This page was created to combine different solutions when Blackra1n does not work or stops:

Here is the guide that will allow you to unlock this terminal without running into the error that prevented the progress of the process after the entry into Recovery Mode.

Requirements:

blackra1n

iTunes 9.0.1

Firmware 3.1.2 installed on your device (downloadable from here )
Note: Once you reset the firmware you need to make a restart of the device to ensure the successful operation of Jailbreak the iPhone.

Guide:

1. After downloading blackra1n, move the executable in the directory “C: /”.

2. Shut our iPhone 3G and make sure that the USB cable is attached to the device.

3. We initiate blackra1n and press the only button available “ra1n make it”

4. We turn on our iPhone via the Power button and wait until you start. In this passage might open several times iTunes: just close it only via the dedicated button.

5. We expect the successful entry of your iPhone in Recovery Mode (step strictly done by the program itself) and then, after the disappearance of the image that portrays GeoHot, we will be in a LockScreen with our iPhone jailbreak.

6. We go into “Settings> Wi-Fi” and insert the password (if any) of our Wi-Fi home network. We enter, therefore, in the new application installed, blackra1n. With a tap select the package “Cydia” and then the button on the top right “Install”. Done!

Finally you can enjoy the iPhone 3G unlocked, avoiding the annoying error on the Recovery Mode.

Alternative Help:

If the method just presented their works there, try to follow this exposed by Robert[most iPOd Touch]:

1. Connect the iPhone to your computer, close iTunes and click on “Make It Rain” by blackra1n.

2. When the iPhone crashes in recovery mode, and blackra1n remains in “running”, do not close BLACKRA1N and turn off the phone by clicking on Home + Power.

3. The program will tell you that the operation of Jailbreak has been completed but in reality it is not. At this point, then:

  • Close Blackra1n;
  • Re-open Blackra1n;
  • Click on the Make it Rain
  • Turn on your phone

The program should recognize the iPhone and completing the Jailbreak.

    my 3G 3.1.2 was previously jailbroken with blackra1n and unlocked. It ran great for many months using t-mobile sim but then at some point after the phone had been turned off and back on it became stuck on the apple logo permanently. I have tried to re run blackra1n several times but always end up with the same result: I click on “make it rain” then when “waiting for device” appears and the phone is connected the apple logo comes on and nothing happens, so, I have to put the phone into restore mode myself then the program recognizes it and shows “running” then “done, wait for reboot” and the “enjoy your jailbroken iphone” window appears. Geohot’s face appears on the phone but, stays there for a couple of minutes then the little time passing circle appears on his face and after another few minutes like that the screen goes blank and the battery charging screen appears with the battery in the red for a minute or so before it reboots on its own stuck back on the apple logo until the battery dies, charges just enough to reboot stuck on apple logo again and again. I have tried rebooting manually while Geohot’s face was on the screen, I’ve run blackra1n from C:/, I have ended all itunes processes, I’ve tried with sim card and without. I’ve tried programs like diskaid, iphone browser, and iphone explorer to attempt to recover data but they don’t find the phone. IRecovery hasn’t worked either. I am able to put it into restore mode as well as DFU mode. Is there any way to access any data on the phone? What can I do?
