If we installed rc1, can we just run this over the top then? Will this fix the terminal errors?

itaintrite said...

AWesome! code sig error gone. time to test! thanks

Dale said...

Great work, thanks again. I finally got the original release to work for me last night, after many attempts, so hopefully this will help everyone else having issues with the USB payload errors. :)

Callum said...

Does anyone know if there is any advantage to rejailbreaking. If yes, is there any way other than to do a restore, rejailbreak and put all of my stuff back on.

chickenpork said...

does this fix wifi w/ ultrasn0w?

chris said...

just ran purplra1nrc2, looks good. Didnt need to freeze again and kernal patches seem to have fixed the terminal issues. MobileFinder still won't run, but I guess thats in sauriks court

Callum said...

Yep, just checked, you can just run the program again and everything will be as it was before. Even your cydia apps are still there.

Girlie said...

Can this RC hacktivate now?

msrotter said...

Thank you for your hard work!

Where can i find the link for this RC1?

George Hotz said...

Vukodlak said...

FireMedic92 said...

Geohot, you ROCK! You can come ride our fire truck ANYTIME!

doraemon said...

@Geohot, please think of us outside the US with a locked phone, any way to merge the jailbreaking and unlocking so that we can also use our phones? Thank you so much

doraemon said...

...and happy 4th of July to you!

jo said...

Just tried from a restore in Windows 7 64bit. Works so good, I think I wet myself. Great work Geo! No restarting the program flawless install. Easiest Jailbreak Ever! Thanks again & again... This is my 4th of July Fireworks. lol

Jahn said...

Hello, i am from Germany, it works perfectly, i use VMware Fusion with windows XP.

greetings jahn

adrianm said...

I would if I knew how geohotz, maybe there is somebody who can make the activation part. Please.

Please guys, does somebody know how to do the activation tool following George's indications? This would really help the lot of us with a locked phone.

Lukas said...

i just need some instructions

Lukas said...

regarding activation of course

doraemon said...

Thank you Lukas, I hope some good soul out there has a clue to help us...

timmy said...

Lukas said...

would it be enough to replace our lockdownd file with one of an already activated phone?

Oakey22 said...

i have tried to update and the purple rain logo is stuck on the image. It worked fine for RC1 though

itaintrite said...

Tried this on a Windows 7 64-bit PC. First try, stuck on purplera1n image.

So I rightclick on .exe file, set run in XP with SP3 mode. This time it worked perfectly :)

Oakey22 said...

Oakey22 said...

Just done a retore and ran RC2, now working fine, although i do see a reduction in the phone signal, from 5 bars down to 3.

Liquid_NRG said...

This worked perfectly! I can confirm it working 100% with Windows 7 x64.

Tim said...

I also have a locked phone, all I see is people answering saying they have the same problem:D Does anyone know if there really isnt a way to get around it out yet, do we have to wait?

bigfish58 said...

Guys - DON'T RUN RC2 OVER RC1!!

I did it, and it completely messed things up >.<. Took me a good 30 mins to get it all fixed. Restore to the original 3.0 firmware first, and then apply RC2.

Nikki said...

hacktivation pls!!

None said...

geo you are the man. i'm glad it's raining today. my fireworks got soaked but i'm ok with that.

Giovanni said...

I made the rc1 and i had no problem... i read that i could make the rc2 up on the rc1 i started to make...
make it rain ecc... i arrived with jeohot on my ipod i restarted manually and i am having always connect to itunes.....
any suggestions?

ghrom said...

Apple, why don't you hire the guy? FFS.

Nikki said...

Nikki said...

this tool will make NO sense at all if it cannot hacktivate. NON-SENSE! my loyalty will still stay with Dev Team who never missed any important feature on their tools.

Oakey22 said...

Nikki, where is the Dev-team release, oh i thought so.

Nikki said...

well i'd rather wait than get pissed with this small stupid tool lol.

Chesterdog9 said...

I used this program with 10 phones all worked perfectly. No problems with wifi. I found this jailbreak easy to use. All phones unlocked with ultrasn0w no problem.

Thanks very much for all you great work.

klez said...

george, i totally need your help. i'm brutally stuck on something. i have a REALLY WIERED behaviour on my iphone 3gs ... can you please please contact me? kingrx (at) web . de is my email...

Giovanni said...

after i removed the rc1, the rc2 worked with no problems

Kypros said...

from what i heard, u can bypass the activation by plugging in the USB while the phone is off and holding down the HOME button. this puts the phone in restore mode and u just run purplera1n. i havent tried that yet. still dnt have my phone.

bubu23 said...

the funny thing is that no body try to help not just me to many who stuck

if it was ok to you so help abit nothing gonna happend

maybe i cant download cydia cause the cydia server bussyt to much?

cushcalc said...

RC1 worked fine for me. RC2 sticks on purplerain splashscreen, whether I start it over RC1, or do it over a fresh restore.

Stefan said...

I've tried this one several times, but it keeps getting stuck at the recovery logo.
When I then restart purplera1n, it continues and I see the logo, it stays there for a couple of minutes, and then reboots with a flash. No Freez application is to be found though, so I guess it didn't work.

some of the problems reported (incomplete jb) sound like the iphone was on a usb hub - put it right on the pc, worked for me

William said...

was already jailbroken using purplera1n, just ran RC2 with no problems at all. Thanks geohot

Giovanni said...

restore and after rc2

edrojo said...

Does someone used purplera1n with ultrasn0w? It is true that WIFI will stop working?

Chesterdog9 said...

Make sure you activate your wifi before you try and download cydia. It is an easy mistake. Let everything in cydia upgrade and load ultrasn0w. Re-boot and you will be unlocked. I used an older computer and nothing worked. After I switched computers worked perfectly. Check your hardware.

cOoL RaLpH said...

i used this on top of rc1 and i was left with a black screen everytime my phone turned on, the backlight was on and it was just completely black as in, i couldnt see anything, i had to restore :(

levine said...

I'm having a religious problem... jailbreak w/ rc2 but have to boot into XP or wait for OSX version and remain pure for the day.

salvo said...

Hacktivation Please !!!

kronos said...

it doesnt work on german vista 32bit and one us iphone 3gs!
bests

Giovanni said...

u can stay pure....
rc2 worked after restore...
rc2 oveer rc1 doesn't work i had to restore to make it works...
u can stay pure if u don't want to risk...
under vmware is not working....
Anyway keep in mind that when you restore you need internet cuz itunes have to connect to apple to restore!

Giovanni said...

i forgot to tell that i made it on a win xp sp3 with hungarian language :P

AmazingAnt said...

Entirely random question, and I'm sure I'll be told something like "just use poof," but how do I get freeze off my iPhone now that I've got Cydia up and running?

WHiTY said...

Everything is working like a charm! except OpenSSH - tried OpenSSH/ToggleSSH+AutomaticSSH - both didnt work as expected. can connect and type and so on, but after some seconds ssh doesnt respond. it sporadically disconnects me...any help? getting no errors...

Giovanni said...

install from cydia cydelete and u can put off freeze

cOoL RaLpH said...

for all the ppl crying about the freeze icon just download sbsettings and hide it :)

kronos said...

@geohot, i cant aktivate the US iphone (AT&T locked). could you help me?

tobiCOM said...

Does ist also work for normal iPhone 3G? Thx iphone4ever.eu

Mary said...

geohot you are amazing!!! YOU ARE THE ONE AND ONLY REAL DEV TEAM

brandon said...

Can i use this on a 3GS with the 3.1 beta? Or do I have to downgrade back to 3.0?

Lukas said...

i hacktivated my iphone via the lockdownd file of my old iphone 2g :) just copied the old one on the new iphone with iphonebrowser on windows :) easy and works :) great

cross said...

Lukas more info would be appreciated. Could you provide this file for us?

Dwight Santos Aerobatics said...

I´mfrom Brazil, First i´d like to congradulate George ////hotz for making this possible.
I´d like to know if this purple rain works in any version for IPhone, if not how do i jailbrake the IPhone3G.
Thanks.

3ash Wagef said...

hi
thanks for making my iphone usable & many thanks for Dev Team also

guys i am not sure how the sale of iphone would have been with out your jailbreak , it might worth you demand parts of the sale Seem good idea.

many thanks from Kuwait

Michal said...

@ Lukas: please conntact me at michalqo at gmail . com My new iPhone 3GS is on the way from US so your help will be really appriciated ( at least the lockdown file :-) )

Dakujem!

MaizezHacker said...

*sigh* 4 Attempts on my 64-bit Vista OS and keep getting stuck on the Recovery mode with the itunes logo with the cord.

Trying it ONE more time, I even unplugged it + restarted purplera1n when it gets stuck on that part but nothing happens.

bakatrinh said...

Those with wifi issues and your t-mobile carrier dropping in and out. I uninstalled bosspref and install sbsettings instead. In sbsettings, I turned everything off including wifi and phone. Then I turn wifi on and then phone on.

If you don't have wifi issues, you probably shouldn't install bosspref or sbsettings.

Dan said...

Thank you geo and enjoy your holiday as well

Lilskata said...

Good job GeoHot on the RC2 release. I still have not tried jailbreaking my 3GS due to many users having issues, hopefully there fixed now. So is it worth trying on Win 7?

MaizezHacker said...

Well I tried my 5th time on my 64-bit and it failed again.

It just says "Entering Recovery Mode..." and never switches.
Left it like that for over 10 minutes and nothing, so I tried restarting purplera1n and it says "Waiting for phone..." nothing happens after a couple minutes.

Unplugged device, closed purplera1n, plugged it back in re-started purplera1n and "Waiting for phone...".

Thanks for the jailbreak Geo, even though it didn't work for me its ok. I can wait for patches on this take your time and keep up the good work!

iPhone said...

WELL DONE GEOHOTZ, THE DEV-TEAM GET JEALOUS OF PURPLERA1N, THEY DELETED ALL THE COMMENTS WHICH UPSET THEM
RA1N VS SN0W 1 - 0

dave said...

Thanks Geo, applied the jailbreak, got stuck on the waiting to reboot screen, my battery was getting low but i had it plugged in obviously, bow my phone wont charge at all, i just get the battery screen....

Thank you for your reply but when i try to remove Freeze i get ; "Freeze" was not installed by Cydia, and cannot be removed by CyDelete.

Lukas said...

Lukas said...

Here we go :

1)
http://www.file-upload.net/download-1742135/lockdownd.html

download this file, save it somewhere, where you will find it again
2) google for iphonebrowser, download as well
3) connect your jailbroken iphone 3gs to your pc
4) open iphone browser and navigate to /usr/libexec
5) look for lockdownd and right klick it
6) klick replace file and pick the file you downloaded before
7) Reboot

It took some seconds before my iphone legt emergency screen after the first reboot... so be patient

kudos Geo, had a few issues with RC1, but it worked eventually on XP SP3. Used RC2 over the top of my previous ra1n on Vista, and it went without a single hitch. clever mate...very clever!

klipseracer said...

Thanks geo and all the other dev team members involved. Worked first try, This IS how a jailbreak should be. I don't care to stare at pineapples.

reznor9 said...

Danie said...

Hey Geo why do I'm having this message when I try to download purplera1n :

You don't have permission to access /purplera1n/purplera1n.exe on this server

... is the download link down ?

DarkIQ said...

@Geohot: You should consider starting a forum, that way you can let the users help out people with all there questions about purplera1n.

p.s. Do you think Prince can appreciate your JB? :P

xyoming said...

Geo, this tool is dangerous! I got beaten up by my wife after I screamed like a lil baby when I JB my iphone

cross said...

Hey I turned off password protection on my wifi to open system. And it`s working. Well it`s not safe but it doesn`t matter where I live nobody yousing wifi ;)

Card said...

1st of all, I loved your photo, you are really HOT, George. ;-)

2nd, is it possible to unlock 3GS using ultrasn0w after purplera1n? Does it limit things somehow?

iamauti said...

Hi iphonemaniacs lol, after purplera1n, app store, itunes and skype, dont open, start to load, but it close after few seconds.

נדב said...

Xak said...

Iris said...

Hi i installed everything

Jahn said...

if you have wifi problems please tell us which iphone....

I have wifi problems with 3GS

greetings jahn

iamauti said...

i have. the iphone doesnt find any wifi network.

Jason said...

Geohot -

On behalf of all the 3GS owners, I want to personally say THANK YOU! I know the appreciation of the FANS of you are good enough ;-)

the way you presented this jailbreak and the speed at which you support the tool is beyond what the DEV TEAM can do. They have lost their hacking perspective because they are afraid to lose - why else would they refuse to release pwnagetool since they claim 3.1 will patch this hole.

Your attitude is great because you know you may or may not be able to find another exploit in the future BUT at least you have the BALLS to admit that "hey, what the fcuk, I'll just find another hole next week". that is how the game should be played and i agree with you.

You are one glib hacker. Cheers to you and have a fantastic fourth of July; you have given "freedom" to the many!!

You will remain the BEST iphone hacker in history. There is none other than you!

Alan Gardiner said...

Will this work on UK Iphone 3gs or just US version as i have run it well over 20 times and it just gets stuck at recovery screen

p[ete said...

This worked for me, but not first time. I had RC1 installed and tried to install RC2 over the top. Like other people it froze on the picture of George.

It was stuck in recovery mode and no matter what I tried (soft reset included) I couldn't restart it.

So I had to do a complete restore and then install RC2.

Now everything works great. Thanks so much!

Alan Gardiner said...

Tried that no luck it just will not get as far as a picture of george.
can someone please help

Dave said...

Question for all who successfully JB'd. When 3.1 is released and if there is a new JB, won't you need to restore to factory settings and re-jailbreak all over again?

By the way, great job Geo!

iamauti said...

Alan, yes. it does!
I live in London.

Alan said...

Did you use a desk top or laptop and what os are you running as i just can't get it to work. tried all my ports re-instaled itunes the works any help would be great

jamendolaro123 said...

brooo! u r the man! i work for at&t and i brought my laptop into work and musta jailbroke like 15 iphones lmao. ur the man

Brad said...

anyone notice how when u download something on the iphone cant say what.... but It will always TIMEOUT over wifi always and sometimes over 3g and or edge? my downloads MAYBE reach 25% then freeze and timeout? why?

Brad said...

also im on a official carrier and not using ultrasnow

dan holmstock said...

Damn it - I had all working, I did the rc2 - dont know y i did - and now I cant get a signal after ultrasnow - and nothing from cydia installs!

dan holmstock said...

DANG IT. I tried for hours over hours both releases and none of them worked for me! It just stucks in the "running" stage and won't go on. and the error is that payload thing... I tried over 3 computers - all XP SP3 in different USB slots. even tried to disconnect all other slots. none worked.

I bought the iPhone in Canada and it's locked... but as i understand I should first JB it and then unlock...

Im desperate :( what is different from me to all others that DID JB it

DarkIQ said...

Omri: Have you tried another cable?

the chef said...

Fast fix Geo .one note my cydia crashes but install stuff and uninstalled stuff then the crash anybody have solutions. No problem just a beta will restore tomorrow if no one has a solution.
cheers

Alex said...

wow...this is truly impressive work man. as a mac user i wanted to be patient and safe, but as a new iphone user, i just couldn't do wait any longer for cydia. Installed with RC2 on Mac OS X running VMWare Fusion w/ Win XP. Just installed Cydia...stoked! Thanks!

DarkIQ said...

the chef: Cydia crashed on me when I first loaded it, worked on the second try, then I loaded the updates with no problems. After that I loaded boss pref's and ram fix dir permissions. Works like a champ for me. hope that helps.

New to this. Where is the freeze app needed to run during the reboot?

Omri said...

DarkIQ - as a matter of fact, YES it tried the cable that came with the iPhone and another one that came with my iTouch one year ago

Jahn said...

AT ALL WITH WIFI Problems i have the answer.

OK at first i had wifi problems because i used ultrasn0w. Here the settings to resolve the problem, it is a little woraround.

The problem occurs because the gsm net. Put off the wifi in your iphone. So put off the iphone an put it on again.

After starting he will the code for your sim card. Do not enter this code.

Go to the Wifi settings, now it must worked. After you make all settings for Wifi.

Make a call, so the iphone will unlock your sim card. now you can enter your sim code an both is working, Wifi and GSM.

I Hope it helps.

greetings jahn

Hi, I am totally new at this unlock & jailbreak thing. I just got a new 16g Iphone 3GS. I am pretty computer literate. I just have been trying to find a step by step guide as to what to do and how to do it, right. Can any one help me? could you please e-mail your responses to my this address: lamoni@comcast.net Thanks... Really would appreciate it. PS. I have downloaded the latest ware called Purplera1n.

Brad said...

TheBaldEagle said...

dan holmstock said...

Bryan said...

INstalled this with Windows 7. Im installing cydia right now with freeze a bit slow downloading it though i guess because everyone is grabbing it. Here is what I did.

1.Plug iphone 3gs via usb
2.Download Purplera1n
3. Open Itunes
4. Set purplera1n to run under xp compatibly mode.
5.Run purplera1n
6. Wait for iphone to reboot.
7.You should now have a freeze icon on your iphone click that and let it install cydia! Done!

The first time I tried it without putting it into xp mode and didnt have itunes opened and didnt work. So this should work for you guys. Goodluck thanks!

For the 3G, redsn0w activates and jailbreak and ultrasn0w desimlocks. For the 3Gs, purplera1n only jailbreaks and ultrasn0w desimlocks. But how about the activation of the 3Gs?

Bryan said...

Ok guys I forgot to add restart your phone when finished installing cydia. The icon will appear after restart. Take a long time for cydia to download but just wait it out and it will finish and install. Goodluck!

Patrick said...

Hey is anyone able to find or link to the RC1 as RC2 is not working for me

iphone people said...

For me Ultrasn0w worked just ok on RC1 but now i cant get it to work at all on RC2 :(

edrojo said...

Works 100% for me. nlocked with USn0w and Wifi works perfectly. Thanks Geohot

Flo said...

does not work for me on windows 7

just get the cable and the itunes icon in recovery mode but not the lovely geohot :/

Brad said...

why when im connected via my WIFI do my downloads via anything even cydia timeout and fail?

itaintrite said...

@dan holmstock: but it WAS broken. Hence the need for kernel patches. Just because you didn't notice it. SSH was not working for one, now it is.

To remove Freeze from your springboard, just SSH into the iPhone and delete Freeze.app folder from /Applications

Brad said...

yet over 3g everything in cydia downloads fine?

Patrick said...

so ive restored multiple times. had run RC1 with no problem, freeze, cydia etc. ran RC2 on top of RC1 and did not work, tried 4 or 5 times, now i go into recovery mode but just sticks there and wont even do anything. any help?

Patrick said...

ok guys, got it...needed to UNCHECK run in XP compatibility mode.

sometimes it just takes persistence

Mega said...

i cannot get to the link..
"You don't have permission to access /purplera1n/purplera1n.exe on this server."

נדב said...

can some1 tell me how to activate the phone first??
because after the process of the purplera1n i cant see springboard i'm stock at the emergency screen!!

darkokun said...

Just to let you guys know. Installous is working fine :)

Louis said...

Excellent Jailbreak program! RC2 seems to work better than RC1. Make sure you restore your iPhone 3GS with the original firmware 3.0 from Apple, then run Purplrra1n RC2 from Windows. You must have a valid ATT SIM card to activate the phone, then run Freeze to install Cydia. After rebooting, update Cydia and install ULTRASN0W, then you are ready to use any SIM card you have. Enjoy a jailbroken and unlocked iPhone 3GS!
