Geohot has released blacksn0w to unlock iPhone running iPhone OS 3.1.2 and baseband 05.11.07.
Along with blacksn0w, Geohot is also releasing sa new version of his popular and extremely simple iPhone jailbreaking tool blackra1n RC3, with hactivation support, 15 second speed improvement, Tiger+PPC support, and installation of the latest blackra1n.app.
He has provided the following details on his blog for users who have already used blackra1n to jailbreak their iPhone:
If you are a loyal blackra1n user who kept the blackra1n.app on your iPhone, run it. You will see Icy replaced by an option "ra1n". Install this to upgrade your app. After upgrading, run blackra1n.app again. You will see "sn0w". Install this, and enjoy your unlocked iPhone.
If you’re planning to unlock your iPhone for the first time then he has the following instructions for you:
If you are new to the scene, just looking for an unlock, finally ready to upgrade to 3.1.2 and the accompanying baseband, willing to restore for the latest and greatest, or stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen, you are in luck. Jailbreaking and unlocking have never been easier. Go to blackra1n.com, click on the logo corresponding to your operating system, run the app, and click "make it ra1n". When your phone reboots, you'll see blackra1n.app. Run this, install blacksn0w, and enjoy your unlocked iPhone.
He also plans to release blacksn0w via Cydia so you can install it if you have jailbroken your iPhone using PwnageTool.
If you jailbroke using pwnage or deleted your blackra1n.app, you are in luck too. Sometime later in the sn0wday, blacksn0w will be added to Cydia.
Blacksn0w will unlock iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, if you are an iPhone 2G user then Geohot has provided the following instructions:
If you are on a 2G iPhone, blacksn0w isn't an option for you. But BootNeuter is, a completely free permanent unlock for your 2G. Of course, blackra1n will work great, and even hacktivate for you.
Geohot recommends:
Clean firmware 3.1.2 and baseband 05.11.07 are recommended.
You can install blacksn0w on your iPhone to unlock it using blackra1n. You can download the latest version of blackra1n from this link.
Update:
Geohot has also release blacksn0w via Cydia. To install it on your iPhone, add blackra1n.com as repository.
Please remember hacking your iPhone could void its warranty. So please proceed with caution and at your own risk. It is always a good idea to take a backup of your iPhone before you hack it, refer to this post for more details.
If the solutions works for you, don’t forget to drop over at the blackra1n’s website to give Geohot a donation for all his hard work.
As always, if you give it a shot let us know how it goes.

i currently have 3G 3.0.1 running fine… any beneficial to upgrade to 3.1.2 ? would you recommended ?
anyone know if push will work after unlocking?
can i use blacksn0w to jb my iphone 3gs 3.1 as well? or do i have to use blackra1n to jb my iphone first then use blacksn0w to unlock it?
THanks
in order to use blacksn0w you need a jailbroken phone. So the answer is yes you have to use blackra1n first to jb it, then blacksn0w
its nt working..
It worked for me. But my wifi connection doesnt show. So i cant get youtube to work or install cydia. Please help anyone. Thanks
Nice. Just ran the blackrain App on my phone and did everything. Fully unlocked phone, Sweet!.
My question is how do I switch carriers now with my phone? I want to switch to Verizon. Do I just walk in with my iPhone?
The iPhone CANNOT work on Verizon because they are not hardware/network compatible.
Works like a charm! thank you very much Geohot!
if you already have a jailbroken iphone with 05.11.07 baseband just add the source http://blackra1n.com/
"in cydia"
it's not working for mine either but i got 3.1 i am goint to upgrade it to 3.1.2 then try again
will bootnueter work on a 2g iphone running the 3.0 os?
so what carriers can I use?
pendejo
installed 3.1.2 jailbroken it again with blackra1n installed blacksnow but when i enter a different sim it says locked sim
Yup Verizon is CDMA and Iphone is GSM only.
Any GSM network like T-mob
I unlocked but wi-fi stoped working. Cant find any networks now…HELP!!!!
Great job! Worked fine on my 3GS.
GeoHot said the tethering worked but I lost mine. Anyone know how to get it back? And I don't mean PdaNet.
Kuel Job Buddy. Just Know i jail break my iPhone
nevermind, he just posted it on his twitter
i ahave the same problem ..when i put another sim card i just can receve call
mine works fine. Maybe grab the file from BenM. I have that and mine works.
Great job and so fast, need to donate when got some spare money to give.
Many thanks to Geohot for looking out for us all. My only question is with this latest breakthrough, is it now OK (intentional or unintentional)to update to Apple's latest firmware via itunes, known very well that such an update would change the phone's baseband to 05.11.07?
Worked well on 3GS (3.1.2), but like many others wi-fi no longer works! A solution would be much appreciated!
awesome work geohot.your a genius!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so so much. I ahve donated a little but donate more when the funds improve. Worked a dream. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
Thank you! T-mobile works but have lost Wifi!
Kha….
If you don't have MMS enable and want it? YES do it…
First connect you iPhone to itunes and update to 3.1.2, then run Blackra1n… and let it run… after 15 seconds aprox… you;ll have a Jailbroken iPhone.
Then you'll see a blackra1n.app in your iPhone, run it and you'll see 3 options to install: Cydia, ROCK, and Snow.
Make sure that u write down the repositories and packages that u have in Cydia, coz u might loose them after u start the Jailbreak process.
If u want to UNLOCK your phone run SNOW from the blackra1n menu.
So far I did it on 4 phone and the Jailbreak process worked like a charm…
Thanks to geohot!!!

Im confused. Before it was bad to upgrade to 3.1.2 because it upgraded the baseband. Now that they made a new jailbreak it's okay to upgrade? Doesn't make sense, the baseband is still being upgraded.
AFAIK pwnagetool made the custom IPSW that didn't upgrade the baseband.
hey guys does this work for any BOOTLOADER AND BASEBAND combo? i believe i have fw 3.1.2, bootloadar 06.04 and baseband 5.11.07. should i try? yes? no?
no WI-FI on 3gs? HELP…I apreciate people release this, but test the things first…please, what Im supose to do now without wi-fi?
Thanks A LOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTT Geohot, works wonderfull!!!!, will donate ASAP
i have installed blacksn0w on my 3gs 32gig, jailbroken with blackra1n R2, but when i reboot my iphone,it says no service.Then it says that i've lost my network setting or something. HELP PLZ!!!!
Resetting Network Settings fixed the wifi problem:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

Ok…little problem here.
I used blackra1n to jailbreak, blacksn0w to unlock. everything was perfect at first..
then comes the problem..
reception is low-to-none.
i've tried turning on airplane mode then off..
3g on then off..
data roaming on then off..
reset network settings..
power off then on..
still..reception is usually none. it pretty much lives in "no service"
does anyone have any suggestions?
