If you’ve been holding off on updating your iPhone to OS 3.1.2 to keep your jailbreak or carrier unlocks, blackra1n and blacksn0w are here. blackra1n is the easiest jailbreak tool ever, 2 minutes and one-click hacktivation, unlocking (blacksn0w), and enabling tethering support all in one app.

Don’t expect the fun to last forever. Apple will be trying to ruin jailbreaker’s day lby boosting the iPhone security. But for now, iPhone OS 3.1.2 and its updated 05.11.07 baseband can freed.

Download blackra1n. Install it on your Mac or PC. Connect your iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS or iPod touch. Follow the easy instructions and in less than 2 minutes blackra1n will jailbreak your iPhone. Once blackra1n is installed on your iPhone you can install Cydia, Rock and blacksn0w.

Cydia and Rock are unofficial app stores were you will find many apps Apple would not allow. Using blacksn0w you can unlock your iPhone for use on whatever GSM/UTMS carrier you prefer. Note US users only other option is T-mobile, which will only allow your iPhone to work on EDGE.

blackra1n and blacksn0w only work in tethered mode with new iPhone 3GS and iPod touch models that use a different bootloader than older models. That means the device has to be tethered to a computer with blackra1n running whenever the device is rebooted; otherwise, the jailbreak is undone on reboot. Also, blacksn0w won’t unlock the baseband on EDGE-only iPhones. For that, GeoHot blackra1n creator, recommends the BootNeuter tool. For more info see GeoHot’s blog.
