So.. How to jailbreak and unlock the new iPhone OS 3.1.*

Just quickly, I have been swamped by my personal life which is why I haven’t written anything in ages.

Well this Jailbreak is the most simple and the most broad, lets go through what happens and what to do.

First of all, this jailbreak will jailbreak all iDevice models, BUT, the iPhone 3Gs (with the NEW bootrom) will be a tethered jailbreak for the moment, as will the iPod 3rd Generation.

The iPod Touch (1,2) and the iPhone (3G ad old 3Gs) are untethered

The iPod Touch (3) and iPhone (new 3Gs) are tethered

Okay, lets begin.

1. Go to http://www.blackra1n.com

2. Scroll to the bottom on the page and click the icon for your OS (windows or mac)

3. Once downloaded, plug your device into your computer (close out of iTunes as well)

4. Then, open the blackra1n app on you computer and click “Make it ra1n”

5. Wait about 20 seconds and you are Jailbroken! If you have a tethered Jailbreak read 6, else skip to 7.

6. Re-run the Jailbreak to start your device. You will need to do this EVERY TIME you want to turn your device on, so either don’t let it turn off or be prepared with a computer.

7. On your springboard (on your device) there will be a blackra1n symbol, Tap it and download cydia. Don’t use Rock it is shite

8. If you want an unlocked phone, in the blackra1n app there is a button that says “sn0w” this is the unlock program, my phone is unlocked while I am on holiday and I have had no problems with it, some people are reporting loss/no signal etc. You will have to find out for yourself if it works on your device.

9. Open cydia, it will re-orginize and clean some stuff up, then crash and you will need to open it up again and do what you need to in cydia (winterboard, qTweeter,  install0us etc..)

And that, my friends is it. Simple aye?
