GeoHot has released his BlackRa1n jailbreak for Windows users only.
BlackRa1n should work on all devices using OS 3.0 and up. Please note that the new iPod touch requires a tethered jailbreak. Meaning, if you let the battery die you will need to use BlackRa1n to boot it again.
Also, its important to note that BlackRa1n does not hactivate your iPhone. This means that you must be using an official Apple carrier for activation purposes.
Didn't work for me, I'm running an iPhone 3g on 3.1.2 but mine went through the whole process including the photo, but I still didn't get the raindrop or anything different on my phone, any sugestions on how to fix it?
Ok guys thanks for waiting I now have an unlock for iphone 3g using 3.1 from Itunes using windows os This is ultrasnow updated from all the restrictions and if you wait a few more hours it will be perfected as i dont believe in beta testing so come back to tutorials around 4pm
its simple. I have an iphone 3gs that was on 3.0 firmware-this jailbreak didnt work. Updated to 3.1.2 from itunes and tried the jailbreak again and it worked in 10 seconds.
If you are not worried about your phone being locked for the next little while, update first. I did this with vista 64 bit and didnt have to shut anything off in itunes or any of that. Im not sure what tricks there are to preserve unlock but if you dont care just update first.
Also, dont download cydia and icy at the same time cause they dont play nice.
Sidenote: this update was not worth the trouble...dont update if you really dont have to.
once I click on make it rain the phone restarts and i get the apple logo then after that i get the picture of the itunes icon and the usb plug and then nothing happens??????????????
I posted this as a comment to another posting .. but I'm going to make this a new thread .. so that most people will see .. IT WORKS. I ran this on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit without having to do any compatilbility changes .. absolutely no issues what so ever. Application ran perfectly, took seconds, iPhone 3Gs 3.1.2 is now JB and I AM LOVING IT. Thank you GeoHot .. EXCELLENT JOB :)
If you're having problem try this .....
: Start blackra1n app. If you are on Windows 7 or Vista, run the app with Windows XP Compatibility mode by enabling it from the Properties tab to avoid any errors during the jailbreak process.
this worked for me...

Cheers geo your the man again this is the second jailbreak I've used of yours and I'm chuffed to bits I can use my fone the way every iPhone user should use there fone thankyou very much
Yeah, Winterboard doesn't apply. I tried multiple times and it doesn't seem to work.
You'll get a warning with Cydia regarding issue's with verifications of Version. Overall, I get my appolu and I'm happy. But would be nice if Winterboard would be working for this version. Anybody know a fix?
Having no problems with anything on a iPhone 3GS, installed Winterboard .. once I grabbed that, installed "FiveIconDock", "Five Column Springboard", "iC Theme Essentials", "WeatherIcon" and "LiveClock" .. downloaded from MacCiti the great Montys ACIER theme .. installed perfectly.
Here is one person that is in heaven .. again GeoHot .. EXCELLENT JOB mate.
