GeoHot decided he did not want to wait for the iPhone firmware 3.1 was released by Apple. He decided that he wanted to be in the public’s eye again by making it Ra1n. He has released the iPhone 3GS jailbreak to the general public and dubbed his jailbreak “Purple Ra1n” You can download the jailbreak at PurpleRa1n.com. Like I said in my previous post, UltraSn0w will unlock the iPhone 3GS as well due to the same baseband.
Now get out there jailbreak and unlock your iPhone 3GS, but make sure you do not upgrade to 3.1 when it because available or you could lose them both forever.
Windows version only with Mac to come soon.
WTF, no MAC version 🙁
god this aint right…..
I mean yay a jailbreak is released but doesnt this give apple the upper hand if they figure out the hole being exploited
i agree with truehybrid they did the same thing with the 3.0 beta jailbreak
Yep that’s why the dev team still hasn’t released theirs
but now my real arguement is
How does this jailbreak work?
do you have to supply the iboot, cert/sig, or anything at all?
too risky at this stage
Worked fine for me.
Connect iPhone, run purplera1n, click button, wait a good while for phone to reboot, run the Freeze app on your iPhone to install Cydia, reboot again, done.
soo first you rain on the phone then you freeze the rain 😛
ok on the technically level hows it work ?
it is a mac version 🙂 make it ra1n for mac 😉
