Make it rain, or ra1n that is. The jailbreaking crowd will be pleased to know that they can now hack their iPhone with OS 3.1.2 using the newly released blackra1n (that’s blackrain with a 1 instead of the i) utility. The free app runs through a quick stepped process and does all the magic you need to unlock your device up 3rd party apps via Cydia or Installer. The blackra1n app is described as a “30 second ALL device 3.1.2 jailbreak. Even the ipt3, but the ipt3 is tethered. In order to boot it, just rerun blackra1n.” blackra1n works with iPhone and iPod touch 1G, 2G, and 3G models.

Important: blackra1n does *not* unlock aka “hacktivate” your device to use with non-standard carriers. It only gives your 3.1.2 a jailbreak. If you wish to use unsupported carriers with your 3.1.2 OS, avoid this tool and use PwnageTool 3.1.4 from the dev team.

For more information on the Blackra1n app check out the developer’s blog and twitter page.

Use iPhone mods and hacks at your own risk! Installing 3rd Party iPhone apps requires you to jailbreak the iPhone before installing the native software and apps. Browse the full list of all iPhone and iPod touch native 3rd party apps filed under the software category.
