Jailbreak the iPhone 3GS with Purplera1n
July 3rd, 2009 by iPhoneTechZone
Deciding that waiting around for the Dev-Team to release its iPhone 3GS jailbreak solution is taking too long, original iPhone unlocker Geohot has released his own jailbreaking method, with the help of chronic dev and a few others, that he has dubbed purplera1n. Best. Name. Ever. As it stands, purplera1n only supports Windows rigs (Windows 7 and 64-bit excluded) but OS X support is on the way.
The iPhone Dev Team are waiting for the v3.1 software release from Apple before officially making the hack available, ostensibly to avoid the hack being patched by Apple. But as it is already ready, Geohot, a member of the Dev Team, has gone ahead and put it out for download.
The unlock is Windows-only, and youll need an iPhone 3GS to use it on, of course. I have neither, so I cant test it, but GeoHot at least has a good reputation. According to The Register, Hotz says the hack, named purplera1n is awesome. Maybe, but if it lets you load up the carrier-unlocking applications available for jailbroken iPhones. well probably agree.
Grab a copy of purplera1n.com and happy jailbreaking!

iPhone 3GS Jailbreak Delayed until FW 3.0.1 by Dev Team
June 29th, 2009 by iPhoneTechZone
We got all excited when redsn0w was released to jailbreak the iPhone and iPhone 3G on firmware 3.0. Plus, with ultrasn0w to unlock 3G , that was even better. When news broke that the iPhone 3GS jailbreak was imminent, users around the world cheered. The iPhone Dev Team can jailbreak the iPhone 3GS.
However, they are going to hold off releasing the jailbreak until later. Why? Well, if the Dev Team releases the 3GS jailbreak now, it will only benefit the early adopters plus once the 3.0.1 update is out, it’ll be back to square one. So to prevent this, the Dev Team is going to wait until the next update is released (which should be coming soon) to unveil the iPhone 3GS jailbreak. Some more details by the Dev Team : If you already have a 3GS phone and have already done a full USB dump or captured your img3s signed with your ECID, then youre in great shape. You will always be able to jailbreak.
