Geohot stated earlier on twitter that due to testing going so well, he was going to bring sn0wday forward by a day, blacksn0w and RC3 blackra1n will now be released on 03/11/09, with an estimated release time at noon. So you aint got long to wait!
As you will all know, blacksn0w is the unlock tool, and blackra1n is the jailbreak tool.
Here is a list of the main new features ;
a) Unlocks the 05.11.07 baseband
b) Enables internet tethering on 3.1.2
c) 15 second speed increase on jailbreak
d) Hacktivation support
e) Tiger+PPC support
There will be a few different ways to update or install depending on what state your device is at currently ;
1. If you are a new jailbreaker, just about to upgrade to 3.1.2, then download the blackra1n tool to your pc desktop, and run jailbreak. After jailbreak you will have blackra1n.app on your springboard, open this and notice that as well as an option to install Cydia or Rock, there will now also be blacksn0w, if you want to unlock just select this, easy.
2. If you are already jailbroken with blackra1n and still have the blackra1n.app on your springboard, open this and notice Icy will now be replaced with ra1n, select this to update the software on your device. If you also want to unlock, open app again and now blacksn0w will be present, select this to run unlock.
3. If you are already jailbroken, but have deleted blackra1n.app, or have used pwnage tool, never fear, blacksn0w will be released via Cydia also later today.
Please remember to donate to Geohot via his blog to show support for all his hard work!
