blackra1n is the latest, simplest Jailbreak tool from iPhone hacker George Hotz (Geohot) and supports all modern iPhone and iPod touch devices running the latest 3.1.2 firmware. blacksn0w is the associated Unlock utility. (Jailbreaking lets you run software not approved by Apple, like background tasks, Google Voice apps, etc. Unlocking lets you use your iPhone on other carriers, like T-Mobile US or international carriers when traveling). blackra1n makes the process faster and easier than ever before.Note: For those of you who are planning on jailbreaking your new iPhone 3GS with the updated bootrom, you should be aware that BlackRa1n supports only a tethered jailbreak. This simply means if you have to reset your phone or your battery runs out on you, you will need to connect your device to your computer and run BlackRa1n to be able to boot your iPhone.

Lets Get Started:

Preparation
First things first, before we start please be sure you are currently on the 05.11.07 baseband. If you are not, connect to iTunes and update your software to 3.1.2. Once that is done it is time to begin. You will need to go to the BlackRa1n homepage, and click on the Apple to download the proper software. You will want to save the zip file to your desktop and then double-click on it. This will then create the BlackRa1n launch icon.
The Jailbreak Process
Connect your iPhone to your computer. Once connected double-click the BlackRa1n icon to begin the process.

This new unlock tool, blacksn0w, will be released to the public on November 4th and yes, it does contain hackivation!

Something else that everyone should take a look at is a post that Hotz wrote up on his blog regarding all of the websites out there that sell unlocks and jailbreaks to people who don’t know any better. These tools that jailbreak and unlock are a simple google search away and don’t cost a penny. These people who run these sites truly are scum that are simply ripping a lot of iPhone owners off.

All we can do to help shut these sites down is to just spread the word. The more of us who are aware the better.

This comes as the 3.1 beta version for the iphone just came out to the public as an optional download, while the 3.0.1 firmware version was just released from apple to fix many bugs that were in the newest 3.0 firmware version.

The new unlock is said to work for the latest iphone versions for both 3G and 3G S iphones. As with the best unlocking solutions, the unlock will also jailbreak your iphone. Jailbreaking allows you to install 3rd party applications on your iphone via Cydia and Installer. Unlocking your iphone allows you to use it with your preferred cellular provider, instead of simply AT&T(in the US) or O2(in the UK, and some european countries). Unlocking an iphone has its major benefits, especially if you travel outside of your home country often, as you would have enormous roaming charges if you were to use the same cellphone service!
