blackra1n for Mac Download Now Available!

by iPhone Fan on October 13th, 2009

Last week we finally saw the anticipated release of blackra1n, the all in one jailbreak for all iPhones and iPod Touches. Well, as promised by GeoHot, he has finally made a Mac version of blackra1n and it is now available for download.

If you’re a PC user, you probably read Rory Piper’s tutorial on blackra1n for PC. Anyways, are you on 3.0.1 or 3.0? Do not update directly to 3.1.2 in iTunes or you’ll lose your “unlock”. Use PwnageTool 3.1.4 to safely update to 3.1.2 firmware without updating your baseband.

I will be using PwnageTool 3.1.4 to update my iPhone to 3.1.2 firmware as I want to preserve the unlockable baseband on my iPhone 3GS. However, if you have no need to unlock your iPhone, and just want to jailbreak 3.1.2, blackra1n is your solution.

    This jailbreak is so fast on a Mac. From clicking the download link, to opening Cydia, it must have been about 2 to 3 minutes.

    Been playing with this a bit tonight. I just posted this over at Green Candy:

    "I have now tested this on an iPod Touch 2g and an iPhone 3G. I have found that on my iMac 7,1 it works with no issues. I tried it on my MacBook 5,1 and it just hung at “Entering Recovering Mode”, and then balckra1n became non-responsive. Not sure what the issue is, between these 2 Macs. This is just my experience, so far."
  • Nice! I need to give this a try to see how fast this JB really is. Time to
    install Windows on my Mac? :P
  • Dusty
    Do it! Make sure its Windows 7 :P

    I'm running Windows 7 on my MacBook, and it's pretty slick. You can't get the official beta anymore, but maybe you can think of another way to get it? ;)

    Lucky for Mac users ;)

    on my 3gs blackra1n installed easily enough. Let's me download apps ok. Winterboard isn't working. Categories let's me make categories but doesn't remove the apps from the "desktop" but they do show up in folders.

    My winterboard isn't working either on my 3G
  • Steve
    Nevermind, my winterboard STARTED WORKING. All I did was updated a bunch of packages (packages OTHER than winterboard included) then did a soft restart upon exit of ROCK and it works :)
