Technology At The Edge!: Purplera1n

The battle between the two jailbreaking giants in on the rise. Both the Dev and well as Geo are improving thier jailbreaks and throwing it out for the fans to unlock their iPhones. Geohot has released the second revision of his windows iPhone 3GS jailbreak. This one includes:

Vista, Windows 7, International, 64-bit support
Less flakiness in the payload
Cydia tar cleaned up
Improved logging with slightly more useful errors
New kernel patches, codesign errors gone. Props posixninja
Added vm_map +x, passed vm_check
No winterboard yet, but now that ball is in Saurik's court :-)
Still in beta, use caution

You can download from purplera1n.com. Usage is the same so just follow our guide which can be found on this forum in purplera1n category.

This is taken from iclarified. The guide clearly shows how to jailbreak the iPhone 3GS with the new firmware. This is Geohot's way of jailbreaking iPhone 3GS and the jailbreak is named purplerain. Avaialable for download here this has to be one of the easiest jailbreaks to use (if it works ).Instructions:Download purplera1n. This download is Windows only. Also it doesn't work on Windows 7. It IS beta so make sure you have all your data before trying to use this tool. A Mac version should be following something in the near future.

Run purplera1n. Click make it ra1n.

You should see a screen where purplera1n is connecting to your iphone.

Sadly that's as far as I get (I blame betanesssss).
Edit: you need to have C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\iTunesMobileDevice.dll
I'm running windows off of D drive so thats why mine didn't work. Simple making that directory and copying the file to c drive has fixed my problems.

BUT those of you lucky enough to make it all the way the remainder of the steps are as follows:

purplera1n on PC will say 'done, wait for reboot'.

4. After the iPhone boots, it will have a new app 'Freeze' with white icon.

5. Open Freeze and tap 'Install Cydia'. It will now download and install the package and then clean the installation. Wait till it says 'Finished!' and then just exit to home screen. If you still don't have cydia, reboot the phone and use freeze again.
