S’more Snow

Author : rooster


Thanks to George Hotz and his creatively-named “blacksnow” unlock, ALL iPHONES & iPOD TOUCHES ARE JAILBREAKABLE!!!!

Geoshot has done a wonderful job of making this hack easy and simple to use.

Here it is!

Instructions and tips:

  • Clean firmware 3.1.2 and baseband 05.11.07 are recommended.
  • Blacksn0w is also available on Cydia, add blackra1n.com as repo (requires firmware >= 3.1 and baseband 05.11.07)
  • Windows Tutorial
  • Mac Tutorial

Known Issues and fixes:

  • There is currently an issue with “push” and “youtube” but the dev-team will release a fix shortly.
  • Some WiFi issues have also come up. Merely reset your “Network Settings” to fix this.

  3. baseballstud7, November 8, 2009:

    it worked! i have an i pod touch 3g and i have been trying to jailbreak for about a month. i have tried everything. this one didn’t work either the first time but then i tried it again and it worked just like that. click make it rain and if it doesn’t work the first time, just run it again with out pressing anything but make it rain. that’s what i did and it worked. try it if you want. hope it workes for you! peace…

  5. Paradoxous, November 8, 2009:

    hmmm….but is it tethered??

  6. chris ononuju, November 8, 2009:

    Another easy one from geohotz is Blackra1n.com exactly the same and download rock instead of cydia it is way faster easier and shows previews of what you are downloading and also has all the apps cydia has and even more.

  7. ChidoK, November 8, 2009:

    That was so much easier compared to the last time I jailbreaked my iPod. Took only thirty seconds, and I didn’t have to restore my iPod! That was awesome!

  8. Anonymous, November 9, 2009:

    So this is confirmed to jailbreak iPod Touch 3G untethered?

  9. ANdy Boy, November 9, 2009:

  10. Paradoxous, November 9, 2009:

  11. keychain, November 10, 2009:

    I downloaded blackrain, connected my ipod touch 3g to my computer and my ipod just froze

  12. keychain, November 10, 2009:

    help!!

  13. keychain, November 10, 2009:

    it is still frozen after 30 minutes, it just has blank screen and i cant do anything. I cant even power it down. When i try connecting it to the computer it does not recognize my ipod. What should i do???

  14. Awesome, November 11, 2009:

    hold both of the buttons for 10 seconds then without letting go, keep holding the home button for 10 more seconds

  15. Sevka, November 13, 2009:

    worked like a charm =) thanks.

  16. Sevka, November 13, 2009:

    oh…it was ipod 3g as well =D

  17. Syaoran, November 16, 2009:

    Wth… this is like really old the blackra1n… where is balcksnow?
    blackra1n is tethered for ipod touch 3g

  18. keychain, November 16, 2009:

    hey this really works great but when ever i turn my ipod completely of or the battery runs out all the way and turn it back on it says i have to restore my ipod. Ihave to restore my ipod each time and reinstall everything

  19. Awesome, November 17, 2009:

    you dont have to restore each time!!! when that screen pops up on your ipod saying to restore, just run blackra1n again

  20. Weyzer, November 23, 2009:

    this is tethered? wtf. If you do not know what this means: If you shut it down, you have to connect it to the PC again before it works… so you cannot let it run out of battery or reboot.

  21. Vatcher, November 26, 2009:

    What about the 8gb touch 3g? Anyone got that working.

  22. Naggie21, November 29, 2009:

    The 8GB Touch isn’t a 3. gen, it’s a 2. gen.

  23. jlw12, November 30, 2009:

    I have a jailbroken ipod touch running os ver 2.2.1. would like to run some apps that require os 3.0. what’s the best way for me to safely upgrade without losing my current apps, songs, etc?

  24. Awesome, November 30, 2009:

    update through itunes duh!

  25. Awesome, November 30, 2009:

    theres not a whole lot of jailbroken stuff you can keep but updating through itunes will keeps all your songs, apps and videos

  26. jlw12, November 30, 2009:

    If I update through itunes doesn’t that mean i will no longer be jailbroken?? I want to avoid that. Any way to upgrade to os 3.0 auntethered jailbreak version?

  27. Kellia, December 3, 2009:

    Help, I have a new ipod touch 8gb (i was told at best buy it was 3rd generation) and it is running the 3.1.2 software, can i use the same jailbreak that was used to the ipod touch 2nd generation? or will the new software not allow me to jailbreak it? Thanks!

  28. SAM, December 5, 2009:

    I got a problem guys

    Trying to jailbreak 8GB 1G Ipod Touch

    Run blackra1n, and after a few seconds message appears saying jailbreak successful. However, I do not get the picture that you are supposed to get while jailbreaking, nor is the blackra1n app on my springboard after a supposedly successful jailbreak. In fact, I don’t even know that it’s jailbroken.

    Running FW 3.1.2

    This is blackra1n’s error log:

    ***

    By the log it looks like SOMETHING went wrong, but what?

    Can anyone help?
