iPhone 3GS Jailbreaking

[Luke]

Hi

Im getting a 3GS tomorrow and have been looking into jailbreaking it, now, I understand that people are saying, you can't jailbreak it unless it's 3.0, however i was reading somewhere that "blackra1n" can do 3.1.2 (or w/e its called), is this true, and if so, are there any specific instructions? As its just an exe.

Many Thanks
Luke

yeh use blackra1n. it's piss easy, just click "make it ra1n" and it does it for you. then go onto your iphone, click on the 'blackra1n' icon and install Cydia, then uninstall the 'blackra1n' icon. easy. takes 5 mins tops.

also, blacksnow is out soon, will unluck all iphones on the latest firmware.

Yeh, was debating whether to install cyndia or icy, cyndia it is; and dont wanna unlock it, heard its harder ti update firmware etc when unlocked ;p

it's not harder to update firmware at all, you just have to wait a bit longer until that firmware is unlocked/worked around. also yeh, icy is being discontinued as ripdev (who keep run icy and keep it up to date) have given up on it, and can't be bothered with the jailbreaking community anymore - so i'd avoid that if i were you.

fair doos, about updating firmware - if i have it jailbroken (not unlocked) then all i need to do is restore, update (and providing the latest ra1n is out) jailbreak it again?

exactly. just back up your cydia apps via pkgbackup (in cydia store) then update in itunes, update to firmware, re-jailbreak, and restore the backup.

if your not bothered about loosing your cydia apps then yeh just do what you said.
