what happened to the purplera1n file? it now goes to the freaking iphonewiki website etc. do have the file that you can email to me?
iphonegrl@gmail.com

Just a (maybe stupid) question:

Is there by any chance the possibility to brick my iPhone (I have a 3GS, but the question is about all models) trying to jailbreak it?

Is it true that whatever it happens, I can always restore the last backup or even "format" it to factory settings with a software restore?

If not, please let me know what can lead me to it or point me to the forum where they talk about it.

Thanks a lot.

I just subscribed to the forum, but I have to say this post is very interesting and well managed! You guys are good!

ciao

You're right... the purplera1n web page is now redirected.

[illuminatty]

Is it just me or is the only link to purplera1n just a wiki page? I can't find the actual link

Also does Freeze stay on your home screen?

It works to me. I can see both the Win and the Mac version. If you are running a Mac, try to reload the page wile pressing option or find a way to do a "real" refresh (without using the cache) of the page on your Windows browser.

I hope it helps

oops... it must have happened just a few mins ago!! Now I go to the wiki-site as well!

Could you point me in the right direction, i tried to install Mobilesubstrate from cydia and it hung, attempted again and now it installed but skype still not working over 3g.

Thanks.

Heres my question.

I have an iPhone 3Gs, I can activate it legitimately. I plan on using purplera1n to jailbreak, install cydia, then ultrasn0w to unlock. Should I then restore the iPhone 3Gs, will the ultrasn0w unlock get wiped?

I ask this because with my original iPhone the unlock doesnt get wiped with a firmware restore.

You dont' even need an AT&T card to hacktivate.

Just purplera1n, then get the hacktivated lockdownd file, then use DiskAid to put into usr/libexec and off you go.

I just put up a guide for this method too.

If you "restore" your phone by going into iTunes and clicking restore and reinstall the firmware from Apple's servers, then you will lose both your jailbreak and unlock. You can maintain all of your data from the pre-jailbroken state, though, since Purplera1n patches the firmware rather than making a custom IPSW and installing it. It's a very short process that leaves your iPhone with all data it had prior to the jailbreak (text messages, contacts, email accounts, etc.). So if your question is to ask if you need to "restore from backup" in iTunes, this is not necessary. I have not tried this, but it should work (not that you'd need to).

Yes. This was an issue with the pre-jailbroken software as well. It is a known bug and Apple is supposedly working on it for the 3.1 release. For me at least, the problem seems to manifest after you delete an App Store app and reboot the phone, though I have heard of other ways to trigger the bug as well. I've had no troubles with it so long as I do not delete App Store apps directly from the phone. You can delete unwanted apps directly from iTunes by unchecking their checkbox.

Apple's advice to remedy the issue is to restore the device's firmware and resync from backup. By this method, you will not lose any application data. Alternatively, you can stop syncing apps from the Applications tab in iTunes, then resync the apps. This will cause you to LOSE all application data, however. This is why they recommend restoring the device. After the restore you can jailbreak.

NetaTalk works fine so far.

Is there an ongoing list being made of what works & what doesn't? We shouldn't all have to feel our way along independently.

Hi, where did you get a dock that supports the 3gs!??!?
