Finally GeoHotz released the first jailbreak for iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS with 3.1.2 firmware out of box. The 600kb utility is also capable of jailbreaking the iPod family including iPod touch 3G. Even the ipt3 is supported, but the ipt3 is tethered. In order to boot it, just rerun blackra1n. blackra1n is a 30 second ALL device 3.1.2 jailbreak. Right now blackra1n is available for windows only and a mac version may be available very soon.

Warning : BlackRa1n will not hacktivate. This means that if you are not with an Apple approved carrier your iPhone will not be activated by BackRa1n. Hopefully, hacktivation and full ipt3 support will be added in a future update. Blackra1n is a jailbreak only tool don’t use this if you want to preserve your baseband. The updated pwnage tool for 3.1.2 will be available very soon.

Alternative Method [VIA iSpazio]

1. Connect the iPhone to your computer, close iTunes and click on "Make It Rain" by blackra1n.

2. When the iPhone crashes in recovery mode, and blackra1n remains in "running", do not close BLACKRA1N and turn off the phone by clicking on Home + Power.

3. The program will tell you that the operation of Jailbreak has been completed but in reality it is not. At this point, then:

• Close Blackra1n;
• Re-open Blackra1n;
• Click on the button "Make it Rain
• Turn on your phone

The program should recognize the iPhone and completing the Jailbreak. [VIA iSpazio]
