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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
@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.
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.
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.
It's true hear Apple remotely shut off the leaked phone and they couldnt turn it on
The majority of ppl viewing this vid simply can't afford Apples latest iPhone, since it will be $489

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.
@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 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?
@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
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!!!
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.
@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.
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.
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!!!!!
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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?
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.
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..
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.
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!!!
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
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...
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.
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)).
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"
it is not working blackra1says waiting for device where as device (iphone) is all ready connected

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

btw, after i jailbroke it using these steps in your video, i only had cydia, there was no blackra1n app... o-o
adkgj1098 2 years ago
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 .
adkgj1098 2 years ago
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.
MtnXfreeride 2 years ago
but how do u know if it works ?
davidkid2k9 2 years ago
icon appears on the ipod/iphone called blackra1n, where you can get to the goodies.
MtnXfreeride 2 years ago
if it is 3.1 you may as well upgrade since 3.1.2 has more features and the jailbreak is out.

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?
Yellowzigs 2 years ago
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.
MtnXfreeride 2 years ago
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?

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!
MtnXfreeride 2 years ago
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!

aliakon4 2 years ago
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.
MtnXfreeride 2 years ago
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
aliakon4 2 years ago
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!
MtnXfreeride 2 years ago
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?
kparwani123 2 years ago
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.
MtnXfreeride 2 years ago
Heye dude.. looks like youtube killed my last message.. noob question but how do you update the firmware on an orignal iPhone 2g? Thanks!
Everyclouddan 2 years ago
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.
MtnXfreeride 2 years ago
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!
Everyclouddan 2 years ago
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..

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
swaheed212 2 years ago
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.

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?
arunnavo 2 years ago
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.

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...

Any help appreciated :)
swainhelen 2 years ago
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 2 years ago
@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...
swainhelen 2 years ago
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
skaternie 2 years ago
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)).

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,
jairzhino 2 years ago
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!!!!
SoggyWoffles 2 years ago
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"
