‘blackra1n’ jailbreak iPhone app is free, not blackrain

Many iPhone or iPod touch users use the blackra1n software to jailbreak. The blackra1n jailbreak app was created by geohot, and people use it to install Cydia, install iPhone themes, third party apps not available on the App Store, or unlock their iPhone. Unfortunately geohot named the program blackra1n with a “1″ in it. When people tell there friends to use “blackra1n” they will search for “blackrain”. I checked on Google and it looks like many users were searching for blackrain today since they got iPhones or iPod Touches as Christmas gifts. A search for blackrain brought up a sponsored result to a site that is charging for the blackra1n software. Do not buy it, it is free and we have a guide on how to install it here.

To jailbreak your iPhone with blackra1n view the guide here, and to jailbreak your iPod touch view the guide here. Please spell out blackra1n to your friends if you ever mention it to them, otherwise they may end up paying for it and getting scammed!

Did you recently jailbreak your Apple iPhone? You are going to want to delete the blackra1n iPhone app once you are done installing Cydia, Rock, or sn0w. To do this, just open the blackra1n iPhone app and tap on the red circle next to the “Uninstall blackra1n” button. Once you’re done tap on delete. Your iPhone or iPod touch will now respring and the blackra1n iPhone app will be uninstalled.

For those that don’t know what blackra1n is, it’s an iPhone app created by geohot that allows you to install Cydia, Rock, or unlock your iPhone to use with another carrier. People use blackra1n mainly to jailbreak/unlock and get iPhone apps that Apple wouldn’t approve in the App Store.

Jailbreak iPhone 3.12, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, or any iPod touch with blackra1n RC2

Two weeks ago, Geohot released his blackra1n iPhone 3.1.2 jailbreak. The blackra1n jailbreak software worked with all iPhones and iPod touches running on iPhone 3.1.2 firmware except for the newer 8GB iPod touch (MC models) that Apple released after the September 9 event. The blackra1n jailbreak also did not work on the newer iPhone 3GS which Apple patched the 24kpwn exploit in. blackra1n RC2 works with all iPhone and iPod touches, but the newer iPod touch and iPhone are only tethered jailbreaks. Tethered means that you will need to run blackra1n each time you reboot your iPhone or iPod touch. If you were an iPhone 3G user, you most likely had to try many different methods to get blackra1n to work. Geohot has fixed the iPhone 3G problem so blackra1n should now jailbreak without any problem.

If you already did jailbreak your iPhone or iPod touch, you don’t need to use blackra1n again.

blackra1n on Windows 7

I tried blackra1n on Windows 7, but it crashed when I first tried opening it. To get blackra1n to work on Windows 7, do the following:

1. Right-click the blackra1n icon and click properties.

2. Click the Compatibility tab.

3. Under compatibility mode click the box to enable it and select Windows XP (Service Pack 2). Click OK, and then run blackra1n.

I’ve only tried this on a Windows 7 32-bit setup, but it should work on a 64-bit setup as well.
