As you guys all know the Blackra1n jailbreak by GeoHot was released a couple of hours ago. The jailbreak works on all the devices out there are can jailbreak firmware 3.1.2.
I was looking around for a good guide to post to make sure it is as clear as possible for everyone to jailbreak and I have found one now. In general the jailbreak is a VERY simple process to do but if you do get stuck, check out this guide!
All credit for the guide goes to DigitalMarketingTalk.com.
