7. do you have to back up your phone in itunes first or will it keep your information on it after jailbroken? also how do you undo jailbreak when you need to?

8. As soon as I click make it rain, it'll launch into recovery mode and not reboot at all.

   1. x out tunes then try it that worked for me

9. It does keep the information after jailbreak, but in case the jailbreak isn't successful, it's safer to back up your phone. You can just do a firmware restore to undo the jailbreak.

10. What issues did you have?

11. A tethered jailbreak is possible with MC models so far using blackra1n.

30. check ur firmware nd see if ur on 3.1.2……also check out and see which version or blackra1n ur using….original?rc2?or rc3?

31. This worked great on my 3gs – very simple..Thanks. I do have one question. My phone is version 3.1. Am I able to upgrade to 3.1.2 (update is availble) Does this nullify jailbreak. Will I need to re-jailbreak?

    Thank you

32. Yes, you'll need to jailbreak again.

33. yes i have 3.1.2 and using rc3

34. What happen if i failed the jailbreak
    can i simply restore my iphone 3gs to original mode
    or is it broken forever

36. I have jailbroken it successfully but every time the phone is powered off and back on it goes into recovery mode. I have tried rejailbreaking it and the same thing happens!

37. yea i do have 3.1.2 and using rc3

38. hey i followed all the steps and then when i rebooted i didnt get the application on my iphone 3gs, i need help.

39. Ummm is it right for itunes not to reconize my itouch(3.1.2)? When I close and restart my itouch it gives me that “Connect to iTunes” thing…

40. my iphone 3g 3.1.2 never reboots the screen just stays black but the phone is on i waited 5 minutes for it to change but nothing happened can u help?

41. Once you reboot it automatically goes into recovery mode and you have to then restore via itunes. Only way blackrain works is to never switch off your ipod as Apple has already fixed the crack. hope this helps

42. my phone has been jailbroken but I my sim card isnt recognised and I dont have cydia :(

43. I have a question… I did this and my phone was working fine for days.. but today my phone says ipod… how can I fix this.. I am still gettin text messages but no phone icon on my springboard and it says ipod in the corner where “t-mobile” is supposed to be… help pls 504pornstar@gmail.com

44. Im afraid i have the same problem as “ahhhh1”. I have connected my touch to the computer, i have OS 3.1.2, but its just an error button for me = If anyone has the answer to this, please E-Mail me at lertf@hotmail.com. Thanks, and ciao for now.

45. Would This Jail Breaking Work For An IPOD 8GB?

46. ok, so it seems as though this program is not good. if you restart your ipod, it will not start back up again. in my case, when i try to turn it on, it shows the apple symbol for a bit, and then it shuts back down. so, you have to put your ipod in recovery mode, and the best way to do this is to connect it to your computer, and wait for your ipod to be completely off. then, hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button until the apple logo appears, then you let go of the sleep/wake button while still holding the home button. your ipod should be in recovery mode within a few seconds.

48. So i did this for my ipod touch and everything worked perfectly, but after installing Cydia i turned off my ipod and then when i went to turn in back on it asked me for my passcode, so i put it in and then it said that it was wrong…. did it change my passsword? is there a default password? or something i can do, cause now i cant use it :(

50.

52. Jailbreaking with blackra1n RC3 will work on ipod touch 3g 32gb model?

    Thanks,

53. When I download something from cydia it makes me erase everything on my iPod…what’s wrong?

54. Do you have to connect the iphone to the computer before you begin this process? and do you need to use iTunes for anything during the process?

55. Need help i got a Ipod Touch 3.1.2, I jailbreak by blackra1n RC3 but everytime I shut off ipod and then connect to computer I’m obliged to reset ipod. And when I try to install Cydia in wifi mode it take so long that give different error like “time out” etc.
    How can I manage it?
    Thank a lot

56. I have been able to successfully jailbreak using blackra1n and load Cydia and install AppSync and load apps. However, my issue is everytime I turn off and turn on my 8 GB iPod Touch, I get the screen showing a USB cable pointing to iTunes telling me to connect my touch to iTunes. I proceed to run blackra1n again and it jailbreaks the phone again and reboots, and then I am able to normally use my touch. Is there anyway to avoid seeing the screen showing a USB cable pointing to iTunes? If I am not near a computer, and I turn it on and I get that, that the touch is useless. I’ve only been able to use the touch is running blackra1n (RC3 the latest) whenever I do plug it in, and when it is tethered to the computer.

    Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, Happy Holidays!

    1. Sadly, there isn’t a way yet for iPod Touch 3G. As soon as there is I’ll cover it.

57. I jailbroken my iPod touch 3g 3.1.2 using RC3 and for some things I have to rebootmy iPod touch when I turn of my iPod and turn it back on it goes to recoery mode Or the image of a cable and iTunes is there anything that I can do to stop this I hear this is called a teether jailbreak

58. Just wondering. I’m living in West Africa and am having a fully functional yet used iphone 3g 8gb brought to me here. The phone is not jailbroken and I’m as of right now not sure what firmware or baseband the phone is on. When the phone gets to me here, if it is not on the latest firmware and baseband, can I update it via itunes and then use blackra1n/blacksn0w to jailbreak/unlock it? Does the phone need to have the original carrier’s sim card in it to perform this process? Thanks for the help.

59. have a jailbreaked and unlocked iphone and then i download tom tom , video recorder for iphone 3g 3.1.2an app but it hasnt installled…..helppp

60. I had a problem, it crashed when I checked the XP compatibility mode. I have Vista, 2G iTouch 3.1.2 and all you have to do is not check the box. Because notice, it says check the box if it crashes. Mine crashed a lot. Hope this helps.

61. blackrain rc3 is not fully working with ipod touch 32gb 3g OS 3.1.2

    it will jailbreak the player but when i restart it will always ask to recover with itunes so what i have to do is run the blackrain rc3 application everytime i restart my ipod its kind of annoying….
    i hope a new version is comming soon that fixes this problem

62. Well I have a freaking problem my jail break with this works… In a way… It will not let me open apps downloaded from the normal app store, well it will open but it just fucking closes 5 seconds after opening any apps from the store, this only happened after jailbreak…. WTF!???

63. apps from app store don’t work now wtf do I do? they just open and then close 5 sec. after opening them…

    1. try jail breaking again?

64. Do I have to restore my itouch 3g?

65. my touch 3 gen just crashed on me.blackra1n is a piece of ****.dont even bother using it unless u want to restore your ipod every time u turn it on

    1. You idiots, why not do some freakin research. When you need to “re-jailbreak” your touch 3g every time it restart, thats called a tethered jailbreak, and thats all that exists for the moment for ipod touch 3rd gen’s.

66. My apps from the official APP Store don’t work after the jailbreak… :S
    Should I do a restore and then run blackrain?

67. I’m having the same problem that Slash is having. I go to open apps that I have downloaded from the official app store, and the screen opens up like the app is about to load, and then after a few seconds it goes right back to the main menu… I’m so confused >< any way to fix this? Or does anyone know exactly why this is doing what it's doing? Please e-mail me with any answers: punkinpie50@hotmail.com

68. how do u get that app cookie thing to get free apps

69. can you buy apps on the itunes store for free after jailbrake

70. i installed blackra1n and when i switch my ipod off it reboots it. Any solutions so this doesnt happen?

    1. yeaaa no…. theres no solution for that…. for 3rd gens its only tethered so that means everytime u switch off it reboots and u have to jailbreak again… this is called the tethered version….. they still have to make a untethered on for 3rd gens.

71. my 8gb 3.1.2 wont restore it faisl to do so… this is after it was jailbroken….. it only brings up the itunes and usb cord….

    i need help getting it back to normal… i try jailbreaking again but that does not work either…. it just has the jailbreak dude on my screen forever!!!

    what should i do???

72. how can i get this same easy download and installation for 3.1.3

73. it is really an hour to reboot the ipod?

74. I have a iphone 3gs 3.1.2 firmware, mc model and i have a untethered jailbreak. Everything works fine. If you have any problems with your iphone or itouch rebooting then try dfu mode if that dont work keep trying. Hold the power and home button together for 10 seconds then release the power button while still holding the home for 5 more seconds. I thought i hade an tethered jailbreak but i dont, even though i have a mc model.

    1. Joe,
