Jailbreaking 3.1.2
     I have noticed that many people are having trouble using blackra1n to jailbreak their device that is running on OS 3.1.2. Here is a in-depth guide on how I and many others have gotten blackra1n to work.

Step 1
Make sure you have the latest iTunes version, and your device is running on 3.1.2 (iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS). Also, this is Windows only. No Mac jailbreak has been released that I know of. I am also not sure if this works for the iPod Touch. If anyone has tried with an iPod Touch, please leave a comment saying which iPod Touch you are using and whether it worked or not.

Step 2
Download blackra1n.

Step 3
Unplug your device if it is plugged in, but have your USB cord ready to go into your device. Also close anything related to Apple (ctrl-alt-delete, then click the processes tab).

Step 4
Run blackra1n via command prompt (Start>Run…>Browse).

Step 5
Blackra1n should now say “waiting for phone.” Hold the sleep and home button on your device until the Apple logo appears. THEN immediatly plug your device into your computer.

Step 5
Let blackra1n do its work. Within a few minutes your device should have a picture of geohot and a couple iPhones, just wait from here.

Step 6
It should reboot your device when it has finished. Congragulations! Your device is jailbroken! But how do you get Cydia, Icy, or Rock? Keep reading.

Step 7
There should be a new icon on one of your device’s pages called blackra1n. Open it, select the programs you wish to install and install them. Your device should respring. THEN your done!

Thanks for reading and leave a comment if you have any problems.

When that shows up it has finished everything. It should restart automatically. If it doesn't, try holding the sleep and home button until you see the Apple logo. Then it should reboot and your done. Comment if you have any further problems. Also, if this works can you tell me what kind of iPod touch you have so I can confirm which iPods work? Thanks.
