The first ever iPhone 3GS jailbreak application has finally been released by long-time Apple hacker, George Hotz. It’s currently Windows-only (7 not supported), the latest iTunes installed, and an iPhone 3GS with the 3.0 firmware. The process was amazingly simple.
To get started right now, go to purplera1n.com. Download it. Make sure you have windows (but not 7), the latest iTunes installed, and an iPhone 3GS with 3.0 firmware. Connect your iPhone normally. Click "make it ra1n". Wait. On bootup, run Freeze, the purplera1n installer app. Hopefully you'll figure out what to do from there. Best tutorial gets linked to from purplera1n site. This tool is beta. Make sure to have everything backed up before running. Also if Cydia doesn't show up after running Freeze, reboot.
Despite it doesn't unlock the iPhone 3GS, but at least jailbreak it so that unofficial third-party apps can be installed and enjoyed on your new iPhone 3GS.
The jailbreak for Mac is coming soon, George writes.

The jailbreak is only for windows xp and doesnt work for vista at all… also by being a beta winterboard and sbsettings dont work at all… dont attempt this if you can wait on the dev team…
What do you mean it doesnt work for vista? It doesn’t work with vista 64 bit but it does work with vista 32 bit operating systems. Mine is jailbroken with my dad’s 32 bit computer and it works fine. And what do they mean it doesn’t unlock the phone. You can download ultrasn0w right off of cydia and it works with the 3gs. Mine is working great like I already mentioned.
@3gs lover
SBSettings works fine for me.
I used this process to jailbreak and actually unlock the iPhone 3GS … But the signal is not stable… But will try to troubleshoot this problem but I could still call and also surf the web with tmobile edge … Am happy but sad!!! Lol
Not too sure about this one gonna be waiting for the dev team
Fucking ass hole got kicked from dev team so he leaks his own…
saurik already said hes not making anything for this one lol
Mine works great. 16GB 3Gs installed with Vista and I have SB settings. so all you knuckle heads out there, read the dam instructions!!!!! the only thing that doesnt work as of yet is winterboard.
