The wait is finally over! GeoHot, after requesting that everyone Tweets #blackra1n or else he won’t release, has finally release the program which jailbreaks ALL, yup that’s right ALL the iPhone and iPod Touch devices on 3.1.2.
This jailbreak firstly has a super small file and is a one click, 30 second jailbreak making it possibly the easier jailbreak as of late.
It may be a jailbreak for all the devices but there is a bit of a downside for iPod Touch 3rd generation users. They CAN jailbreak but its a tethering jailbreak meaning they have to rerun Blackra1n.exe (241) everytime they want to reboot.
Here is what GeoHot said about the jailbreak:
As many of you already know, I am releasing a jailbreak called blackra1n. What many of you don’t know is that I’m releasing it tonight! At 4AM EST, I want to see the topic “#blackra1n” trending on twitter. Once I see it trending, I’ll put the download link up on blackra1n.com … Isn’t viral “marketing” cool
So, what is blackra1n? blackra1n is a 30 second ALL device 3.1.2 jailbreak. Even the ipt3, but the ipt3 is tethered. In order to boot it, just rerun blackra1n. As far as donations go, they are much appreciated, but not until after blackra1n works for you. I never ask for donations before the tool is released.
Warning 3g and 3gs unlockers, do not upgrade to 3.1.2 using iTunes if you want to keep your unlock. Baseband cannot be downgraded. Check out the dev team’s offerings. Also blackra1n doesn’t hacktivate.
blackra1n.com got a quarter million unique hits, and that’s without any content. This jailbreak is going to be huge!!!
Try it out for yourself! Download it here: Blackra1n.exe (241)
There are no instructions included in the download but it is very simply to do. Simply click, Make it Ra1n in the program and follow the on-screen instructions. We have posted a guide for the jailbreak HERE.
Enjoy!
