get this, iv tried it 59 times to be exact. a few times it says jailbreak finished wait for reboot... BUT... that was AFTER i pulled out the usb in true annoyance. after that, after taking your "it takes a little while" into account, its now been sat at the running stage for 35 mins. now thats more than 30 seconds. im not moaning, just will wait till these bugs are written out. it aint just me google "stuck on running" during jailbreak, theres plenty of examples. this is my 3G 3.1.2 trial before i try hooking up my 3GS on wednesday. it it dont work on my 3g, i aint trying it on my 3gs, not a cat in hells chance

So will blackra1n enable Cydia and allow the use of cracked apps, or will only DevTeams redsn0w do this? BTW thanks go to GeoHot and everyone else fir the jailbreaks ;)

Neither redsn0w, nor cydia or blackra1n will enable you the use of cracked apps. Because cracked apps are not the goal of the jailbreak.

its fine calling for a quick release, but how many of you lot would be the 1st on here complaining that your iphone is bricked because a few creases need ironing out b4 he releases it. do not forget, its free, so quit moaning and wait!! if i was geohot, id be charging for it, afterall, he does it in his own time, maybe if he charged it would be a total different story! if i was geohot and got the amount of moaning and whinging, i would apply for a job at apple and help lock the iphone down. then there really would be summink to moan about, another week and all will be sorted. dont foget, unlocking your iphone IS LEGAL but the software that unlocks it is not, go figure that 1 out

GeoHot stop making claims. Instead, focus on releasing BlackRa1n. Then you can earn the title of Jailbreak king.

Umm he started the jailbreaking scene! He's pretty much the father of it. I don't see you taking your time off college to jailbreak new software. You're going to be using it an any other tools that get released by him or anyone else so why not tell him thanks for working on something you're not taking the time to??? All you people that complain, YES Complain at them but you aren't doing anything to help or even offer a thanks but you complain and ridicule them. It's people like you that mess up the world because you are ungreatful!!!! George thank you for taking your time and doing this so that we can have awesome phones at our disposal!!!
