- Download the latest version of iTunes.
- Connect your iPhone to your PC/Mac and upgrade to iPhone OS 3.1.2
- Download blackra1n. ( Chose the correct version for your OS )
- Run the app and click on the make it ra1n button.
- Let it do its job and once your iPhone reboots, the blackra1n app will be there in the Springboard. Run it and install blacksn0w.
If you already had blackra1n installed on your iPhone, run the app and you’ll see ‘ra1n’ instead of Icy. Upgrade by tapping it. After the upgrade, it’ll show ‘sn0w’ in the options. Install it and your iPhone will be unlocked.
blacksn0w will also be released via Cydia later today so those who jailbroke using pwnage tool or deleted the blackra1n app will be able to unlock their iPhones easily.
For those interested, here’s the change log for blackra1n RC3:
- Hacktivation support
- 15-second speed improvement
- Tiger+PPC support
- Installation of latest blackra1n app

Ihave an iphone 2g. I tried to use bootnueter to unlock but it says that it is already unlocked, butthen it will not take my go phone sim chip. How do I hacktivate the 2g phone?
I went to that site and ran boot nueter, but is wont flash becase because it says there is nothing to change.
just out of curiousity.. will it make untethered jailbreak for ipt 2g MC model?
I don't think so. No word from George about it but there would be an
untethered jailbreak soon I'm sure.
where can i find the blacksn0w app in cydia ? i have jailbroken with the pwnage tool 3.1.4
It's expected to be available in Cydia later today.
okey then.. i'm looking forward for another great job by Mr. GeoHot.. thanx for the info! =)
