Today the iPhone 3.1.2 update was released to iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPod Touch usres. This update includes mainly bug fixes. If you would like to jailbreak or unlock your device, you must read this.

How to Jailbreak iPhone 3.1.2
1. Update to iPhone 3.1.2. After updating, find your iPhone 3.1.2 IPSW file or download it using any of the links below. Remember, don’t use Safari to download. Safari can’t download .IPSW files properly, use a different browser!

Unlock iPhone 3.1.2
It’s possible to unlock iPhone 3.1.2 but only if your baseband has not been updated to 05.11.07 or the newer baseband, you must create a custom firmware that uses the 04.26.08 baseband. The iPhone 3.1.2 update updates the baseband to a newer one that permanently blocks the software unlock. A guide on how to unlock iPhone 3.1.2 will be up once a jailbreak tool is released.

i had a same problem my 3GS 32GB after jailbreak and unlock, but after restart need to be conneted to itunes??
louis,install cydia(1st option) and snow(3rd option) as well as snow from clicking on blackrain icon in your iphone after jailbreaking.that should fix your problem
Voila! worked like charm.
Hi, I just bought a brand new iPhone 3G S 32GB and did Blackra1n and Blacksn0w but every time I turn it off and on again, it is in recovery mode!?! I have done the install several times now and always the same result. Is this a new protective measure by Apple??? Any advise of how to jailbreak and unlock it (Version build: 3.1.2 – 7D11, Model: MC133NF, Modem firmware 05.11.07). Any advise highly appreciated – Caroline :-)))
Yes, it’s new bootrom. There no solution by now, as soon as I know.
pls DTS lets us know when there is a solution foe this bootrom problem.thank you
you have to again use blackrain after each restart to return to proper functions also if ur having nay issues with wifi or network reset all settings and restart again – again of course running balckrain once more to exit recovery mode, I had all these same issues and this fixed them all :-)
with your iphone pluged into the computer, just run the blackrain exe. again. It should boot right up.
Just have to rerun blackra1n cuz it’s tethered
i am facing the same problem like u. my 3G 3.1.2 has no problem on 3gs has this problem.
i have the same problem with my 3gs 32gb, i did the blackrain several times and still didnt work, but it did work with 3gs 16gb same same version and firmware… so i guess its just the 3GS 32gb that gives the problems, but hopefully the guy that did black rain will resolve the problem…
wow. that was almost seemingly too easy. i loved the simplicity of it. and, it worked faster than anything ive ever seen. i have the original ipod touch so ive been at this awhile. i had to check the directions twice to make sure that it was really done. blackrain kicks butt!
I forgot my phone unlocking code and i mistakenly locked it and iphone was disabled..I jailbreak it and unlock it…Now,i upgraded my iphone 3G 3.0 with itunes 9 and now it says,activate with original sim without pin…Please,what do i do?tell me…
