Jailbroken already? Using blackra1n? Or jailbreaking for the first time?
Well the Dev Team have just released redsn0w 0.9 public beta, their latest jailbreak tool which has been updated to suit all devices on 3.1.2 firmware, as well as a jailbreak tool, it installs Cydia and also gives you the option to add custom boot / recovery logos, this is what a lot of us have been waiting for, and a lot of users also prefer Dev Team jailbreaks because they claim its a cleaner, more complete jailbreak!
The only bad news, if you own an iPhone 3GS with new bootrom, or an iPod Touch late 2G or 3G, its still a tethered jailbreak only for you guys, fingers crossed this might be addressed in the future.
NOTES ;
a) You must be running 3.1.2 firmware on your device
b) You must download the following to your desktop before starting ;
Custom boot / recovery logos if wanted
c) I would recommend you do a full restore in iTunes before jailbreaking
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ;
1. Connect your device to your pc via usb cable
( Close iTunes if it opensand cancel sync )
2 Run redsn0w
3. Browse for the firmware on your desktop
4. A message will now pop up, THIS IS IMPORTANT ;
If you are using an iphone 3gs with new bootrom, or an ipod touch 3g or late 2g, you must select YES, this is for a tethered jailbreak!
If you are running any other device, select NO, this is for an untethered jailbreak!
5. Select next
6. Now check the following boxes only ;

8. Your device now needs to go into recovery so ;
