    1. how to i get the themes i download to show? if i reboot i have 2 restore and start over

      2. hahaha you losers do you know how to fix it now ??
        if not it is blankly obviousss like seriously..it even says “UPDATE: If your device doesn’t boot again, don’t panic. Just re-run blackra1n while the device is plugged in.” like omg !

        1. I tried that Stace, and then it just got stuck on the waiting for ipod screen, and now my ipod is stuck on the screen where it says plug in to itunes and I can’t restore.

        2. Actually now I can get it all done but it says all done wait for reboot and I wait but nothing happens, and i reboot manually by pressing home and lock button for 20 secs and it restarts like regular. I just can’t get the black ra1n app onto ipod..

      3. i figured out a way to get past that restore screen all u have to do is go to black ra1n and jailbreak from there and wat the jailbreak will do is hack that and just jailbreak it

    2. My i just ran the balick ra1n and it worked and everyhting but now my ipod won’t turn bakc on and it wonrt even show up on itunes any suggestions on what to do??

      1. go on itunes and click restore and if the ipod turns back on click uninstall

        1. but if you do restore it in itunes, doesn’t that erase all your apps and everything on the ipod?

      2. i think you have to plug your itouch in to itunes and click some button.
        theres videos about it on youtube.

      2. It worked on mine. and i also have 7 pages of apps and didn’t erase any of them.

  2. Hi, I am locked on to a network operator and I dont want it to get unlocked. So is it possible to use this jailbreak onto an iphone 3gs without unlocking? Thanx.

    1. i have the same as you iphone 3gs 3.1 and jailbroken with blackra1n and it works very well so just jailbreak it!!!!!

  9. If you are already using 3.1.2, just connect your iPod, run the blackra1n app and let it do its work. It should work smoothly. I jailbroke my iPod Touch in the first go with blackra1n. You don't need purplera1n for this.

  10. Reading other forums I have read that u need to have some tool called pwnage tool/redsnow to unlock those firmwares on 3.1.2 but its not released yet. I have got the firmware 3.0.1 and I am wondering whether I have to use this blackra1n hack.

  11. If you want to unlock your iPhone, you should use Ultrasnow. But it won't work if you upgrade to 3.1.2 firmware and could cause issues down the road when unlocking since the baseband would be upgraded. You should wait for an updated version of Ultrasnow.

    1. Hi
      same happened to me! now all that comes up is the apple symbol
      i can’t even use my iphone!
      I downloaded blackra1n then cydia and through cydia downloaded blacksnow to unlock my original iphone and it went black but hasnt rebooted and its been 48 hours!
      any advice??

  20. i have an iphone 3g the firmware is 3.1.2 and the baseband 05.11.07 can i jailbreak it with this blackra1n???

  21. right tried again same thing ipod stays in dfu tried holding home and power the same time and still the same any help please

  22. Ok can u like give me step by step instructions as im using 3.1 firmware which came pre-installed instead of 3.1.2. Should I use pwnage tool/redsnow/ultrasnow first? Or should I go straight to activating the Blackra1n app? Thanx.

  23. Doesn't work here. After the “Enjoy your jailbroken iphone” message, it keeps waiting for reboot. I manually reboot it but still doesn't work. iPod Touch 1G here. Any solution?

  25. THIS HACK WILL JAILBREAK YOUR iPHONE ON THE OS 3.X.X – MEANING 3.1.2, 3.1 etc. etc…

    NO UNLOCK AVAILABLE UNTIL NOW ONCE YOU'VE UPDATED TO 3.1 / 3.1.2 USING ITUNES!!!!!!!!!!

    WHICH MEANS DO NOT UPDATE THE OFFICIAL FIRMWARE VIA ITUNES ONCE HACKED.

    IF HACKED IT MIGHT UPDATE YOUR BASEBAND AND YOU CANNOT UNLOCK IT IN THE FUTURE.

  27. Itunes shouldn't be running when with blackra1n running. You should try restoring your ipod touch firmware to the default 3.1.2 without running blackra1n and then try the jailbreak again.

  29. It should work because according to George who created this tool, it works for all the iPhone and iPod Touch devices. Let me know how it goes for you.

    1. i try putting a theme on my ipod touch with cydia and a blackra1n jailbreak and it tells me to reboot and i did and it went to the connect to itunes thingy how do i get it to work?

  32. Some people have been reporting this issue. You could try restoring the firmware and try blackra1n again. It worked for me in the first try while I wrote this guide. I had wi-fi disabled by the way.

  33. been waiting 25mins for my itouch 3rd gen, blackra1n is still entering recovery, how long should i wait or do i try again

  35. I did receive a message saying that my ipod touch has been jailbroken but I don't see any new icons on my screen? I am using ipod touch 2nd generation firmware 3.1.2. Please help.

  36. How long should this take? It's been stuck at the entering recovery mode for about 1 1/2 hours now…

  42. I restored the touch and ran blackra1n. Got the successful message but when I go to Itunes it tells me that the ipod is recovery mode. I must restore this ipod before I can use it with itunes ;(

    Thx

  81. I don´t get it, first you warn “do not upgrade to 3.1.2 using iTunes ” and after that, in the instructions you say “Upgrade to OS 3.1.2 via iTunes”.

    my phone it´s like new, never jailbreak, just upgraded to 3.1.2 using itunes. Can I jailbreak with this method?

  82. ************help please******************

    i have been trying to do this but i need major help.. i have an itouch software 3.1.2 (im not sure which gen my itouch is but its 8gig with external volume control), itunes 9, windows vista but i changed the compatibility thing. so when i try to run the blackra1n with itouch plugged in it says “restoring” but then it opens itunes and forces me to do an itunes restore, at the end of that restore blackra1n says “Done!!” but i dont have the app on my itouch and my itouch never shows a picture of geohot… Any help will be greatly appreciated and i can be contacted at Blazejunk@yahoo.com..

  84. Can anyone help?? Everything works fine. However, when it says “wait for reboot”, the picture goes off the screen, the ipod turns off, then does NOTHING. What do I do???

  86. If I jailbreak, will I lose all my current apps and all music/videos on the ipod?

    1. no, everything stays. as long as your ipod is backed up on your computer, even if all hell breaks loose on your ipod, you can restore it. bottom line, nothing is deleted.

  89. I updated my new ipod touch to 3.1.2 via itunes. I restored the firmware and ran blackra1n but I did not see any blackra1n icon after the ipod rebooted. Do I have to be connected to the internet via wi-fi for this process? Please help. Thanks

    Thanks

  111. purplera1n doesn't work w/ 3.1/3.1.2

    you need blackra1n

    I have not been able to get it working though

  112. Thank you very much !!! It worked perfectly! All I need to do now is to get my wi-fi setting correct. Thanks again for your help. Guys.. The blackra1n icon is usually on the second screen! Slide your finger to the left and you should see it on the top left ;) Good luck! I'm off to sleep! oh Lord !

  114. Hai. I tried your guide but it didn't work. D: I didn't see geohot's picture on my phones screen & it was stuck on rebooting device when I ran it as Windows XP (using the compatibility thing.) & Also I can't backup my phone. Help please?

  115. i have tried and tired to get my ipod touch to work with this program and it wont work keeps freein at the itunes usb screen. I have a ipod touch 3g with firmware version 3.1.2. Can anyone please help me.

  119. yh i hav same problem with my 3gen touch repeatin process for 3rd and final time now

  121. i have a ipod touch 3g i jailbreak it and i see geohot pictures and it says wait for reboot.. and i wait… it turns off but doesn't turn back on… what do i do?

  123. …and it worked, jst put the icon on my desktop, ran it and it worked wiithin 30seconds on 3rd time of tryin, thanks!

  125. I have followed instructions carefully and no luck. I have restored and tried again. I am having the same issue as Yatin had, yet he did not say what it was that he did to get it to work. Do I need to completely shut iTunes down with msconfig? or just exit and then run blackra1n? When it says that ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored, is that normal?

  130. yeah i get the same problem it gets stuck on the blank screen after geohot face appears. Think this program dosnt work for the ipod 3g 8gb must be a fake.

    1. are you on pot? do you realize how many people use this? and how many have 8gb? this works almost flawlessly. if something is wrong its either by you giving up or you messing up.

  131. Am i right to think that when itunes opens as soon as blackra1n says it will be jailbreak after reboot is the conflict? If I am …how do I get itunes to stop reading the ipod until it reboots? I am not able to get past this point. The screen stays blank and when I reboot myself, my touch is normal with no icon.

  133. Hi, I have an IPhone 3GS, i installed the 3.1.2 firmware and followed the process, but my iphone gets stuck in the recovery mode with itunes logo and the plug image, blackra1n stucks with the message “entering recovery…” and nothing happens, please help me solve this problem, i've tried to launch blackra1n using admin mode, but didn't work, please…

  134. Jailbreak completed in less than 15 seconds… Thanks blackrain and the creator of this blog :)

  135. It gets stuck on recovery i waited 20 mins and nothing happened. can you help please?

  136. yes i tried no luck… and it says its still in recovery mode for itunes… so i restored it and tried 3 more times and no luck

  137. okay i downloaded it and plugged my ipod in and opened blackra1n and i clicked make it ra1n and now it says “waiting for phone” and it wont do anything. and now my ipod displays the usb itunes thing on the screen. what do i do? what did i do wrong?

  138. k. i jailbroke my ipod touch 2gen. but i got no music. no nothing. if i plug it into itunes will it sync?

  139. i did all the stuff up to the “make it ra1n” and now it says “waiting for phone” and it wont do anything now. and my ipod touch is in the usb itunes connect screen. what did i do wrong?

  140. THIS SUCKED MY IPOD KEEPS SAYING ITUNES HAS ENCOUNTER A PROBLEM RESTORE ITOUCH AND I HAD BEARLY RESTORED IT WITH 3.1.2 IT SUCKED AND I EVEN DID RIGHT CLICK ON THAT PURPLE SUCK TO MAKE IT COMPATIBLE WITH MY WINDOWS . SHIT….

  141. hey, please help me out.
    I read that itunes needs to be closed for jailbreak to work so i closed itunes and ran blackrain. when my ipod goes into dfu with blackrain, itunes automaticly opens and it shows the usb screen on the ipod touch.
    What do I do? It there a way to disable itunes from automaticly starting?

  146. Do I need wi-fi to install Cydia to after I get blackra1n icon ? Or can I install Cydia using data cable too ?

  149. Hi, I've got a little problem. If I want to download cydia, it always says: error downloading cydia. Could not download. Error: Error Doman=NSURLErrorDomain Code =-1001 UserInfo=0x17aa10 “timed out”

    Can you help me please?

  151. Will it work with iPod touch 8gb version too ? Has anyone tried on this set ?

  153. yeah i did and it says waitng for recovery and then the itunes usb thing pops up on the ipod, and it stays on the waiting for recovery screen forever…plzzzz help man please!!!!!!!!!!!!

  154. Hey, if I start “blackra1n” it always says: Using Cached Apps List. The apps can not be downloaded. Make sure you have a valid internet connection. But my internet connection is ok… Can you help me pls?

  160. How long does it take to install cydia? also, can you download apps without wifi?

  161. Ditto with me, ive probably restored 20 times now. I guess I'll just sit tight and wait for more responses, or for my pc guru to figure out how to do this for me. BlackRa1n runs, the logo pops up on the ipod (2gen 8gb, 3.1.1 ootb with 3.1.2 upgraded), then the program on the PC says “done, waiting for reboot” and it NEVER REBOOTS. If anyone does come up with a good answer please email me at g0dless420@yahoo.com thanks XD

  162. I've been waiting for mine to reboot… it's been about 5 minutes and nothing. I've tried 3 times… maybe 4 is a charm?

  163. WOW! im on the iphone 3gs 3.1.2 and i clicked make it rain and the next thing i know my phone was jailbroken. amazing. I LUV U

  164. Step Three : Hit the large make it rain button, and wait for your device to entering in Recovery mode. The conventional recovery mode screen is replaced by GeoHotz photo like the screenshot below.

    The Recovery screen has not changed.

  165. how long does it usually take? and what does the screen look like when its processing?

  166. some one please email me what to do, ive read so many sights today that i cant remember where i've been… the blackra1n app appears to run fine, and it gives the message “done, waiting for reboot” …but thats it. after that point it doesnt reboot even if i try to use dfu mode (sleep/home for 10 secs). I have an 8gb 2nd gen 3.1.1 out of the box and updated to 3.1.2… any info may get missed if posted here so please email me a respones at g0dless420@yahoo.com… g0d bless Geo!!

  167. I just ran blackra1n on my iPhone 3Gs 3.1.2 and all worked fine. I actually did it twice… I then tried with my iPod 3G 3.1.2, and no luck. After geo's face shows up for a good minute, and then the loading icon shows on the bottom of the icon, the screen goes blank, and nothing else happens. I left it there for 15 minutes, and it won't even turn back on. When I load up iTunes it says it needs to be restored. iTunes pops up during the JB process, but it did it with the iPhone, so I think it's irrelevant as long as iTunes is closed when you start the process.

    I think it is safe to say, unless someone specifically posts that they got it working with their iPod 3G 3.1.2, that it in fact does not work.

    Note:
    I've tried the process several times fo rthe iPod with no prevail. I performed the process on the iPhone twice, successfully each time. 3.1.1 and 3.1.2

  168. i have the same problem i bought my ipod touch yesterday its a 3g 8gb one any help?

    1. which problem do you have? if you bought it recently it should be running 3.1.2 software. just download blackra1n then run it. the icon, which is a black rain drop, should appear on your i touch. click it, then download cydia, then you can download all the apps and junk.

  171. Well had a working jailbroken 3.01 now have a unjailbrakable version 3.12, thanks to this non working app

  183. You keep saying that, but people keep having the same problem. Re-running blackra1n.exe simply results in the screen saying that its waiting for an iPhone/iPod to be connected. Of course disconnecting the iPod fully, waiting a few seconds, and reconnecting it does NOT resolve any issue.

  184. I am having a hard time Jail breaking my Touch 2g 16 gb

    Maybe i have to Run as Administrator along with running in XP compatibility mode ?

    ( I Have tried both 32 and 64 Bit computers, both windows vista )

    Any help anyone? Thanks

  185. This is what the developer has told for the iPod Touch 3G jailbreak. It worked fine for me and other people though so I'm trying to help those who are unable to jailbreak with all I can.
    Sorry to know it doesn't work for you.

  186. yes – I've repeated the bloody process 6 times! Restore ipod, run blackra1n, doesnt reboot. Then the same again. 6 times! What do i do?????

  187. i have just run this on my wifes 3.1.2 8gb 3g, i am running windows 7 x64 rtm build 7600 (if this info helps anyone) and all i did was run blackra1n as admin then (no compatability mode) all was good, make sure itunes is not open before you try running it might conflict with the app (possibly), hope this info is helpfull to someone

  189. thanks for the thingy it works lol 2gen ipodtouch 3.1.2 came up fine, but doesn’t dl cydia

  190. I got Blackra1n installed smoothly on my ipod touch 3rd gen but I can not get Cydia/Rock and/or Icy install with the Blackra1n icon. It giving me the error below even though the safari and youtube are working with my wifi.

  193. hey there
    great guide, im having some problems though
    i have an iphone 3g on 3.1.2
    on windows vista
    the problem is that when i run blackra1n
    it goes all good till it goes to recovery mode
    where it does not turn to the picture of the guy,
    rather it is the apple connect to itunes logo

    ive tried to do different things ( run as administrator, change compatibility ect.)
    but no luck?

    any suggestions/solutions?

    thanks alot zach

  194. Useless answer. If the phone bricks out to DFU then blackra1n hangs at the first screen waiting for th phone to be conected.

    It's s non-recoverable DFU state (unlike the redsn0w issues) which requires restoration.

    Re-running blackra1n is fucking useless, and geogay is a script kiddie with a god complex

  195. Whenever I try this, I hit “make it rain” then Itunes opens up and says it “has detected an Ipod in recover mode. You must restor this Ipod before it can be used with Itunes.” After restoring it and what not, I try to run Blackrain again and same thing occurs. Any1 know whats up?
    Thx

  196. Cool, very easy to install. With vista OS, remember to copy “blackra1n” to the C: and run it in xp compatability mode. Thanks fent!

  199. ok so i tried to jailbreak my ipod but it wouldnt work (keep in mind im using vista) so i tried to NOT run it in compatibility mode and it worked fine

  200. and by the way do NOT and i repeat do NOT install icy only install rock and cydia bcuz icy will corrupt an important file that i cannot name right now and besides icy is useless

  201. but if your ipod doesnt reboot close blackra1n and run it again and if it doesnt work at all place blackra1n in your C: drive and run it from there and do the same if it doesnt reboot

  202. Hey Every one..
    I Am Having Problem Jailbreaking My Ipod Touch 2g On Windows Xp. The Problem Is That When Its Done Jailbreaking , It Does'nt Reboot . After The Picture The Screen Turns Black. And It Does Not Reboot The Screen Stays Black . PLz HELP :D

  203. hey can i ask u something if i upgrade my ipod does the jailbreak still erase??? just like the old times ;)

  204. everything went fine and i was so happy until i was installing winterboard, it installed winterboard and said to reboot i clicked the reboot button and it sent me to recovery mode! i tried it like three times and the same thing happened, cydia works fine and everything but when i try to install winterboard it sends me to recovery mode and i have to recover and lose everything!! what can i do?

  205. the screen goes black everytime after the picture shows up, i restored and tryed the same thing many times, and it goes black again, what do i do? help plz

  206. Once jailbroken, is there a way that i can go back (like if i wanted to sell my itouch)?

  207. After The Picture My Ipod Touch Goes Black .. And It Stays Black .. I Dont Know Whats The Problem .. I Am Usning Windows XP

  208. is purplera1n a good program to unlock ipt 8gb 3.1.2

    will it crash my ipod

    will cydia and all the programs in it work

    is it tethered

    and what red snOw version jailbreaks ipt 8gb 3.1.2

    1. Purplera1n unlocks iphones. This means it stops them from only being able to use a certian sevice provider.

      So this is useless for an IPT.

  209. Got it finally, that is I put my itouch back to normal. Now going to try again install this thing.

    I had to unload itunes and reinstall the newest version (ran in XP mode on Vista) and then itunes restored everything.

  210. Do a ctrl+alt+delete and end all processes like itunes, ituneshelper, ipodservice.

  211. I have problem on my New-Ipod Touch 2g 8g Fw 3.1.1 which released with Ipod Touch 3G 32GB and 64Gb.

    I wait for rebooting sooo longggg and my itouch not responding and cannot turn on.

    I have to restore again by clicking on the restore button in itune.Then It upgrade my itouch to Fw 3.1.2! I try to downgrade back to 3.1.1 but it failed.
    What should I do!?

  213. Hey guys. I need your help please.. I installed blackra1n a few hours ago on my ipt 2G. When I switched on my ipt, an itunes screen appeared asking to connect to itunes. Does anyone know why?It worked perfectly after rebooting but not after I switched off and on again..Does that mean that I have to connect my ipt to a computer and run blackrain each time before i can use it?

  214. how does a guy have to wait for the ipod to reboot. i have literally waited 30 mins. still nothing. i have re run blackrain.. nothing. any other ideas? i have the latest ipod touch 3g with firmware 3.1.2. plz help if possible. email address tower118@hotmail.com

  215. how long did it take you to reboot yatin? i have been waiting for around 40 mins now. still waiting!!!

  217. help, i tried it on my my ipod touch 8gb 3g and the screens just gone white nd won't do anything, what do i do????

  219. George Hotz fails, hes just a kid and doesn't understand algebra better yet to make a functioning iphone apple desensetizing program.

    IMPORANT READ THIS SHIT ASAP —

    This junk does not and will not work with the following
    IPhone 3g 8GB/16GB/32GB Models.

    Repeated attempts at this will screw up software embedded into the phone its self required to handle itunes – you will get errors trying to restore the phone back to original firmware.

    George hotz fails etc.
    Wait for some competent hax0rs to develop a proper program that doesn't whimsicly work in 30 seconds.

  221. You don’t have to run in compatibility mode…Compatibility mode made it not work for me.

  222. ok need help i re ran black ra1n but it didnt work plz help i have an ipod touch 3rd gen

  224. followed all instructions as listed. all went well until reboot time… my ipod touch now will not turn on at all! my heart is slightly broken. ive read dozens of similar problems as my own, yet with no definitive solution. i tried holding the home button down then plugging it in, and got nothing. tried holding power button and home button down, again, nothing. there has to be a way to force a reset or something on this device. im entirely lost and upset at this point, im not sure if its the softwares fault or the hardware. i just need some flavor of a solution to this annoying problem. thanks for your help guys :)

    1. Plug in the ipod then go into itunes. click on the picture that says “Administrators Ipod” and hit restore. WARNING: THIS WILL DELETE ALL DOWNLOADED APPS AND SET DATA. IPOD WILL BE THE SAME AS IT WAS WHEN YOU FIRST GOT IT!

  227. Thanks sooooo much.
    I have an ipod touch 1g with a broken home button and never thought i’d be able to jailbreak it without using DFU mode.

  228. when i run Blackra1n it starts but when it comes to reboting it just stays black pleas help

  229. It took abt 1 minute for the entire process. But I supposedly can't use it now because I switched it off.

    Whenever I switch off the Ipod, I have to run blackra1n again..That's what was commented on my situation..I don't know if this is true ;(

  231. Hi there.. This is what someone commented on my problem.. Could this be true?

    ” Apparently with ipt 2g you have to run blackrain every time you restart “

    1. So then why is it always asking me to connect to Itunes after I shutdown and restart my touch? ;(

  233. when i turn my ipod off and i turn it back on it shows that its on recovery mode and i have to redo the restore on itunes so it could go back to normal or else i can’t take off the recovery mode it would just stay and also i have to redo the jailbreak with blackra1n. how can i fix this problem from the ipod so i could turn it off and back on like a normal ipod?

  234. This might be worth a short .. uninstall and re-install iTunes and restore your Ipod version.

    Plug the Ipod into the USB and wait for about 10 minutes before you start the process ;)

    Good luck!

  236. there must be a way to install cydia without wifi……my iphoooone 3g with firmware 3.1.2 has jaailbroken but i dont have wifi to install cydia plzzz guide me some step to do it manually…..

  237. This is because it is a tethered jailbreak for ipt3. one you turn of you have to run again. Thats just how George wrote it to work on ipt3.

  239. Ditto, cannot get it to work, just bought ipod touch 3g on sunday, updated and all that crap, followed every set of directions around and still have the black dead screen after the boys face. I give up for a day or two when someone figures this out.

  240. ok. allow me to clarify this… my ipod touch is no longer being turned on period. not when plugged in, not when going through the holding-down-home-button process, not at all. infact, its not even picked up by the computer at all. some of you guys have been throwing out solutions assuming that it will be picked up as plugged in… doesnt apply to me. please aid me in fixing my new paperweight.

  241. “when i run Blackra1n it starts but when it comes to reboting it just stays black pleas help”

    “UPDATE: If your device doesn’t boot again, don’t panic. Just re-run blackra1n while the device is plugged in.”

    All I did for my Jailbroken 2G Touch 3.1 was

    1. On my MacBook, in iTunes 9, downloaded and updated (not restore) to 3.1.2
    2. Restarted in BootCamp Win XP SP3
    3. Plug in Touch
    4. Start blackrain
    5. I got a black/blank screen after the DFU plug screen
    6. Closed and reran blackrain
    7 Then I saw the picture.
    8. Be patient and wait after this.

  242. i just jailbroke my 3gs 16 gig on my vista computer and it worked perfectly and extremly fast!!!!! very nice job. also i DID NOT use xp mode just put black ra1n in the c drive and launch as admin.

  244. As some others have said, running in compatibility mode didn't work for me either. I just turned off compatibility and it worked. Quick and easy. Using vista

  245. myne shows his picture then just never reboots :(? i had to restore it for it to turn on then i treid again nd it still didnt work someone please hlep mee

  246. Duudee i Feell Youu. Imm doinng thee samme thinng it wonnt rebbooot after his picture im scared ass shit that it broken.

  247. I was hella scared when it happened to me, everything was blackout and i was hella panic, but finally, i just simply plug the usb cord back to the touch, then restored and everything came back to normal. Thank god it came back up and running. After i restored, and try blackra1n again, it happened again just like the first time, so after i restored again, i've stopped the processed of jailbreaking it thru blackra1n, nevertheless, my iphone 3g works perfectly find thru the whole blackra1n process. Good Luck Guys!

  248. does anyone knw when the MC jailbeak will be ot i wantt mine jailbroken and i know have a ipod touch 8 gig 3rd gen wth version 3.1.2 and its an MC version :L please reply

  249. iPod Touch 2nd Gen Upgraded to 3.1.2 – Jailbreak with blackra1n : My experience was different than anyone elses so far so I thought I'd give you all my example to maybe help out if you run into the same problems. First, I upgraded to 3.1.2 in iTunes, after backing up everything , I also used Cydia's back up programs as well. Next I made it rain! And boy did it. It just stuck on running, and instead of the picture of that sexy boy I got the picture saying I needed to plug my iPod Touch into iTunes. So I waited around for about 20 minutes. Obviously realizing nothing is happening, I unplug my iPod Touch, close blackra1n and start over. This time it was very different. I left the Ipod touch on, then ran blackra1n. About a tenth of a second later, i briefly saw George's picture on my Ipod and it was done, after a quick reboot. So i turned it back on, and I finally had the teardrop thing icon in my screens. I clicked that, got an error of some kind, just ignored it and went ahead and started installing Cydia, it did a reorganize and closed, i started it back up with the Cydia icon and it was like magic.

    So everything works very simply. If you get stuck somewhere, just start over. I've got everything back perfectly. I will give this boy some money, and maybe if he'd like to go on a date, or just maybe I'll put out a little for him. Thank you cute boy.

  251. did you find any solution for this problem? because i have the same problem :(

  252. Hey please tell if me youve found a solution to reboot ipod normally.. it sucks that i have to run blackrain every reboot.

  253. mine also…already try to restore…but itunes keep saying that the firmware is not compatible….

  255. I'm new to this jailbreaking thing, and just got a 3G Touch, 32gb. I want to jailbreak, but I don't know how great I feel about doing this with a tethered break. Is there any guess you might have as to if / when we might see a 3G untethered break?

    It just bothers me knowing I would have to restart the thing at my computer all the time…

  256. Instructions:
    Plug in your iphone
    Run BlackRa!n
    Hold the Home button
    Then the Geohot logo appear
    Wait for the phone to reboot.
    Done…

  261. OK…. so heres the deal, need some help hoping you guys can offer some answers… Back when the only way to hack your ipod touch 2g 8gig was to winpwn it, i tried that. Unsuccessfully… I always had a problem with the dfu and/or recovery mode, or what not… after countless attempts, i gave up. Now that this *easy* way is out, i decided to give it another shot, low and behold, blackra1n gets stuck on the entering recovery mode. I have gone through all of the other attempts and steps and everything, including holding home, putting it in C:/ EVERYTHING, including the list that the guy put up for the 8,000 questions. I am currently running vista 64 bit, and have tried it on this computer, and my old desktop running xp, no go on either… Both times it gets to the point where it puts the ipod into the plug in to restore screen, and goes no further. Anyone available to help????

  262. I should probably also state, that i have restored it to 3.1.2 after every attempt and getting stuck.

  263. Ok, nevermind, i got the damn thing working just in time for my ipod to still have life. I ran it without using compatibility mode, and it worked flawlessly.

  264. Ok bro, i tried this and verything was going right, and when it was waiting for my itouch to reboot, i was the picture of george, but it then turned off and i couldnt get it to turn back on. Itunes recognized there was an itouch docked but i lost all of my apps and information. What the hell happened?

  265. I had issues trying to run this on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 with my iPhone 3G. I had made the mistake of running it from a download folder I have on another shared network drive about 100 times. Everytime I tried to run it, Blackra1n would say running, but the iPhone would show the plug into iTunes screen. So I tried dumping the .exe file on the root of the c: drive, rebooting the iPhone, and rerun Blackra1n. It ran perfectly there without turning on any compatibility options.

  266. HELP!!!
    I just blackra1n my ipod touch 3rd generation, it works, but when i shut down my ipod and turn it back on, it shows the plug into itunes screen, the only way to make it work again, is to re-run blackra1n again, is that a way to fix this problem? help.

  277. I have heard that the jailbreak for the ipod touch 3g is unthetered wich means that if you shut it down it isn't jailbroken anymore.

  279. HI, I have an iphone 3gs 32gb and I wanna try the jailbreak but I don't want to screw my phone so I have a couple questions:

    1. Will I be able to make calls from it and use the 3g network from at&t ?
    2. If I restore it to normal… does some one will notice it was jailbroken?
    3. When it's hacked, do I have to “unlock” it to use on the at&t network?
    4. If i restore it after the hack, will i have my normal service back and the 3g network?
    5. This works for 3.1.2 only?
    6. Any difference if i do it on mac or xp?

    Any other help will be appreciated

  281. go to top where it says “Once your iPod Touch has upgraded to 3.1.2, download blackra1n. Use Windows XP compatibility mode if you’re using Windows Vista or Windows 7.' and click blackra1n

  282. Help! the display remains black, couldn't turn back on the ipod touch 3rd gen after the picture..
    Have anyone solved the problem yet? thanks

  283. Im not getting the Blackra1n application.. it goes back photo appears and then reboots.. but no app :( any ideas?

  284. 2G Ipod Touch 3.1.2 here.
    I dont see Geohot.
    All i see is the USB > iTunes thing.
    My iTunes is telling me to restore, blackra1n is saying entering recovery.
    What do i do?

  285. Great program very simple worked for me just jailbreak my ipod touch 64 gb in less then a min great job George

  286. I have a 2g version 3.1.2 itouch n i did this.
    everything worked up to the part wen the task helper said done, wait for reboot.
    My screen stayed black, n now the itouch isnt even turninq on.
    Idk whut happened. Help pleasee.

  289. that happened to me the first time jailbreaking on 2.2.1 and i just held the off button and the home button then it reboted it was on the the screeen was not responding untill ii held the buttons

  291. Im in need of some help, Im using a ipodtouch 64gb vista and i granted all permissions that i could ect. stopped all itunes applications and everything, put blackra1n in my local disk and it just stays on the part where it puts my ipod into recovery mode, any suggestions? im using vista

  292. It is tethered so you will need to plug it in and “make it ra1n” every time that you restart your device in order to boot it. Blackra1n is great but seems more like a temp fix till dev team can develop a stable one.

  293. can you use this jailbreak if you have the iPod touch 3rd gen but havent updated to 3.1.2???

  294. ive got ipod touch 2g 3.1.2 firmware but every time i try this jailbreak it keeps comming up with the itunes logo but not geohots and if geohots logo does come up it doesnt reboot wat the hell is happening!!

  296. can you connect to itunes after you jailbreak?
    Also when you hook your ipod itouch into the comp and itunes opens do you just shut it or let itunes sync it?

  297. I go tthe same thing , I bet if we can get a copy of a successful txt then we can manually make those changes with in the bammmmm thats my guess if u find on elet me no this is jus a apple born scam

  299. OK i finnaly figured everything out.

    To do this hack first you must know some things about your IPod/IPhone.

    1. ~YOUR MODEL NUMBER~
    On your i device got to 'Settings>General>About', scroll down untill you find Model. If the first two digits begin with MB keep following me if it starts with MC… Get lost because apparently Geo Hotz hates you!

    2.~YOUR DEVICE~
    This hack will work for IPhone 1G, 2G and 3G. For IPod Touch its 1G and 2G.
    If you have IPhone 3Gs or IPod Touch 3G you are not able to do this.

    Why?

    3Gs: This will upgrade your Baseband and screw up you Phone.
    IPT: It will teather your ipod. When you run out of batterie or turn your IPod off you will have to ra1n it again. No know fix (That i know).

    Now:
    -Disable Auto Syncing in

    -Kill all ITunes processes in Task Manager. (ITunesHelper, IPodservice, ect..)

    -Plug in your IPod and press Make it ra1n.

    -Geo Hotz will appear on your device and it will then reload.

    Done.

    Believe me this works.

    I have hacked a total of 11 IPods and Phones.

    For those of you with MC try to downgrade to 3.0, redsn0w it then use a custom .ISPW to get a hacked 3.1.1 or 3.1.2!

    Or just wait for redsn0w to update to 3.1.2.

    Enjoy.

  315. jailbreak done , just waiting for reboot , black screen :(
    not working :(

    Ipt2 8gb 3.1.2

  316. I just bought a 3g ipod touch, and tried to jailbreak it with blackra1n out of the box……….6 times ;(
    No luck and I gave up.
    Everytime I tried to run it I had to do a restore on itunes.

    not worth my frustration

  317. my ipod wont turn back on once it shuts down it says, Done, waiting for reboot, on the jailbreak popup window.

  318. If you're using Vista, DO NOT use compatibility mode! It wouldn't work unless I did it without compatibility turned on. Once I turned that compatibility off, voila… 3 seconds and done

  319. WTF?? It ended up bricking my iPod while downloading my first jailbroken app :(

    If I can get it to restore, I'm NOT jailbreaking again.

  320. i heard that on the itouch 2nd G, if on the model number it starts with MC it cant be jailbreak. Is this true?

  322. Hi, for the untethered jailbreak for the ipod touch 3g. When i turn it on and rejailbreak it with blackra1n on my computer after the battery ran out of i turned it off, do i lose all my data and stuff (restore) or what.

  323. No, you lose nothing at all. It is only the shit and bothering of re-blackra1n it. But well it takes a few minutes at the end.
    What I hate is that legal apps from the appstore don't work once JB'd. I wait for a new blackra1n for the MC models, otherwise I prefer not JBing it.

  324. What do you mean you can't use legal apps? anyways, if i JB it with blackra1n and i reJB it every morning, what harm will it do to my ipod touch 3g in long term. in ur opinion, shuld i JB my ipod touch with blackra1n? thanls a lot m8

  325. When can the people with a “MC” model jailbreak ther pods? :(

    im waiting for it :D

  327. it doent work on mine it goes to the usb plug to itunes then on the computer it sayseither running or done,wait for reboot and it doesnt do anything else

  329. I have done exactly what you've said and my model # starts with MB, I do not get the picture and the program doesn't do anything but say 'running' for over an hour… can you help? Please?

  330. I have tried this 2 times and all i get is the itunes and usb cable on the itouch. It will reboot with itunes but I cannot get it ti jailbreak.

  332. if you jailbreak that phone it wont be able to be unlocked it will be permaneately stuck to At&t

  333. I have the itouch with 3.1.2 I have tried blackrain 2 times and all i get is the itunes and usb cable on the itouch. It will reboot with itunes but I cannot get it ti jailbreak.

  336. Hey guys, i was finally able to jb my ipod touch 3g MC model, what i did was
    Move blackra1n to C:
    Close itunes and ituneshelper in task manager
    Make sure ipod is disconnected and turned off
    Click make it rain
    Hold power and home button at the same time
    Release power button as soon as the apple logo appears while still holding down the home button
    Keep holding the home button and plug in the usb cable
    It should appear the image of geohot
    Hope that helps someone

  338. Yea that shud still work, when u click make it rain, u can see the icon changes to waiting for phone…so the moment u connect the cable, it automatically starts to jb.Forgot to mention that once it says done…wait to reboot,make sure u quickly close blackra1n or youll be left with a black screen on ur ipod

  339. Best jb tool eva. thank so much tried so many programs and tey were so hard but this too less than 30 sec

  340. So…
    disconnect ipod from pc,
    Turn the ipod off..
    close all itunes stuff,
    press make it ra1n,
    hold power and home button,
    when u see apple icon release the power button and hold home.
    then geohot shows.
    when it says done close blackra1n fast before the ipod gives a blackscreen?
    and then its done? and when can i release the home button then?

  341. hold power and home button,
    *EDIT -> plugin cable
    when u see apple icon release the power button and hold home.

  343. follow the instruction and could not make it work. Once I click “make it ra1n”, then iTune shows that <span class=”IL_AD” id=”IL_AD12″>my ipod</span> touch need to be restored. I have to restore it again. It becomes “entering recovery” forever. What did I do wrong? mine is Ipod Touch 2nd gen. I already upgrade it to 3.1.2 before that.

    UPDATE: used the code file David provide down there. It works perfect. thanks.

  348. thank you for your idea develop system application my touch ipod 3.1 installed breakjail

  354. Can I use this to jailbrake my ipod touch 8gb Version: 3.1.1 , Model: MC086LL???

  355. This worked for me. Thanks mate.

    Guys, with vista if its stuck on “waiting for phone” then make sure you turn OFF the compatability mode.

  356. ok i tried t jail break my ipod touch with this software (BlackRa1n ) Every time i try to jail break its start to work then it never reboots. I tried the Blackra1n again then black rain says waiting for phone….I believe my model number has the mc it. is there a way to jail break my ipod touch that has been realesed

  357. Worked first try literally took 5 seconds to work. Which is better of the three though cydia rock or ice.

  359. u jus got to restore it from itunes that happened to me like 10 times its annoying i keep losing my apps

  363. I was very concerned about using this software, somehow gathered my guts to finally give it a try, surprisingly Redsnow wouldn’t work for my iPod touch (Ver 3.1.2), but Black Rav1n changed everything, thanks a lot Imran for all that info you have shared, my iPod is up and running now, smooth as ever, it took me 10 seconds to do the whole job! Appreciate it! Will definitely recommend.

  364. The Blackrain doesnt work at all for 3G Ipod Models starting with MC. After searching a lot on internet, I have found that the Apple guys have used so strong security in their current MC models that so far no one on earth has been able to jailbreak them. We have to wait for sometime till some reall super intelligent guy comes up with a solution

  365. I have just got an itouch 64 gb 3rd generation model……….
    I did upgrade my firmware as written here….
    also ran the blackra1n application keeping the itouch connected….
    but the blackra1n runs and only shows “waiting for phone” message….
    i dont know how to unlock my touch now……
    pls…any help will be great….please….

  366. @amarlibra88
    Dont worry. Apple latest 3G models cant be jailbroken by Blackrain. I also tried a lot only to see my Ipod Touch dead and black. Just connect ur dead Ipod to ur computer. Make sure you have afast internet connection. Start Itunes and click on Restore button. Wait as Itunes downloads latest firmware and resets your Ipod Touch. Process will take anywhere between 30-60 minutes. Finally ur Ipod will be up and running again

  367. hey guys,
    I'm trying to jailbrake an iphone 3g 3.1.2 for about 10 hours. I've tried everything (and i mean that) : all kinds of booting , holding home button when u get the runnning message, c:/ root, administrator , several restarts and restores, etc. Trust me , i'm not a n00b , and I unlocked several older versions of iphone.
    Anyone can help telling wht to do, 'cause my next thought is to reinstall my vista 32 home premium, with an windowes 7 or vista professional. But it's again a lot of time :(

  368. @amarlibra88
    Dont worry. First of all keep it in mind that 3rd Gen Ipod Touch Models cant be jailbreaked with Blackrain because these are latest models and apparently Apple has included very strong security measures in their 3G Ipod Touch Models. Same happened with me too. Ran jailbreak to get a totally black Ipod.
    Simply connect your Ipod to your computer and start Itunes. Make sure you are connected to Internet with a fast connection and Click on the button restore. The Itunes will connect to Apple Ipod servers and will download the frimware and do the resetting. The wholle process will take anywhere between 30 minutes to one hour and your Ipod Touch will be up and again. Dont Jailbreak with Blackrain. Wait for a month or two till someone on earth is intelligent enough to break the security of apple and comes up with a 3G Solution

  390. i downloaded ur Blackra1n and th eicon was there :) but the cydia icon never showed after downloading it same with the other please help

  391. I have the exact same issue. I think its something with the model number. If it starts with “MC” it wont work.

  392. I have a 64gig 3rd generation MC and Was able to jailbreak it after trying many times. I found that by killing all the itune stuff in task manager and then running it was what worked. The only problem is that once I had cydia installed and tried to download my first app, my ipod went black and I had to restore again. Very frustrating. I do not ike the tethered version and wish that someone could just make an untethered version. My main point is that I do have a MC ipod and blackrain did work eventually in jailbreaking it.

  393. Guys, mine new itouch 3g 32gb just arrived yesterday and it bears the model number PC****. I kinda have the feeling that its even newer than the MC model. As such should I try jailbreaking it with blackra1n rc2?

  394. so ur saying that it can jailbreak an MC version but u cant download any apps???
    then wats the whole point of jailbreaking if u cant download apps???

  395. Hello all, iv got a problem with B.R, but its not any of the problems that have been stated below. I i have been to the last and final step. I was (please select install app(s) )… cydia , rock , icy.. I chose rock first. and was given the this……Error Downloading rock
    could not download.
    Error: Error
    Domain=NSPOSIXEeRRORdOMAIN
    Code=22 UserInfo=0x1a16f0
    “Operation could not be completed Invalid argument.

    and iv also tried setting the properties xp compatible but when i do that, it stays in recovery mode and the smart guys face wont even appear. when that happend i only waited about 3 min then i restored the it. please help

  397. basically i think there is a problem on the cydia side, but saurik seems to be on holiday. the only thing you can do is keep trying… my download took some 20 minutes…
    one thing – switch off the automatic lock and if the error shows up again, just restart the download…

  398. took me 1 hr to figure out. i m running vista with !touch 2g os 3.1.2. I did NOT set the blackrain RC 2 to run on compatibility mode. It worked for me. May b u guys can try it.

  400. I followed the instrusions and ipod touch is frozen. What do I anyone please.

  401. what should I do if it has the little circle going around and it says to connetct to Itunes

  402. okayy i got everything downloaded and good to go. but now is like itunes stuff free to cause not that it is jailbroken?

  403. after i install black ra1n i try to down load cydia but it says no internet connection so i try to download icy it works but i still cant download cydia plz help me??? i restoring it and doing the prosecc over again but plz if it happens again plz tell me why

  404. PROBLEM !!! the jailbreak itself works fine (2 restarts and you're done), but as soon as i power off my ipod touch (32gb 3rd gen) once it's back on it shows me the sync with itunes screen so i have to restore.. on one forum someone said that you can avoid restore by “starting” the ipod with blackra1n again, but that's not very practical.. anyone else have this problem? any fixes?

    thx a bunch!

  405. now does this support the ipod touch 3g with the model number starting with mc

  408. my bad! didn’t think it through… it’s a *tethered* jailbreak.. so if you power down or your battery dies on ya you get the “sync with itunes” screen and have to reboot the pod with blackra1n.. cydia and all your other apps will still be there… but all in all, not too practical if you don’t have constant access to a pc.. it’s a cool achievement, but i’ll wait for an untethered break if, that is, someone manages to master the boot of this thing.

    hope this helps someone…. peace…

  409. after installing cidya it restarted and now its frozen on the apple logo.
    what can i do???

  410. Gosh….Jailbreak failed when my iphone(3gs 3.1.2 come with) cant reboot itself. After i restore my phone blackra!n app was there but it just couldn't be open!!! Its like half jailbreak and my iphone sometimes just turn black and i need to restore everytime (with the blackrain app still on it)HELP! how do i get rid of blackra!n and restore everything to normal.Thanks guys

    edit: so i found out my model is MC which blackra!n wont work on. So how do i restore everything to normal with the blackra!n app gone after the restore.

  412. I thought they said you can't do this with a 3rd gen? I'm pretty positive that this was explained on multiple levels.

  413. Without running it in compatability mode it ran through really fast without showing the blackra1n pic. It just rebooted and there was no jailbreak. After putting it in compatablility mode it is frozen in recovery. I'll try it again. I guess.

  414. hey is this still tethered for ipod touch 3g if so when are they coming out with a unthethered jailbreak for ipod touch 3g because it gets anoying one i accidently turn it off or sumtin

  415. hey does this work on a ipod touch 3g 32 gb with a model number starting with mc

    answer cause i want to jailbreak and i dont want to do it if it wont work

  416. I just jailed breaked my 8gb mc 3rd generation. Just keep trying. For some reason it works after lots and lots of tries.

  417. how do u know wats ur gen cause i dont know mine if its gen3 or 2 the model no is MC

  418. something happened..as soon as i clicked “make it ra1n” my ipod went into recovery mode and everything got erased…what do i do??

  420. – Download and keep BlackRa1n.exe in your C:
    – Right click on BlackRa1n.exe –> properties–> Compatibility -> check the run this program in compatibility mode for… XP and also check the Run as admin option.

    – Upgrade to 3.1.2 and restore with your latest back up(sync contacts etc etc)
    – Close itunes

    – Go to control panel (classic view)-> User Accounts ->Manage another account -> Create new account -> Select Administrator option and create a new account
    – Click on the newly created account and select Create password to set a password.

    – Shutdown your system
    – Boot your system
    – Login with your new admin account
    – Let the windows complete setting up your desktop

    – Now connect your iphone via usb
    – Right click on BlackRa1n.exe and run as admin ( though already set to run as admin in properties, just making sure.. this is what i did)
    – Click on 'Make it Ra1n”
    – Sit back and relax.. (you have to click on a lengthy message from BlacRa1n during the process to say 'OK' ) GeoHot screen will appear and reboot ur iphone.. after that its all simple.. check ur iphone for blackra1n app..

    The blackra1n executable process hangs when iTunes detects the iphone in dfu mode and will open trying to restore it. But during the last step itunes will try to open.. but because of new user, it will get stuck on license agreement page..

  421. Well…it would be advisable to use appulous instead…cuz everything is free there.

  422. If it is mc It means you cannot jailbreak with blackra1n as It will be tethered. You have a 3G iPod

  424. what version of iTunes you have? Use 8.2 version, let your ipod restored with iTunes and than try again blackra1n. I hade the same problem, I just replaced iTunes 9 with older version and everythings fine.

  426. Hi I had my 3rd gen jailbroken and winterboard on it with it working and showing themes but my ipod died so i re jailbroke it and now when I get it all jail broken i install cydia and rock then winterboard but then it wants me to reboot I do that but then it makes it to where i have to plug into itunes again and start all over and that is with cydia and rock. PLEASE help

  427. i just tried to jailbreak my itouch and now its completly screwed its showing a pink screen and wont turn off wtf do i do?

  429. anyone know how to turn a tethered jailbroken ipod on without comp?
    its a pain in the butt.

  430. ok, i installed everything then my iTouch(3rd gen 8 gig) brought up the connect to iTunes screen and iTunes said i have to restore it. How do u get around this?

  431. Hello,

    I have installed Cydia on my iPod touch but how can I now downlaod free stuff like games or thing?
    And what is the difference between Cydia, Icy and Rock?

    Please comment fast

  432. Cydia isn't just for free stuff. It has many quality paid apps as well. And
    Icy and Rock are just Cydia alternatives. You can try each of them and use
    the one that suits your taste.

  433. I'm kinda computer stupid. So i need help. After i installed it i pressed “make it rain” and all it says is “entering recovery” for like an hour now. Do i need to do something else for it to work or what?

  434. Okay i'm sort of computer stupid so i need help. I downloaded it and clicked on the make it rain button but all it says is “entering recovery” for like an hour now. What do i need to do in order to get it to work?

  439. but how can i now get free games like patience or chess or mah jong or something?
    because i cant find them in cydia.

    Please comment back

  442. Find a source (because i dont remember it) and install, Installous, its basically an app store but everything is free.
    Reminder: Not every app is available, only cracked apps are. But 90% of the apps are in the database so check it out!

  443. Just jailbroke my daughter 1st Gen iTouch on Win 7 system. It worked flawlessly – even without changing it to compatibility mode in the second step. The procedure is fast and as simple as one two three. Thank you very much for this commendable blackra1n solution.
    Great job George…two thumbs way up.

  444. umm my ipod froze so i restarted it and now it doesn't want to turn back on. what do i do?

  446. umm my ipod froze so i restarted it and now it doesn't want to turn back on. what do i do?

  448. i tries to jail break thru blackra 1n but after i installed the cydia my ipod is not starting.

  449. i've had my ipod jailbroken before when it was verison 3.00 n then i updated to 3.1.1 n it erased me cydia but i still have all of my apps and i was just wondering if after installin cydia my apps would start working again or would i have to do everything i did before all over again

  450. well i dont know if i got it jailbroken i have an ipod touch 2g so i dowloaded blackra1n and it said it jailbroke your IPHONE??? the wierd thing is i have the blackra1n app thing in my ipod but i cant use it yet(no wireless internet connection). also as for doing stuff like going to the compatibility screen i didnt do and the i recovered my ipod cause i had to for some reason but i have the blackra1n app so idk if its jailbroken

    p.s. im a noob its my first time lol

  451. So, I have successfully jailbroken my 32gb iPod touch a few times now using Blackra1n, that’s the simple part. However, after I install Cydia, Rock or Icy, is when I run into issues. Each time I have jailbroken this thing, I try to install apps from any of the three programs, and it is then that my iPod decides it does not want to work anymore… So each time I’ve jailbroken it, I end up having to do a full restore. has anybody else had this issue, or does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks.

    Please email to ggoodman1022@gmail.com, instead of posting here, or along with posting here… I check email WAY more frequently than this site

  453. i try this a many time but it no work. it take ipod to screen with plug and itunes picture. many time. please help with my problem. maybe i help you also. ASAP!!

  455. You can get all free games you want on appulo.com (download and double click)
    NOT via cydia ;)

  457. Works fine, but unable to use it, as I have no wireless internet connection, so totally useless to me, why can't you download cydia via a PC and install it that way, or include it in Blackra1n?

  458. mine showed the pic but instead of rebooting it told me i had to reconnec to itunes

  459. I think i know what is the problem here. Like you i have encountered the same problem as well. I guess we are using the same model of Iphone 3Gs starting with “MC”.

    Apparently, Blackrain application only works with “MB” version of the model.

    Cheers…

  460. When i go into the blackra1n app it says that there is an invalid argument and so i cant get cydia or rock, any advice?

  462. When u get the connect to itunes picture, it means that ur ipod/iphone has entered recovery mode. When that happens,

    STEP 1: LEAVE YOUR iPod/iPhone ALONE!!(Don't press any buttons and DON'T unplug the cable)

    STEP 2: Close blackra1n.

    STEP 3: Run blackra1n again(After running it for the 2nd time, wait for the pop up asking for you to donate. If you do not get the pop up after sometime, close blackra1n and start it again.) PS: It needed me to run blackra1n 3 times for it to work.

  464. hi, when i launch blackrain on my computer all that happens is my ipod comes up with the connect to itunes screen. what should i do??

  465. if i were to jailbreak would i be able to restoe it back to the orginal setting

  466. My cord got unplugged by my damn brother while i was doing it… what should i do? its kinda stuck!

  468. wow… this is without a doubt the simplest jail break I have ever done. No DFU mode, no recovery mode in iTunes, this jailbreak did it all itself. And the best part is it downloaded fast and probably took less than two minutes to complete. I love this guy. Thank you so much!

  471. i got the “connect to itunes”logo on my touch… restarted blackrain… but blackrain will fresh and says WAITING FOR DEVICE … and now???

  472. this is amazing!!
    i really like this one. It only took around a minute at most! The quick freedom was horrible compared to this. AWESOME! Keep up with the good work

    1. try to uninstall itunes 9.x and replace it with older e.g. 8.2 I had the same problem, now its workin

  476. It doesnt work, I've tried everything.

    I have tried to run blackr4in again, but it will say “Waiting for phone” once i click on the button.
    Please help, my version is 3g, 8gb, 3.1.2

I jailbroke my ipod touch 3g… But before i jailbroke i updated my iod to 3.1.2 fireware and i clicked “make it rain” i used windows xp… Everything went fine but on my ipod i went to blackra1n and downloaded cydia but icy wasn't there to download… And i didn't have winterboard so i downloaded it and i had to reboot and so i did… but then when i tried to see how much memory i had left to download apps it shut off on me… so i tried to reboot it and i had lines going from the top to the bottom of the screen… And i just don't know what i did wrong i follow all the steps… So my questions are (Was i suppose to restore my device to 3.1.2 fireware before jailbreaking)… (and why was it lines going from the top to the bottom of the screen on my device)… And if anyone can answer my questions and have some information that i should know you can email me at [{D_town_baller07@yahoo.com}]

  499. it doesn't work on my ipod 3rd gen 32gb 3.1.2

    tried it several times… have to restore it everytime to make my ipod work again… am i doing something wrong?

    btw my model is neither MB or MC it's PC!

  500. Is this tool can be used in ipod touch 1st generation…..plz! reply me quick
    currently, i got ipod touch 1g 16gb with OS 3.0 jailbroken….

  501. hi, the jailbreak works on my ipod touch 3.1.2 but if an ipod is jailbroken you should be able to download ALL the apps for free but how does that works?

  503. ok so i went to jailbreak my itouch 2gen 3.1.2 and when i click make it ra1n, it loads and all this then my itunes loads saying it cant load my ipod please restore it. i now restore it then what?? either email dylanisbest@ymail.com or just respond here

  504. i have a ipod touch 8 GB 2nd generation with 3.1.2 update it gose through fine till itunes pops up and says ipod in recovery and my ipod shows the plug into itunes screen i have to restore my ipod and it has nothing on it any help

  506. its because the jailbreak is not 100% perfect yet, if you jailbreak it, you can't turn off your ipod, and if you close it, you'll have the “re-jailbeak” it

  507. what happend is that i did black rain and then when i did i played wih it but i shut it off and then i went back to 'plug into itunes' icon so i did and then is repaired itself then stoped. i looked at it for a second and then saw that blackra1n and cydia and the rest wasnt there so now i have to keep rebbotting and rbooting it but how do i make it stop nd just keep it jailbroken withno problems and not rebooting twice or more cuzz its pissin me off

  511. Wow man thats the shit! first gen ipod took around a minute then i unplugged it and rebooted and i was like oh no its not working. The i re broke it one more time and Bamn less then 9 seconds your picture showed up i was soo happy great work!

  512. i have the same problem man

    its so annoying
    everything works except when i restart my iTouch i HAVE to connect with iTunes than i MUST repair my iTouch than everything is gone

    if someone knows how to solve please tell me i'd appreciette it very much

    walker-express@hotmail.com

  513. UPDATE: If your device doesn’t boot again, don’t panic. Just re-run blackra1n while the device is plugged in.

    its clearly stated there, no need to jailbreak again.

  516. if u already ran blackra1n on ur itouch/iphone and you later get the plug into itunes. dont restore with itunes. instead plug ur device into your computer and re run blackra1n. your device will become usable again and you wont loose any of ur applications or data.

  522. i just did the jailbreak for my ipod touch 2gen 3.1.2. but is not letting me install cydia is telling meerror downloading cydia could not download. error:error domain=nsurlerrordomain code=1001 userinfo=0x19d520 “time out” can some one help me.

  523. If you jailbreak using this method with an ipod touch 3g, and you decide you don't want to have a jailbroken ipod, (thus you don't want to have to plug in your ipod to your computer every time you turn it on) is it possible to “Un-jailbreak” it, so you no longer need to plug it in and run blackrain?

    Sometimes apps need reboots, etc, and not being able to turn on your ipod because you are not near a computer is really crap tbh…

    Thanks

  528. hello i just wondering how long time it's going to take. because i'm worrid that somethings gone wrong.
    P.S. i got an ipod touch 3g 8GB

  529. Hey, what you said is right- but my itouch wouldn't turn on normally without me connecting it to my computer. How do i solve this ?

  532. I use vista, but I can’t find the compatibility thing for XP, is there a way to get it o.o

    1. Basically, Click on the Blackra1n app and right click on your mouse. You’ll see a ‘compatibility’ tab. Click on it and check the box which says ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for:’ and you should have WIndows XP (Service Pack 2)

  534. my ipod when i turn it on it only shows the apple logo and then turns off

  535. I have an iPod 3rd Generation 35 GB with 3.1.2 Firmware . So if I do download Blackra1n , I would get a tethered jailbreak right? Would there be a un-tethered jailbreak soon? And after I tether-jailbreak my Ipod Touch , Is it alright to just leave it in sleep mode 24 Hours a day? Thanks :D

  537. How do I install cydia? It seems like it works, but then when I look for it, it is not there.

  538. I jailbroke my ipod touch (tetherd) then I turned off my ipod touch and now I cant jailberak it please help1

  540. So let me get this straight, at this point in time there is no way to keep the iPod Touch 3gen jail broken correct? So every time I restart the device I have to restore using blackra1n (or if I want to start over then I use Itunes) right? Isn't there any permanent way of doing this?

  543. do you need to instal like appulous or something with cydia or do you get the apps right from cydia?
    and are there any reported problems with this because i just got an ipod touch 3G 32GB and i dont really want to wreck it.
    your help is greatly appreciated

  544. I need help, I have an ipod touch it is 3rd gen with 3.2.1 and I went to blackra1n and it says “entering recovery” on where it used to “say make it rain” my ipod touch is now in recovery mode……

  548. it looks there are a few issues on the jailbreak which Reading the above has made me wary about carrying out the jailbreak. Do you have to connect to start everytime? Is it ok to leave on sleep 24 hrs as this is what I normally do?? Am keen to get going but now a bit unsure

  549. Check out the troubleshooting guide to find out if your iPod supports a tethered or un-tethered jailbreak. Leaving on your iPod Touch wouldn't provide any issues if you have a tethered jailbreak, turning it off would require you to reconnect it to your PC, ONLY if your iPod is one of the models that supports a tethered jailbreak.

  551. i jailbreaked my ipod and the it said it's jailbroken but the screen is blank for at least 15 minutes!!
    what to do??

  553. blackra1n says done, wait for reboot but my ipod 1st gen screen is just a glowing black colour. ive tried over 50 times now and no luck. any ideas?

  555. iv got a ipodtouch 2ng and its jailbroken could i update it to version 3.1.2 while its jailbroken???

  567. Hey guys, DON’T change it to run in compatibility with XP. I ran it in compatibility and went through 5 times trying to jailbreak it. Simply ignore that step. Worked wonderfully after I disabled compatibility with XP. Thanks guys.

  569. i jailbroke my 2g ipod touch 32 gb via blackrain and i cant stream videos from pocketv and or mobile theatre… also i tried to install a wall paper and it turned off my itouch and i needed to sync/restore it… why is that? it happened twice

  571. i did it once and it worked just fine you people that dont get it right away should follow directions

  574. worked really easssyy, awesome, the day after I downloaded it though my i touch made the usb screen, didnt work, I plugged into my computer and had to recover everything, IDk if this had anything to do with blackra1n or not. everything is fine now

  576. You don't have to recover everything. If that happens again, just connect it to the computer, close itunes and run the blackra1n tool again.

  598. I just got a 32 gig i touch and my friends tell me i can't jail break it because it will mess it up and void the warranty. will this program work? or is there any risk involved?

  599. Hi,
    I'm running my jailbroken iPod touch 2nd gen on 2.2.1 and i have downloaded the 3.1.2 so should i just restore my ipod with the 3.1.2 firmware and then jailbreak it??? I need help please.

    Thanks,
    Erik

  600. WHAT!?! Tell them they don't know anything.
    It won't void the warranty cause you can just restore it.
    there IS a risk but really low and doesn't do much.
    Anyway i have a 32GB iTouch (2,actually 2nd gen and 3rd gen)
    And they are jailbreaked with 3.1.2 up and running!

  602. How do I “Unjailbreak” my iPod touch. Whenever I try to restore with iTunes, it goes crazy, and I have to jailbreak it again to make it work?!

  603. Ok I have a 64 gig iPod touch 3g I'm a little skeptical of doing this. Can you verify tfat this is an untethered jb. Also has your latest update fixed the black screen error?

  604. I have no idea what im doing wrong i have an IPOD Touch 3.1.2 and i tried this a few times and I just cant seem to get the blackra1n app on my ipod, i followed all steps, it resets then restores, i even tryd stoppign the backup restore and starting it as a new ipod and nothings worrking :( :(…please someone help

  605. Hi,

    My internet connection goes through a proxy (office) which also requiers an login and passwrd. I can surf the internet with Safari and the App Store since I've filled those forms.

    But like most applications, blackra1n can't connect, thus I can't download Cydia…

    Any tips on how to get around this would be helpful!!! Thanks!

  618. mine is awsome its downloading cydia and the best thing about it its unteathered

  619. Yes you will lose everything, Its best to back it up to itunes. Then resync with the computer and your ipod shoudl be fine. I jailbroke my itouch 2g 3.0.2 a few weeks ago, i just reinstalled the apps and music. Blackra1n works fine. Now im jailbreaking a 3g itouch and it should only take me 30 seconds.

  620. if i download blackra1n and jailbreak my ipod touch will it delete all my stuff?
    (i have ALOT of music from different computers and it would be to much of a hassle to add it all on… again)

  622. Well all i can say is good luck to me and im just too scared to do this! I suck! Failure! Bitch! Haaah!

  623. it is not working for me. it said your ipod is jailbroken but it wont go off the screen with the itunes and a usb cord showing to go in it please help

  624. Whenever I try this, black rain thing stays on 'entering recovery' and my iPod screen has a USB cord and iTunes on it. Nothing else happens. Is this supposed to happen?

    1. hey I had this problem tons of times then I did it and when it said it was good and restarting I unplugged it and it worked fine you might need to restart power and stop button but it should work and help…

  627. Is blackra1n RC4 being released. Dont tell me greenpois0n because chronic dev is lying. Not to be rude or anything can u please make it quick.

  628. Okay…honestly, I've jailbroken (if thats the word) my iPhone twice and my ipod touch 2g twice…and this is the easiest, fastest and obviously the best way to jailbreak ur ipod…reboot normally took me atleast 2 hrs and this thing….the reboot just took like a minute….this is the best jailbreakin software ever!!!

  629. Um i have a problem, the George picture (or whatever you want to call it) is stuck on my iPod screen with the loading circle below it. ive tryed resetting it but it wont let me and ive also tryed running blackra1n too but that wont work either so what do i do?

  630. dude i know what you mean man. i spent a couple hours messing with this crap.
    what worked for me was NOT running with the xp compatibility and NOT running as administrator.
    good luck bro.

  631. hi i followed the steps everything works great i get the message that my ipod has been jailbrocken but my ipod just stays on a black blank screen does anyone have suggestions

    1. Ok so is there any possible way to get an MC model to 3.0?

      If not i dont care, all i want is for my Jailbreak to be untethered

      my ipod is an MC 3.1.2

  637. so i have the newest ipod touch 8gb model running on 3.1.2. and when i did the jailbreak it worked fine but whenever i try and reboot my ipod or turn off and then back on again i have to re-install blackra1n and run the jailbreak again to get it past the itunes symbol w/ the usb cord. is there any way to get by this so i can turn it on and off while not having to constantly re-download blackra1n.??? please comment to help me

    1. When using “Blackrain” to jailbreak any reboot will require to use Blackrain again. For this reason avoid rebooting or running your battery down.

      1. i’m having the same problem as the drew… care to elaborate on how to fix this?
        appreciate it.

  638. I jailbroke my 3g ipod touch, using blackrain on a Mac. It worked, and I installed Cydia probperly. But the thing is every time I install an app, or reboot my Ipod, it reboots in recovery mode. So I am guessing that is what happens with mac users, and why it's only working for windows?

    I have windows 7 installed via parallels.. but I don't feel like transfering all my Itunes info on windows, so Should I wait till they find a way to jailbreak 3.1.2 on a mac?

  639. ok i ran blackra1n and it came up with the icon that said it was jailbroken i waited about 15 minutes for it to reboot it finally did but there was no blackra1n icon in my apps and i did not see the pic of geohot can anyone help?

  641. Vista -> Try with compatibility first… if this take too long or don't work try wihout compatibility…

    I keep itunes open for the procedure wihout compatibility mode and this worked great. :)

  642. i jailbroke it… and it did everything as it appears on the instructions but when i itouch was booted i didnt see blackrian icon. i tried few times no luck..
    any suggestions

  643. so after i install this on my ipodtouch, and install Cydia i can download anything off the apple store? or will it still charge my creditcard?

    1. When using the apple store you will be charged still. You can get free apps from other sites to put on your jailbroke ipod.

  644. I have ipod touch running 3.1.2. I jail breaked it using black rain. But whenever i restart my ipod, everytime it goes in to recovery mode and i have to repeat the process. Am i not doing it right or is anyone else facing this problem too

  661. hi just did the jailbreak so far so good but what i want to know is does it wipe your music and videos?

  662. please help me!

  684. I’ve done the jailbreak to my ipod, and everything is fine, the only things that bothers me is that the ICY doesn’t appear in the menu of BLACKRA1N, am I missing of something important??

  685. im in the process of jailbreaking my ipod touch 3.1.2… how long does the process take? atm ive just got that damned thank you message?!?

      1. i have the same problem after every shutdown like nik … and yes I think I read the instructions… can someone help plz

        1. Don’t worry. Blackra1n does only so called “tethered unlock” of iPod Touch 3g now. It means you have to run blackra1in.exe every time you switch off your device. I don’t know when this feature will be fixed. I hope soon :-)

    2. re boot with black rain by connecting you ipod or iphone open up black rain click make it rain

  689. I have followed everystep and read the trouble shoot guides, also watch some youtube videos on it Please will anyone help me?

    Info:

    Ipod Touch 2g
    starts with MB
    3.1.2 updated from 2.2.1
    Downloaded all files
    Running on Windows XP

    Problem: After all of the steps when you see Georges face, Well instead of that i Get a Black screen so i Started over ( held power and home blah blah blah)
    I have tried this over 7 times, but with the same result, When i let it just stay black after approximately 15 minutes Nothing happens

    Any HELP?

  690. Ok I don’t understand I opened Blackra1n and downloaded cydia and, there is no icon on my ipod app pages and when I went into search bar I found it. Please tell me how I can get the icon on my homescreen.

  691. it says check your connection to the internet and its unusual cus i have amazing connection everyrhing else works like a charm

  692. I got my icons dowloaded sruff fine turned my ipod off it wont turn on it just displays the apple sign OMG PLEASSE HELPP!!!!!

    1. hey umm well the same thing happened to me. i turned it off, and tried to turn it back on but all that came up was the apple sign and a loading circle thing.
      what you have to do is open itunes, plug the ipod in, turn it on. and after awhile it should come up with something (if your running on windows) saying that theres something decected, but it cant be recognised.

      so what i did was a googled it, and it said to polug it in, and hold the off button and the home button. it then says that message, but dont let go, you have to keep holding both buttons i did it for i think 3 times (it turns on and off) and then i let go of the off button, and it should come up in itnes, then u have to restore it , but it works fine. i have had to do it twice, i used the jailbreak software redsn0w, doesnt really work well…

      i hope this helped!

      good luck,
      alfred

  693. I like to know if i can jailbreak my ipod touch 30g…can someone tell me if i can follow the instruction of ipod touch 3g?

  694. Imran Hussian is a stupid jew bagel that defends this guy by trying to prove everyone that his wrong, hes a lil beeyatch and should just STFU on these forums and realize that a lil penis doesn’t mean your always smart / right.

  695. This ROX!!!!!!
    i tried it and no probs nothing got deleted and didnt restart like others!!!!

    Me and my cousin did it and it even works on ipod touch 3g… (SUPRISINLY)
    SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!
    =)

    1. Well… first you have to go into cydia and download installous (just google instructions on how to do that)… after that you go into installous and search the app you want, go to the download site and get it…
      hope this helps!
      :D

  724. i donated i have cfn numbers 070 numbers iot will not let me download blackra 1

  730. FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH ITOUCH 2G, when it tells you to plug it into iTunes and to restore it, DON’T RESTORE IT. Go to properties for blackrain and uncheck the “run this program compatibility.” So you’re basically just undoing step one. I have Vista and once I did this, it worked perfectly.

  731. Hey i am having problems jailbreaking my Itouch 2g i have upgraded to 3.1.2. I run blackrain it says entering recovery mode and then running.

I hvae recovered and restored is many times and tried again but it doesnt work. Please Help . Thanks

  732. just a side note on my last message. i get to the “entering recovery…” phase but it just hangs on that… as i said a MC model but i heard RC2 and RC3 fixed those issues and wont be a problem anymore but obv not for me. :( if any1 has any idea then please comment back

  738. Hey, I’m from Poland then sorry that my English is not so good…

    I download blackra1n, plug Ipod Touch (2G 3.1.2) to the pc and run blackra1n… And it’s all that we must to do…

    Blackra1n.exe do rest alone :D 2-3 minutes and we have jb ipod :D

  740. is it possible to put music onto the ipod through itunes after its jailbroken with black rain?

        1. ya it is sadly that means you cant reboot the device with out hooking it up to your computer and clicking “make it rain”

  741. wenever i turn my 2nd gen ipod touch completly off and plug it in 2 itunes it tells me i have 2 restore 2 continue

  743. well i have the tethered version but i deleted the jailbreak off my ipod cuz it makes me reboot everytime i turn my ipod on which makes me mad. is there anyway i can get his image off my ipod when i turn it on all the time??

  744. Okay, First time I tried it, It got past that gay face, then it rebooted, After it rebooted, The deivce showed up with a White Usb lead and an iTunes icon, and their was a flash loading circle at the very bottom for about 1 hour, It was frozen, Untill I held down all the buttons on the iTouch and restored the Original firmware which deleted my firmware. Am going to give this a second go, As it seemed to work for all of them up their ^^.

  745. Okay, to those of you who get stuck at the DFU mode, Read these steps on how to restore iPhone/iTouch and to Finaly Jailbreak it.

    1.) At the DFU-Mode screen, Hold down ALL buttons untill the device turns OFF. Turn the device back in, with the Usb cable plugged in.
    2.) Let iTunes open and restore your iPhone/iTouch to the most recent version (In this case, 3.1.2, This takes about 15 – 20 minutes tops) Close iTunes.
    3.) After the iPhone/iTouch is restored, Close iTunes and let the Device restart. After the Device has restarted, CONNECT TO A WI-FI CONNECTION, ANY WILL DO.
    4.) After you have connected to a Wi-Fi connection, Open up Task Manager on windows. (ALT-CTRL-DEL < Task Manager < iTunesHelper.exe End Process)
    We do this because in some cases, after the Device has rebooted, iTunes tend to open and start restoring it instantly (Hence the device being stuck in DFU-Mode)
    5.) Plug in your Device and Download blackra1n (save it to computer). Open blackra1n and click “m4ke it ra1n”. Windows will detect that your Device is in DFU-Mode (Recovery Mode) and install it. At the same time as windows is installing the Devices recovery mode drivers, you should see a picture of a Man/Boy on your Device for about 1 minute.
    6.) After this 1 minute, Your device shall be jailbroken, and the “blackra1n” app should be on your device. Click on it, And choose “cydia” which will then be Downloaded and extracted on your Device. After extraction is done, The Cydia software will reorganise your Device, Giving yu access to Root Folders and applications blocked by Apple.

    ALL OF THAT TUTURIAL WAS MY OWN, THANK YOU FOR READING!

  746. i downloaded everything and followed all the steps, but when i click on rock, it opens a blank screen, then closes after 2 or 3 seconds, what does this mean??

  747. I have been trying Blackra1n for two days on my new iPod Touch 16gb, OS 3.1.2 to no avail. I first had OS 2.1.2, and Blackra1n still didn’t work then either, but I tried Redsn0w and jailbroke on the first try. The only reason that I undated at all, is because I wanted to use apps that needed the update to 3.0 OS. I have tried everything written on the web. I do not understand what the problem is. This is what happens:

    Everything goes according to directions until it says “Your iPod is now Jailbroken..blah,blah,blah… donate”, but then my iPod screen is dark, and the weird guy with the circle of iPods never pops up (not even once). I then, usually, press and hold the sleep button until it reboots, and then it’s virtually UNTOUCHED by Blackra1n.

    ANY advice would be SOOOOO greatly appreciated…What the hell can I do?

  749. ok i have a question… ok now say this all works…seeing as its tethered…it is no longer jail broken when u turn it off and back on right? so what about the apps u downloaded during that time…does it work? and can u reboot it without having to plug it in again?

  750. well tom your comment still doesnt help me my ipod is thethered i jailbroke my ipod but i have to connect it to itunes everytime i turn it on how can i make it so i dont have to connect to itunes everytime i turn it on!

  752. Hi. It worked but Cydia keeps crashing. Also, i don’t get the option for Icy.

    Plz help! Thanks!!

  753. i jailbroke my itouch, i had thought that jailbreaking it would give me internet everywhere.. does it not? because i still can only get internet from my wifi from my house, and pretty much the whole reason i jailbroke it was for the internet everywhere. if it is suppose to give me internet everywhere will someone please tell me how to fix it?

    2. dude go read up on interent first
      interenet can only be gotten if u have a sim card which only the iphone has or wifi thats what ipod touch has and wifi ony can connect to wifi spots

    3. Obviously it doesn’t do the internet thing, especially not for the iTouch. If you had an iPhone then you could use that to get internet pretty much anywhere for your laptop, seeing as the iPhone already gets internet from it’s 3G connection.

  756. please help. i jailbroke my ipod with blackra1n, did everything right, even downloaded tons of apps using cydia. alright, i turned off my ipod, and every time i try turing it back on, it shows the USB and iTunes thing, and I bascially HAVE to restore EVERYTIME, to even get my ipod on. And then it DELETES everything. including blackra1n. i’ve done this two times now. and i just have to keep jailbreaking it, restoring it, and again. PLEASE help. is there a way to get past the whole HAVING TO RESTORE ordeal. PLEASE! i’m asking anyone. I NEED HELP.

    1. @Alice Luster

      1rst of all. NEVER, NEVER, Turn OFF by holding power button. This may cause ”connect to iTunes ”

      2nd. Just ” Jailbreak ” another time, open blackra1n, ( with iTunes process closed.) Jailbreak, and all will be good. !

      Hope I helped. :)

    2. Yea, when it does that screen with the USB cable and the iTunes logo…thing, plug it into your computer and ignore whatever iTunes says and just run Blackra1n again. It’ll take a minute to reboot with the dudes face on the screen and then wham-boodaloo-bam, you’re good again.
      Least ways that’s what I do.

  758. hi, could someone help me on how to transfer musics from itunes to ipod touch after jailbreak? thanks!

  759. Iv done this and it works, can u get the application for TOMTOM sat nav thing????

    I have exactly the same problem… I had quite a few applications before i attempted to jailbreak and lost them all… the recovery wouldn’t let me recover my files. I’m not too bothered about them but it would be nice to be able to have them back, I have a new (reasonably) iPod touch 3G 3.1.2, I’ve been reading around where people have managed to get it jailbroke with the same as me. I manage to get cydia and a bunch of cool apps but if i turn the ipod off then it just wont boot up. If you know of any way to jailbreak it then please e-mail me at arsenal4lyfe1@hotmail.co.uk it would be greatly appreciated.

    1. whenever your ipod turns off you are going to need to connect it to your computer and run blackra1n. Your iPod touch is tethered so you have to do this everytime but luckily blackra1n only takes like 2 minutes to reboot

  761. @Alice Luster
    this happened to me also i think because i had itunes open during the install
    close itunes, and hard reset your touch. (hold the power + home button until it shuts down)
    re run blackra1n and you should all set

  762. PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THIS! I NEED HELP!!

    I have the iPod Touch 3G 3.1.2 and when i did it first time it went to the recovery screen and it said the i have an iPod that needs to be restored… now when you do this it also downloads the update, my internet is 56k (really f**king slow) 8_( it takes about 4 hours to download it!!!!!!!!!! And my computer always freezes when I’m downloading something because my sister always goes on X(] so i’m not gonna download it. But the second time I went to jailbreak it, it worked!! :D But i didn’t have wifi so i thought ‘meh’ and deleted it just for the time until i got near wifi, but then i tried to put it back on there and… it… didn’t… work… NOOOOOO!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!

  763. Hey, PEOPLE STOP TURNING OFF YOUR TOUCH, THERES NO NEED, JUST KEEP IT CHARGED, If you accidentally turn it off or let it run out of battery just plug it into your computer, Close itunes and run blackrain. All your filles will be there. If you have more questions email me at hanoncs3@aol.com put “JAILBREAK” in the subject line

  764. Hi James,

    i am exactly in your shoes, i dont know what to do. i wanted to install the icall log delete (because the iodiots who made iphone never thought one would want to edit his/her call log!! Blah!). i used the blackra1n and it did reboot the device, i installed cydia and got the program. once program is setup, it restarts and asks to be connected to itunes, then it restores/deletes all! what the hell is wrong? did you solve your problem?

    help! anyone?

    Cheers

    1. When it asks to be connected to iTunes, don’t open up iTunes. Run the blackra1n tool again, and click make it rain. It’ll fix your issue and wont restore/delete anything.

  767. When you have jailbroken your ipod touch and you do happen to turn it off or the battery runs out connect it to your pc without turning it on (the ipod that is) and close itunes if it opens then just hit make it rain and ipod will re-boot, works all the time and nothing is lost all apps from itunes still there and any others you have downloaded, in fact back to the same stae as when it went off.

  772. hi. i tried running blackra1n and closed itunes, but im still stuck with the usb and itunes disc icon mode. it won’t do anything. im using vista and followed the checkmark on the compatibility tab.. help please

  773. I just ran blackra1n on my iPod touch 3g 3.1.2 and accidently turned it off. I rebooted it and didn’t have to re-jailbreak! It’s untethered!!!!

    1. There is no such thing as an 8GB 3rd Gen.
      The current 8GB model being sold by apple is an 8GB 2nd Gen. The 32 and 64GB models are 3rd Gen.

  775. how do you upload apps and games downloaded onto your computer to a jail broken ipod touch? help much appreciated..

  776. i put my ipod 2nd gen in my computer and i press make it rain, then this message comes up and says if this is the easiest jailbreak ever, yadda, yadda. So then i think the jailbreak is done but my ipod doesnt reboot and i dont see tht face of the boy so i turn off my ipod and turn it back on but there is no blackrain symbol

  777. I have a 8GB 2nd gen ipod touch running 3.1.2 I have tried several programs and thought this would be the one to do the trick. I am running windows vista and I click the compatibility mode. Run blackra1n in admin mode. click make it rain and the device restarts then I get this stupid usb i tunes disc. I have restored my ipod 4 times. I even tried to close blackra1n while it does this and re do it then all it says is waiting for device. I have attempted everything step in this forum someone please help..

  778. Hi jailbreakers!! My question: Can I also download free apps over my PC and then load the free apps on my iPod touch 2G 3.1.2 ?? (I have no wireless internet at home!) Thanks for any answers or help!

      1. i tried installing it onto my ipod touch but when i go to start the application it goes back out and won’t load up. what am i doing wrong?

  780. Okay so I did the blackra1n thing and it said my ipod was jailbroken. and I turned it off for whatever reason and then when I turned it on again it did the itunes usb thingy. so I got scared, lol and connected it to itunes and ended up uninstalling blackra1n, then I read more about it and realized everyone was having the same problem, so I tried to do the blackra1n again and it said it was jailbroken successfully but now I dont have the icon on my screen… How do I get it back. I am using the 32 gig 3g i pod touch.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated..

  781. ok so i have an ipod touch 3g and its 8 gigabytes. Can i jailbreak it? will it break it? since its tethered, do i have to always reboot my itouch? or just rerun blackra1n? can i also un-jailbreak my itouch if i wanted to? and also, if i dont have itunes can i still use it[jailbreak]?
    —please respond as soon as possible i need help bad!!!
    thanks

    1. You can jailbreak it.
      You’ll have to rerun blackra1n whenever you reboot it and it shows the ‘connect to iTunes’ screen because it’s tethered.
      You can un-jailbreak it by restoring the firmware.
      You need iTunes to use your iPod Touch anyways for music/video/apps/bookmarks/contacts etc transfer and backup, so not a bad idea to have it before and after jailbreaking.

      1. hi

        hi is just buyed a new ipod touch 3g and i succesfully jailbraked it with blackrain bud when i completely restart my ipod it says “reconect to itunes” i have to restore everything please help!

  784. Hey was wondering if anyone can help me. I just jailbrokee my ipod touch (3.1.2) using blackra1n(rc3) and installed cydia, but when i install certain apps it asks to reboot my ipod so i reboot it but when i try and start up my ipod it is in recovery mode. Is there a way i can get it out of recovery mode or is this a problem? Every time i restart my ipod i have to recover it!

      Then I tried a 2nd time, installed Winterboard, and again restore mode :(

    2. i too have the same problem, but i discovered that when this happens, if you run black rain again, it will load up again. so just keep your phone charged and on if you dont want to keep doing this :P

  785. i did this with my cousins 1st gen itouch 32 gb and then we tried to restore it so that we could turn it on but the mac could not recognize it anymore. so we tried it on our pc and it said it could not tell what was in the usb. Could you help?

    – I’m on windows XP

    1. the exact same thing is happening to me i have the same ipod touch i dont know what 2 do

        1. i just found a guide that says “make sure anti virus and firewall is off or ull get the death screen.” i havent tried yet so reply once u guys have.

  787. I just bought a 8gb ipod touch the other day. Ive been trying to download blackrain a couple of times, but then the itouch would freeze up and i would have to shut it down or connect through usb to my computer so it would reboot. Does anyone know what is going on

    1. i think so me and my friend had the same prolem with mine i believe its your computer you must use anothe one thats how we fixed it from freezingg

  788. !!
    This isn’t working.

    Okay the first time around Blackra1n actually worked. But, cydia refused to download, so I uninstalled Blackra1n. Now, i tried putting blackra1n back on my iTouch, but everytime I do, It doesnt appear on my home screen! I do everything Im supposed to, and everything goes as it’s supposed to, but when it finishes raining, the app doesn’t appear. I’ve reinstalled everything, from the blackra1n app, to iTunes, and I’ve even restored my iTouch numerous times. Please help me!

    2. You need to restore your ipod, make sure you have all your music/photos/apps etc. saved on iTunes or your computer, then reinstall blackra1n.

  789. Okay so I did the blackra1n thing and it said my ipod was jailbroken. and I turned it off for whatever reason and then when I turned it on again it did the itunes usb thingy. so I got scared, lol and connected it to itunes and ended up uninstalling blackra1n, then I read more about it and realized everyone was having the same problem, so I tried to do the blackra1n again and it said it was jailbroken successfully but now I dont have the icon on my screen… How do I get it back. I am using the 32 gig 3g i pod touch.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated..

  790. u guys HAVE to make a blackra1n RC4 that will let u turn it on and off without messing everything up!(i sucesfully jailbroke mine but i hate that i cant turn it off)

  791. After thefancy picture with the ipods shows up the screed just turns black?? Any help??

    1. I had the same problem so now im just un installing it. hold your home and power button until it shows the itunes usb picture. It may not work on the first try.

  792. Why is it when I right click the BR icon to turn on xp compatibility mode that there is no xp compat in the drop down menu?

  793. i have a 64gb 3gs Version 3.1.2 (7D11) i tried blackrain and i was able to put cracked apps from itunes to my ipod itouch. but when i turn off my device it always wants to have a restore and plugged into itunes. but if its just running normal, it doesn’t seem to have a problem but i can’t install other apps. how can i prevent this? is there any other solution? its really irritating that i can’t turn off the itouch, what if i ran out of battery out of nowhere? i have to redo the whole thing again? im trying to figure out if its the cydia is causing the restore, because i tried removing blackrain on the itouch. please help. thanks!

  794. i tried jailbreaking it and got lucky but the problem is i dont have signal,no signal at all how can i fix this problem im using iphone 2g with os 3.1.2 now.tnx

  795. hi, i recently accidently removed blackra1n and cydia from my itouch how do i get both back onto my ipod. please respond ASAP. :)

  796. when do you think you will have the untethered version of this?? please reply soon

  797. hello. i run the blackra1n_RC3_Win and work but on ipod touch i see only the blackra1n.
    why i cant see t he other applications??
    please tell me

    1. I have the same problem! I see the blackra1n icon but when I click it to get the other app’s , not there.

  798. This was great! took me all of 30 secs after I had done a fresh recovery from 3.1.2. Thanks!

  799. If your too stupid or incompetant to know how to use blackra1n, dont jailbreak. I miss when there were no apps for noobs to breka their iphones ect with.

  800. Everyone who uses jailbreak of some kind has to start somewhere. And I don’t think that asking questions makes us stupid or incompetent. And if all you can do is call people stupid, maybe you should get a life. Go find something else to do other than be a smartas*!

  801. I did the Jailbreak on my itouch. But I keep this error message when I try and install Cydia (Domain=NSURLEDomain Code=-1009 UserInfo=0x19be20 “no internet connection)

    I have an internet connection. Do I need to create an iTunes account before I can download any applications? Can you explain to me why im getting this error message?

  802. I been trying to jailbreak my ipod touch 2g on fw 3.1.2 when i go to jailbreak using black rain it never reboots and i dont get the picture of geohot what should i do?

  803. @Hairyballsagna:
    Because you clearly know how to do everything, and never had any questions or needed help, which explains you being here right? If your such king shyt then why are you on this help page? GTFO unless your going to give people the help they are seeking, I mean since you aren’t a noob right?

  804. the iphone (os3.1.2) is jailbreaked but when i restart it the jailbreak isn’t there and it doesn’t work. i have to jailbreak it again that it works… same with ipod touch
    please help me!?!

  806. Hi I was just reading on how to jailbreak an iPod touch but I have a few questions. First I want to know if blackra1n is safe for a 8gb 3g iPod touch. Second, I’m confused about the part on where the iPod is tethered. So does that mean If I plug in my iPod to iTunes, I have to download blackra1n all over again? Thanks a lot!

    1. I have a brand new 3rd gen ipod touch. As long as you A. go to offical sight http://www.blackra1n.com it should work and teatherd just means every time you turn off your ipod touch you have to re connect your ipod touch to your computer and re run black ra1n (all your stuff will still be there.)

  807. Blackra1n is not a Windows only application. It has a Mac OS version too. Im not sure where you got that info that it is a Windows only. Its the only one that has a windows version but its not a windows only.
    Also Blackra1n is not yet sufficient to use on a 3G touch since when you switch it off you have to reactivate it in your computer.

    M.


  808. 2nd time asking:

    Okay so I did the blackra1n thing and it said my ipod was jailbroken. and I turned it off for whatever reason and then when I turned it on again it did the itunes usb thingy. so I got scared, lol and connected it to itunes and ended up uninstalling blackra1n, then I read more about it and realized everyone was having the same problem, so I tried to do the blackra1n again and it said it was jailbroken successfully but now I dont have the icon on my screen… How do I get it back. I am using the 32 gig 3g i pod touch.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated..

    I have the same problem too..can anyone help on this..

    1. Okay, I figured it out. This is the only way I was able to get the icon back. I restored the ipod and reinstalled blackra1n. It was the only way I could do it. Try it, if it doesn’t work, my apologies but it worked for my 3.1.2 3rd generation ipod touch.

  809. i jailbreaked 3.1.2 fine. installed Rock and downloaded a ‘??background app??’ application from it. It said the ipod needed to reboot to use the application but the ‘usb cable- arrow to- itunes logo’ has been on the sreen now for about 5 minutes. What should i do? Restore?

  810. Hi guys,
    the jailbreaking does not work. Then if you struggle with recovery mode and no RESTORE works, the problem is:
    – you are using Win XP
    Solution for Restoring:
    – you have to find someone with Win Vista or Win 7.. download iTunes(correct version for the right system) and then you will be able to restore.

    Rgrds.

  812. okay im having the same problem as just about everyone else here about using blackrain and then it doing the connect to itunes screen after i reboot. i did it on my 8 gig 2 gen 3.1.2 and it worked perfectly but after jailbreaking a couple of my friends itouches and it does the connect screen. any help would be great.

  813. I have an 8 gig 3G iPod touch and I’ve jailbroken it and stuff

    I have downloaded many apps through installous and but I have NOT connected my iTouch to iTunes yet but I want to … so I can sync my limewire songs

    I do not have the newest version of iTunes since May 2008 and Im wondering if I should upgrade to 8.2 and connect…is it safe? what will happen? pls respond

      1. hey imran i have a question i ran blackra1n more than once and sometimes i get stuck in the black screen or the recovery mode…i had it in the recovery mode and i ran blackra1n again and now im just stuck at the black screen i keep trying it bt no luck any ideas of what should i do it would be a BIG THANKS if u can help…..

      2. If I connect to it, where will my apps go? I don’t have the original files cause I installed the apps directly from installous on my ipod.

  814. I have an iPod touch version 3.1.2 and it didn’t work. It had too restore and my whole iPod reset.I mean thats not a problem but the software didnt work

  815. Totally awesome!!!!
    Jailbroken my ipod touch 2g in less than 5 seconds.
    Blackrain rocks!!

  817. whenever i turn off my jailbroken ipod touch 3g it goes to the screen that says connect to itunes everytime so i always restore it. Is there a way to get past it without restoring. And also how do you download stuff from cydia. because i tried to download the five icon dock and it wont appear.

    1. I have that problem too. If I slide to turn off or my iPod battery diesit will go to the iTunes USB thingy is there a way I can safely turn off my iPod without having to turn on the computer then findthe website and redownload the icon? Is there a way I can fix this

  818. My I pod is a 3g 8 gig and whenever i try to download an app off of cydia i need to reboot my ipod but then it says connect to itunes. Is there a way i can get out of that screen without having to restore my ipod?
    Thanks

  819. to get out of the connect to itunes screen run blackra1n on your com……while installing backgrounder on my toucg 2g 8gb the screen came up and it was fixed this way. it is a great solution because it keeps all apps and settings-unlike itunes-and is really quick.

    Also does anyone know how to stop the connect screen from showing every time my battery dies or i turn it off……it is really annoying to have to keep using blackra1n to unblock it

  820. Is there a blackra1n RC3? I saw it on another website and it said that it can jailbreak an Ipod touch 3G 8Gb MC model but it will be tethered. Is this true?

  821. hey, i jailbroke my ipod and now it gets stuck on the connect to itunes screen (tethered) is there a way to untether it?

  822. Anyone know where to get some apps for free that you can only get with a jailbroken ipod touch?

  823. hi i got my ipod touch the other day.
    i wanna jail brake it but every one seems so negative about it. what should i do because i dont wanna mess up my ipod.

  824. Every time i try to install Cydia, it says “Downloading Cydia”, but the bar doesn’t move for like a minute, then it shows this error message:

    Could Not Download.
    Error: Error
    Domain=NSURLErrorDomain
    Code=-1001 Userinfo=0x19f4f0
    “timed out”

    What do i do?

  825. once an untethered version comes out, will I have to format or can we “upgrade” our jailbreak to untethered. (and if so, must it be yours or can we upgrade with any jailbreak app?)

    btw, how close are we to a tethered version? not rushing. just curious.

  826. thank you so much this was so easy and helpful i was worried it’d be rlly difficult but u made it so easy!

  827. i download blackra1n on my IPod touch 3.1.2
    (7D11) and i rebooted my IPod more then twice but every time i try to download Cydia i get this message…

    and it was jailbroken.

  866. my itouch 2g 3.1.2
    it wont sync the apps to itunes…and i do have app sync…it worked a while ago..but now it doesnt…help plz :D

  867. For those who still can’t jailbreak 3.1.2
    1. Connect your restored to original Ipod to PC
    2. Shut down all Itunes processes
    3. Run blackra1n.exe and press “make it ra1n”
    4. Ipod will reboot and blackra1n will appear on the Ipod screen
    5. Navigate to blackra1n on Ipod Touch and Ran it. Install Cyndia
    6. Run Cyndia(don’t upgrade when asked!!!)
    7. Go to Manage -> Sources -> Edit -> Add -> type sinfuliphonerepo.com -> click “add source”
    8. Go to find and type Appsync. Install AppSync for OS 3.1.2
    9.Go to find and type Install0us. Install it.
    10.Go to find and type iFile. Install it.
    11.Find on Cyndia and install Automati SSH, Open SSH, Toggle SSH
    12. Install Winscp on your PC. Run it.
    13. Host name is IPod’s Ip address. user – root, pass – alpine
    14. Press Save then login. Type alpine in password field again.
    15. Now u shouldhave access to all folders on Ipod.
    16. Put ipas to root/var/mobile/downloads

    I’m wondering if you guys could help me.
    I jailbroken my ipod just fine but everytime I had to reboot it, it always get stuck at the itune + usb recovery screen.
    There is a way to fix it and get it boot it up again, but plugging it back into the computer and make it rain again.
    My question is, does anybody else out there have this same problem? And how to fix it so I don’t have to keep plugging it back and making it rain everytime I reboot the ipod touch.
    BTW it is the 2nd gen touch, 8gb, 3.1.2.

    Thanks in advance.

    1. Yea i seem to have the same problem when i try doing it on my friends ipod, its an 8gb as well. It works fine on my 16gb though. Anyone know why this could be happening? Please let me know asap.

    2. you cant turn off the ipod or let the battery die beacuse the jailbreak will be gone

    3. my itouch is stuck on the connect to itunes screen like when you get it !!! help me PLEASE!!!

      1. You would have to restore your ipod by clicking Restore on itunes.. it will return your ipod back to factory settings

  890. Hi,

    I’d like to know if I can jailbreak my ipod touch to the new firmware (OS 3.1.0) if I my ipod touch is already jailbroken (OS 3.0.0)

    Thank you for your answer!

    1. It doesn’t seem to delete anything but it just have a problem with booting up.
      It will get stuck at the usb + itune screen again and the only way to get it boot up is to “let it rain” again with blackra1n.
      After it boot up, everything you had on there will still be there.
      But I’m trying to find out if anyone out there know of a way to bypass this.

  892. I have another problem.

    I downloaded a theme from Cydia and now it’s asking me to reboot my device…i have no other option but to reboot it or else I wont be able to use Cydia.

    I have the new iPod touch and i already have alot of apps from installous but I have NOT connected my ipod to itunes yet cause im scared its gonna mess up

    PLEASE HELP

    2. Its fine to reboot, but if you get stuck at the usb+itune screen then just let it rain again.

  893. After i downloaded Rock i downloaded a theme then it said it was going to reboot but it didnt, so i turned it on nd it stays on the usb + itunes screen so i plug it in then itunes says its in recovery mode nd that i have to restore it. If i click restore will i loose everything? what do i do?!?

  894. Ze Bob – you can disable this feature by next time when you connect your ipod to your system and when you get the itunes screen then click your IPOD shown in the list and you should have a itunes sync window and then click on summary and there you need to check the option for manually manage your music etc… make sure uncheck the option for automatically start itunes when you connect your ip with pc… this should take care of this issue.

  897. dude will it erase all the data on your ipod cuz i bought tons of apps and im afraid it won’t work and delete all of my apps. I have a ipod touch 3g 32gb

  898. Hey, I accidently deleted the blackra1n icon…I have restored it a few times now and then tried to reinstall blackra1n. The icon still won’t come back…any help????

  899. so i restored it but when i clicked it ran the blackra1n it messed
    on my screen and now the pic of that guy is stuck on my screen and it wont end

  900. I noticed you mention iPod Touch 2G and 3G.

    1. you have to go to cydia and download cydia to your ipod or iphone go to manage then sources(on cydia) then edit and then add put in cydia.hackulo.us it should download once it says complete press return to cydia go to search and type instal, go down to the I’s and download installous ( you don’t need to download installer as well)
      go back to your home screnn then to safari and type in appulo.us NOT appulous.us click the top link, (it will rake a while) if it says to put in an answer to get in the answer is – cavern, once you are in search any app or game you want go to download (the best site is appscene) download the app ( it may take a while) when it is completed go to your home screen, to installous, go to downloads and select what you downloaded (in options there is a clean/dirty file option, i suggest dirty because it will accept any file type or any publisher, i havent had any problems) once you have selected it , it will download when completed go to your hme screen and it should be there!

      info : mine is iPod Touch 3rd gen, 8gb with 3.12 OS.


  925. Jeff:

    i have an 8g ipod touch firmware 3.1.2 if i use this to jail break it will it be tethered? i’ve read a lot on blackr4in and it says the only way to hack the 8g 3.1.2 is tethered jailbreaking. is there any untethered jail breaking process?

    um. Is that 8 g ipod touch of yours a holy ipod touch or something? You are the first one to get a 8 gen one… ahaha

  927. I can’t connect to the apple app store or itune store or view my profile from my ipod touch 3g 3.1.2 after i jailbreak or even after i restore it. can anyone help, please??

  928. I deleted the blackra1n icon from my ipod but I can’t get it back. I tried erasing my ipod but it doesn’t work.

  929. I don’t have a wi-fi connection from home, is there any way I could download Cydia from my home computer and put it onto my iTouch 8gig that way?

    1. No i dont think you can. Just go to a place that has free wi-fi & download it. You can go to starbucks, mcdonalds, borders, etc.. Hope i helped.

  930. hi
    my problem was when i install blackra1n to my ipod touch 64g and the app showed ok
    i did not have wifi internet signal that time, so i deleted the blackerain app by mistake then tried to install it again but nothing showed for that app again on the screen i tried to go to other page in ipod not possible
    I tried to restore ipod by iTunes it gave me wrong message every time
    please help me what can i do to return blackra1n back
    sorry for my English

  931. When I download it, and it says you’re done I reboot my itouch and no blackra1n is there? PLEASE HELP!!!

    2. did you figure it out? If so, let me know what you did. I am having the same issue…

  935. ik wil graag van die gratis spelen via de app store downloaden kan dat met deze?, zoja hoe?

  938. Okay, I’ve gone through 10 pages of comments and haven’t found one full proof way of fixing this:

    I have an iPod Touch 3G 32GB and whenever I try to make it ra1n it just goes into recovery mode and doesn’t do anything, I then click make it ra1n again while it’s connected and nothing happens at all. Please give me a very helpful comment.

    1. Did you figure it out? My iPod Touch 64GB is connected via USB and has the same logo on it – the usb cable pointing to iTunes. I tried making it rain several other times but nothing….no response on my iPod. I can’t even turn it off….

  939. Hi everyone

    1. Im connected via the usb. blackra1n dose it’s bit but when i turn the pod off i lose it all? can u help?

  943. I got a mac. Itunes pops up and says, ” Itunes has detected your ipod in recovery mode. You must recovery your ipod before using it with itunes.” I can recover it and everything is back to normal I just want you jailbreak my ipod touch 3rd generation unteathered. HELP! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! =p

      I got a mac. Itunes pops up and says, ” Itunes has detected your ipod in recovery mode. You must recovery your ipod before using it with itunes.” I can recover it and everything is back to normal I just want you jailbreak my ipod touch 3rd generation unteathered. HELP! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! =p

      You idiot. Basically what that means is that Apple has detected that you’re installing a jailbreak and is asking “please may I patch your iPod so that jailbreaking it will become impossible?”.

      Use a little more common sense in future.

  944. the blackra1n is still tethered on my 2g ipod touch. works great until you turn it off, then all you get on reboot is the itunes icon, you have to re blackra1n it again. came with 3.1.2 firmware. any way round this yet?

  945. i was trying to jailbreak my ipod and blackra1n crashed

    is my ipod ‘bricked’ or something

  946. i tried to jailbreak it again but it says:

    “This application has failed to start because QTCF.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”

    i have tried to reinstall the but it says the same thing

  948. im not sure whether to jailbreak or not because is there any chance it can completely break and if it goes wrong can you fully restore it back to normal

  949. i don’t know if anyone else has had this problem, but i jailbroke my itouch 3g running 3.1.2 and downloaded cydia and everything, and it all worked. i thought it slowed down my itouch so i restored it. then i found out i could get pokemon so i re-jailbroke it. i have blackra1n on the itouch, and i can download cydia. when i download anything from cydia, however, i have to reboot, and when i reboot, it comes up with the recovery screen. help??

    1. @#33 u must plug in the ipod to ur pc then run blackrain
      alsoanyone were u click make it rain and it gets stuck in recovery mode i fixed mine by NOT running in compatability mode i run vista

  950. I don’t see where everyone’s problems came from. My old iPod (jailbroken) died on me I restored and this worked fine. By far the easiest.

  951. uhh my ipod is showing itunes logo and the end of an ipod adapter is it working? plz help quick

  952. Randy: Re-run blackrain

    Anyone know how to get around having to run blackrain to boot up an ipod? I have to do so everytime i reboot or turn off my ipod to get it to boot (goes to recovery mode)

  953. crap…. it didnt work on my ipod it almost got bricked but it still works i just synced it to itunes again im waiting for it to finish restoring and syncing :( i think my game saves and accounts on the games are deleted D:

  954. hey guys!! thanks for showing how to do it !!
    but do i lose my waranty cuz i put 3 years waranty for my itouch 64g 3.1.2 !!
    so will i lose my waranty ….
    thanks

    1. If there were a problem you can always reboot to factory settings. Then your warranty is fine. If you tell someone you jailbroke it then of course your warranty will be voided.

    2. if something happens to it and you can still plug it in and it comes up in itunes restore and you’ll be set

  955. OMG This was so simple. I spent WEEKS trying to jailbreak my ipod touch before realizing I had a 3G. Everyone else said it can’t be done. They lied and this was so damn easy. I am going to donate some money RIGHT NOW thank you George you are so awesome.

  956. 1. My ipodtouch 2g 32 gb memory is almost full. Do i need this memory in my lap to jailbreak?

    2. Does it need to be running itunes to jailbreak? does it have to be closed?

    3. It’s been plugged for about 20 min, and still the “entering recovery” screen. How long?

  957. i installed jailbrk….but when i launch the application it says”please check ur internet connection”
    what should i do….???
    i dnt hav a intenet connection….

  960. I cannot firgure this out… ok, so, i make it rain, and i get blackra1n on my ipod touch (3.1.2 32gb) and i can install cydia and rock, but then whenever i try to get anything from the apps it trys downloading then it goes into recovery mode, ive left it like that for probably a half an hour but it wont fix itself, and this is now the 3rd time ive tryed to run blackra1n. I need help =(

    1. yay! nevermind, i guess 4th time is the charm …? i dunno how, but it works now

  961. whis is stupid, I don’t like the idea of having to run blackra1n everytime you reboot. What if you need to reboot when you are on a trip, and you can’t. Very rehtard, I jailbreaked mine, and than i decided not too because of this hogwash nonscence reboot thing. And now I have to delete everything, reset it, and download an update.

  962. hey there >:D, i have the new ipod touch 64 GB. i was wondering if i install older firmware from other ipod models will i be able to have untethered jailbreak?

  963. Can you let me know if the RC4 untethered version is out or when it comes out. I have the 8gb 3g. If any1 is selling an ipod touch or an iphone cheap plz let me know. Thanks loads.

  964. Guys,
    It did not work for me either. I followed all the instructions, started the file in XP Compatible mode, had all the apps closed in my machine. I had to restore all my apps. It’s totally not worth it. By the way, I have Ipod Touch 3g with 3.1.2 version firmware.

  965. I have a 32 gb ipodtouch 3g. I have downloaded blackra1n and after it reboots I can’t find the app anywhere. Plz help me.

  967. ipod 2nd gen(3.2.1.) whenever i click make it rain my ipod turns into an itunes logo and adapter nuthings happening i had to restore it again and i had to wait another 2 hours to get it back to normal whats happening? plzzz help :(


  968. sandstar:

    himy problem was when i install blackra1n to my ipod touch 64g and the app showed oki did not have wifi internet signal that time, so i deleted the blackerain app by mistake then tried to install it again but nothing showed for that app again on the screen i tried to go to other page in ipod not possibleI tried to restore ipod by iTunes it gave me wrong message every timeplease help me what can i do to return blackra1n backsorry for my English

  969. whenever I press the “make it ra1n” button, my ipod touch(3g 32gb) never gets the picture. It just has a blank screen. Is something wrong with it?

  970. Hey,
    When I tried jail breaking my ipod touch 3.1.2 on a mac, the picture came up and it said wait for reboot, but nothing happened ,it just stayed black. I don’t know if I have to wait longer or what.
    For now I just keep restoring it.
    If you can get back to me that would be great thanks.

  971. Hei, im buying an ipod touch 32gb (3g), can anyone please tell me step by step on how to jailbreak it?
    Suppose if i hav a version 3.0, how do i upgrade it to 3.1.2? then do i use black rain? please reply!!!!

  972. i upgraded my ipod touch to 3.1.2 by downloading it from a site then when i restored it downloaded it for me off itunes but now my apps wont work and wont show up when i download them from rock or cydia

  973. is that really possible to jailbreak touch 8gb mc? cuz as i read some other forums, they say it doesnt work on that firmware. i tried to do jailbreak many times but each time i tried, it was on the DFU mode. there is a program named iphone browser. when i tried to browse the device, it just reminded that it was not jailborekn. i am really wondering whether it works or not.

  974. I restored my ipone 3g and now it wont load up what can i do to get working again.

  976. Blackra1n does work with 3.1.2. I have a 3rd gen ipod touch and I jailbroke my ipod with blackra1n. When you plug it in just follow the instructions. The only thing is you cant ever turn your ipod off or you will have to redo the jailbreak process with blackra1n all over again, but it does work .

  977. I was able to unlock just fine. But the only issue is when you turn the phone off it asked to connect to itunes in recovery mode. is there a fix for this yet?. I know i read somthing it has to do with the boot order now. any suggestions?

    1. you must have the ipod 3rd generation. those you cant turn them off or connect to itunes when jailbroken.

  978. DO NOT use this method if you have ipod touch 3g 3.1.2 because i did it and when i turned my ipod off it stuffed up and i had to restore it. PLUS themes DO NOT work

    1. If you had read the instructions properly, you’d know that running blackra1n again fixes the restore issue when you restart your iPod Touch

  979. Works like a Charm :D IPOD Touch 8GB 2nd Gen Took less than 5 mins A++++++ Brillant Will recomend :D

  983. i have a 3g with 3.1.1 if i jailbreak will it be a ‘teather’ (not sure if i spelled that right) jailbreak???

  984. do i have to have WIFI for blackra1n to work???
    and does itunes have to be off(not running) when i download it?
    thanks

  985. Hey Imran, is there gonna be an update BlackRa1n or something like it soon. Something that can bypass the “tethered” feature we’re almost all suffering from.

    1. I expect an update to be available but not sure by when we’ll get our hands on it. It’s sad that Apple has made it harder for 3rd gen iPod Touch jailbreakers, but currently the best way is to avoid restarts.

  987. do i hav to connect the i pod to the pc every tym i switch it of……nd also it goes in the recovery mode where it downloads the latest software update……is everything alright….???

  988. why my itouch cant switch on after download blackra1n ?? i must restore first then itouch can switch on back..so anyone can help me to solve it ?? cos i followed all the introduction about jailbreak..help me urgent

  989. can ne1 tell me how can i see vidio like controls while playin audio files…..like we can go directly to the end of the song without having to press the fast frwrd button for long…….

  991. Pingback: iTouch Jailbreak Tutorial - iPod Touch & iPhone Modding

  993. i downloaded it and it says its done i got the picture but the app isnt there????/

  995. i believe some people here just want to have everything for free and it must be good otherwise complaints are mostly very cruel and unfair to the developer of this great tool -> blackra1n. (thank you geohot) i used it on a few iphones and had no problem so far. for my friends ipod 3g MC its not possible AT THE MOMENT, to reboot it without make it ra1n.

    to all who complained, restore it to original firmware and use it as a normal ipod and shut up. if you didnt inform yourself what is possible at the moment, then its your own fault. i convinced my friend to keep it jbroken, because the possibilities are really cool when its free.

    PLEASE A BIT MORE RESPECT FOR THE DEVELOPERS. THEY MAKE A GREAT WORK FOR THE PUBLIC.

  996. You should try it doe without (run it under mode xp) it worked for me (ive vista)succes

  998. Okay maybe its just because I’m a noob. But I have an iPod touch 3g and using 3.1.2 firmware. When I run blackra1n on my windows xp it didn’t worked the first time so I ran it again like it well I say the picture on my ipod like it said but then iTunes popped and up and said something about my ipod being in recovery mode and it would have to be restored to factory settings. So my question is: IS THIS NORMAL? Do I just need to leave my ipod alone and let it “reboot.” I’m new to this whole thing so work with me. Any advice? Email: Garrett059@hotmail.com or reply on this thing I guess, I’ll keep checking periodically through out the night.

  999. NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Whenever i download blackra1n it works… but then the wait to reboot thing comes up and nothing happens.
    i have a 3rd gen ipod touch
    HelP PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  1000. I have tried this procedure on 2 Ipod touch Gen 2’s, and both experience the same probelm.

    After the jailbreak, everything is working great – Cydia working, etc.

    A few days later, the ipods were turned on an the ‘Connect to ituens’ logos appeared. Had to do a full restore to factory settings. IF anyone knows why this would happen, please comment. Otherwise, perhaps I’ll try the Sn0wbreeze method.

  1002. help
    “UPDATE: If your device doesn’t boot again, don’t panic. Just re-run blackra1n while the device is plugget in”
    my itouch dosen’t boot after every reboot. i have to run blackra1n ater every reboot. how can i fix it???

  1003. Please tell me guys I installed blackra1n but I cant install sn0w or cydia because my phoe says me please check internet connections.How do I connect to internet vi my sim if I not unlocked yet

  1004. works great, and to answer ben’s question yes go into cydia and install source cydia.hackulo.us and then install installous from source thats where u get apps from there r videos all over youtube on how to do this

  1008. plzz dude email me back …….ur a saint ………..i swear if this works ill crap on myself 3:00 in the morning in front of a big mac in the middle of a freeway

  1010. dude everyone is saying its not working so im not gonna try this until its properly fixed!

  1013. Hi,
    I had my Itouch 2G already jailbreaked with the firmware 3.0, but I decided to restore, update it to 3.1.2, and jailbreak it again. The thing is, that everything worked according to the “guide” and I can install cydia andstuff like that, but there is no way to add the cracked ipas that I had before. Is that normal??, or am I missing something in the process.
    Thanks

  1014. Hi, I’ve solved the problem I posted before, I just followed some instructions posted in this forum, which worked perfectly:

    @ SAFAD,
    Found this via Google, not sure if it will work for you.

    Open Cydia > Manage > Sources > Edit
    Add source “http://cydia.hackulo.us” cant post links >. Hackulo.us > “AppSync for OS3.0″ > Read info
    Install > done
    ————————

  1015. I uninstalled it on my ipod and now when i try to re intall it the app for it wont come back

  1016. Thnx bud,

    i had try’d youtube before this and gotten no where :S
    try’d your site worked first time ;)

    keep it up kido

  1017. i was just wondering if after my ipod is jailbroken will it erase all my music, apps, ect. or will it just add the blackra1n app?

  1019. my problem is when i install blackra1n and my akku will go down i have to dock it on itunes and all my apps and music is deleted
    why ???

  1020. Hey hello, after downloading everything. Where do I go to get the applications?

  1021. was sceptical about doing this to my ipod worked first time for me,but where do i get the applications from now?

  1022. after jailbreaking my ipod touch 3g 3.1.2 when i connect it on my laptop to go on itunes it says ipod in recovery mode restore settings.

  1025. I have jailbroken my 3.1.2 softwear version ipod and when i turn my ipod off. i lose all my music. WTF I DO TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING?

  1026. I have jailbroken my 3.1.2 softwear version ipod and when i turn my ipod off. i lose all my music. WTF I DO TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING?

  1029. This all sounds pretty shaky to me. Have you guys read all of the pleas for help with their dead Ipod? I would rather buy my apps then have an expensive paperweight. Good luck to all of you. I’ll play it safe for now.

  1030. HEYYY my second time jailbreaking i was on 3.0 but now 3.12
    umm
    when i restore my ipod
    before jailbreak
    should
    i shift+click restore
    from a firmware of 3.12 i downlaoded
    or should i restore straight from ituness
    and in any of thsoe tow does my ipod have to be connected in DFU mode?

  1032. hey yea i jailbroke my itouch and then i downloaded rock and cydia then when i clicked on the other apps that came with the itouch they didnt come up..then i restarted it and when i tried to turn it bck on its said “ROCK YOU PHONE” installing then i restarted it again adn now it wont turn on…help PLEASE

  1033. Was having problems with this also. Using Vista Home Premium SP2 32bit. Kept getting stuck at “entering recovery” & “connect to itunes” on ipod touch 3g. Followed the instructions exactly, but it kept happening. So I decided to not follow the instructions. What solved the problem for me was NOT running the program in WinXP Compatibility Mode! Once I bypassed that, the jailbreak was easy. Hope this helps someone else out there who what as frustrated as I was. Cheers.

  1034. Hey i jailbroke my ipod touch but when i go to get a game that costs money, it stil does.. but it said it would all be free..(the games)

  1036. I don’t fucking believe it! My ipod touch 3g 3.1.2 was successfully jailbroken, I love u George!!!!! UR #1

  1038. Okay. So today my brother bought an iPod Touch from Walmart. I THINK it is a 3gen but I don’t know how to tell. I am assuming it is though.

    I use blackra1n to jailbreak it. *Note: I have jailbroken both mine and my girlfriends iTouchs with blackra1n without issue. Anyways, I clicked make it ra1n, waited, and saw the splash screen on the ipod. blackra1n said “Wait for reboot” or something. The ipod turned off and sat there. I figured it was done and unplugged it. I attempted to turn it on and it didn’t turn on. Screen does nothing.

    So, I plug it in to my computer. iTunes tells me it found an ipod in Recovery mode and I have to restore it. I attempted to exit recovery mode on ipod by holding Home + Power buttons at the same time and nothing happened. Sat there for 2 mins. Nothing. So I figured I would just restore it. When I attempt to restore it, I get either 1604 or 1600 errors every time. Tried every USB port on 3 computers, Restarting, re-installing iTunes, running blackra1n again, everything. My iPod will absolutely not do ANYTHING. I need help. I screwed up my brothers ipod he just bought today.

    1. plug in ur cable to the ipod but not into the computer then hold down the home button then about 2 seconds after that plug the other end of the wire into the computer, it worked for me

  1039. there is still no untethered version of this right? i have jailbroken about 6 ipods, and mine was the only one that was succesfully unthetehered… and it was the 1st one i did.
    so has there been an untethered version quite yet?

  1040. Iran black ra1n on my ipod touch (2nd gen 3.1 software) and it worked and everything but now it won’t turn back on and also if i plug it into itunes it doesnt even sow up as an ipod plugged in? Any suggestions???

  1042. Okay i did everyithing but when its says your ipod had been jailbreak, instead of rebooting and getting the picture of george, my ipod touch screen just became black and then nothing is happening. What should i do ?

  1044. It worked at first, but when i downloaded rock and tried downloading an app, it was stuck in recovery mode, i have a lot of apps, that i paid for, and i dont’ want to waste the money, is there any way to just cancel the “recovery mode”?

    1. Nope sorry :| well just jailbreak it again, and look up how to download “Installous” and get all the paid apps back for free :D

  1046. when you first go on cydia and it asks you if you are a user, a hacker or something else (cant remember what it was), how do you change your selection after you have already done it

  1048. hiii , i looked through almost all the comments
    and most of them turned out in bad situationss,
    should i do this myself , or let a guy i kinda now through
    a friend do it for mee (which he might not actually end up doing)
    im scared if my ipod ends up not working.

  1050. i have an iPod Touch with 3.1.2. software already installed on it when i bought it. All these comments are freakin me out and i dont know if i should do it myself, or have my friend do it for me (his iPod is jailbroken but with different software). What should i do?

  1051. my iPod is a 3rd generation with 3.1.2. software when i bought it. All these comments are freaking me out and i do NOT know what to do. Should i use blackra1n even though i have 3.1.2. software came with my iPod? or should i just have my friend do it for me?(my friend’s iPod is jailbroken but my iPod is a newer version) I really DO NOT KNOW what to do. Help?

  1052. THANK YOU SO MUCH! this worked perfectly and my jailbroken ipod works great! i have also jailbroken my friends ipods using this guide. thanks again :P

  1053. guys for vista, dont set the compatibility mode to XP.. leave it as it is :)

  1054. Help!
    I installed blackra1n and it was fine…installed Cydia from blackra1n ipod app.
    When i ran cydia it took away all app icons except Youtube and BBc iPlayer!
    Shall i restore and start again?

  1056. i download blackra1n, ran through the whole thing. i didn’t get any icon… i have an iphone 3G version 3.1.2 , modem firmware 05.11.07 . can anyone help me please…. : (

  1057. Should I update my iPod touch? I jailbroke my iPod already and I have a lot of stuff on it, and I’m scared that if I update it, everything will get deleted. HELP!

  1058. holy crap. please change your instructions re: compatibility mode. i had to factory restore 3 times, then thanks to mudkip, i removed the compatibilty mode and it finally worked!

  1060. Hi, after uninstalling blackrain , I install it again, but this time ,there is no blackrain icon appear on my ipod. I try intstall it again 10x but fails to show the icon. Any solution.Thanks

  1061. i tried to jail brake, i ran the software and did every thing it sed, but its just went straight into recovery mode, is this bad?

  1062. i been using blackra1n app for my ipod touch for almost a month now without any problem.. :D

    if your ipod/iphone wont reboot after the installation or everytime u restart ur phone/ipod (DFU mode), just hook it again to your laptop and run blackra1n app.. let the blackra1n do the rebooting and thats it!! no need to do anything

  1063. i just jailbroke my ipod touch with 3.1.2 software and it had to restore all of my apps and memory. should i have itunes up while jailbreaking or not?

  1066. i jailbroke my ipod but i have to rejailbreak it so it i can use my ipod everytime. what can i do to fix this

  1068. it seems to work fine but when its done it wont reboot and i cant use my ipod…i tried to restore my ipod using itunes and it said it cant restore now i cant turn my ipod on at all…when i tried it showed a picture ot the usb going to itunes icon on the main screen wat do i do?

  1071. When i hit make it ra1n it said connect to itunes on my ipod and wont do anything, is this normal

  1072. it works!! i have itouch 2g 3.1.2 UNCHECK where it says “open itunes when ipod is connected” and then close itunes. then plug in itouch and open blackra1n

    1. rust plug it in and wait for the connec to itunes to pop up and then run blackra1n

  1074. hey
    i just bought itouch 32GB and i have upgraded it to 3.1.2 in my itouch youtube is not working wi-fi is ok only youtube is not getting connected anyone knows the solution for this, i am unable to view youtube videos also. Thanks in advace

    1. haha you got the most annoying problem. go to cydia, manage, sources, edit, add cydia.pushfix.info, and youtube fix #3

  1075. Hey, the solution is… BECAUSE It is a TETHERED jailbreak… YOU HAVE to have it connected to your PC or MAC, and then once you see that it is still on the itune and USB cable DFU mode… then just runra1n again, and it will boot up and you will see blackra1n there.

  1076. I don’t know whats happening to all of these other people cause mine is working great! thanks it was so quick!

  1077. ok so i jailbroke my ipod touch 2nd gen and everything is fine with the jailbreak except when i turn off the whole ipod and reboot it , it shows the connect to itunes sign how do i fix this problem because i would like to reboot it on occasions thanks.

  1078. hi all.
    i have just jailbraek my ipod touch 3g 3.1.2 but i want to download some apps butt which program do i need for that

    1. you have to open up cydia/rock (whichever you downloaded) then go to manage then sources. click add source. then type in cydia.hackulo.us. once u did tht then go to the search tab and type in installous. install that then open it up. if there is a toll bridge than the answer is cavern. once that is done then all you need to do is search for one or type in a name of an app and install it. sounds complicated but its not

  1095. Hi, to those who want youtube to work you need to go to cydia, then manage ,then manage sorces, edit, add : “http://fishbone.ge”
    once this has been added click on Fishbone. scroll down and find “Push Notification fix” click install.
    to get apps for free, you need to go to cydia, manage, sorces as above then add : “http://cydia.hackulo.us” when this is installed , click it and search or installous and install. :)

  1108. How long should it take
    its been 20 min and it still says entering recovery mood

  1109. well i am new to jail breaking in fact i barley knew what JAILBREAKING mean before now. my conscious is having a civil war deciding if i should jail breaking is worth it. i got 4 pages of PAID applications and aww forget it ill google it.

  1110. mine wont work, that guys’ face wont appear, it just goes to recovery mode and nothing happens.

  1111. if ur itouch keep showing the itunes thing it means u have to recover and upgrade to 3.1.3. also all itouch 3g cannot be jailbreak with 3.1.3 but others like 2g can use red snow

    1. add hackulous as a source in cydia, get the appsync and installulous apps…bingo, installulous will be your new source for cracked ipa files…i.e. free app store apps

      1. i have cydia and everything , but i cant find hackulous anywhere , where do i get free apps!

  1115. how do i jailbrake my 1g 3.1.2 ipod? my ipod does everything exept the spiny thingy on the bottom of the kid’s picture, then it goes back to regular ipod mode… is there a way i could do it for my 1g???

    1. my friend made me try it but i did not want to take a chance so i told my friends about it and then my others friends tryed it n they were mad because now it took 3 weeks to download the app called facebook and my ipodtouch it takes a min so unless you want to try it then be ready to wait a long time to just download one app

      1. this is not the case with my ipod… i hav a 3.1.2 gen iTouch and bought it before christmas and it runs beaaauuutifulll

  1116. after i “Make it Rain” my ipod touch 3.1.2 (8g) goes to a screen showing an itunes icon and a wire and wont let me access it until i restart the ipod and Blackrain doesn’t work. how do i get past this problem?

    1. hey matt, that happened to me too, it kind of sucks, but its really simple… all u have to do is hold the home and power button untill it turns off… then connect it to ur computer and u’ll have to restore your ipod. try the make it ra1n after that and it should work

      1. when u try it again make sure u click download instead of run and then click open folder and when u open it right click on its name and click properties and go to compatability and check run this compatabillity to windows xp and then click ok and then double click it and runn it

  1117. i jailbroken it once then after a while my ipod 3g turned black so i restarted it and the blackrain was gone so was all my stuff on it so i had to recover all my stuff and now i cant rejailbreak my ipod. it jus shows the connect to itunes sign.Any help?

  1119. Anyway I can just upgrade to 3.1.2? I have 3.1.1 right now and iTunes will only download me straight to 3.1.3.

  1121. back to Keith’s and dylan’s all you guys have to do is do it agin and it schould be fix

  1122. Ok so i plug in my iPod 3g then i open up blackra1n i make “make it rain” and it goes thru all fo the steps it needs to then it say’s “done, wait for reboot” on blackra1n so then i wait then wait but the only thing on my iPod screen is a black screen CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

      1. To reboot you just press the hold button and home button at the same time for like 15 secs, let go of the hold button but keep pressing the home button for like 8 secs and wait for the apple sign to come on.

  1123. every time i jail break it i will do everything that i want done to it then when i plug it in or shut it off and turn i back on it goes into recovery mode.. how do i keep it jailbroken with out having to lose all my stuff eveytime i plug it in??

    1. this is ordinary activity… you should not lose anything when u replug it, simply jail break. i have had to do this several times but its worth it… and i dont see the reason to turn it off if u charge it

  1124. This may be a scam … like the others that wrote I downloaded br to my ipod touch 3.1.2 and now nothing works … everytime I turn it on it shows the cable and itunes icon and I had to restore the ipod… now I have firmware 3.1.3 which you get automatically from itunes when you restore … if I did something wrong let me know, but others trying this, beware.

      1. you should try several things before giving up. I had the same problem, i simply redownloaded 2 times and ran blackra1n and it worked. you have to learn perserverance

  1125. Same probem my daughter accidentally updated it to 3.1.3 I have two new ipod touch’s 32 gig mine is fine but daughters just shows black screen help.

  1126. Hello i accidently deleted the black rain app from my ipod and cant get it back how can i put it back on my ipod?

  1127. i deleted blackrain to and tried to put it back on but when it gets to the part where its supposed to reboot it just goes to the locked screen and it nevr finishes installing what do I do?

  1128. Todd i did the same thing im going to tell u guys dont do this i wasted and hour doing this and wow

  1129. ok ive jail broken my ipod but now every time i turn my ipod on it says i have to plug into i tunes its realy annoying

    ( i can get past it my jailbreaking it again but tis would b a problem if i dont have a computer with me)

  1130. buy a charger then.. untheatrd jailbreak will only allow jailbroken itouch3rd gen to run smoothly without being turned off.. sleep mode will do,,..

  1132. relax Imran … as you can see it’s not working for a lot of people … I did see on youtube someone who was jailbreaking his ipod touch and it was a MA model and he made a point of saying it was a MA not a MC model … mine is a MC, maybe that’s the problem.

  1133. man i just jailbreaked my ipod but when i wanted to download a them it syas u need to restart the ipod to continue and i coudnt get out even when i tried to turn it of so now i have to do the new update and im not even sure if they have a jialbreak for3.1.3 3g i pod touch now i think this sucks

  1134. Is there a way to jailbreak a MC model ipod touch … either a 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 firmware?

  1135. The blackra1n on my computer wont stop saying “done, wait for reboot.” I’ve rebooted it a thousand times and now I don’t know what to do because the “done, wait for reboot” message wont go away.

    Help?

  1136. This worked perfect for me when i had the 3.1.2 version on my ipod 3g, but then i updated and cant find any to jailbreak ther 3.1.3. Will this work on the version 3.1.3?

  1137. If I jailbreak my iPod I hear it takes away any warenty on the iPod? Is this true and if so is it worn it?

    1. you can tell if it is a mc or ma goo to settings and click about and it should say model. from there you should find model and it will say model ms or ma

  1140. if your jailbreaking takes more than 1 minute and is stuck on recovery mode. do what i did

    first-unplug ur ipod and turn it off by holding the power button
    second-restart your computer
    third-reinstall darkra1n
    fourth-just as you run it, reconnect your ipod and it should work

    1. I did exactly what you told me and it works.
      Thanks alot for helping me out I was very frustrated

  1141. i hav installed cydia……but can ne1 guide me on how to install applications on my ipod……i hav lot of applications on my pc…….

  1151. Erwin:

    hi all. i have just jailbraek my ipod touch 3g 3.1.2 but i want to download some apps butt which program do i need for that

    u need Cydia

  1154. OK MY 32GB IPOD TOUCH HAS HAD THIS BLACK SCREEN FOR ABOUT AN HOUR… AND I RE RUN THE PROGRAM AND IT NOT WERKING…. WHAT TO DO KNOW…. RESPOND ASAP THANKS

    1. what black screen? just pure black or is it the restore screen? if all else fails u can restore (but u will have to update and will be unable to jailbreak until a new blackra1n is released

  1155. can help me please i beg u

    okay i have a ipod touch 3rd gen on firmware 3.1.2 and when i want to restore it says this will delete all things off the ipod but it also says it will update the firmware and i dont want that becasue i know first hand 3.1.3 dosnt work so how do i get past this

    its properly very easy but i wanna be sure

    ps this is because i want to install blackra1n

  1156. WILL “blackra1n” WORK ON 3.13?!?! SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER BECAUSE IT’S NOT WORKING FOR ME! I connect my iPod, select “Make it ra1n” and it works, then it says “Done, wait for reboot!” So I did what the one guy said, and held the home and the hold thingy buttons for 15 seconds, then just the home for 8, and all my apps appear again. But “blackra1n” isn’t on there…HELP!

  1157. it got stuck when it got to the connect to itunes part and i couldn’t get psat that. help!

    1. redownload blackra1n and disconnect your ipod from the computer before turning it off..
      just as you run ur redownloaded blackra1n reconnect your ipod and it should work

  1158. i have an ipod touch 2g 3.1.3 firmwire and i plug it in doesnt work it just restore my ipod thats it

  1161. MC model can be jailbroken.. i can see how the itunes cable symbol is a problem, what you have to do is follow the steps like Geohotz said, download blackra1n, download cydia, etc. then go into cydia, set hacker, complete upgrade, download any them in sections, and when it says reboot device, dont reboot just yet, plug into your computer, go to http://www.blackra1n.com then reboot your ipod.. when you see the itunes cord, re-run your jailbreak through windows, or Mac depending on what you have, then there you go(: if your ipod does happen to die or mess up, you dont have to restore it, re jailbreak it and everything will be there. this works for all ipod touch and iphone 3.1.2. and for 3.1.3, ipod touch 1-2nd gen and iphone 3rd gen and 3gs. not ipod touch 3rd gen just yet for 3.1.3.

  1162. I have the ipod 3rd generation and its updated to 3.1.3 and i know i cant jailbreak it now, but does anyone know if il be able to soon??????? someone help me out if you could

  1173. Hi guys, maybe a silly question… but im clueless.

    I had the ipod touch 3g 32gb originally on 3.1
    Purchased the 3.1.2 upgrade through itunes, then jailbroken it.. worked like magic… Dropped it in alcohol a few parties ago :) and since then i bought a new one. The new one was 3.1 again, i jailbroke it witouht doing the 3.1.2 upgrade, so after this long boring story, my question is this:
    Am i still able to somehow upgrade to the 3.1.2 then jailbreak that? or am i stuck because itunes no longer digitally sign/approve that fw?

  1174. Wow, this is so tempting but after half of the people here saying they’ve had problems I’m having second thoughts.
    3.1.2 (7DLL)
    MC086XX
    Will it work?

  1175. okay i jailbroke my itouch 2g 3.1.2 and it worked but now on my itouch i open blackrain and i download cydia and when its done i cant find cydia its not there someone pleasr tell me what to do

  1177. hey i am vijok from netherlands
    I had my ipod jailbreak
    After few days, cydia on my ipod way
    When I restore my ipod touch via itunes
    Then I tried again to jailbreak but could not
    I always tried to jailbreak with itunes but then it was successful in jailbreak is then to reboot it at itunes

    itunes has detected an iPod which the repair mode. You must restore this iPod before you can use with itunes

    what should I do now can you help

    1. After you get it jailbroken, and the ipod touch gets rebooted, you will have use blackra1n once more because this jailbreak is teathered.. meaning on everytime your ipod/iphone needs to shutdown/reboot, its going to be on the restore mode (the itunes logo with the usb connection on the screen)… simply connect it up to blackra1n once more, jailbreak it.. and it should be fine..

    1. i am scared to download blackra1n because i dont know if it is illegal or legal.

  1179. wow… thats all i have to say, ive done many jailbreaks before, but this one is just.. wow, you didnt have to reload all your music you didnt have to re-download all your apps, you didnt even have to wait to download an ipod os. bravo…

  1180. Ok, so I have done this Jailbreak thing on my macbook… I have the 64 gig ipod touch 3rd generation and once i downloaded the blackrain and i clicked make it rain, my ipod displayed the apple symbol and is now on a blank screen. It is lit up but a blank screen. How do I fix this? I have done this many times and nothing…… Should I forcibly reboot my ipod becase blackra1n is telling me that i have to “wait for reboot” but it’s taking forever…

    1. ya same here… i have a 3g 32gb and ive had a blank screen for like 10min now..

      1. This really sucks cuz now when I restored my ipod I had not synced so I am missing $15 worth of apps. I have the receipt by email though…. What do you think I should do? It’s not on my computer or ipod and in the app store it says to buy all the apps… I already bought them though!!! XO

    2. ok you have to restore and then make it rain and if it does not work you still have a use full ipod so love it oh and do not try to down grade your firmware

  1181. 32 3rd Gen. blackra1ned, downloaded winterboard did the restart to the point of plugging it in and blackra1ned it again and nothing happens still says plug into itunes and blackra1n says waiting for device… what do I do?

  1183. Hi, I am new to jailbreaking, and I was wondering a few things about the jailbreak for itouch 3g 3.1.2. First off, will it still work with the app store if I jailbreak it? Also, will it still sync with iTunes? Thank you in advance for answering my questions.

  1185. I’m looking to get a ipod touch 3g 64gb. will this work with it or will i need to use redsn0w

    Is there any way to solve this problem, and if so how? Thanks!

        1. tht works…. but isnt there any other way.. rather than connecting it to laptop everytime i reboot??

  1192. why is the ipod 8gb not able to come back on after dying…….I have to run blackra1n everytime it dies or reeboots……..does anyone know how to fix this cuz I wanna go somewhere far that doesnt have a pc and if it dies I cud use a wall charger………………………. so please give any answers if you know any

  1193. Ok, i ran the program, and everything and my screen goes black for like 15 mins. and then my ipod reboots but theres no blackra1n app…. anyone wanna offer help??

  1194. Ok, I have 3.1.2 update, and when it comes up saying ” jailbroken blahblah wait for reboot ” mine doesnt reboot, my itunes comes up and tells me to restore. Please help

  1256. you should add that in order to downgrade to 3.1.2 from 3.1.3 like i had to you simply download the firmware then press shift+left button on mouse on the update button in itunes. this then opens it up for you to find the file you saved it in and use it to download the firmware. thank you very much for this guide. i now have a jailbroken 3.1.2 2nd gen ipod touch :) im very happy

    2. I tried that downgrade trick but it didn’t work. Every time I do it I just get the “This device isn’t eligible for this requested build” error. I was excited for a second when I read this, but now I’m back to patiently waiting for a jailbreak on the 3.1.3.

      If I hadn’t panicked in the first place when my power died and I was told to update, I wouldn’t have this problem. Oh well.

  1257. WOW!! i had jailbroken my ipod touch before, but needed to rejailbreak for the 3.1.2 firmware, and this was the easiest way to do it that i have ever seen! great job!

    1. i kepp on dowloading it blackra1n and two say done wait for reboot and another one says done!! can u plzz help me

  1258. I did everything it says to do, but the picture of the guy never comes up its just a black screen… what do I do?

  1261. hey. can anyone help me my doesn;t work. and i have had the same problem as SMO

  1263. I already jailbroke my iPod it worked for me but I can’t run street fighter iv because I don’t have the OS 3.0

  1264. I don’t understand how to use this. Do i get free apps at the app store or on cynthia?! so confused!!!!

    1. In order to get free apps you have to download certain things from Cydia. If you search on Youtube there are many tutorials on how to get free apps once you jailbreak.

  1265. i did everything this website said to do but it just says jailbreak complete & it doesnt work & the guys pic never comes up plz help!!!

  1266. would the guyz picture show up right away?
    cuz alls it is is a black screen did i do something wrong?

  1268. Okay seriously okay the only compadabilities i have is windows 95 windows 98 windows 2000 and windows NT 4.0 (service pack 5) will Blackra1n work with any of these?
    because i had it on 95 and i downloaded it twice and it didnt do anything then i downloaded it with 2000 and it made me whipe my touch clean…. or must i need windows XP?

  1269. wow. like thats the easy greatest jailbreaker ever.! great job. kudos.!

  1270. wat do i do i did have it and there i resored now it say i have to make a donation to get it back

  1271. everything went successful but when i switch off my itouch after jailbreak..it shows connect to itunes pls help.

    1. You might have a newer model (MC). If so when you reboot you have to go through the jailbreak process each time you shut it off.

  1272. i just bought a new ipod touch 3rd gen 3.1.3 firmware can i downgrader to 3.1.2 to jailbreak it or does it need to have been on 3.1.2 before

  1274. If you want a successful jailbreak with blackra1n on vista do not put in Compatibility because it will block it from working also unblock the app blackra1n from properties . And do not run as adminastrator. Because when I went to jailbreak my iPod touch 2g 3.1.2 and I put it in compatibility and ran as adminastrator and it did not work had to restore didn’t even see geohots face but I seen connect iTunes ubs cord then restored the I tried it again unchecked compatibility and didn’t run as adminastrator and it my iPod went to apple symbol then geohotz face appeared and it jailbroke. Try this if you have a vista and it’s not working for you .

  1275. doesn’t work the picture never show and itunes open saying that the ipod is in DFU mode. I don’t know why & please help!!!

          1. You dont really have to use blackra1n to jailbreak your 2G non-MC models because it wont be fully jailbroken so better to use Qucik Freedom it will fully jailbreak and its better for 2G users…

  1277. i have downloaded blackrain fine but when i connect my itouch the computer itunes says it has detected something wrong and it make me reboot. how can i prevent this?? help!

  1278. Didn’t work for me. Says “error in connection” or something like that.
    I used the usb cable, everything worked ok, hit the blackrain ap logo and that’s what it said.
    Supposed to be only wifi internet connection? As usual, limited and ignorant instructions written by techies with no common sense.

  1279. damn..it doesnt work..now my ipod just got broke..and im waiting a lot of time for the restoration damn it..

    1. steven that happened to me as well just hold down the power button till it turns off dont worry your data will not be lost. unfortunately black ra1n didnt work for me either

      1. yep same for me. just turn it off then it will come back on just like normal. wonder why it didnt work?

        1. Okay guys you need to read it says to run black rain again if it doesn’t work and it will fix the issue

  1284. umm 3.1.2 worked for me then i was like so stupid to upgrade now i dotn feel like downgrading it cause i cant find the ipodtouch firmware i can only find the 3.1.2 iphone one but yea tell em if blackra1n gets 3.1.3 firmware ready to go :DDDDDDDDDdd

  1286. Dear Blackra1n creaters,
    I updated my third generation itouch was upgraded to the OS version 3.1.3 but now I found out about jailbreaking. I’ve tried to down grade my itouch to 3.1.2 but I messed up so it’s still 3.1.3. Please inform me when you create the 3.1.3 jailbreak for the third generation itouch. Thanks for createing blackra1n (which in my opinion is the best jailbreaking system) I appreciate how you made the blackra1n application on the itouch. By!

  1288. ok so it juist shows a chord pointing to the itunes logo and i closed black rain than re open now it wont find device pleaseeee help

  1291. Ok, while using blackra1n, I was always stuck at “entering recovery” state. Anyone gets the same problem? any solution to this one? Is it something to do with the OS of my PC?

  1292. I upgraded my Ipod Touch 2g to 3.1.2 and now i cant join wifi. i can detect them but i just cant join them

    pls help me

  1294. Thanks! This was really easy. Though Cydia took awhile to load, I still am really happy with my results. It has to be the fastest Jailbreak Download around. :)

  1295. I have a mc model and 3.1.3 when blackran are u going to have it so I can jailbrak my iPod touch I need help

  1297. when i jailbreack my itouch how do i download the game that i need to pay on i tune and on my itouch could you tell me ???

    1. goto manage on cydia
      click edit on top right corner and then click add
      type in this url: cydia.hackulo.us
      then install “Installous”
      you can find most itunes paid apps using this app.

  1300. what if it didn’t work? i did it and my ipod doesn’t restore till like 30 minutes later and the blackra1n app does not show, what do i do?

    1. you hav to downgrade it. ive tried and tried but doesnt work for 3.1.3 itouch 3G 8G. its realy easy to downgrade.

  1303. wtf is this?! i get the blackrain, get cyida+RoCK and i have to have an account and a credit card ?! this is gay

  1304. mmk then explain.. plz…. id liek to start over, nhow do i uninstall cydia and RoCK…after that can ya walk me through it with links etc?

  1305. Do I downgrade my iPod touch to 3.1.2 I had that before I just want it back and I can use that blackrain I’m downloading the iPod touch 3.1.2 do I put it in Dfu or without the dfu and just open up iTunes and hold shift and restore and find your iPods firmware

  1307. I followed the procedure, installed Cydia, un-installed blackra1n and when i reboot, my ipod touch gets stuck in the recovery mode !!

    I tried few times but again the same happens.

  1309. i did your steps when i says make it rain i clicked it an says running well its been running for bout 15 mins an the screen says running how long does this take or did i screw it up???

  1310. 3.1.2 Broken and sprung, 5 minutes. Thanks. Didnt have to open itunes or anything just download, open Blackrain, connect ipod, click on Blackrain, and afterward choose options. EASY.

  1312. If it didn’t work, make sure your ipod touch is running the correct software of firmware. For it to work is MUST be running on version 3.1.2. If it is older or newer than this you must download version 3.1.2 on the internet because it is not available through iTunes anymore (due to newer versions) Hope that helps some of you. If it didn’t make sure you downloaded it correctly

  1313. Just tried te jailbreak and it’s been working for 25 minutes. How long does it take. I downgraded to 3.1.2 and put black ra1n in windows xp mode cuz i’m running windows vista.

    Thanks

  1314. Just tried te jailbreak and it’s been working for 25 minutes. How long does it take. I downgraded to 3.1.2 and put black ra1n in windows xp mode cuz i’m running windows vista.

    Thanks

  1315. Does this work with a 3rd generation 32gig iPod touch running 3.1.3??
    If not what do I need to do for it??

  1316. ok i downloaded the blackra1n file and the 3.1.2 restore file so i could downgrade it. and wen i went to do that it sed it wasnt compatiable. i downloaded the rite file. anyone no how to help with this. i got the iopod touch 3rd gen 8gb with 3.1.3 on it.

  1319. wow it only took me 30 seconds to jailbrake, ps if your model starts with MB it will work, if it starts with MC it wont. i really recommened it

  1320. wow it only took me 30 seconds to jailbrake, ps if your model starts with MB it will work, if it starts with MC it wont. i really recommened it

    1. I have the iPod touch 3g 32gb as well but I still have the 3.1.2 software and blackra1n works fine except every time you turn it off, when you want to turn it on again or if you reboot it, the screen will have an iTunes icon and a USB cord pop up (basically apple’s way of trying to fight jailbreaking by trying to get them to restore your iPod but it will take a lot more than that) and you have to rejailbreak it (or “make it ra1n”) again everytime you turn it off. It doesn’t bother me that much because I just never turn it off. I just lock it and it goes into standby. However, I think doing that will deterriorate the battery a little faster. I don’t see any need for the 3.1.3 update and nor do I know how it will affect the Blackra1n jailbreak. The jailbreak is completely worth some of the slight problems with it instead of paying hundreds of dollars on apps. And by the way the MMS Flip from cydia messes up your AppStore. And I forgot to mention that the reboot problem with the jailbreak only exists on the iPod touch 3g and problably future generations.

      1. Hi, I have the same model with you but today the ipod just suddenly in restore mode. I try to jailbreak again but this time fail! :( Any idea?

      2. Ya i have the same thing and it does seem that my battery does not last long at all anymore. its really irritating actually. I have wondering what was doing it.

  1345. Blackra1n works fine, its not hard just be patient and wait until the device reboots, it IS TETHERED for Itouch 3G, dont just unplug the device if it doesnt reboot from blackra1n immediately, just wait a minute and let it load.

  1360. Blackrain only says waiting for device, can it not find it or do I have to wait longer.. it is plugged in? whats wrong…

  1369. Hello everybody,

    I’d like to know if it’s possible to jailbreak an
    iPod Touch 3g.
    If it’s possible do I have to use this program, or is there another program that I’ve to use?

    Thank You

    1. You can do it using this program, but the jailbreak will be tethered, and you will have to run blackra1n every time you turn off your iPod or restart it. Sorry bro

  1370. When i downloaded black rain it says “this application has failed to start because ASL.dll was not found. Re-installing the app may fix probelm.” reinstalling didnt help tho…. this is for windows version

    1. i am having the same problem bro is having. Every time i run it windows says “this application has failed to start because ASL.dll was not found. Re-installing the app may fix probelm.” If there is any solutions plz post.

      1. werd. it says it. i googled it and it says its itunes 9, but i don’t think it is. Can somebody help. i used blackra1n before and it worked perfectly. then my ipod touch froze two months later (ithink i downloaded something, IDK!!!) Now i restored it, but i want it jailbroken, but i don’t know why blackra1n doesn’t even install into my computer o___O. It says “this application has failed to start because ASL.dll was not found. Re-installing the app may fix probelm.” HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1371. my ipod went into recovery mode and i freaked out! found blackra1n and i officially name it EASIEST RESTORE EVER !!!!

    thank you soo much

  1374. i need help.. i recently bought i touch 8gig 3g means its MC model comes with 3.1.2 version.. – when i plugged it itunes there was 3.1.3 version so since i was new to my itouch i upgrade it. –

    question? will i able to jailbreak my itouch if i downgrade.

    will i able to restore it if something went wrong?

    when will the jailbreak for 3.1.3 will come out..

  1376. Someone please help!!!!!! I did everything right, and when I reboot, the blackra1n app isn’t anywhere! Does anyone know how to solve this/fix it?

  1377. If you get the ASL.dll error i found the solution. Search ASL.dll in the windows search, then right click open containing folder. cut and paste black rain into that “apple support” folder. then make a desktop shortcut and run black rain!!!!!!

  1378. everything went right but when i click blacrain icon in itouch i install cydia then blackrain crashes and i dont see cydia icon on ipod why?

  1379. my ipod touch 32gb 3rd generation updated itself to 3.1.3 n now when i tried to restore it to 3.1.2 it says ipod could not be restored because the firmware is not compatible. help!

    1. that happened to me too, u just downloaded the wrong version, theres one for 3rd gen and one for 2nd, i thought mines was 3rd gen but it was actually 2nd so try that.

  1380. I need help, I jailbroke my iPod already using this method.
    I just have one question: can I reboot it and still keep everything?
    I have 8gb 3.1.2 firmware 3rd gen, some people say it’ll reset. I really want to use winterboard to change theme so I need to restart.
    Please help thx :)

  1381. I’m worried if I try something like this all my songs/photos may be lost because I don’t have a pc with my music on it. I just plug it in to other peoples computers to format it. Can someone direct me to a program that can rip all my music so I can have a backup of my library saved?

  1382. hey my ipod touch is 8gig 3generation to jailbreak it will i need to down grade it and i bought it with version 3.1.3

  1383. I jailbroke my ipod touch. It all works well, except for when I switch my ipod off and then on again. Once the ipod has restarted again, it says it needs to be plugged into the usb for itunes (the same as when you first use the ipod). I ran blackrain again and it works. How can I resolve this issue so that I do not need to plug it into my computer everytime I switch it on again?
    Thank you very much.

  1385. When it says that my jailbreak is finished and to wait for it to reboot, it takes forever and when i restart the ipod myself, the blackra1n icon isnt on my ipod. :(
    help please?!

  1386. Hey everyone my ipod crashed yesterday playing epw, and it went to a white screen, after that it shut off and now it says plug into itunes.. when i do i try downloading blackra1n again, but when i do that it just gets stuck on the picture of geohot for 10 mins, then goes back to apple logo and plug into itunes, please help me, i have the 3.1.2 version im pretty sure i haven’t downloaded 3.1.3. Thanks

  1388. well i did this a while ago and when i had everything ready my ipod randomly shut off

  1391. I need help, I’m running Windows 7 32-bit. And I did everything that is explained in this post. But when I click on the program Blackrain a window pops up and says “The program can’t start because ASL.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.” How can I fix this? Of course the program opens after that, but when I click on “Make it rain” windows says that the program has stopped working. Please help :(

    I did downgrade my ipod to 3.1.2 so I think I would have no problem. It’s probably just my PC

  1392. @jessi i have the exact same problem where “The program can’t start because ASL.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.” message comes up ….then the program opens after that, but when I click on “Make it rain” windows says that the program has stopped working….except my ipod is still on the 3.1.3 firmware

  1393. so is the blackra1n link damaged/corrupt or missing files cause its pretty suspicious thats the case since the “ASL.dll is missing” error message shows up….and that shouldnt have anything to do with the firmware version being wrong since its opening up the program…

    someone help!!!

  1394. Dudess does any1 knows when the ipod ver 3.1.3 jailbrake will come out?

    1. Just do this:

      Place the Blackra1n executables in the Apple folder under Common files in Program Files. The folder would be located in the following locations:

      32 Bit – C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support

      64 Bit – C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support

      Once you copy the blackra1n executable to the above folder, create a shortcut for it on the desktop and double-click it to run it as usual.

  1506. my friend ran blackra1n as well bt i cnt figure out how to gt the moving themes lk he has in his settings does anyone know how to?

  1507. hey gabe just connect ur ipod to ur computer and run blackra1n then itll work again

  1508. you need to reconnect your ipod to your pc and run blackra1n again. dont worry, it wont wipe everything off you ipod

  1509. When I run blackra1n it says it can't start because it's missing the ASL.dll.

  1511. move the blackrain icon to Program files /common files/ apple support… Run it from there, it'll work.

  1512. i just blackrained it and it says it needs to be connected to itunes, which i did. Does this mean its rebooting or not?

  1513. No. When it says connect to iTunes, connect it to your computer and run blackra1n again. This is called a tethered jailbreak. You probably have an iPod Touch 3G

  1514. ok ittold me jail break complete and grogorians picture wont go away what do i do

  1515. ok every thing went right and then i saw George’s picture and didnt it stayed there for a really long time do i have to wait more or what

  1517. when the message comes up on the computer saying that its done i need too wait for reboot my ipod touch just stays black for ages and the picture of george never comes up to only way i can return to normal it to hold down the home and sleep button the reboot but then i dont have black ra1n!!!! what am i doing wrong???!!!

  1519. When I try to open blackra1n a file pops up saying “Unable to Locate Component”
    and below it, it says “This application has failed to start because ASL.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”

    any tips on what to do?

  1520. Wow. From reading the comments, I was expecting it to take 2 hours and potentially have a brick at the end of it. Literally 30 seconds later, I have my jailbroken iPod. Excellent software, thank you very much. :D I'm impressed.

  1525. OK so I'm not good with technology in anyway shape or form really. And I know if I tried to do this on my own I probably wouldnt do it right. So would someone like to help me with this so i do it correctly?

  1526. Good day.. how to i prevent the 'connect to itunes' message from showing each time i reboot my ipod touch?

  1527. I am getting an error message with I try to install the program. “This application has failed to start becasue ASL.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”

    Does anyone know how I can fix this?

  1529. i looked and i do not have a apple application support file. so what do i do

  1533. Dude this worked Great!! i even kept all my ,usic and apps and shit thank you!!!!!!!!!

  1534. IM GETING EXACTLY THE SAME THING!? what is this?
    geezz im getting so frustrated right now

  1536. no, but if you downgrade to 3.1.2 and jailbreak with this, than you can jailbreak 4.0 using snowbreeze, but you need to be prejailbroken on 3.1.2 first

  1538. i jail broke my ipod before and took it off, now when I try I can't find the app and my Ipod is in recovery mode

  1539. A picture of George never comes up only the itunes sign an arrow and the cord, Ive been trying for 2 hours and it doesn't work

    1. Well me I tried blackrain but it never works. So I went to jailbreakme.com on my iPod and then the cydia is on my iPod and then myvi plug in my iPod on my computer it says that to back it up so I did and then when my iPod is turned on the cydia and all the stuff I downloaded from cydia were gone and then I tried to download it again but it didn’t work

  1540. do you have to have wifi access in order to use cydia once youve downloaded it?

  1541. When you upgraded to the newest Itunes they got smart about blackrain and tried to prevent most from using it. You simply have to put blackrain in your itunes asl.dll file, there are multiple videos on how to do this. ^_^

  1543. it says i need something and it pops up and i pres make it rain but then theres an error :S

    1. Okay guys.What errors? You need to specify here. If you get the asl.dll error and then when you click make it run it says in was installed wrong, or something like that, then, first of all move Blackra1n from where it is now (usually in the download folder) to:
      1)If Vista 32-bit:
      C:Program FilesCommon FilesAppleApple Application Support…
      2)If Vista 64-bit:
      C:Program Files(x86)Common FilesAppleApple Application Support

      Post here if it worked.

      1. Okay, i have the same asl.dll error when i click on it, and yea it says “the program cant start because ASL.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem”. i reinsalled afew times, and it keeps saying this,.. i tryed puttting it on a different file thing and i think i just messed that up. but, yeah im also using windows7 so :S im really confused. please help :S

  1546. hey if you guys are getting ASL.dll error look it up on youtube on how to fix that, or google i found out that if you put blackra1n in a certain folder you won’t get that probelm

  1549. my iphone 2G is without a sim…and it shows connect to itune sign and has entered emergency mode.
    when i am trying to restore it through blackra1n is gets stuck in recovery mode. the phone is not able to reboot :(
    any suggestions

  1550. @dergy: go to C drive> program files>common files>apple>apple *** *** >cut paste ur blackra1n icon there and then create a chortcut on desktop
    this shall fix your problem

  1551. Whenever i try to download blackra1n, it stops working due to ASL, is that my ipod, computer, or the program? Is there anything i need to do?

  1552. cant shut off my ipod or it goes in to a locked mode and cant be used until i jailbreak it again does any one know why and i dont want it if i cant shut if off or let it die

    1. Whell if that ever happens hold down the power button and the get out of the game button hold them both down till it says connect to iTunes and when you do that you have to have the latest iTunes downloaded on your computer then you have to restore your iPod it really works I hade to do that for my iPod so try that next time :)

  1553. ok…. i tried it said exactly “This application has failed to start because ASL.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem… HELP PLEASE!!!!!

  1555. installed blackra1n on my windows 7 computer to my o.s 3.1.2 ipod the blackra1n icon showed up and worked perfectly fine…but turned off and later put back on it only showed the cord connected to the itunes icon..and can’t recover it on my itunes.help me

    1. Try plugging it in and clicking restore, or holding the power and home buttons together for ten seconds untill the screen goes black. the turn it on normally. whatever you do, DON”T take it to apple. They will probably take it off you and you will never see it again.

      1. Ya don’t take it to the appal store just hold them down till this thing comes up and says connect to iTunes

  1556. That’s because you probably already hade it be for then eracd it so you will have to restor your iPod that is one of the ways you will get that app and all the other ones
