Geohot finally released their long awaited jailbreak tool: the blackra1n. It is compatible with all iPhones (Classic, 3G and 3G) and all iPods touch (1G, 2G and 3G) with firmware 3.1.2 or lower.

However, there is some information that should be considered before you consider using the blackra1n. They are:

- The tool does the jailbreak, but not activation. If your iPhone is locked at the factory, do not use blackra1n under any circumstances, otherwise you will turn your phone off. iPhones factory unlocked or purchased in Brazil by some operators can jailbreak quietly, since the activation is done through iTunes.

- So far only been released a version of blackra1n for Windows. There is still no version for Mac

- This tool does not perform the unlock (unlock). So if you use the ultrasn0w you should not upgrade to firmware 3.1.2 through iTunes, otherwise your phone will get no signal. Wait, so now, the Dev-Team must provide a new PwnageTool.

- Remember that OS 3.1.2 updates the baseband to 05.11.07. And there is still no release for it.

- The iPod touch 3G, jailbreaking is "temporary." If you restart or turn off your iPod, you will lose the jailbreak.

Please reread the above information to avoid future problems. After that, you can follow the tutorial below that teaches step by step how to use blackra1n.

- First of all, download the blackra1n here

- Connect your device to your computer via USB.

- Run the file you downloaded blackra1n.exe. The following window will appear below:

- Click the button make it ra1n. At this time your iPhone goes into Recovery Mode (Recovery Mode). A black screen image showing the USB cable and iTunes icon should appear.

- Wait a while until the process is complete. Photo of Geohot will appear on the screen of your device, then your SpringBoard will appear normally, done that, search for your iPhone and open it blackra1n. Its icon is a black drop, check below:

- You can now choose between Cydia and Icy Rock to install.

- Okay, after you have installed Cydia, Icy Rock or you can uninstall blackra1n if you want (the icon will only get rid of it).

Important considerations:

Are occurring where blackra1n is not working correctly, we advise not to make unnecessary a second restoration, Geohot certainly take note of these failures and is likely to launch an update to blackra1n.

Also we only recommend doing this procedure, those who already have some knowledge to jailbreak if you have never done, wait for a more detailed tutorial, not to have problems, do so at your own risk, and aware of the risk.
