Iphone: I made it Ra1n

I have never been happy to just leave well enough alone.  I must always tinker with something. Even to the point of breaking the item at times.  But, this is usually how I learn, I change this, then change that, then test and check to determine what difference it made.  Then, I may even try and reverse everything and make it like new again.  Who knows really.

Once I had an Iphone, this did not change.  I wasn't happy with just using it as designed, I wanted to modify it to my tastes, use it for other purposes than Apple Intended.  This is when I began researching and found many others who wanted the same thing.  And Even several programs which would allow me to modify the phone easier.  So I began the process of Jailbreaking my phone.

Jailbreaking is distinct from unlocking, which is the process by which a mobile device is made compatible with telephone networks with which it was not specifically licensed to be used.

Apple doesn't like for End-Users to Jailbreak their phones, therefore they are always updating their Anti-Jailbreak techniques and firmware (Apple;s Iphone Updates) to try and stay ahead of the Jailbreakers. The most recent Firmware as of this writing is 3.1.2, and within just a couple of days, maybe even less, one of the Jailbreak Developers had already released a Jailbreak tool.  This program is called Blackra1n and can be found at his website .

I'm not going to give a step by step instructions on how to do this, but I am going to say that the program works and works well.  The Process start to finish was the quickest and easiest Jailbreak method I have used.  In addition, this method provides several options for adding Non-Apple Approved 3rd party software to your Iphone.

Is anyone interested in the Apps I like and use on My Jailbroked phone?  If so, let me know and I may write about them next.
