iPhone 3GS Jailbreak/Unlock is HERE!

seem like a few bugs too me

running multiple apps is of the most awesome part for me it appears a tad unstable too me reading the post. I think I will wait for a few more guinea pigs. I need to visit the Apple store in the next day or so anyway and talk too the apple geniuses because of signal loss issues. don't think I'll bring them a JB phone. ;)

btw another way to get your ECID or unique identifierb go to Itunes down load Istat free app run app. press my Iphone on the bottom page you can email you info. you can also use Idtat too clear you Iphone memory one of my favorite apps!

Actually, iStat shows the UDID, not the ECID.

Yep - I had that problem. Did some searching elsewhere though, got it working and didn't need to restore. Here's how I did it:

1. Run the app - says "Done, waiting to reboot" or something - nothing happens.

2. Close the ra1n app

3. Unplug the iphone & switch it off

4. Plug it back in again

5. Re-run the app

6. Bingo - the rain guy appears on the screen. App says waiting to reboot again - this time it happened after a minute or so.

7. After reboot (& entered my passcode), new icon Freeze somewhere on the Springboard - run that, and press the Install Cydia button. Bingo.

I now have a JB 3GS 32GB :-D in UK on O2. Running SBSettings and Five Icon Dock, and that's it cos I'm new to this scene... better go and look for something useful!

Restoring isnt my problem, its the jailbreak. Does this REQUIRE XP?

Bummer. VOIP3G does not work
Click to expand...

Not at all or only with certain apps? VOIPover3G is one of the main reasons I want to jailbreak my 3gs (for Skype and Slingplayer). If it's not going to work, I may not bother. Either way, I think I'm going to wait for the dev team's jailbreak - I trust them more.

They said the patch for VoIPover3g/TrickerThreeG is done, they're trying to figure out how to distribute it.

”http://fring.com/iphone.xml”) to your “Sources” list. Just fire up Installer.app, hit the “Sources” button located along the bottom edge of the Installer window. Hit the “Edit” button in the upper right corner, and then hit “Add” in the upper left corner. When prompted, enter “http://fring.com/iphone.xml” into the URL field.

You’ll see a new application category named “Fring” in your main Installer.app window. Click that and install the package - you’ll be off and VoIP-ing in no time with fring on your iPhone!

Tried it again still can't get it working. Loaded the Ra1n app did its thing got stuck on "Wait for Reboot" and I waited... unplugged turned it of. then plugged it in tried running Ra1n again.. Nothing stuck on plug usb-to itunes picture

Maybe something is going on?
 
If I run the jailbreak, can I restore the 3gs back to the original firmware if I don't like the jailbreak?
 
Ok, i'm a bit confused.. I got cydia installed... but isn't there supposed to be an installous app? How do I go about getting this?

yeah thats where I am stuck too :(

I am doing a restore back to factory setting and then going to try again

I am on Vista SP1
 
is anyone elses wifi connection randomly dropping and causing 1-3 sec freezes on the 3gs after installing the jailbreak, because mine is.


And did I make a big mistake by installing ultrasn0w..err?
