iPhone 3GS Jailbreak purplera1n Released! [Windows]

[wardrobe22]

i make it all the way but the phone never reboots just stays in recovery and itunes pops up and tell me to restore any suggestions

[thaforgottenone]

Try just killing that app window (with upper right x) and restart and do it again. That worked for me on XP.

Oh yeah, and make sure iTunes is NOT running at the time.

yea thats what i did then rerun the prog and then he will show up in you iphone.

Dam, i retract everything bad ive ever said about the 3GS. I don't plan on making a drink or having an 8 hour sleep before i open Cydia now, its quick enough to actually search and use, just like installer on 1.x.

Ive heard conflicting reports, has anyone tried tricker3g or voipover3g with slingplayer? this is a MUST for me!!

[wardrobe22]

maybe should i try another pc or do u have any suggesgtions cause make it rains works jus tont he reboot it stays in recovery and itunes says to resore

And the slow cydia download is a mix between your rubbish internet/wireless data speed and the strain on geohots server from a large number of people worldwide downloading cydia.

I just got it downloaded in a couple of minutes. Now to test some apps ...

I agree reeko, if you have negative comments, just keep them to self. Everyone was complaining for the lack of a 3G[S] jailbreak & now that GEO has worked dilligently to get us one, we now have ungreatful idiots complaining that is was rushed or buggy or whatever the case may be. Just remember, this is a hobby for alot of people and they could easily not release anything for the public Giving you a reason to complain. So be courteous & thank them for their work. If you don't want to use it, cool, just be on your way because there are alot of people here on this forum that really appreciate what they do for all of us. Thanks for your time.

I had an issue but was due to installing status notifier, but like Jag said, let it boot in safemode & uninstall winterboard, then reboot. Now you shouldn't have any issues.

How do you uninstall winterboard? Sorry if it's a dumb question.

EDIT: I got it. now I am not in safemode anymore and notifier works! Great!

[wardrobe22]

i am very gratefull at the people who work hard to help us and make things beter i was just looking for suggestions sorry if i offended anyone

[3gsmorena]

^^^^awwww apology accepted. even though I don't what u r apologizing for, but you sound very sincere.

[finalfantasy]

^+1

And cydia is WAYYYY quicker on the 3GS

by only... 500% OMG its fast... 3g it took 1 min too load everything when you clicked on cydia... now it takes 10 seconds maybe that... lol

[z28kid]

someone should make a sticky on how to make iphone backups and make it very noob friendly. also maybe a jailbroken guide for us noobs. so we can have links on what apps are needed and what steps should be taken.. I am still unsure if i want to wait for the dev team to make their release or use purplera1n

[finalfantasy]

Oh ya CPJR i ordered a blue case for my iphone so i can switch from the white backcover too BLUE like you did with the red and orange

[Squeaky369]

Done. Took less then five minutes to JB, download and install Cydia.

This was awesome. It might have bugs in it, but it will take time to perfect.

Thank You.

after installing appsync, is it OK to get them via itunes?

i was downloading on another site then uploading them via winSCP

[reeko]

ok, backgrounder works.

playing doom, background enabled to spring board, open safari and search.

sbsettings shows 128MB free memory still! with every process killed i get 163MB

Hopefully backgrounder gets updated to sought of stack apps, background a couple at a time.

The speed is really showing through now and it is worth every penny of an upgrade. Just wow.

[kwickone]

^+1 And re-springing is almost instantaneous! Very sweet!

EDIT: And SBSettings is lightning fast! And I love the show memory on top bar...it is nice showing 145MB free. What a difference from the 3G where I was hopeful for 30MB free.

[OneRing2Rule]

How many of you donated? Over the last two years, I remember people saying they'd donate if they could. Well, he ain't the dev-team, but he jb'd my 3GS. All I ever wanted was SBSettings again.

Did you donate?

Will you donate?

Just asking.... Isn't there a poll thing here?

Its amazingly fast!

Mine kept konking out on Vista and I was stuck on the restore screen. Thankfully my XP laptop saved the day, just plugged the phone into the laptop while it was at the restore screen and ran the purplera1n app and it finished its task.

I'm wondering now if the kernel updates they are working on will be able to be installed or if a re-jailbreak will be needed? Would be nice if the Freeze app looks for updates and they can deliver it though that, but I think its only purpose is to get Cydia there?
