Blackra1n Released

GeoHot has released his BlackRa1n jailbreak for Windows users only. 

BlackRa1n should work on all devices using OS 3.0 and up. Please note that the new iPod touch requires a tethered jailbreak. Meaning, if you let the battery die you will need to use BlackRa1n to boot it again.

Also, its important to note that BlackRa1n does not hactivate your iPhone. This means that you must be using an official Apple carrier for activation purposes.

No word yet on a Mac version.

You can download the jailbreak utility from here.

iPhone OS 3.1.2 Released

Apple on Thursday released an update to the iPhone OS, bringing it to version 3.1.2. The minor update reportedly fixes a handful of issues with the software. 

According to Apple, the update — which applies to the iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS — has the following improvements: 

  • Resolves sporadic issue that may cause iPhone to not wake from sleep
  • Resolves intermittent issue that may interrupt cellular network services until restart
  • Fixes bug that could cause occasional crash during video streaming

The update, which weighs in at over 200MB, can be downloaded through iTunes. A corresponding update for the iPod touch was also released. 

A month ago, Apple released iPhone OS 3.1, which debuted a number of new features, including a Genius recommendation system for software in the App Store. It also added ringtones from record labels, directly into the iTunes application on the phone. 

Of course the iPhone Dev Team has to have their say on 3.1.2…

WARNING! At 10.20AM PDT on October 8th 2009 Apple released the 3.1.2 version (7D11) of the iPhoneOS. 

If you care about your jailbreak and unlock, don’t update your device - 3G and 3G(S) owners should pay particular attention to this warning. 

PwnageTool and redsn0w are not yet compatible with 3.1.2 
There is no estimated release time for compatible tools (please don’t bug us about this).
