Troubleshooting:
- Make sure you’ve updated to 3.1.2. This jailbreak is not for older OS versions.
- Download the blackra1n tool to your desktop. Some users have reported issues of the application crashing or having issues with rights on Vista or 7. This should fix those issues. For more convenience. run it as an administrator.
- Make sure no other software is running when you jailbreak to avoid interference.
- If your device doesn’t boot for a long time, hold down the power and home buttons and restart it. If it tells you to connect to iTunes, something must have gone wrong and you might have to restart the process. I know this is annoying, but it has worked for some people after some tries. It does work.
- You won’t lose your data by jailbreaking. Only a fresh firmware restore could mean that your apps might go away, but they can be synced back using iTunes.
- If you have a white screen turn off the device by holding the power and home buttons for 10 seconds and boot it again.
- If iTunes keeps popping up, use CTRL + ALT + DELETE to go to the task manager and kill all iTunes processes which includes iTunesHelper.exe. This can cause interference with the process too.
- Strangely, doing the process on different computers has also worked for some people.
- If you’re unable to use wifi on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This should fix it.

Hi, I have an ipod touch 3g. I am in Sri Lanka and do not have access to wi fi at the moment. I have installed blackra1n, but cannot install the Cydia app without internet. Is there an alternative?
i just bought ipod 32g 3g 1s model, then i used blackra1n, it worked perfectly for a couple of days, then it just crashed, everytime i restore it, it locks in the connect to itunes/apple logo, or simply doesn’t show a thing on the lcd, try to use purplera1n but it won’t work on vista, HELP it is driving me NUTS!!
Ok, here’s my problem. I jailbroke my buddys 3gs on the last day of the 3.1.2 signing. Anyways I didn’t get a chance to save his shsh on cydia. So his jailbreak had a few problems that I started to iron out. 1st off was the no 3g issue. Which I quickly resolved by googling. Took the 3g network settings of his carriers website and manualy input them into his iPhones settings. I thought I covered all the bases until he calls me today and tells me his iPhones video playback went on the phone. So I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how can I fix it without restoring?(no shsh saved) Any input will be appreciated.
DOES THIS WORK FOR THE IPOD TOUCH 32GB, 3RD GENERATION, MC MODEL ???!
