I jailbroke my iTouch before but my dad told me to remove it as it can literally turn your Touch/Phone into a brick D:
But I’ve done loadsa research ect, and mates have their Phones+Touches jailbroken, and it’s safe, so I DL’d Blackra1n, and ran it, but my iTouch keeps getting stuck on the black screen (BR says ‘Wait for reboot’ or something like that). This never happened before. Can anyone please help me? Thanks.

Hi Mike

It should be ok, although I cant guarantee it.

so its basically perfectly safe and wont affect ipod warranty if needed to use? (provided that ipod is restored)

Hi Mike

If you jailbreak your iPod or iPhone you can return it to its orignal state by doing a full restore via iTunes, which will wipe everything from it and the restore it from you last backup.

hey i have a ipod touch 3g i bought it on Nov. 10 2009 so its brand new. im deciding if i wanna jailbreak now or later. but i have some questions:

1. is this reversible on the touch 3g, so that the warranty could be used, or can apple find out if i had done this?

2. what are the perks of jailbreaking?

if someone could answer these i would greatly appreciate it, thanks alot

Hi Hayden

You could try a full restore and try it again, I have used it on the 2G and it worked.

didnt work for me. iphone 2g. 3.1.2 – will not jailbreak out of “connect to itunes” screen

I used this with 3.1 firmware on a 3G without any trouble. I have been using the Intelliscreen APp from RockYourPhone and have had to use blackra1n to use it with my new firmware. WOrked like a charm.

I updated my jailbroken 3.1 to 3.1.2 just to use this. It screwed up my 3g iPhone for good. Don’t use it.

blackra1n doesn’t work. I tried it on 6 phones with no luck. It just hangs when it gets to the “running” part. It even bricked one phone.

Mine keep stopping after the iTunes icon and plug appear on my phone after the initial reboot.

Any suggestions?

@SpoonmanWoS: I had the same scenario as you. Blackra1n will only jailbreak the 3.1.2 OS, so yes, you do have to upgrade first. I upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1.2 on my 3G and it worked flawlessly.

However, unlike most others, I haven’t been as lucky with blackra1n. I had to do a factory recovery 3 times after blackra1n hung each time until I gave up. I ran blackra1n on Windows Vista, and I tried running it in admin mode and with Windows XP compatibility set. Every time blackra1n got to the “starting recovery mode” screen and the phone displayed the “connect to itunes” graphic, and it got stuck there indefinitely until I unplugged.

I’m currently stuck with the stock 3.1.2 kernel until I work up the courage to try jailbreaking again or if anyone has advice as to what I can try differently.

My iPhone is currently at 3.0 as 3.1 came out then 3.1.2 quickly and I decided to wait. What’s the procedure in that case? I have no interest in unlocking, I just want a jailbroken 3.1.2 iPhone. Do I need to upgrade first and then run blackra1n?

Hi Aaron

It can be reversed if you do a complete restore your iPhone from an iPhone backup in iTunes, you will need to erase your iPhone from the settings menu first, make sure you back it up before you use it.

It should work on the 3GS although we have only tested it on the 2G and 3G running 3.1.2 so far.

I hope this helps.

2 questions.
- Is this reversible if there is a problem?
- Does it work on the 3gs w/AT&T OS ver. 3.1.2?

It worked great on my iPod Touch 2G!

Jailbreaking is awesome!

DO IT NOW!
