2nd generation ZIBRI ;)
THANKS SO MUCH!!!
nobody try to install ultrasn0w?thanks Geohot you are a man big respect
winterboard is crashing my phone as well
YOU GUYS TRY TO RUN IT UNDER XP COMPATIBILITY MODE. THAT'S WHAT I DID COZ IT DIDN'T SEEM TO DO ANYTHING ON VISTA.
I have latest iTunes installed, and am on 32-bit XP.
When I click "make it rain", it says waiting for device for about 1 second and closes.
Any help?
Freeze not showing up?

Geohot, is this the same exploit that the Dev Team decided not to release, or is it something you found independently?
also, the log file is empty
This is my iBoot exploit, found before dev even got the device :-)

@Oranges
Do you use an english 32-bit xp ?
If the language is other than english, it can't work. Let's hope an update on this matter.
@George: would it work on a locked 3gs? Thanks
Whatever! All I know is, I wnat the iPhone 3GS!!

FYI: I installed using Windows XP via VMware Fusion. I can tell you it works, but I needed to manually reboot the iPhone after it entered recovery mode. This may be the way VMware Fusion handles USB devices.
I won't recommend this method, but it does work. If you are not confident, just wait for a Mac version or use a real Windows PC or Boot Camp.
So once it says "done, wait for reboot" Do i continue to wait, or do I click shift+restore and open "iPhone2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore."
It would be great to have more details on what we are supposed to do after having clicked on make it rain.
It appears some have to manually reboot, others don't.
Please someone, make a walkthrough.
Yes, tutorial with screen shots, please :) Someone, anyone?
. 1. Download purplera1n
• 2. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.2) OPEN and firmware 3.0 (normally it's good) on your iPhone 3GS
• 3. Connect your device to your computer (XP or Vista, not 7 or 64-bit version)
• 4. Start Purplera1n and click the "make it ra1n" (roughly: jailbreak!)
• 5. Wait (follow instructions)
• 6. Restart the iPhone 3GS
• 7. Open the icon "freeze", then install Cydia (restart if you have any concerns)
Props to--iPhone soft
any tutorials out yet
To remove Freeze.app and it's icon, use any iPhone Disk program such as DiskAid, iPhoneDrive, etc... Delete Freeze.App located in /Applications. Reboot.
"Wait for Reboot" 17 minutes and counting. Keep waiting?
Thanks a lot Geohotz. Best regards from Germany.

Well.. I tried to exec the purplera1n file on vista 32 bit. Got stuck in recovery mode.. Any help? Can't get out of it
So purplera1n still just closes when I press "make it rain"
any suggestions?
someone find a fix for windows 7 :'(
I had to run purplera1n twice. First time, it got stuck on recovery screen, waiting for reboot. Held home+power and iphone rebooted back to recovery mode. Ran purplera1n again and this time saw the image :) Waited again and it rebooted by itself this time. Freeze appeared :)
Let's hope the rest of the process will go well.

EXACTLY!!!
Guys, first off after hitting "Make it Ra1n" it just got stuck on the purplera1n image on the iphone, so I manually rebooted it, and there was no "Freeze" app. So I'm running the jailbreak again, this time the phone is displaying the "Itunes < USB" image on it, and purplera1n is just stating "Running"
How long were you guys waiting for, before it finished? Ten minutes plus, does this mean a crash? What do I do?
Got it, Thanks
@ To the ones who made it work :
How long did it take from the connection to the Cydia logo ?
ES GEHT AUCH AUF DEUTSCHEN SYSTEMEN:

I do not have the SIM from AT&T (and I don't live in the US), so can I use this jailbreak even though my iPhone 3GS is not even Activated?
I've tried but it keeps asking me to insert a valid SIM to activate first...
thanks
Does it work on German Windows XP? THX Visit us http://iphone4ever.eu
My purplera1n crashes!! XP SP3 Portuguese. Any help or tip??
George, you are by far THEE best!!!! I'm pretty sure all of us were growing tired of waiting for the dev team to release. Then you came to the rescue. Thank you so much! Our 3GS's were pretty useless without jailbreaks haha. Anyways thank you!! Mad props.
Update: every 5-7 mins it will suddenly say "Done! wait for reboot" then the phone goes black for a second, then straight back into the "USB itunes logo" screen, and I sit staring at "Running" on purplera1n again. Seriously, any suggestions? I don't want to pull out the cable or anything incase I brick the phone

Good ! I have sent a mail to you GeoHot, but.. my question is : How to dump ECID now ? On your web site, the box for writting ECID is deleted.. :'( Please answer me !
Silver, iphonegen.fr
doesn't work on french version of windows xp 32. anyone can help me ?
CHALLENGE FOR SOMEONE SMART???
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY WINTERBOARD MAKES MY NEW JAILBROKEN 3GS ENTER SAFE MODE...
the ecid box is still there.. its just below the windows icon
Third update: Disconnected, and the phone would only boot into recovery mode. Running a recovery now, with my previously downloaded 3.0 firmware installer. Will report back here after attempting the jailbreak again.
CHALLENGE FOR SOMEONE SMART???
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY WINTERBOARD MAKES MY NEW JAILBROKEN 3GS ENTER SAFE MODE...
Maybe it's not compatible with 3GS?
Try restoring your 3GS backto 3.0 and jailbreak again. If the problem still persists, then come back and ask.
I use my iPhone with my Mac. If I use my XP laptop to jailbreak, can I then sync with my mac to get my apps back, or do I need to start again?
Thanks a ton bro and kudos to everyone who has been involved!
I Give up nobody wants to help
WIFI unstable after purplera1n?
am i the only one with the issue that WIFI seems unstable after purplerain and ultrasnow? Looses signal every 30 seconds or so :(
Now here's a problem. Can't seem to SSH into my 3GS.
Putty connects, but when I try to login, it says code signature failed for /usr/lib/libreadline and 2 other .dylib files.
ok, I had to do the rain about 5 times before it finally rebooted. I can finally say I can now install Cydia.
So at first it don't succeed, try and try again.
Geohot!! you R DA MAN!!! Thanks for staying up all those late nights and getting this done for the community!!!
OK HERE'S HOW TO CONNECT SSH THRU WIFI...I GOT IT AFTER 2 OR 3 ATTEMPS...GET YOUR IP ADDRESS.. CREATE A NEW SESSION.. PRETTY MUCH THE USUAL... root then alpine..but now how i got it to work, theres a drop box underneath called file protocol and instead of using to SFTP to log in i used SCP and got it to work let me know if it worked for you
This might help a little i also has a trouble time getting to work..
1) have itunes open
2)run purplera1n
3)press "make it ra1n"
4) wait for it to get into recovery mode
5)now for some reason it might stay at recovery mode while the program saying done, wait for reboot
6)wait a minute if nothing happens leave the iphone alone dont try to maunally reboot it
7)close the purplera1n program and re-run it all over again while the phone is still in recovery mode
8)it should now work
9) you should see the picture from the website purplera1n (where you downloaded the program)
10)bam it should reboot by it self with the app freeze in the sspringboard
11)run freeze..install cydia
12)if it doesn't show. reboot iphone
13)after reboot it should now be on the springboard
hope this helps let me know
chaos209
I noticed the dylib code signature error when I installed SBSettings as well. It rebooted and works though.
now can someone figure out why winterboard sends my phone into safe mode...Maybe mobile subtrate??? and if so how to get around this???
Was unable to restore after purplera1n reboot crash. Even DFU failed giving error 3014
I rebooted pc then tried dfu restore again. This brought the phone back and purplera1n worked fine after that. Very chuffed, appsync and all the oddies that come with it work fine btw.
Cheers George!

This is what I recieve in log and when I do recovery with app running in background get an error in itunes 'The phone iphone cannot be restored. An unkown error occurred (3004)'. Until i shut down the jailbreak app it will continue with this error. Any help much appreciated. Legend for getting this out so quick.
Winterboard also crashes for me too, only comes up in safe mode (after I hold down the power button on the top (of my 3gs).
Thanks I guess, but the reason the dev-team were waiting was because they wanted the iPhone 3G[s] released in more countries before they released right? (july 9th)
Worked for me under Windows 7 32-bit, but I had to run it twice. The first time, the phone rebooted into recovery mode. I restarted the phone into recovery mode and re-ran purplera1n. This time, I saw the image, the phone rebooted, and I was able to run Freeze.app
Eres crack! nene!
Ultrasn0W does work but its a bit flakey. It took me 3 reboots before it seemed to work. Looks like a timing issue. On a 3G if you go to airplane mode and off, the signal comes back. On the 3GS it gets stuck at invalid SIM. I am sure this is something that will be rectified in time. But for now, I have got it working on T-mobile UK
Please anybody, what can I do if Iphone 3gs is not activated and I have no AT&T Sim (outside US)?
I am randomly getting "No Sim" with T-Mobile USA using Ultrasn0w.
can this tool hacktivate? i need a restore but i'm afraid i might lose my activation. i don't have an AT&T sim and am outside the US..
Hey
I just used the jailbreak! thanks so much and i guess the dev team will have to release there jailbreak now too haha no point in keeping it to themselves as apple can checkout your jailbreak for the hole they where all talking bout etc.. with jailbreaking. hehe thanks and keep on with that hacking thing you do lol.. see ya!
Thanks
OK ILL LET YOU KNOW IF IT WORKS
Will you make the JB for Windows 7?
Amazing ! thank you so much Geohot, it works, fantastic job !! again, so many grats and thanks :)
Please fix 64bit compatibility in future update.
Congrats and well done, but it leaves me without an easy way to JB.
I will donate $15 on completion of my selfish request.
is it still recommended to get the iBISS and iBEC file? i already have the ECID from my 3GS..
I know that it is not required for this Jailbreak...but can we forget about this? or will we need it for any future JB (3.1?) and need it anyway?? thanks alot GeoHot! :)
Heh, haven't been able to get Ultrasn0w to work for me :/
im having a hard time with the last step phone still in recovery mode
Sorry, I'm in no way implying that you're not the man George, just that I haven't been able to get the device yet and thus, haven't been able to do the purplera1nyday stuff (by the way, how do I do that now, does purplera1n do it?)
antonio: I'm having the same issue. Even after my restore, I do the jailbreak, same thing happens, just stuck on the "Itunes < USB" logo. It may need another restore. Why on earth is it doing this? same firmware, same OS as everyone else, same itunes, same program, same model iphone! what could possibly make it do this after a FRESH restore?!
i might just wait til later
i CANT GET IT WORK HELP
ok, lets make some order. we all know windows 7 not supported.
can any1 confirm it worked with vista or vista with compatibilty mode?
I was reading Windows 7 will not work. Did any one try compatibility mode it will run as Visa SP1,2 XP SP1,2,3 also 95,98,ME,NT 4.0,2000,Server 2003.
Just right click PurpleRa1n then click compatibility
Also:UAC ON (Admin)
Can someone let me know what they think? Or better yet try it. Thanks sorry if this is a dumb question. Maybe it was overlooked?
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html
MSX and Antonio,
leave the iphone how it is in recovery mode close the purplera1n program and run it again and try it again hope it helps
i tried several times thanks anyone able to be the jailbroken apps
I have tried three different machines now and all of them crash right when i click on make it rain. it says purplera1n has stopped working.
iono if anyone else has this issue.
i try to install winterboard but it puts me into safe mode after reboot. Anyone know how to fix this?
@Tiberios
Got the same issue ... might want to use an XP system but do i need to sync it first on that system then ?
i just used a xp system and the same thing ... i dont know its really weird

Hey chaos209, Thankyou for replying to my cry for help :)
I have taken your advice, and now ra1n is just staying on "Waiting for phone"
in your experience, did you close it, and keep on running it from this point? Or how long did you wait?
purplerain.exe crashes!!!
Tryied over 7 computers and laptops with portuguese Windows XP SP3.
I'm lost..
Any tip or help ?? ? ?
THX
great, works on english XP only, but smooth like butter ;_)
ok vista work no need for and compat... mode
donated, appreciating this sparkling work
BICKETY BAAAAAM!
After combinations of restarting the phone, opening and closing ra1n (I know, sounds really messy and dangerous) eventually it worked.
WINNARR
Hmmm, it gets stuck on "waiting for reboot". Anyone else get this? Using Vista 32bit
Sup George thanks for the software.. though there's defiantly a bug with ultrasn0w - when installing it works the first time round, Then it will just randomly lock the sim again every 10 seconds and loses all signal
Hello,
since i have make the jailbreak and the unlock my Wi-Fi is no more working, have anyone a idea?
Have anyone the same problem?
greetings kruegge
It crashes on XP SP2 French. I tried in DFU AND in normal mode, it crashes on clic on "Make it ra1n".
I want to try it but am a bit worried about these reports that wi-fi stops working. Can anyone confirm if this is the case please?
Does it work with unlocked iPhone 3GS? I purchased the phone in Australia apple store. I've tried running the purplera1n like 50 times and it still stuck on the recovery screen. I even restored the phone and tried again, still no luck
okay.. think i may of fixed the ultrasn0w problem...? when you finally get back in after one of the random ¨this sim is locked¨ moments go straight to plane mode - it will come up again that the sim is locked.. just leave it for a little while.. then do the unlock again.. wallah! the carrier and signal are back. woohoo
HERE'S WHAT WORKED ON MY PHONE.
When you're stuck 0n iPh0ne rest0re and n0thing's happening:
1. Quit purplea1n app
2. Unplug your device
3. Put it back
4. Rerun purplea1n
5."Make it rain"
If it sh0ws y0u ge0h0t's pic, then you're go0d. If it d0esn't, red0 the wh0le pr0cess.
listen people, when you click the purplera1n site, SAVE, dont just run it. SAVE the file to your desktop or something. and it will work from there, IM SOOO HAPPY!
Fantastic!
Downloading Cydia stalling heh.
running vista. stuck in recovery mode, and "done, waiting for reboot". I've disconnected and reconnected the iphone 10 times restarting purplera1n each time and it is still stuck
Try rebooting iphone by holding home+power tillit shuts off.
OMG!!!
I AM AT A LOST FOR WORDS.....CHECKING THESAURUS FOR THANKS^1000
I've done that as well. I've held both power and home and got it to turn off, but everytime, it comes back up in recovery mode. Whether i'm plugged into the laptop or not. Also, i've tried the compatability mode. Xp mode compatability running the program and it gets stuck waiting for iphone. so I'm back to no compatability because at least this way it goes to done, wait for reboot.
This is exactly how the game should be played. I like that.
still nothing ... crashing right away when i click make it rain
okay, im stuck on the purple ra1n logo...anybody have any ideas? please help. btw, geohot, ur amazing!
Piece of cake!
Thanks!
