blackra1n
Alright everyone, quick update for all you up at 1am and happen to have bought an iPod Touch 3rd Gen because they had a coupon they didn’t want to expire then realized that they really needed it to be jailbroken to write an app. geohot has release blackra1n, this is the jailbreak for EVERY SINGLE IPOD AND IPHONE RUNNING 3.1.2. It is only on Windows at the moment but hopefully it is working on migration. It is INCREDIBLY simple, you just need to download it from blackra1n.com, make sure the .exe is in the c:/ drive, plug in your ipod/iphone and run. 30 seconds later and you are done. This does not support a carrier unlock at this time so DO NOT USE IT IF YOU RELY ON HAVING YOUR PHONE UNLOCKED. Once its done its thing, open up the blackra1n app on the springboard and install Cydia. Good to go! Goodluck!
**EDIT** After a reboot during class I realized that it was a tethered jailbreak, meaning that you cannot turn it on when it is not connected directly to blackra1n.
Regards,
