It worked great in about 20 seconds on 3GS on O.S 3.1.2. just remember to turn off your Antivirus/Firewall and close iTunes before making it rain.
I'm happy to have so much functionality back, honestly though a lot of it should be there from the beginning. Tell me if I'm missing out on anything actually useful since I last jailbreaked with...

Ok so I upgraded my iPhone 3g to 3.1.2 and uses blackra1n on it but it keeps saying "working" even though it isn't. I have tried 3 times and all it does is put my phone in recovery mode.
@jacobwaldo2: try pulling the usb and plugging back in. that was a similar issue with purplera1n. if it fails, just try again. Hold Home and Sleep button for like 6 seconds or so if you are locked up, it'll reboot.
@aside: because you are in VMware. Use it in a full-fledged PC environment. won't work on a Mac running Parallels either. Has something to do with sharing the usb posrt, Blackra1n needs exclusiviety
So a locked iPhone is when it can only be used with one particular sim-card, correct? But what if my iPhone was purchased legitimately unlocked by my carrier right from the start (viva Europe)? Seeing as I haven't forcibly unlocked it via a jailbreak, I'm hoping it'll stay unlocked. Is this true or will I lose this ability?
@Christofer Haglund: while it's unlocked from factory, that's not a prevention that the "unlockable to date" baseband won't be upgraded. be VERY careful. I know you paid big bucks for a factory unlocked version....
This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G(S) for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G(S) doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, if your device was Pwned at 3.0 or 3.0.1 then you can use PwnageTool to create an ipsw and then use this to update and jailbreak your phone."
@Faslane's avatar is squished: He doesn't have to be "VERY careful". He'll only need a jailbreak if he wants and he can use the tools to do that for him.
@Digitallysick:
all CDMA phones can't be unlocked, and the iPhone can be unlocked legitly forever it's just that AT&T doesn't give out the unlock codes.
@Kerfudle: : CDMA can be unlocked! just not for every device. You can get a Palm Pre, Treo Pro etc. for Cricket (CDMA) all over CL in San Diego area. (not all functions work like push for instance, but they can be unlocked)
@Faslane's avatar is squished:
No you cant, its a common misconception about cdma. Yes you can alter your ecid with a bit of hackery. However, the carrier has to have the ECID, UUID, and about 40 other bits of info in their system to get the phone activated and running. This info is put into the computers way before the phone goes to the store and the store reps cant add to it. Also 99% of cdma cellproviders will not allow non-network branded phones onto their network. Another thing worth mentioning is that without more info about the networks various proxy's, you will not get internet, messaging, data, or voicemail. This easily explains it... [cellphoneforums.net]
@GitEmSteveDave_Worked4TheWeeke...: That is the most epic of your gifs I have ever seen! I only request you slow it down just a bit, it goes by a tad fast.
Will someone explain to me why you would want a multi-touch only tablet perhipheral?
No. Really. I *kinda*get the ones that allow the traditional wacom stylus as well as multi-touch, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what one would do with a giant multi-touch track pad.
I suppose it's unfair to call it a track pad, since track pads track relative movement, and this probably maps it's surface to the surface of your screen like all wacom tablets, but I'm still not totally sure why you would want that, apart from novelty or infatuation with multi-touch.
@Firebird: I find it very comfortable to use a track pad on a laptop, and find that multitouch gestures offer a very intuitive way of interacting with software. The only downside is that when touchpads are small they can feel a little cramped.
This basically allows desktop users who prefer to use a trackpad to have a nice big roomy one that supports multitouch, which is going to be something that is built in to a lot of software.
What I really want to see from WACOM is a pen that can be used on the Apple Tablet that's coming out. If WACOM did that (connecting it it blutooth maybe?) and turned the iTab or w/e into a digital sketchpad, I'd be all over that.
I have to think that the days of the screenless tablets are almost over. With the precision we are getting from touch-screens, the bandwidth from USB 3.0, and the sheer number of touch-screens causing price drops I would assume that all drawing tables would include screens, not just the uber-expensive Wacom models.
@Lizard_King: Wacom's Cintiq screens are expensive for a reason. No one else offers the same level of quality or capability as wacom. Also, it seems that including a pen digitizer costs somewhat more than just a plain touch screen, which is almost useless for art projects.
@planetarian: They are expensive now, but with the popularity of better touch-screen devices, the availability of high-quality devices like the Cintiq line at cheaper pricing may be more commonplace.
@TigerDave: I use the Cintiq in conjunction with a Monitor. No compromise on ergos, and I can't imagine going back to my old Graphire.
Yep, that's exactly what I've been waiting for; a nice big multitouch pad, and just in time for Windows 7. The option to use either finger or pen is interesting - not sure why the latter costs an addition $30, but until I see reviews of both I won't be able to decide which one is best. Probably just go for the touch pad.
@weatherman: I would imagine the Bamboo touch wouldn't have as many, if any, levels of pressure sensitivity, seeing as how it wouldn't be used for drawing, which could explain the price difference.
@Jake Lear: I see. My fear would be that the touch would suffer on the pen version then, if not for the different sensors than for the different surface. That's why, despite having called for this kind of product for a long time, I'll just have to keep my cc in my pocket until the reviews are out.
@可愛い兎: The surface of the tablet isn't pressure sensitive, but it does hold a static charge underneath the surface so that the pen can detect it. The touch-only version probably doesn't have that component.
That said, maybe it does anyway and just doesn't bother to include a pen. A replacement pen for a Wacom tablet runs you about $30, so they might just be charging you for that add-on that you could otherwise purchase separately if you wanted.
@chefgon: that charge is also what actually powers the pen, from my understanding. without it the pen will not function. however, the pen in a consumer tablet like this may simply lack the electronics required for pressure sensitivity.
Ah VZW, I can always count on you to vindicate me.
I was 90% sure that the chocolate touch wouldn't be the BL40 but the rumors were really starting to point in that direction and I was starting to regret changing providers.
Then you show up with this phone. Without a doubt the ugliest phone I've ever seen (for those wondering that "three year old drawing a square" theme is repeated on the back, but its in chrome!).
Congrats VZW! Every time I second guess leaving your company you remind me why.

On my system (both Win XP and Win 7, virtualized in VMWare) blackra1n.exe crashes miserably as soon as I press the button. It doesn’t do anything.
