Simon,
If I used the RC1 version to jailbreak, so these issue are not fixed?
* Fixed 3G issues
* Tethered jailbreak for 3.1 OOTB ipt 8GB and new 3GS
* Fixed Icy issues
@kelvin,
You’re right. Blackra1n RC1 got some icy issues. That’s why you can see from comments in the earlier post that it’s not recommended to install Icy for RC1. In RC2, this issue is fixed as mentioned by the developer.
iv been fighting with blackra1n rc1 and rc2 and almost gave up until i decided to try one more time and all i did was right click blackra1n and unchecked cabatibility and worked like a charm
The 3g that i have on 3.1.2 does not get signal with a non iphone att sim. But that same sim works fine in my other iphone with 3.0.1, ideas? Do i need to unlock it to use it with a random att sim? Or do i need to restore it with 3.0.1?
I’m trying to let a coworker try out my back up iphone. The one i can’t use cause it has the newer base band and i’m on tmobile.
Simon,
well I jailbroke with rc1. What kind of 3g issue and Oobt issue do I have?
@Jogb, the developer doesn’t mention the details of the bug fixes. If you haven’t used blackra1n before, use RC2. However, if you’ve successfully jailbroken your iPhone using RC1, no need to jailbreak again using RC2.
Does blackra1n RC2 Hacktivate iphone? i have a first gen. iphone …. and i’m planing to upgrade it to 3.1.2,, and the only way for me to jailbreak it is by using blackra1n,, coz i don’t have a mac…. only pc.. i’m sure that there’s no problem with the unlock..
@tony, no hacktivation for blackra1n. You need to use an official sim when using with blackra1n.
