    Can you still tether if you upgrade and jailbreak with Blackra1n? That's the only thing that's kept me from upgrading. I'd miss my tether. LOL

    If you don't care about unlocking your iPhone then you can restore your iPhone from iTunes, which will update it to iPhone OS 3.1.2 (but will also update its baseband so if you care about unlocking then don't restore it) and try using blackra1n again to jailbreak it.

    I have a 2g running 3.0 jailbroken and unlocked with ATT. Can I restore, upgrade to 3.1.2 and then use blackrain and be able to jailbrake it and unlock it again?

    Thanks

    If anyone can help me I would be so grateful! I read through all these comments and nothing has quite described the situation I am having. My phone is upgraded to 3.1.2 software, so i was so excited to see a jailbreak for this finally! BUT... the blackra1n gets stuck in "running" mode and my phone gets stuck with the "connect usb to itunes" logo on it. I am forced to shut off and restart the phone to get it back to normal, but have retried blackrain 4 times and always get the same problem. Any ideas?

    Can Blackra1n jailbreak iPod Touch 1st Generation 2.2.1

    Omg I'm going to cry, okay please someone help with my problem. I have an 8G 3rd Generation IPOD TOUCH not iphone. and I totally do not kno or remember my passcode, so I downloaded this blackra1n because it claims it clears the whole iPod Touch? So I downloaded it and i've ran it but it stays on "entering recovery..." and iTunes won't open my iPod either because of my passcode. And this is not the original computer I first synced my iPod with...we got rid of that computer a while ago. What do I do? Is there anything I can do? Any other program that will get through my problem? Email me please (at Natalia137293c4@aol.com) or respond on this website. Thanks so much for the person who answers my problem. I will seriously cry if I get it to work :)

    I tried every "fix" there is, in every possible way but nothing ever worked. I finally just relinquished myself to the fact that I had lost jailbreak ability for a while. I then tried blackra1n on a different computer and it worked in seconds.
    To everyone having problems, try a different computer.

    maybe this might help for those who are stuck at running and using windows vista.

    1. In windows defender, enable itunes to startup when windows starts.
    2. If you have tweaked your background processes before, enable "Apple mobile devices" to automatic.
    Start button > under search type services
    3. If your phone is stuck at running, press and hold both power and home button and it will attempt to reboot. Release once you see the apple logo. blackra1n will tell you phone is jailbroken. Check and see if the blackra1n icon is inside.
    4. If not jailbroken, close itunes and blackra1n. open blackra1n and try again
    5. Repeat step 3 onwards until you get GeoHot's pict.

    Do not try to run blackra1n under winxp sp2 compatibility as it will not work.

    That was great. I had been wanting to jailbreak my 3G with 312 installed but didnt want to go through all the hassle of the other methods. I will definitely be donating to the cause. Now can you disable the photo radar cameras everywhere too. hahah.
