How to Jailbreak/Unlock iPhone 2G/3G/3GS on 3.1.2 Blackra1n/Blacksn0w Guide
Looking to jailbreak and/or unlock your iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, or iPod Touch? You have come to the right place!
What is ‘Jailbreaking’?
Jailbreaking is a term used that refers to modifying the software on your iPhone/iPod Touch. These modifications essentially “free” your device from the device constraints and allow you to do functions such as applying custom wallpapers, changing the way the icons look, modifying text message tones, changing the device sounds, and about 1 million other things. The list is endless. The image below is an example of what you can do with a jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch:
Jailbreaking is accomplished by using programs such as ‘redsn0w’ (listed below). Once you do jailbreak however, it is not permanent. At any time you can restore your iPhone/iPod Touch to factory defaults and return the device back to ‘normal’. However until you do the restore, your device will stay jailbroken. Also, it goes without saying that this voids your warranty, but when you restore to factory defaults, the traces of jailbreaking are usually cleaned up.
If you want to know more about Jailbreaking, you can read all about it here.
What is ‘Unlocking’?
The wireless carriers in Canada, such as Rogers and Fido, put “carrier locks” on their devices. What this does is prevent you from using the device on another wireless network. For example, you cannot take a Rogers device and put a Fido SIM card into it and vice versa.
Using similar methods to jailbreaking, one can unlock their iPhone. This allows you to “free” your device and allows the user to put any SIM card into the device. For example, if you unlock your Rogers iPhone, you can now put a Fido SIM in, or AT&T or O2 or whoever.
Unlocking is accomplished by using programs such as ‘ultrasn0w’ (listed below). Once you do the unlock however, it is not permanent. At any time you can restore your iPhone to factory defaults and return the device back to ‘normal’. However until you do the restore, your device will stay unlocked. Also, it goes without saying that this voids your warranty, but when you restore to factory defaults, the traces of the unlock are usually cleaned up.

iOS 9.3.3 has been jailbroken, folks.
Pangu Shows Off First iOS 10 Beta Jailbreak
Pangu shows off first beta of iOS 10 jailbreak.
So, quick question. I've been meaning to Jailbreak for a while now but just haven't gotten around to doing it. I have a rogers plan, so, by jailbreaking, I don't need to unlock do I? Just run Blackra1n to jailbreak and I should have service still?
Nice work, X1Zero!
That is correct. You do not need to use blacksn0w to unlock.
Right
I have trouble showing user background image via Winterboard with FoxKeh winterboard theme. Any idea why and how to solve this problem? A known bug perhaps?
I have a 3.0 ultrasnow unlocked phone and jailbreaked. I was just wondering if I update to this, how do I back up my apps downloaded from cydia? Is there anyway? or I have to download everything again 🙁 ?
Alright thanks! Just might finally jailbreak now that it is easier than ever.
Use AptBackup, just download it from cydia click on buck up then connect your phone to your computer and Make a backup then when you update your phone and jailbroken it download AptBackup and click on restore and then connect your phone to your computer and you will get all your apps from cydia again.
Wow. What an incredible post. I'm not sure I'm ready to “break” my iPhone, but I'm certainly thinking about it.
C'est excellent. Merci beaucoup!
thanks a lot bro! was really bothered about this!
Nice guide dude!

WIFI issues?
For people having wifi issues, i've heard a “Reset Network Settings” fixes them
You'll enjoy the iPhone even more after is JB 🙂
WOW it didn't even took 5 seconds
that's freakin crazy
WOW! That was so easy. I have certainly learnt my lesson and any future “FW upgrades” will wait unit there is a proven JB/UL solution available. I was getting a little concerned that my perfectly functioning 3.0 JB/UL phone had been lost forever but thanks to GeoHot, I now have the most up to-date version . I hope people are making a small contribution via Paypal in recognition of his work!
Hey guys! Does lockdown works with 3.1.2??????
I have 3.0 jailbreak with ultrasnow, is there any reason to go to this version, 312?
Any real advantages? Or should I just stay put?
So does it work for ipod touch 3g 8 gig this time around? model MC without having to load blackra1n everytime u want to start ur ipod???
Dang, that went really well on my ole 2G iPhone! I can now use Remote, nice!
already jailbreak and unlock!
Certainly worth it
So does this mean I can buy an iPhone 3GS tomorrow and with the latest firmware be able to unlock it?
I need an unlocked phone.
Not necessarily.
They have also changed the boot code recently which makes the jailbreak not work. If you get a phone with the older boot code, you are fine. I am running 3.1.2 but it came with 3.0.1.. no real reason to unlock as I am on contract with Rogers for a while. There are articles on the new boot code causing issues.. quick search will find them.
Yes
Right. Keep that in mind
Man that was slick
skype over 3g works no problem
WAIT !! My iphone 3Gs is bricked! All I have after running blackrain is an iphone with colored diagonal lines on the screen and I can't even turn it off or anything!
HELP !!!
Plug into iTunes > restore
Can't. The device is not even recognized on the USB port anymore. The computer sees it as an unvalid device. Can I hard-reboot the iphone?
Put into recovery mode then plug into iTunes.
I have rebooted without going in restore mode (holding both the power and home buttons until the screen went black) and the phone rebooted OK. But blackra1n didn't work. Nothing wa done to the phone. I will try on another computer and let you know.
OK! I was able to run through blackra1n. I had to use another computer and everything looks fine now. It seems that blackra1n.exe cannot do its magic if you run a virtual machine on VMWare, as was my case. Although itunes has no problem with the USB management on VMWare, blackra1n is stumbling on the configuration. Nothing bad, I suppose. I used a second computer running WinXP (not on VMWare) and blackra1n completed the jailbreak. Fiouf!
Try holding down the Home button while you plug the USB cable into
your computer with iTunes open. That should start recovery mode.
Nice work. Bet your heart skipped a beat there eh? 😉
X1Zero didnt come up with it! GEOHOT did!
Ha! Yeah, that is obvious. I just meant, nice work on the tutorial.
Umm…obviously RoryPiper meant X1Zero's tutorial. It's very clear. 😉
My pleasure!

ANYONE HELP?!??!?!
for some reason now my phone cannot detect any data network… is this maybe because bells system went up today? if anyone can help it would be appreciated, thank you..

PLEASE HELP! it recognizes my sim card and i can make and receive calls but NO DATA receiving or sending not on bells data network or my home wifi. why is this happeneing? it was working all fine up until about an hour ago.
Try a reboot, if that fails restore and jailbreak again.
I have followed the instruction above for 2g iphone. But i did not see an option for sn0w to unlock it. on ly Cydia and Rock. Can anyone please tell me what wrong with my phone? Thanks
I've followed the instruction above for my 2g iphone. but after running blackrain I did not see an option for sn0w. only shows Cydia and Rock. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong? Thanks
when i put in a tmobile sim card it tells me to connect to itunes and when i do that it tells me the sim is unsupported, so i just rolled it back to 3.0 unlocked it using redsn0w, now im going to up grade it 3.0.1 then unlock it uning redsn0w then upgrade it to 3.1.2 then run blackra1n to jailbreak it and according to what ive read it should keep unlock and jail break with blackra1n…well see
i did. forgot to backup my photo roll too. ouch. after restoring and re-jailing it and then unlocking it it worked fine. i didn't install cydia right away but soon after i did the wifi stopped working again. ridiculous.

previous backup then.
Just did it. Wow, that was just waaaaaay too simple. 🙂
