purplera1n – Jailbreak’s iPhone 3GS
purplera1n is the new Jailbreaking software for the all new iPhone 3GS is open for the public, given out by not the Dev-Team but a Boy named 'George Hotz' who was apparently fed up by the long wait Dev-Team is giving for the new unlock. This is what he has to say about it:
Normally I don't make tools for the general public, and rather wait for the dev team to do it. But guys, whats up with waiting until 3.1? That isn't how the game is played. We release, Apple fixes, we find new holes. It isn't worth waiting because you might have the "last" hole in the iPhone. What last hole...this isn't golf. I'll find a new one next week.
The versionreleased is only for Windows, and you are lucky if you are having XP or Vista which are able to Jailbreak the iPhone 3GS.
The purplerain software is still in its 'Beta' phase so try this at your own risk, but many are saying to have a sucessfull Jailbreak.
Prodecure / How to do it:
1. Make sure you are using the Windows OS computer.
2. Download the purplera1n software. (Click on link to download)

4. Open purplera1n, and click "Make it Ra1n"
5. Wait for it to complete, and on boot up you have to run the installer app of purplera1n called Freeze.
6. Then just follow the instructions on honw to Jailbreak the iPhone 3GS, which will be clearly given by the Program.
But i Prefer to wait for the Full Version to try my luck on.
