purplera1n...for mac

You asked for it, and we delivered. I'm not a mac coder, so AriX and westbaer stepped up to do it. Check out AriX's blog here. Download link on purplera1n.com, and thank AriX and westbaer next time you see them!

Also, some more payload stability improvements were made, and the windows version was updated to RC2a. There is no reason to run RC2a if you already have RC2 installed.

OMG finally, thank you

caljomac said...

Omg this os so good thank a load geohot

Giovanni said...

can u put winterboard on rc2a???

ren said...

gonna try it out just for fun!

Beg said...

Goodies, but Geohot, are you planning on releasing any information on how exactly purplera1n works? Like the guts of it? If you can, it'd appreciate it, I love to know how thinks work.

Phuc (ken) said...

ALL HAIL!! to KING GEOHOT

fglover said...

if you unlocked before the rc2 build, is there any reason to redo it with rc2? If all your interested in is apps? Did it improve signal issues?

cyberface said...

George you are a star. I remember being online (at 3am in the UK, Sept 2007) with an imported US AT&T iPhone, when you released your beta command-line code then... a few minutes of complete panic and then I was the first UK Vodafone user of the iPhone mk1... :)

Being impatient I already used the Windows purplera1n on my 3GS but I only own Macs (can't stand Windows) so had to use someone else's box.

Purplera1n for the Mac worked *perfectly* on my Mac setup and for anyone considering running it over a phone already JB'd with Windows purplera1n mk1 - IT WORKS. Without needing restore or anything - my data was all still there.

Just waiting for Saurik to add the necessary code to Winterboard and we'll be laughing.

I keep very quiet on these boards but props are *definitely* in order to you... Nice one fella and in the game of cat and mouse, you appear to be the mouse with the most, heh :)

Richard said...

@fglover, READ Geohot's post! He answered your question already! Just fyi, no sarcasm intended!

Mark said...

Hey Geohot any thoughts on using an "easy button" to make it rain? I swear that's been the easy jailbreak i've ever used. thanks!

Richard said...

@cyberface, I was the 2nd AT&T/T-Mobile jailbroken/unlocked phone in the USA! I always wondered who was the first in the UK :). Congrats m8!

Omri said...

Yet I still have the USB issue and i couldn't use any version :( tried 4 different computers all XP SP3 and SP2. I wonder would could it be. please if you find another way to approach it do it cause i like tried every combination available

Jan said...

Looks it works for me also. Cydia asks me to update some packages, shall I do it ?

cyberface said...

@Richard - someone may have beaten me to it, but I had already got all the CLI tools on the phone and it was just a question of running the tools that I downloaded off geohot as *soon* as they appeared...

lior said...

excellent !! thank you !

excellent !! thank you !

Dagoo said...

Hi, thx for the osx version, but cannot see it on your site.

anyway, good job 2 u

cytefx said...

works for me after x failed times with windows mac worked first time :)

ian said...

thanks for reposting the ecid/ibss link!

Prazer said...

if i did purpra1n release 1 does running purplea1n for mac add any stability functionality etc. Is it recommended / necessary to do?

Felix said...

Hi, I intended to use the mac version, but there is for intel mac. My mac is a power pc mac. This will be solved?
Thanks a lot

tsuehpsyde said...

Just jailbroke my 3GS on my Macbook Pro. That was ridiculously easy. Props to everyone involved. :) Looking forward to the various app fixes required for the new hardware in the 3GS like Winterboard and so on.

Thanks again, George! =)

ADMIN said...

@Geohotz

why is there no 'icon.png' file in the freeze file?

Chris said...

How easy is this for an iPhone n00b? Not trying to ruin my 3GS..

Junior said...

I have been waiting so long for this i was losing my damn mind.... Thanks again.

RoyS said...

I just bought my iPhone3Gs today... puplera1n & ultrasnow worked perfectly for me!!

tips to do away with the wifi prob:
- reboot after installing Cydia
- reboot after installing Ultrasn0w (via Cydia)
- good to have a fast, reliable wifi (internet) connection


everything is working!
- wifi (using cydia, safari, maps, compass)
- GSM signal, no issues
- apps store
- location services
- sync with MSExchange server / Gmail
... all other stuff is working.. no performance issues, no failing apps (except for those not yet supported in fw3.0)!

note: depending on where the inserted SIM is from, the iTunes store might not work. iTunes store is not yet supported in Philippines).. who cares!?

system: WindowsXP Pro w/ SP3 (sorry i hate Vista! :) )

Thanks George!!... iphone JB & unlocked while in US; also tested/used Philippine SIM card)... AWESOME WORK GEO MAH MAN!!!! MANY THANKS DUDE!!!

-RoyS from Philippines-

Edmond said...

Thanks again, George!

Billy said...

It's insane how easy that was, props to you, my friend. ONE question... does anyone know how to recover/use the purplera1nyday files? Where are they put, and what to do with them? Thanks!

marc said...

I did the RC1 jailbreak on my 3GS with my windows computer and it was great except cracked applications weren't using push.....Just redid the jailbreak without restoring or anything with my macbook pro and I Push seems to be working great through all of the applications now.

Lilskaterpunk said...

Good job again GeoHotz and the rest of the crew!

Can u explain what other fixes u did for RC2a (Windows)??? More in detail lol

Thanks man!

Burt said...

What makes this still a beta release if all is working fine? How come some people have issues and others don't if we are all on stock 3.0 firmware?

I used purplera1n for the mac and it was truly the most simple jailbreak I ever performed, but I had issues with my wifi shutting off for no reason and my signal for T-Mobile USA is not that great for some reason, i cannot send sms messages and when I call my house to test... the call will not hang up.

I have turned off 3G and rebooted after every install... on a side not how do you get rid of the freeze app after all is installed? I tried CyDelete... no go though... says that it was not installed by Cydia?

Dromaludaire said...

@Ian

Same here. It doesn't seem to work with TIger.

Is there a way to fix this so it can work with Tiger?

So finally the lossing signal with ultrasnow its fixed or not ??????????????

bakatrinh said...

For those having intermittent wifi and carrier signal on tmobile. Don't install bosspref or sbsettings. Turn on Airplane Mode, wait 5 seconds, then turn it off. It works for me sometimes.

andrew said...

DUDE YOU ROCK

dom said...

A big thank you to geohot. I am so glad you decided to release this. After some trial and error I did get it installed, everything seems to run pretty well. I have ran into a few freezes and lockups, anyone else have that happen? I think it may have something to do with SBSettings. Also GPS acting a little funny too. Check out my blog for a tutorial on installing on Windows XP. http://slyfone.freei.me

Iris said...

Intermitent Signal Sucks why didnt you fix that first ?
Launch incomplete works is bad.

cosmicfluxmusiq said...

went through without even a hickup perfect thank you geo!!! however it appears that tmobile san francsico signal does cut in and out when i push the speach recognition.. so far.. if anybody figures out the fix for signal iteruptions post away !!!!

thanks again!!!!

eliteflyers_com said...

Hello. I bought the 3gs Today and very much want it jailbroken so I can enjoy the benefits of making my iphone original. I have tried to follow the instructions online and have downloaded purplera1n.app However once I run the program I get an error message that says " YOU CANNOT OPEN THE APPLICATION PURPLERA1N.APP BECAUSE IT IS NOT SUPPORTED ON THIS SYSTEM." I have looked for trouble shooting tips however have been unable to find anything. Someone please help. I am currently on the 3.0 software.

Thanks in advance.

Thx so much for this comment! My edge/ wifi problems are gone after I uninstalled Boss Prefs and SBToggle

Jeremiah said...

First of all.. BRILLIANT JOB!!!... Secondly, just a question. I have heard all the complaints about winterboard and mobile substrate not working... Can we maybe compile a list of the apps that do currently work with the jailbreak??? I have only installed pdanet so far and it works perfectly... The only other one I tried that hasn't worked was tonefxs. It caused the phone to enter safe mode... Which ones work?

ADMIN said...

@all

this is what we were talking about when we said we can help you to change the freeze icon(with some help from geohotz(i need to know what is holding the icon in freeze)) we have already changed a few of our icons and here is a link, we will soon have a tutorial on how to make these changes yourself and have over 3000 icons available for you.


iPhone 3GS with changed icons

Man I wish I could just get mine to jailbreak!!!
Please!!! What am I doing wrong? I run MAC OSX TIGER. And gives me the error ::

Incredible job, Geo! thank you!

one problem: my camera app launches and then quits.

Anyone else with this problem?

Philosophy said...

Man, Once Again,

you did a great job.

More "Flawless" than RC2.

Follower,

wtjames06 said...

still no winterboard? right? anybody heard of any progress on it?

Steve said...

Excellent work Geohot!!! Worked flawlessly here...SBSettings, Five Icon Dock, & AppSync working fine, no issues. (AT&T - no unlock)

Does anyone know if Categories works?

Nick said...

Yes I am using categories and it is working fine. I am waiting for winterboard to be fixed by Saurik and then Everything will be working 100%.

Young Hegelian said...

I was one of the skeptics, I wanted to hold off until the devteam released their product, but the reporsts i've heard were just too good,, so i decided to take the plunge, and I'm one happy customer, thank you geo, a donation shall be on its way to you soon,, I feel bad donating to you and not giving the devteam anything, but....

Thanks again,, THE SIMPLEST JAILBREAK EVERY!

also ultrasn0w works perfectly,, i dont know whats up with the meteorological lingo, but hey! whatever works :P

iamauti said...

Did u fix wifi?
Coz i did with rc2 windows and the iphone doesnt find any wifi network.
Thanks a lot!!

wtjames06 said...

meteorological lingo?????? let me explain!! go to cydia and try themes(apps) or any themes...they will crash because of winterboard

Laurence said...

Mac version works and WiFi issues following ultrasn0w install experienced after Windows version install yesterday appear gone after clean install on Air running 10.5.7 - all is good on official Canada and unofficial France carrier - Thanks again - hope you received PayPal donation and all the beaver you can eat if you ever make it up to the great white north :-)

wtjames06 said...

so everything works? has anybody tried to run any winterboard apps? or more simply can you go to cydia and search for winterboard and install it and run it without sending the phone into safe mode? winterboard is included in almost all the apps in cydia

wtjames06 said...

oh and im refering to 3gs with 3.0 software

Danie said...

Why you people are using this stupid jailbrake, it has many bugs... do you know what "BETA" means ??? don't be fooled by this charlatans who are looking some kid of attention... wait a while to official Dev Team's jailbrake supporting the new iPhone OS 3.1 to get your iPhone 3GS correctly working at least. If you want the best you have to be patient... so until that take a beer Buckle Up and sit Tight !!

David Trigueros said...

what about 3.1? Will I have any problems once it's release July 14?

Thanks again for your help!

I have a question...if I install release 2a over the release 2, do I have to run freeze again? or everything I had after running Freeze from release 2 will still work? thanks in advance for the help...I am new to this.

cream said...

@Pancholelo
There is no reason you should run RC2a on top of your RC2.

Pancholelo said...

@cream

Thanks for your response. What if I already did? Should I restore? or am I good?

If it has updated successfully and you didn't run into any problems, you should be good to go =)

Seagull said...

The Donation link in Purplera1n.com is not working.

pm said...

I installed PurpleRa1n and it's working great. One thing is that it took a lot longer to run than I thought it would - if you do a RC3, I'd recommend a warning to be patient. I thought it hung the first time and interrupted it - that wasn't good.

Also, as Seagull noted, the donation link on the purplera1n website doesn't work.

I would like to thank George Hotz and everyone else involved for their hard work in putting this together.

iamauti said...

Yay!!! Everything working now!!!
The problem was the VoipOver3G wich on 3G work but on 3GS it doenst.

Ryan said...

thankyou I have been waiting for this, great job. I am having serious network and wifi issues
can someone please tell me how to do a clean install
laurence how did you do it?

Al Mair said...

Hey George - you're the genius behind every aspect of iphone unlocking, the original unlock, the 4.6 exploit, the 3g 2.28.00 exploit and now the 3gs jailbreak! No end to your talents!

I saw on your twitter regarding us selling your jailbreak, we're adding on a support pack for those people in the uk, we're not just selling your jailbreak. don't start going down the path of the other people in vilifying us for that, we're gonna donate to you (email me privately regarding this).

big respect for what you've achieved.

oliviercahane said...

i just jailbroke my iphone 3GS v.3.0 with purplera1n but cydia cannot be downloaded using freeze, it remains blocked and progress bar is 3/4. any clue?

yitzi said...

THANX SO SO SO MUCH,

IT WORKED FIRST TIME ON MY 3GS, I HAD TO DO NO REBOOTS, CYDIA INSTALLED PERFECTLY, I HAD NO PROBLEM DELETING FREEZE AFTER THAT.

AND ULTRASNOW WORKED FINE, FULL STRENTH SIGNAL, FULL WIFI, GPS, YOUTUBE, APPSTORE ALL WORKING PERFECTLY.
THANX AGAIN

Li ke said...

Freeze gone!..

Just delete freeze folder..
Freeze is gone but wondered if is safe to do this as I just came across to this folder.

levine said...

@Nathan Lockett - (:) chocolate chip! Funny stuff ay?

croatsensation1 said...

The mac version worked great and no issues with my phone in regards to Wifi or signal. All apps are fine and no noticable difference in speed. Great job. What i did was to restart the phone after installing cydia and it seems to resolve some of the issues noted.

Iris said...

Dont waist your time
cellphone signal still unstable
with this release also !!!!!!!!!

anshin said...

when is winterboard coming

DJT75 said...

I understand that winterboard doesn't work yet & can wait for that ... but I can't use qTweeter either? *sobs*

Andy said...

Whenever I try to bookmark something in Safari it keeps trying to add it to the home screen instead, does anyone else have this problem too?

D1zzl3 said...

Anyone else having issues with RC2a and Spotlight Search? Everytime, I slide over to Search my phone hangs and eventually goes into Safe Mode... I've seen it close other apps at random as well.

Should I just run RC2a again? Do I have to restore first?

Lyn2012 said...

Advice please. As a complete newbie at JB etc, I JB and unlocked without problem. Afterwards all fine inc Wi-Fi. Phone and SMS working on UK T-Mobile but not MMS. After rebooting a couple of time MMS worked too. Then the phone switched itself off and when I switched it on it doesn't even search for the network, no phone calls or anything. Rebooting or switching SIMs doesn't help but if I use O2 SIM, it works again. Unless anyone has a solution to this, I would like to restore to original setup. When I option restore, iTunes says it will 'verify the restore with Apple'. Is it OK to go ahead with this or do I need to use a different ipsw file? Apologies for such a basic question but this is my first attempt.

@Danie

You are a retard. The Dev Team exploits are from Geohot. The JB works perfectly all 4 times I've used it. The issues people are having have NOTHING to do with the JB it has to do with the programs people use after jailbroken. Some of these programs include Winterboard and Ultrasnow to unlock. Saurik has even said he needs to patch winterboard. Get your facts straight.

Still usb payload problem. geohot please help me! im desprate

ATTENTION: those who want to delete FREEZE using CYDELETE

Install cydelete > go into iPhone settings > select cydelete settings > turn on non-Cydia deletion > delete FREEZE.

I suggest turning off non-Cydia deletion afterward.

Danie said...

@Nick

Nick ...suck my fckng ball bastard there are more bugs than advatages in purpleshit repoted by a long list of people has tried to jailbrake their iPhones 3GS if you have used purpleshit jailbreke moren than 4 days you will realize until that shut you fcng mouth asshole !!

Richard said...

I tried this "Mac" version for kicks on my Mac Mini 1.6 ghz core duo, Leopard, etc. and it went flawlessly like the Windows versions! Wifi, and cell signal strength working perfectly! I am the happiest 3GS user in the USA!!

THANK YOU GEO and Arix/Westbaer for such great tools!!

Philosophy said...

Form my experience:

If issues occur, try to follow this

I've tried, and it works perfectly.

JailBreak seems to be ok now, except Winterboard ETC.

For Ultrasn0w users,

Make sure that AFTER you've INSTALLED Ultrasn0w, you HAVE to insert THRID PARTY SIM before you begin to REBOOT your phone. If you REBOOT with your ATT SIM, the problem WILL OCCUR.

Problem with the WIFI when installed Ultrasn0w,

First, Remove ultrasn0w as soon as possible.

Then, Go to settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings,...The phone will REBOOT automatically.

After the phone is been REBOOT, you can connect to WIFI regularly, then connect it,

Now you have a connection to INSTALL Ultrasn0w from Cydia,

Install Ultrasn0w, then REBOOT BY "THIRD PARTY SIM".

.......

After the phone reboot with a thrid party sim that inserted, the phone WON'T work correctly, you can try to call someone ^^, IT WON'T WORK!

In this case: you have 2 (TWO) Choices.

First choice, go to setting, turn the flight mode on "WAIT UNTIL THE MENU CARRIER disappeared"

After menu "Carrier" disapeared, Turn FLight Mode "Off", That's it!!

Second choice, Remove your currect sim from sim tray then insert it again, that's it!!

Seems it because of the BUG! that's it!!

Good Luck!

Great Job, best Unlock I've seen.
I just donated to the cause.

itaintrite said...

@Danie: what purplera1n bug? The only problems I see most people complain about are either:
a) Ultrasn0w
b) Winterboard (needs update, might be tonight).

So nothing wrong with purplera1n. DEV team needs to release new Ultrasn0w.

Nick said...

@Danie

Way to just validate my point that you are a retard and resort back to your childish ways when confronted with the truth. There is no comeback when you are flat out wrong. Get your facts straight before you try to bash someone.

Eric said...

There is a bug with "Tricker ThreeG" and the iPhone 3GS. If you have this Cydia app installed you will NOT be able to launch the App Store. I read another guy said Fring. I have confirmed that simply removing Tricker ThreeG will give you access back into the App Store.

cream said...

Exciting news for those of us that have jailbroken our 3GS. Saurik has been working hard in updating his Winterboard, and it is almost ready:

jailbreak worked perfect! no troule at all. no wifi problems and no signal problems with ultrasn0w! excellent work geohot!

Ashley said...

Latest Winterboard and Mobilesubstrate from http://apt.saurik.com/debs/ works perfect on 3GS. Thanks Saurik & Co!!

OpenMinded said...

Great job that Winterboard now works, i am almost as happy as i was, and probably happier soon.
Soon is when voipover3g works again.

I tried it with the new Mobile Subtrate library but it still crashes the App store, also after reboot.

Does anyone know how and when this will be fixed?

This is amazing. You pwn. One thing I reccomend is killing purplera1n if another device is in. I accidentally made it ra1n on my iPod touch 2G and I got stuck in recovery.

Alex said...

Ooh I had 2 iPhones plugged in to the Mac when ra1ning. It felt a bit sick in the stomach, it wasn't pleasant. But in the end, no harm was done..

George, I'm sure everyone's wondering, are there any differences with the end result between purplera1n and redsn0w? Compatibility/Stability wise?

Cheers!

Harmen said...

Thank you man!

barth said...

Works fine on dutch (T-Mobile) iPhone G3 S.

Thank you very much!

OpenMinded said...

@Maarten
Thanks Maarten, I'll just have to wait I guess.
Tricker 3G does not work either.
I also wonder if Purplera1n has the same result as Redsn0w in case of stability.
Does anyone know?

Does purplera1n work on 3.1?

Emmanuel said...

OpenMinded said...

hey Adam,

you dork, why don't you go play with yourself untill YOU found a new hack?
Then you can decide when you publish it, you fool.
I suppose you did not jailbreak your phone since you think this is so foolish, so why post here?

For all the reasonable people: any1 knows when Voipover3g is being adapted?
it's the only think that does not work yet from what I use...

iPhone said...

Everyone's using redsn0w 8.0 to JB & unlock iPhone 3GS must THANKS to GeoHotz, if he didn't release purplera1n, the Dev-Team wouldn't release the redsn0w 8.0.
THANKS GEOHOTZ, YOU'RE THE BEST & WHEN WOULD YOU RELEASE THE JB FOR 3.1 beta? :-)

Tomer said...

Can someone please advise,

If I buy a 3GS with OS 3.0 today but only get it after 3.1 is released, will I be able to JB?

Thanks

Jonathan said...

This completely fucked my iphone. I plugged it in, now it will not restore and will not turn on. What the hell am I supposed to do?

Daven said...

purple-rain fucked my phone and after long ass restore and using dev-team redsnow everything runs again.
Take this as a warning!

George Hotz said...

What's up with the ra1n haters? It really can't fuck your phone...unless you didn't use a 3GS.

iTouch Man said...

OK.... Stay away from PurpleRa1n, my friends just told me it's a joke from Geography Hot. No surprise his ass got kicked from Dev Team's elite team of iPhone hackers.

I just bought PurpleRa1n for $35 and tried it on my iTouch and it keeps rebooting. The whole thing is very warm. I don't know what the hell is going on here but Geography Hot sure made a fool out of me. Go to blog.iphone-dev.org and use redsn0w. It worked perfect on my iTouch! Stay far away from the ra1n, the sn0w is where it's at!

OpenMinded said...

Wat a bunch of asses have been posting here?
@Daven
If your iphone was fucked, how could redsn0w fix it? Stop bashing idiot, if you do not know what you are doing!
RTFM before you nag.

@iTouch Man
You must be the most idiot poster of the moment here!
Who in the hell asked you to pay $35 huh, huh?
And who are your friends then?
Read George's statement, this is a 3GS hack, do you read iPod Touch somewhere?
Pull your head out of your arse and clean up the mess to get a bright view, perhaps it might stop you from bashing.

Redsn0w works also for 3G and Touch, so use that if you need to.
Purplera1n rc2 worked perfectly on my 3GS.
It has exactly the same status as the Redsn0w hack now, since on both we have Winterboard and no Voipover3G yet.

So no need to conclude that any solutions is different, althought Redsn0w is also for Linux.

Thanks George, just let those asses be, you rock :).

timmy said...

anybody having problems with vibriation too? Mine doesn't work at all...

jo said...

OpenMinded great post, itouchman (more like, I touch men) is retarded just like the others that will restore and use redsn0w. Why do people think the devteam is so great? Do they give BJ's with a Jailbreak? Why is it better? 99% or more could not even tell you the difference with redsnow and Purplera1n. Except how easy Purplera1n is. Wow all you people that jump ship when you see DevTeam's name on a Jailbreak. You need a lesson in the iPhone history of Jailbreaks without Geohot there is no beginning, so show some respect even if your dumb enough to use Redsn0w. Thank You George for all the hard work and sleepless nights from 07 to now. Also whats up with the devteam finding the same hole sounds a little fishy to me. Yea then it takes them days even when ra1n is released to "finish" there Jailbreak. Cause if they had one, and it had the same hole why wait days after Purplera1n? This is my opinion. At least we can voice our real views unlike the Devteam blog that only let's you post what they want on there. Thanks again and I hope to hear more great things from George in the future, Trust me we will.

madmilkman86 said...

hey does anyone know if i can still get my files i need for future jailbreaks after a jailbreak?

dd said...

I get always this error messages trying to download your file:

Forbidden

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

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

How long does it take once you start the program

Jackson said...

I installed purplera1n on the first day available and haven't had any problems. Great signal, wifi, and push all working with no prob.

Thank you Geohot. Dont let the ra1n haters get to you. I bet their the same ones on the Dev Team site bashing them. Your work over the 4th of July holiday weekend brought independence to all 3G S users.

If your one of the people who can't get it to work you must disable internet access open itunes, then run the patch.

If you bricked your phone you must restor on a different USB port than you were using when you bricked it. so if it was a front port use one from the back or a different computer all togeather.

Geo, why aren't you on the iphone dev team blog listed under the friends category?

BJCB said...

Hey! Touch man
Is your comment a joke, or you came here just to mess around. Don't you know that geohot tool is free? Your nick don't make jus to your knowledge!!!. You should ask for assistence, on the website you bought it.
Stop messing with this kid, he has more knowledge in one finger, than you have on all your body.
Respect, please.

Dan said...

Itouch man it's pretty obvious your a retard, purplera1n is free it sounds like your friends are the ones screwing ya. For all those that don't like purplera1n don't use it. If your true dev team fans then I'm sure you've read on their forum that people are having the same problems. Don't know how you could blame purplera1n? I think it's just that some people don't know how to follow directions( itouch man) and want to blame everyone else for being a retard.

Kyle said...

Ok i'm having some problems with installing it from a Mac. I click the make it ra1n button and it will say its done but the iphone wont let me do anything and it makes me reconnect back to itunes. It has the itunes and usb cord symbol on the fone instead of geohot on the iphone. Can anyone please help me?

@Kyle
It is stuck in restore mode I suppose.
You can use QuickPwn to get it out of restore mode, at least on Windows (i have not tryed on mac).
I had the same problem on Windows Vista.
On XP to get it back, start QuickPwn en connect the phone.
It will tell you to hold home and power and release home after 15 secs.
Then my phone booted (it does not work without QuickPwn).
Hope this helps, if not, you can do a restore and try again, or try Redsn0w.

By the way, I jb'ed my 3gs on Xp Sp3 running on VirtualBox on my Mivvy M310 :).

jorge said...

Do you know if purplera1n works onthe iphone 3g??? and the ipod touch 2g? or do I have to use redsn0w?

Moaz said...

Do i still need to get those ibec and ibss files for jailbreaking? also if i use purplerain??

Cause the iphone will be out here on 31 july, so i am a bit scared of the jailbreaking, that i will never be able to jailbreak?
