    -How to use cydia
    - how to add repos?
    - how do i ssh/scp to my phone?
    - 5 best unix commands to know.
    - whats apt? how do i use dpkg?

    ok but what with the "BlackRa1n only supports a tethered jailbreak. This means that once jailbroken you should not let your battery die. If it does die you will need to reconnect it to the computer and use BlackRa1n to boot it." will there be a work around for this

    So in other words, lose all my apps and music and have to manually download later or will I be able to just sync again?

    There's so many 'noobs' arriving in the uk with their iPhone on Orange (poor saps) and like Egypt says, they don't even know what a USB cable is for.
    I know one lad who burst into tears as he couldn't work out where the sim card went.
    I've only been in this 'community' for a year and I've helped about 80 people jailbreak & unlock.
    I've been offered a job in O2 but told I had to leave my iPhone at home and was NOT allowed to mention jailbreaking to anyone, I'm still unemployed!!!
    My arguement is that O2 don't suffer from jailbreaking (unlocking fair enough)
    all in all, guides like this are a neccessary requirement for 'noobs' You were one once!!!!!

    Great program! Its very easy to jailbreak now as compared to before, guys the "USB" cable is the wire that came attached with your chargers just remove the switch and attach the smaller end to your PC's USB slot then ofcourse the other to your iphone... next steps pls follow the ones mentioned above. Hope this helps cheers to Geohot and to the makers of this site.

    I think there should be a description of what to do after the blackra1n "app" is installed on the iphone for all the ppl that are jailbreaking their phone for the first time. I mean, if this was my first go-around for jailbreaking(which it ain't lol), I would wanna know what to do after i get the app on my iphone...

    But hey, that's just me lol...

    This is my second JB both of which were made by Geohot and both worked flawlessly. I have the 16gb 3GS and just updated from 3.0 to 3.1.2, so far everything works fine as far as JB apps. Go Geo Go!!!

    are you like 6...
    it DOES work **** even on the new iphones theres a 1 percent chance that you have a special iphone that don't let you bud.

    Is Geohot's tool capable of jailbreaking the new phones with the updated iboot? For instance, if I went to an AT&T store tomorrow morning (November 17, 2009) would I be able to jailbreak any 3gs in the store? Thank you for replies!

    Geohot is a very talented hacker but I won't use this on my new 3GS due to "BlackRa1n only supports a tethered jailbreak. If it does die you will need to reconnect it to the computer and use BlackRa1n to boot it."
    Might put it on old 2G though.

    Hello
    I jailbreaked my iphone but it's taking a lot of time to unlock after I pressed Install snOw. How much time does it take normally?

    All I can say is that I was at 3.01 and
    everything was perfect. I updated to
    3.1.2 and followed steps to jailbreak
    the phone. I did not use Blacksnow to
    unlock because I'm already with ATT.

    Now, the phone randomly gets
    "No service".
    I followed steps to reset settings.
    It still happens...every single day!

    OK. So if I have an iPhone with the new boot rom (how can i tell?) I can still use blackra1n, however, if I let it die I have to rerun blackra1n with my iPhone tethered, correct? Is rebooting and turning off/on safe, or will i need to tether to get it back up as well?

    In order to use iphone browser or other prograams like it with the blackra1n jailbreak, ya gotta download afc2add off of cydia...

    It'll let ya see the phone as jailbreaked once this package is installed from cydia.
