What OS are you running? I went thru the EXACT symptoms in Windows Vista...finally jumped on a XP machine...and boom...no probs. I dont really think you can say its JB'en if there is no freeze since you cant get Cydia. PM me and I might be able to help. I was loosing my mind with the same issue.

for ME after running several times and seeing the purplerain logo the freeze icon did not show even tho the log said it was complete. I noticed on some posts saying oo look on second screen. Well i had 3 screens total and no room on the second. i thought that was weird, thinking why it wouldnt show on the third or make a new slot. so i deleted aps on the second screen, tried again and it worked just fine

there poped up the freeze icon.

keep up the good work.

so, the ra1nyday file is useless atm eh...

people are jailbreaking just fine just with the .exe

i take it its more for what things to come.

I had to try 3-4 different times, resetting the phone and everything but i finally got it to work. Yes you do need that freeze program on there.

Speaking of tools

I had to run this on 2 comps to get it to work, but now I'm rolling jailbroke style and am loving it. This community is full of whiney beotches that want and want but are never satisfied. If you don't want to use it to JB then don't, many many of us have used it, are jailbroken and are very happy with the results. No winterboard and some other things but I can deal with that, I just hate not having my iPhone being "mine". So sit back, shut your pie hole, and do what you're going to do but stop taking a dump on a guy that put something out that works for the non-retards in the bunch.

The guys over a iPhone 3G Hacked have a guide on how to run purplera1n on vista. I followed it and it worked.

hope this helps.....

I Couldn't agree more. Good words.

**Rogobono** · 07-03-2009, 10:54 PM

Ok so after I install this on the phone, which I believe i have done successfully. (text file shows no errors), Do I need an AT&T Sim to get it past that stupid activation screen? or should the program have done that for me?

**long10horns** · 07-03-2009, 10:54 PM

I got everything to work on my Windows XP computer but all the files I want to SSH over to my iPhone are on my Mac. Is there any way to get SSH to work for Mac with my iPhone 3GS? I've tried Cyberduck, Terminal, and Fugu and all of them give me errors. I know others have had the same issues and I don't think they've been remedied yet.

**mgregor** · 07-03-2009, 10:56 PM

Woo Hoo, just waiting for Winterboard now. But in the meantime I moved all my icons off the first page, changed the dock and hid the settings app in the top left corner. So Sick.

Can someone please tell me how to change the WALLPAPER BACKGROUND? Where is the original black background located or where would I have to look to change it??? Thanks

I was doing it on my laptop which has XP, and switched to my desktop and it worked. Thanks

That's the problem, there is no default wallpaper.

Here's some notes on how this seems to be working:

-Purplerain only works (at all) on a 32-bit, x86 operating system.
-Higher success rate by plugging USB into back up computer (laptop or desktop).
-iTunes can be open, iTunesHelper process does not need to be killed.
-XP, Vista, or 7, doesn't matter, as long as its a 32-bit OS.
-For Vista and 7, it must be run as an administrator in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2 or SP3.
-Most recent version of iTunes, 8.2.0.23, must be installed.

It seems best to attempt on XP though. I can personally confirm my 3GS is now jailbroken thanks to purplerain on a separate XP partition from my usual Windows 7 x64. Woo!

Mine works great in fugu. What I do to get it started is while your logging in the first time with fugu, try refreshing your iphone safari browser. For some reason this works for me every time.

download disk aid...and use the drop down at the bottom to go to the root. its a nice program that does the same as SSH with just a USB connectiong. i already tried it and it forsure works

You CAN NOT change this without Winterboard. This is a well known fact.
