Ok, question........I was about to buy a 3GS but I did not win it big in Vegas. My question is should I buy a 3GS now or wait. I have the money but like most, I was gonna wait until the jailbreak was released before buying one. But with 3.1 FW approaching, or it appears that way, I was wondering if I should wait or just buy one this weekend. Thoughts??

Users/myusername/Library/Caches/Cleanup At Startup

Can this process be done on a crappy PC?
If so, is it really that different?
Thanks,

Any sign of a windows guide?

I havent tried on PC but I am assuming the Cleanup At Startup folder is somewhere on windows as well..

I will do so. Another question, how did you get your homescreen in finder to show icons next to each folder in the screenshot you provided of your computer? Is that from a MBP or an iMac?

no offense to the dev team, but i think this is completely confusing and uncalled for. why not just do the purplera1n method? it takes like 2 secs and there is no risk of pwning your phone to 3.1 by accident.

Cool, thanks. It looks really good. When I get home I will be downloading that one.

Got mine. I am on Windows Vista and had to type %temp% on the start bar to find the place these go to (and delete a bunch of folders. I also had to put my 3GS in DFU mode to get the folder with both files in it (and had to move fast to drag/copy the folder to an external USB drive. It worked though and I am ready!

Well no offense to you, but it's not uncalled for. The Dev's have specifically said that you WILL NEED the IBEC and IBSS files created by this process in order to jailbreak in the near future.

The purplera1n file (from my understanding) was an earlier method/safety net which contains your unique iPhone 3g[s] ECID. That file may/may not still be required along with the IBEC and IBSS files.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Dev's have just found where apple keeps the IBEC/IBSS files needed for jailbreaking the 3g[s], whereas the ECID (purplera1n file) is needed for firmware authorization upon restore on the iphone 3g[s]. They are used for different things.


In other words, do both... just in case

I hate to post a repetative question here but using the method in this link:

Get Your 3G S iBSS Certificate for Upcoming Jailbreak | PurpleRa1n

I was able to locate my ECID which i then posted pasted into puplera1n and got what i think its the IBSS file even though the file downloaded does not have a file extension... now i see another file "IBEC" which is talked about in this tutorial yet I dont think i have it... so considering what i already have (ECID & what i believe is the IBSS file) do i still need to follow the steps on this guide?
