A few weeks ago GeoHot released Blackra1n to jailbreak any iPhone and iPod Touch running the new firmware OS version 3.1.2. However, many users after downloading the tool had trouble running the tool and some actually didn’t manage to achieve a jailbreak.

GeoHot has now released RC2 of his Blackra1n tool which addresses the following…

• Fixed 3G issues
• Tethered jailbreak for 3.1 OOTB ipt 8GB and new 3GSes
• Fixed Icy issues
• Both Windows and Mac

It must be stressed once again, that for iPhone 3G and 3GS users who want to unlock their iPhones using ultrasn0w, you must not update to 3.1.2 via iTunes directly as your baseband would be updated automatically. You would be better off using the iPhone Dev Team’s tools as it would help you bypass any baseband update. If you’re interested in only jailbreaking your iPhone or iPod Touch using GeoHot’s new updated jailbreak tool, click here to visit his blog or directly visit the Blackra1n homepage.
