  • yuhey i wanted to ask u that blackra1n doesnt work for me i want to activate my iphone 3g but the picture of the man doesnt comeee and it doesnt reeboot !! pls tell me wat to do

  • @TheSupaTube

    WHOA WHOA WHOA that was long ago. I found a way just other way than this one.

    You know the pop-up redsn0w and IPSW file, right? You can do that without iTunes. LITERALLY.

    Connect iPhone then click redsn0w then browse file for IPSW file then click iPad Baseband and whatever you need including Cydia then click next then

    you TURN OFF your iPhone then do the process like pressing buttons then pray that it works on your iPhone.

    Your good to go! OH, put URL from ultrasn0w too

  • i clicked on 'blackra1n.exe' from download tab then it appears with problems saying that i dont have ASL.dl so what do i do? I couldnt hackivate it.

  • Whenever i put in my SIM card, it goes back like normal, like i didn't even use blackra1n...help?

  • Any help? Mine stuck at 0:26 on the screen that have a USB and iTunes.

  • I cant install the blackra!n program.. it says its a trojan virus attached with it ??

  • Thanks but i cant get any signal

  • it is now compatible with win32

  • nice way

  • finally a clear, easy to follow video, thank you so much, worked on my 2g with minor mods

  • If you are looking to unlock your iphone

    their program is easy and fast

  • Hey there, this happened exactly a year ago, I accidently upgraded my iphone 2g's OS to 3.1.2 using itunes ( got the iphone frm the states bt i live in new zealand) and became unlocked again. Now i cant use it , is there a way to unlock it? I've used blackrain but still doesnt work for me.

  • @emoboi10 black rain is only the jailbreak.  Did you use ultrasn0w after to unlock it?

  • Comment removed

  • @MtnXfreeride Oh and my modem Firmware is 04.05.04_g, I read somewhere that its not possible to unlock that modem firmware with ultrasnow

  • @MtnXfreeride can i use limera1n to hactivate my iphone 3g??? i used redsn0w to deactivate it but wont work... plz help... right now im on 4.1!!

  • I've done all of this but my iPhone 3G (3.1.2) doesnt have wifi for some reason

    I have the network all set up and everything but no networks show up when I search for it and I have no idea what to do :/

  • Just found an iPhone yeah and it says no signal, will this make it work?

  • is there something similar to for iphone 2g

  • Will thos work for any network? I'm in the Rep of Ireland. I have a Vodafon sim and want to use with the iPhone which is O2

  • @JackDooner should, I went to england this summer and popped in a "Talk Mobile" card and it was connected to O2 towers the whole time, with data.

  • the Sn0w installer is no appearing together with "Cydia" and "Rock". Therefore, my carrier is not unlocked. My iPhone is a 2G one. Do you have any idea on how to solve this? Thanks!

  • I unlocked my iphone using unlockiphonenow org

    Unlocking iphone never been so easy

    It worked, I recommend it

  • @pamelarise69 unlockiphonenow org worked for me too

    Now my iPhone is fully unlocked and i can use any network Thanks

  • @lindanash96 THIS GUY IS JUST POSTING THIS ANSWER TO EVERY VIDEO ABOUT IPHONE, FOR ADVERTISEMEN OR SOMETHING...

  • This Works! Follow it step by step and it will work. Make sure your iphone is on version 3.1.2 if it is not, you can always download the 3.1.2 firmware and restore from that before starting this process. I just unlocked an iphone 3g for my wife who has tmobile and it works flawlessly!

  • unlock-iphone org helped me finally to unlocked my 3g iphone last version

    thanks ,greate support i recommend them

  • @1mrjojo Yes you can.

  • after i install blacksnow i go to install snow..then after that i put in my tmobile sim card n nothin happens

  • if it waiting to reboot and doesn't, you have to restore back to 3.1.2 firmware, by putting the iPhone back in recovery mode.

  • how do u download apps on an iphone 3gs jail-broken using Blackra1n?

  • i have the same problem. im currently stuck on the 'connect to itunes screen and emergency calls only". i have an iphone 2G . basically so all i need to do is download blackra1n and connect to itunes and let blackra1n do its thing and ill be able to use my tmobile sim card and use my iphone regularly?

  • so is hacktivating getting an iphone with no contract u can hook it up to a carrier with a sim free? some one please reply im considering doing this but i need to buy an iphone and sim first i have no att or tmobile im on verizon and there CDMA not GSM

  • @BPaTsFaN12 Not quite. When you buy an iphone, you connect to itunes, but then you need to select your contract. Hacktivating allows you to skip contracts. That way, you can then download unlock software.

  • @ZebraWarrior506

    Yeah, Lots of new features for the 4g such as a component that appeared to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation

    Alot of people Reading this comment will not be able to purchase Apples latest iPhone, it's just going to be so pricey

    Your in luck I realized on the Apple FB Fan Page Saturday they are giving away a ton of iphone 4gs. Oh and, heres the link to their contest website ... just copy and paste

    shortener。org/60679

    Use this code on page 2 FACEBOOK3420

  • this does not work. every time i make it rain it says your jailbreak has been done wait for it to reboot but it never reboots

  • @tinimanproduction1 it does not work *for you* this is for 3.1.2 firmware, you probably are using 3.1.3.

  • @MtnXfreeride no I am on 3.1.2 it worked but now I get the no service in the top left. I have a rogers 3G 8gb and I want to make it work with Telus and I can not figure out why it will not give me service. Any ideas?

  • @tinimanproduction1 only thing I can think of is you havent installed blacksn0w right or maybe need to reset network settings? On my second iphone I went through trying everything and then realized I was forgetting to put blacksn0w on.

  • I unlocked my iphone using

    unlock-iphone org

    They provided me with live support , images with step? by step instructions and was really easy , i recommend

  • this is amazing!! but this only works if the iphone is 3.1.2...  I have NO idea what firmware is on my iphone, so I'm afraid of messing it up. Is there another way to hacktivate it? Or maybe a way to get through the lock screen and figure out what firmware is on my iphone?

  • This is so easy but my phone is stuck on the Connect to iTunes or Emergency Call screen...even after i download blackra1n. the screen doesnt show the apple symbol either its just blank.

  • THANKS!

  • would blacksn0w work with an iPod touch without the phone part? i had a tethered jailbreak but i had to update it which got rid of blackra1n. please respond.

  • So you never had a SIM card in it when it was hacked? I wanted to buy the 3gs to use for GPS and calling without contract. So much cheaper to just buy it and hacktivate it. Please respond back ASAP.

  • @if7084 but what is the point of GPS if the maps arent stored in it? They download as needed for every GPS app I have used.

    But no you do not need a SIM for any part of this.

  • does anyone know if its possible to put a credit sim card into a bill paid iphone?

  • @2007Gero2007 It might work.. I know you can put a T-mobile prepaid SIM card into a jailbroken iphone and have service <-- no internet though.

  • i install blacks0w on my 8gb ipod touch bt now it dosent turn on can u help me plz

  • i install blacks0wn on my 8gb ipod touch n it dosnt turn on .kan u help me plz ...

  • hey ca anyone tell me the name of the song in this video, plus mine is still stuck on running and its not as fast as your reboot

  • @ravenrana M83 - Graveyard Girl

    As far as the problem, I know someone has been going through on the comments of this video and helping people, maybe you will get some help soon. I didnt have this happen so I dont know what to say.. sorry. But worst case scenario is that iphone OS 4.0 should be out soon and I am certain it will be hacked quickly.

  • hey can anyone tell me the name of the song playing in the back

  • dude just explain to me whats the difference between jailbreak and hacktivation... im really confused between those 2... ty

  • @adhamns Jailbreak allows you to install non apple approved apps. Hacktivate is just activating the phone - if you have T-mobile or no SIM at all you need to be activated to get past the lock screen. Hacktivating tricks the phone to thinking it has been activated by AT&T.

  • @MtnXfreeride thanks dude , im now jailbroken on 3.1.2 and unlock , but still tethered got MC model

  • @MtnXfreeride I WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE FROM MY SCHOOL THAT EVERYTIME YOU RESTORE YOUR IPHONE WITH THE AT&T SIM YOU HAVE TO PAY 20$ TO ACTIVATE THE IPHONE IS THIS TRUE?

  • @MrLaTtEa Hell the fuck no. if that was the case i would have payed att hundreds for activation.

  • @12justanotherperson3 Alright thats what i thought b/c the kid that told me that thought that you got cydia off the app store lol but i was just making sure b/c im going to get an iphone next week

  • hey dude my iphone 3gs on 3.1.2 firmware MC model with 05.11.07 how to , jailbreak ?!

  • cool

  • will this work with telstra

  • what do i do when ever i use bootneuter restart it and it says connect to i tunes and when i do it says it dosent recognize the sim but it says t-mobile for the service,,, i need help!!!

  • aweome bro...very helpful !

  • thanks worked for me, you have to update to 3.1.2 otherwise it won't work, it will just stay at the silver apple, what you do after is you update it throught itunes PNU mode and just follow the above instructions. also if you run into that plug into itunes logo to activate the iphone, just follow the instructions above and unlock it and it will activate after it installs....i have a 2g iphone.

  • Hey does Optus-Sim works on Jailbroken Iphone 3G thank...

  • @ErhanERDEM no idea, youll have to look up what optus-sim uses for frequencys and see if their 3g matches with AT&T.  T-mobile for example will never work with 3g on an iphone 3g.

  • that picture didnt show up on my iphone 3g. why?

  • same :S

  • im buying an iphone from my friend and i just wana use it as an itouch but its not activated so do i still need to activate it to use it as an itouch?

  • @ShadowBmx1995 you will need to jailbreak and hacktivate the iphone to turn it into an ipod, and you will then have to unlock it if you ever want to use as a phone...

  • If your friend updated to firmware 3.1.3 it may not be to easy to do.. so it might be a paperweight until OS4.0 is released.. but it wont be to far from now.. its still worth the investment. The iphones are much better built then ipod touches.

  • oh my gosh. i'm sucha noob i spent hours tryna figure this stuff out.. and this did it in an instant. thank you!

  • wat about wifi it doesnt work....when you get a chance pm me some solutions

  • i have a 2g iphone, and 3.1.2 firmware. and i ive gotten to the point where i need to run blackra1n. it says i need wifi. i dont know why but my iphone has never gotten wifi. it doesnt search forever, it just cant find the network. and my sister's itouch gets wifi. so i dont know wat to do.

  • Quick question, what is the best way to upgrade to 3.1.2 for this to work? Do I use the iTunes upgrade or do I do the 'Shift' restore option on iTunes? THANKS!!!!!

  • Mine is stuck at ''Running.....''

  • @herojohan88

    same here

  • this is the best jailbreaking and unlocking vid i've ever seen , honstley , :)

  • You still need a sim card to use it as a phone, no sim card will turn the iphone into an ipod touch. THe phone number is attached to the SIM card.

  • ive done this 100 times and stil get no service. Im using an 8gig 3g iphone on 3.1.2 firmware and 5.11.07 BB, and nothing...all i see is ppl using 3.1.3 failing, because it doesnt work, but everyone that is using the same thing as me is sucessful...except me..wtf?

  • @twiztidwickid I am having the same problem, when I put my t-mobile sim in it tells me invalid sim, did you ever figure it out?

  • did u sort it in the end? and how

  • when i do this, i dont get the face. it just shows a black screen and when it says the jailbreak is finished, my iphone doesnt reboot. PLZ HELP

  • My iphone 3G is fucking shit

    what do i do

    I dont have wi-fi is greyet and My Iphone is locked. also i cant use simcard

  • btw, after i jailbroke it using these steps in your video, i only had cydia, there was no blackra1n app... o-o

  • well that makes no sense because the download on blackra1n is only blackrain, you have to download cydia separately once blackra1n is installed.

  • my baseband is 5.12.01 can i unlock my iphone 3g? its 3.1.2 already jailbroken and hacktivated .

  • because it was already jailbroken, I dont think you can use blackra1n without restoring (which is no longer possible since 3.1.3 is out) Thats why cydia was there after, blackra1n probably did nothing.

  • but how do u know if it works ?

  • icon appears on the ipod/iphone called blackra1n, where you can get to the goodies.

  • if it is 3.1 you may as well upgrade since 3.1.2 has more features and the jailbreak is out.

  • hey

    im i phone is on versoin 3.1.3

    will this still work

    cuz i tried it and i then put my vodafone sim card

    but it stay no supported

    plz head

  • i did everything

    is there anything could have done wrong

    please reply

  • how old is your iphone? the brand new ones (and ipods in particular) havent been working for people because of a new "iboot". Thats why people are bugging geohot for an untethered JB.

  • when u said i have to put my sim in

    did u put tmobile in?

  • you can put the SIM in at any time, I just forgot when doing the video. You can have the t-mo sim in before you even start BlackRa1n.

  • ohh

    i gave it back to my friend to activate

    if its already activated on his computer will i have to do this to sync it to mine?

    thanks

  • hey, when i install blacksnow i dont get service :-( i put in my T-mobile card and nothing, no service, i try restart and turn off 3G but nothing, what should i do?

  • Thnxxxxxxxxxxxxxx saved my iphone:)))

  • I did this, and I put my T-Mobile sim card in there. It's worked before, but I fucked up my phone by trying to update it (NEVER UPDATE IT)

    Now that I used BlackRa1n on my iphone, it's just giving me 1 bar and no T-mobile logo or anything near the signal bars. should i just wait or what?

  • Hi i jailbroke my iphone and restarted it on my phone and now it wont turn on can anyone plz help?

  • did you have to buy the at and t contract to get the iphone

  • i bought it off ebay, no contract. and T-mobile is cheaper for me because Im grandfathered into the fav5 with unlimited internet and texting for $60/month.

  • did you have to buy at and t contract to get the iphone

  • did you have to buy the at&t contract to get the phone out of the store?

  • Omg this Worked real good!!!

  • do you have to buy the at&t sim card to get the iphone

  • hey i tried to jilbreaking and hactivate but it still says that a i need a valid sim card i used blackr1n.

    Wht should i do? Thanks

  • i dont have sim is there any way i can still use the iphone as a camera and ipod.? pleasehelp

  • yes, you can use blackra1n without a SIM at all.. My brother uses his as an ipod/PDA with no SIM card. Sorry it took long to respond!

  • so after i run blackra1n on an iphone that needs activation, all i need to do is put a sim card in?

    does it matter what sim card needs to be put in?

    i accidently restored my iphone and i'm hoping i didn't lose money!

  • what exactly does this do anyway ive heard a bunch about it

  • well, it lets me use my t-mobile SIM card in the iphone, copy downloaded apps to the phone (without buying), change the iphone theme to something less boring, and add programs that apple didnt approve (google voice)

  • this fuction with ipod touch 2 generation and with all the world-wide networks of telephone so that I travel much and change sim and I finish much buying iphone and ipod and not been able to put it to work

  • Ok i restored it again n downloaded the blackra1n n still the same wat should i do man thnx for helping :)

  • have you had any luck connecting to wifi? You do have wifi at your home right? Whats stopping you from connecting to wifi (does it not see any networks, will it not connect to a network it sees)? You cannot go any farther until you get it connected to wifi for internet.

  • Hey man thanks for da video i did the same as u did but when i go on the black rain app in my iphone 3g n i press on it it says please check your internet connection i restart the phone n still the same any ideas ? thnx again

  • you did reset network settings and then restart? It says that because you aren't online. If resetting network settings does not work I would probably try restoring and doing blackra1n again. Good luck!

  • Okay I've tried this on my friend's iPhone. But the phone is just stuck on the recovery mode screen (i.e the iTunes and USB cable logo) and on blackra1n it says WAITING FOR DEVICE. I did NOT enter recovery mode when restoring to the original firmware..is that the issue? or is the issue that I should keep iTunes running?

  • how old is his iphone? You want to run blackra1n with a fresh restore of 3.1.2, it doesnt matter how you restore, as long as it is a fresh 3.1.2.

  • Heye dude.. looks like youtube killed my last message.. noob question but how do you update the firmware on an orignal iPhone 2g? Thanks!

  • Well, press and hold both the power and home button until it turns off, keep holding both buttons until the apple logo appears. When the apple logo appears let go of the power but keep holding the home button. This puts it in recovery mode and itunes will then make you restore (and update in the process) when you plug it into the computer.

  • Hey dude..

    I've been toying with the idea of buying a second hand iPhone, one thing i was curious of though is before i jailbreak how do i update to the latest firmware? Thanks dude!

  • update firmware by plugging it into itunes, it automatically bugs to update. If it doesnt you need to put the phone in recovery mode which takes 20 seconds.. hold power+hold until you see an apple logo, then let go of power but keep holding hold. Done..

  • will it work with vodafone?

  • is vodafone GSM and use SIM cards? If so it should work fine.

  • how much it take to rebot when we istall the snow preogram?

  • suppose... say a japanese iphone

    then i bring it to india

    then i try this thing

    is it going to work?

    will it work in japan or india or anywhere besides wherever you are?

  • I could NOT find the PUSH FIX in the source you gave us in the description...

    Do you know any other source or fixes for push and youtube?

  • The blackra1n works for me, but unlocking with snow gives no effect. I just get back to restore mode after I reboot it.

  • I had this issue on a computer ~15 tries had the same issue. I tried once on another computer and blackra1n worked.

  • I dont understand really what blacksn0w is doing?

  • blacksn0w is the unlock, lets you use t-mobile or other gsm sim cards.

  • ive done this entire process but it cant find the carrier even after i put my sim in it. i dont want to unlock the phone though; i have att i want to avoid the data package

  • I think you have been blocked... ATT knows if you put a sim in and dont have the iphone data plan. I would put the sim in another phone and see if it is blocked or not. A friend of mine had his account suspended for 3 days for putting his sim in an ipohone w/out data plan.

  • you save my life dude...

    tnks 5 star video =) :D ;)

  • was the video done with a 3g or 2g?

  • 3g here, but I later did the exact same process to my 2g before selling it.

  • OMG you saved me, i thought i was never gonna be able to activate without an att sim, but i did it with my tmobile sim thanks to you. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

  • do i need to have my pc connected to the internet before clicking "make it rain"?

  • nope, doesnt matter.

  • I unlocked my iphone using iphoneunlatch . com there software is heavy and takes some time to download but it work great finally.

  • i unlocked my iphone for FREE using unlockyouriphone. net , really easy and it really works

  • jairzhino- if you are going to stick with your orig carrier you dont have to unlock, still jailbreak it though, yes you will get loads of 3rd party apps free, free app store apps, download new realease movies straight from device, add themes live clock/weather and so much more!

  • Here is my situation: Im going to pay the full retail price of $599 to Atnt, and get the iphone 3GS 16GB. But im not going to activate the phone with Atnt sim card, as im using TMobile. So given this situation, if i follow the steps mentioned in your video, will i be able to use the BRAND NEW PHONE with my TMobile sim?

  • yes, however you should save yourself some money and get it off ebay. Also, keep in mind you will only have edge speed internet on t-mobile towers. Its not possible to use an AT&T phone on T-mobile's 3G towers.

  • aaaah HELP I did it like ur video it said ur iphone is jailbroken etc. the i still had connect to iphone screen and on the blackrain it said wait for reboot bu it diidnt reboot so i disconnected it and now i cant turn on the iphone it shows a black screen its is detected in itunes but i can see anything on the phone

  • hey, have you fixed your iphone yet? what didi you do?

  • i cant install cydia or anything from Blackra1n because its saying (please check your internet conectin.) but i am connected i did everything reset the network and so on still it is not working what should i do plz help me.

  • MY iphone is jailbroken, but no matter how fast i reactivate wifi the tmobile sim will not let the iphone work... it warns me the wrong sim is inserted.

    If i put the sim in where you do in the Video, i cant even load black rain...

    3.1.2 (7D11) software.

    Any help appreciated :)

  • I had this problem with my 2G, I restored it over and over and ran blackra1n and the phone would stay locked (it will not hacktivate) Basically, all I did to fix is was try from a different computer and it worked first time. I would restore it and try blackra1n from a diff. computer.

  • @MtnXfreeride I have tried 3 computers so far, one mac and 2 windows. I think the phone is hactivated as it needs no sim to navigate the menus, is that what hactivation does? If your sure another pc will do the trick ill dual boot windows on one of my machines... I cant see how thats a problem though tbh... wierd...

  • No, you are right then, I thought you couldn't navigate (to open blackra1n). I guess i dont know what to recommend at this point. You are hactivated.. something else is going wrong.

  • The data plan isn't included right

  • nope, but data plans are much cheaper on t-mobile if you tell them you have a crappy phone that can only handle their "web2go" ($9.99/mo or 19.99/mo with unlimited texting ($5/mo really)).

  • i have at&t i just dont want to register and get the data plan so ima go with this thanks

  • thank you!!!!! worked like a charm!!!

  • MtnXfreeride,

    Thank you for the video. You did a great job.

    - I have an iphone 3gs, version 3.1.2 (7D11) and modem firmware 05.11.07

    - I have one more year with AT&T, use their simcard, and their data plan. Not text messages plan Since I am using Google voice for that.

    But my question is: how will benefit me to jailbreak the phone and unlock it, if I use AT&T as my carrier?

    - If I just jailbreak, I will have access to new apps, phone tethering anything else?

    My honest thanks in advance,

  • Okay, so I previously had a jailbroken and unlocked iPhone 3G on 3.0.1 firmware. I updated to the 3.1.2, then followed the steps in the video to jailbreak/unlock. Everything works great, however, when I try and sync my music and cracked applications that i had previously gotten off installous, they don't sync!! Help please!! Itunes goes through the whole syncing process and it goes thorugh "installing" each application but when it's done, no apps on my phone. aaahh HELP please!!!!

  • the syncing of cracked apps has changed a bit since then. There is an app you need to install on the iphone, and I dont think its called installous anymore. You should google "Transfer cracked apps to iphone 3.1.2"

  • sweet i got it working thanks :D

  • you need appsync 3.1 just like you needed appsync 3.0 on 3.0.1 firmware!

  • Fake softwares can damage your iphone. Jailbreak/Unlock all version iphone 3g,3gs, and ipod easy way. I use iphoneunlatch . com
