Geohot has updated his super simple jailbreaking tool called blackra1n to work with iPhone OS 4.0 . Although the official 4.0 Software hasn’t been released by Apple, George is just proving to people that he is still on top of his game. This updated version of Blackra1n has not been released and Geohot probably won’t release it until the iPad 3G version hits the shelves or maybe even late summer when the official OS 4.0 is released.

Geohot has announced that he’s updated the BlackRa1n jailbreak to support the iPad!

Still no word on a release date; however, Geohot has posted an image of BlackRa1n and Cydia installed on the iPad.

As you guys may know the new itunes 9.1 update broke blackra1n for windows so in turn the users couldn’t boot their tethered jailbroken iphones or jailbreak fresh iphones using blackra1n. Don’t worry the fix has been released and ill get to the point so download the new blackra1n that works with the new itunes 9.1 below.

Hurray, it’s cat and mouse time again! iTunes 9.1 was just released, and it looks like Apple has taken yet another step (or two) in their endless fight against jailbreaking.

Take this with a grain of salt for the time being, but we’re hearing a lot of early reports that jailbroken devices will not sync with this latest iTunes release. Read more…

Just a warning about blackra1n. Geohot released blackra1n a couple weeks ago, and it was pretty good. Unfortunately, Geohot has included a very buggy version of Icy which, when installed, will pretty much screw up your whole jailbreak causing you to have to restore.

Shame on Geohot for not fixing this. We have told him numerous times there are issues. Users have messaged him, he has been notified, he just doesnt care. Anyways:

–> Do NOT install Icy in Blackra1n <–

The icy bundle is broken and does not have permissions to install software, but that’s not the worst part. Blackra1n install of Icy breaks cydia and rock your phone since it has a very old version of dpkg. This is the core to all these installers.  Since icy is usually installed last, it overwrites dpkg with its own. This causes things like winterboard not working, sbsettings not working. What is really happening is mobile substrate cannot be installed (among other things).
I get about 20 emails a day on various issues that all stem from this one issue. So please spread the word. Do not install Icy in blackra1n.

Note: Icy is not to blame here, but the installation of Icy on blackra1n. Icy bundle in pwnagetool is fine. The problem is Geohot found a very old Icy and did not get it from rip-dev guys.

Warning:

If you are using the iphone dev teams ultrasn0w unlock do not upgrade with an official Apple firmware from itunes. Blackra1n requires you to upgrade your firmware officially and then run the easy jailbreak. You have been warned DO NOT USE THIS JAILBREAK METHOD IF USING DEV TEAM ULTRASN0W UNLOCK

Again GeoHot gives us good news. His program Blackra1n works perfectly well on the 3.1.2 firmware that Apple has just released!
