GeoHot has released RC3 of BlackRa1n jailbreak for iPhone. So, In this guide you will learn how to jailbreak iPhone and iPod Touch on OS 3.1.2 using BlackRa1n for Windows.
NOTE
- BlackRa1n jailbreaks all iPhones and iPod Touch models
- BlackRa1n jailbreak will work with the latest 3.1.2 firmware. So Update to Latest iPhone OS 3.1.2 first.
- Now BlackRa1n RC3 features BlackSn0w that will let you unlock your iPhone even Baseband 05.11.07 is unlockable now.
- BlackRa1n also Jailbreaks iPod Touch 3G but it’s a tethered jailbreak. Which means whenever you would restart your Touch or it turns OFF because of empty battery then you will need to rerun BlackRa1n.
In the end, usual warning applies: Use it on your Own.
Jailbreak iPhone, iPod Touch using BlackRa1n RC3
- Update your iTunes to latest version.

For those with a new iPhone 3GS (updated Bootrom), BlackRa1n only supports a tethered jailbreak. This means that once jailbroken you should not let your battery die. If it does die you will need to reconnect it to the computer and use BlackRa1n to boot it.

I followed your guide to the letter, then also read all the comments for suggestions to fix, but still i get the same problems.
I run blackrain and get the recovery mode, to which i get the connect to itunes graphic on my phone. I then took your suggestion to un plugging, and replugging and running blackrain again, but now all black rain says is finding device. I left it for half an hour and no change.
I have done it 3 times now, same issue. Any more suggestions?
you have to plug your iphone wait itunes before running blackra1n and keep itunes opened all time
