purplera1n for Mac Released - Jailbreak your iPhone 3GS

[SIRIUSISSUES]

Just install "Poof" from Cydia and hide the Freeze icon. That's what I did.

I got the jailbreak working on mac, everything went fine, installed cydia, installed ultrasnow, i get the t-mobile logo, and full signal, when i try to make a call it sits there for several seconds and then the signal bars drop to nothing and it says call failed. when trying to call the iphone, i pick up the call and answer but it still ringing on the callers side, and wont let me pick up the call. so its definately needs to be fine tuned a little more, its not usable as a phone at this point. anyone know if this is a jailbreak issue or an ultrasnow issue? ive rebooted several times with the same result.

All of my calls function normally on my 3GS. No problems at all. Wifi even works normally. I am able to make and receive phone calls and I have mostly a full bar at all times. Sometimes the bars do go up and down but not to the point where I am unable to use the phone.

Try restoring the phone and re-jailbreak.

can anyone advise on how to get tricker threeG to work with this jailbreak..it seems as if soon as you launch appstore or any other app that uses data connection crashes upon launch when tricker threeG is installed...same results when used voipover3g. any suggestions/comments?

[billchase2]

Word of advice: Don't install qTweeter. It crashes 3.0

From all the other posts and info I can gather.... it appears there are some Kernel patches missing in GeoHot's JB required to run Mobile Substrate apps (tricker3g / voipover3g) which are causing errors like skype crashing and app store crashing once installed. Our only hope right now is either the Kernel patches come out, or the Dev Team's JB (which will more then likely already include these patches). Hope this helps.

i ran purplera1n with itunes opened and all i totally forgot to close it but itunes helper wasnt running not sure if that makes a difference. everything went smooth for me it did prompt me that the phone was in recovery and i just hit ok than my phone rebooted and all has been well since. no need to restore from back up or anything it cant be any easier than this.

Does this not work on Mac OSX Tiger?

Is the "WinterBoard not working" an issue with the way the phone is being jailbroken or it just a 3gs issue that WinterBoard needs to be updated to work with 3gs ?

yes thanks for that info but the funny thing is that other applications like "status notifier" which also uses mobile subtrate works without any flaws and it even has a little smiley now for push notifications lol. just waiting on any patches that'll make it work !

Why didn't you install CyDelete and uninstall?

where have you been, the kernel patches came out yesterday with purplera1n rc2. we are now waiting for an update to winterboard, as according to saurik, the 3gs has some new instructions.

That's what I did. There's no need to keep it.

Winterboard neeeds to be updated for 3.0 3GS and wont work at the moment

Also wifi still not working on mine after 6 retores and 6 jailbreaks always after i install ultrasnow and restart

installation quick and painless for me. couldn't be easier. didn't have itunes running when i launched purple, it took about 3 minutes to update my iphone. most of that was waiting for it to enter restore mode. after it's done, reboot or power off/on your iphone and cydia will be there. let cydia update, and all is well.

as everyone says. not every app is updated for 3.0 yet, including winterboard. so don't use it! sheesh.

Yes it does!! I love that app. Its updated for 3.0 too. I wonder what the issue is.

Been here the entire time bud. SOME patches came out yesterday...ones that work with winterboard. Ones are still missing to work with mobile substrate apps like voipover3g and tricker3g as made obvious by the fact that they arent working.
