How to purplera1n iphone 3GS

Only 15 minutes ago I finally got my Iphone 3GS, and the first thing i did with it, it was the jailbrake. I decided to do it with purplera1n since it was the first software to do it, and i wanted to try something different them a dev-team tool. I did download it from their website, as an exe file so there is no need to extract anything.

The purplera1n user interface is very simple, just only one button names “make it ra1n”. The software comes with no documentation at all, but dont worry because you wont need it. All you have to do is to connect the iphone 3gs to the USB port of your PC and click the “make it ra1n” button. The software first will detect the phone and see if it is an iphone 3gs, and within 5 seconds it will put the iphone automaticly into DFU mode (recovery mode), and you dont have to press the power and home key at all which was really cool. For less then a minute the software finished and the device will be restarted. I really was impressed, it was so fast and clean, no boring wizards and messages on the screen, everything was so perfect and easy. Everyone who can handle a mouse, can jailbrake the iphone 3gs. No problems at all, and here is my purplera1n log file:

When the device got restarted, i could not see cydia on my iphone screen, but dont panic. First connect the device to a WiFi hotspot (or you can use the carrier’s internet) and you will see a new icon blank icon named freeze. Open freeze from your iphone and click on Install Cydia button (but make sure that you are connected as i said). Within few minutes depending on the internet speed and cydia server speed, cydia will be downloaded, unpacked and then installed on your iphone, and you will see finished on the screen.

But still no cydia icon wont show up on the screen, because you have to restart once again the iphone by holding the power button and slide the bar when it will show up on the screen. After restart cydia icon will be visible and you can run it by touching its icon.

Once you get cydia, if your iphone is locked, you can also unlock it thanks to ultrasn0w, and the procedure is the same as in my older post for iphone 3g, and you can check it out by clicking here. The whole procedure took me less them 10 minutes, realy impressive thanks to the fast speed processor on the new iphone, which makes the device to work very fast on booting and navigating. And make sure that you turn off 3g data on your iphone, because this might make ultrasn0w not compatibile with some mobile operators. This was a problem for me, i turned the 3g off, then reinstalled ultrasn0w and rebooted the iphone, and then i got carrier network working for me.

Update 1: Huh i had to edit my post, even that jailbraking was piece of cake, the unlocking using ultrasn0w for like 1 hour was playing with me. As soon as i got the carrier working, i lost my wifi connection, my new iphone 3gs was not detecting any of wifi networks in my neighberhood. This problem is beeing coused from ultrasn0w 0.8, but dont worry i fixed it and its easy. All you have to do is to reset the Iphone (yeah i know boring but once again is the final one) by holding power and home button, and dont let them go until the iphone will get shutted down, and the apple logo apears again on the screen. Now you will have both the carrier and wifi working as they should. I hope tomorow new problems wont show up, so I wont have to update again.

Update 2 the last one :) : Now im having issues with the battery of my new iphone coused from ultran0w so i advice you to use purplesn0w instead of ultrasn0w, more information for purplesn0w can be found by clicking here.
