WOW. LUCKY 3GS USERS. BET THEY BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. NOW I CAN GO GET ME ONE.
-
Worked fairly smooth but Winterboard doesn't work puts I
IPhone 3GS into safe mode. -
does this add cydia / icy ?
-
Hmmm doing it right now, taking its sweet ass time on the reboot though, I'm a little concerned...
-
and you guys need to fix your hyperlink in the http://purplera1n.com/ link

Failed... Now restoring :-( First ever jailbreak fail and I have owned every iPhone and jail broken every possible firmware, so surprised.
-
Wow, not happy, Iphone is now failing to restore, ffs...
-
i dont know....so far this is looking like bs...
-
can you explain the process...like what happened to your iphone after hitting make it rain about about long did it take for each transition.
-
You didn't have to restore. Just reboot holding power and home until the apple logo and boot and run again. And if you don't get the Purplera1n pic close the app and run again. This is what I had to do....Like 3 or 4 times and finally it worked. No restore either.
-
it's not bs. I have done this and everything works great for me.
-
5th Time lucky the iPhone managed to restore, dare I try again?
-
what does it install ?
-
Wow this thing is buggy as ****! Its a **** to get working!
-
Everything worked greate for me, live clock worked fine, and sb prefs. As soon as I istalled winterboard and rebooted the phone it wouldn't boot. From what I heard the jailbreak doesn't have all the right patches for winterboard to work.
-
it is. it doesnt work how its supposed to. yes trying all kind of crap you might finally be able to get it work. just dont use winterboard or your phone will revert to safemode and i havent been able to find a fix for it yet anywhere on the net. Iphone hacks you might want to put that this doesnt work for foreign os's and that if your using vista you have to run the program with xp compatibility settings. if you tired of messing with this crap and want to restore but keep getting errors. disconnect the phone, reboot your pc, then restore. it should work fine then.
-
yes....its horrible....
-
Works like a champ!!! Took two tries but it got the jobs done. Oh how I've missed Cydia....welcome back! :)
-
tried like 8 times no go. on the third restore.
oh well -
Worked like a charm, I had to say yes to iTunes a few times (confirm you know it needs a restore bla bla bla), then unplug the dock once I saw the Picture... It rebooted, no recovery. Ran Freeze (installed at your nearest open spot), it did its thing. Rebooted (soft Reset) there was Cydia.
I am Running Win Vista x86 SP2Will we still need the iBSS/iBEC And "Purplera1nyday"
-good to have just in case...
I too am a LoYaL At&t customer too (I want 3G service), but I even like the idea of unlocking just to travel with the iPhone3Gx, where international roaming is frighteningly expensive. Ultrasn0w was not my priority... SBSettings and the REAL Flashlight App are what I am after -
Ok here is how you do it for those who get to the point where it stops in restore mode. Leave purplera1n and the iPhone connected; Simply hold the home and power button for 30 seconds, it will remain is restore mode. Close purplera1n application and reopen, you will notice the screen will change to an image, just sit back and it will continue :-)
-
yeah....im done with this ****.
-
is there a mac version. i cant find it. can someone provide the link
-
Close purplea1n, disconnect, restart 15 trillion times. Plug back in wait for iTunes to detect that it needs to be restored. Run purplea1n again, then close it. Then for some magical reason it will restart (iphone), vibrate once and then run the jailbreak process... ;)
Meanwhile while my first ever iPhone is doing this, I'm busy changing my pants a dozen times because I thought I was going to be the little piggy with the house made of bricks...
Downloading Cydia now!
-
Shutdown purplea1n, then unplug the iPhone and restarting it. Then shut if off the iPhone and shut down iTunes for 10 minutes, then turn the iPhone back on. Wait for the restore screen to appear. Plug it back in. Start iTunes. Wait for iTunes to reconginze that a restore is needed. Say yes and accept everything. Then start purplea1n and click make it rain, then the iPhone should finish the process.
