Blackra1n RC3 Coming with iPhone Hacktivation Support

by Simon Ng on November 3, 2009



blackra1n-comIn less than two hours, GeoHot will release the first iPhone Unlock Solution (known as blacksn0w) for baseband 05.11.07. Other than that, he has also developed an update of blacksn0w (i.e. RC3) that makes this popular jailbreaking tool for iPhone 3.1.2 even better.

It’s an imminent release for iPhone jailbreaker without official sim. Hacktivation is now integrated into blackra1n. Here I sum up the improvement of the blackra1n RC3:

  • Hacktivation support – Great addition. Now even you’re not using an official SIM, blackra1n can activate your iPhone.
  • Even faster jailbreak process – It only shortens the 30-seconds jailbreak process by 15 second.
  • Mac Tiger + PPC support


At Noon EST, 5 PM GMT, you can download the blackra1n RC3 at blackra1n.com. Both Mac and Windows version are available.

Stay tuned. The first-ever unlock solution for iPhone 3.1.2 will also be released today. Come back later and I’ll keep you update about the news of GeoHot’s great release!

Update: blackra1n and blacksn0w RC3 are now available! Check out the details here.

@luke,

Purpleara1n is not update-to-date. You may try out blackra1n, which is the latest version of jailbreak tool that supports jailbreaking on iPhone 3GS. You can refer to the jailbreak guide for further info.
