After owning an iPhone for nearly two years, I finally jailbroke my iPhone. I know there are some people that jailbroke their iPhone soon after they purchased it but not me. To be honest, I was scared shitless to do it. The reason I was scared is that an iPhone costs a couple hundred dollars and I didn’t want to cough up more money if I messed up the phone.
This past weekend I went searching for the easiest way to jailbreak my iPhone and came across the Blackra1n jailbreak. I thought that jailbreaking my iPhone was going to be difficult and I was very wrong. The jailbreak only took about 30 seconds.
Here is how I did it. I downloaded the Blackra1n jailbreak to my desktop and then backed up my iPhone through iTunes. Once I was done backing up my iPhone I ran the Blackra1n jailbreak and that was it. As I said, it only took about 30 seconds to complete. If the jailbreak was successful, you should see the Geo Hot boot logo.
Then I searched on my iPhone for the Blackra1n icon and opened it up, and then I downloaded Cydia. After jailbreaking my iPhone I found myself wondering why I didn’t do this sooner. I then spent the weekend customizing my iPhone the way I wanted it.
There are a few things to keep in mind when jailbreaking the iPhone. There have been many issues with trying to jailbreak the iPhone 3G on the 3.1.2 firmware. I will put a few YouTube videos at the end of this post to guide you through the process. These videos are from different YouTube users and I thought that it would be great to include these.
The Blackra1n jailbreak will work on the iPhone and iPod touch. You can download the Blackra1n jailbreak from HERE.

Jailbreaking basically means unlocking the iPhone/iPod. You can look here for a better understanding

What did you think about the jailbreak? Was it easy to use? Did you experience any dificulties?
Ya, it was very easy to use. It took only about 20 seconds, and there were no problems or issues. Basically all it does is add a blackra1n app on your home screen. You click on that and then choose whether you want to install Cydia, Rock, or Icy. You can pick one or any number of them. After that you just go back into the blackra1n app and make it delete itself. Then your all set.
Does iphone unlocking cause some problems?

Sometimes it has become unstable but nothing major. My iPhone has reset itself a couple times but other then that it is fine.
