Blackra1n RC3 includes the Blacksn0w “ unlock for the latest 05.11.07 baseband ” “ enable official tethering ” and a ” huge 15 second speed improvement ”. We already published the Jailbreak Unlock iPhone 3G 3GS 3.1.2 with Blackra1n. Here’s the guide that allows you to run the Jailbreak, activation and unlocking the phone part of all the EDGE. Please note Blackra1n is just for jailbreak later we need a working Wi-Fi connection to Install BootNeuter from Cydia.

Blackra1n RC3 and double click the rain drop icon to launch the program

Step Two : Click the make it ra1n button.

Step Three : You iPhone will now be placed in recovery mode. You will see a picture of GeoHot that replaces the

regular recovery mode screen on your device.

Step Four : Your iPhone or iPod Touch will reboot once blackra1n is done doing it’s thing and you should see the

blackra1n icon on there. If you don’t see the blackra1n icon, go to the last page on your iDevice and you should see it.

Step Five : Install Cydia from

the blackra1n app. You have the option of choosing Cydia, and Rock. I don’t recommend you to install both of them at once, because that may cause problems. Install them one

at a time then reboot and then second one.

Step Six : Open Cydia and run updates essential. Now se

arch for “BootNeuter” and install the bootneuter app. When BootNeuter Starts make sure that the application has following configurations.

Step Seven : When you are ready click on the button “Flash” and after a few seconds you will have unlocked the phone part of your iPhone 2G

Warning do not interrupt the process of flashing : This may take some time before being completed, so you should have a little patience.
