When i turn my phone off at night in the am it has the itunes cord and I have to reinstall blackra1n. Any solution to fix this?
@Joe
The jailbreak for 3.1.2 (blackra1n) is a thethered jailbreak meaning that when you turn off your iPhone/iPod touch you have to re-jailbreak your device.
There is no solution to this now
I hear redsnow crashes on windows ... I tried this as well. Any sure fire tools to jail break the 3gs?
you can't use redsn0w if u upgraded ur firmware from 4.28 to 5.11... as of right now... blackra1n would be ur only solution to jailbreak ur phone if u upgraded ur firmware... i jailbroke mines on rednsn0w... 3.1.2 with 4.28 and works like a charm...
How long will it be until the iPhone 3Gs 3.1.2 will NOT have to be tethered?
thats strange because I am able to turn mine off and back on normally
