BlackRa1n updated to version RC3
Posted in Firmware, Software, Unlock on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 by adminThe latest version of blackra1n is RC3. It now has hacktivation support, 15 second speed improvement, Tiger+PPC support. And it also supports BlackSn0w utility. BlackSn0w is an unlock for the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. It supports the latest firmware 3.1 and 3.1.2 with baseband 05.11.07 and enables official tethering. Available for both Windows and Mac.
Here is a quick tutorial:
If your device is already jailbroken – run Cydia, add repository blackra1n.com and install blacksn0w. That’s it!
If you havn’t done the jailbreak: go to
PS: If you just bought a new iPhone 3GS or have one that was made recently (approximately after 40th week after iPhone 3GS release): your device has a new BootROM. Unfortunately it is impossible to run regular jailbreak with this new BootROM. There is a sloution – tethered jailbreak. Everything including unlock will work fine. However every time you restart your iPhone, you need to plug it to a computer with blackra1n installed.
