Ok so i have jailbroken many times using blackra1n but for some reason this time it wont work

idk why its not working for me because my brother just recently unlocked and jailbroke his iphone 3g using blackra1n the other

I have tried every step ive re-downloaded blackra1n numerous times, itunes is up to date, ive run the program as admin, i ran it in compatitbility mode and nothing is working it gets stuck on the plug the iphone into computer screen or it says waiting for phone


Does anyone know why this is happening😕😕😕
 
No, you dont need to sync it in order to jailbreak it.
Just run blackrain on another PC and thats all.
You dont need to open itunes or sync anything in order to jailbreak using blackrain.

but if it syncs with another computer wont all my music,contacts and etc get erased???
 
Ok all i try what you said and ill report back in like 10-15 min

Thnx so far your the only one whos decided to help me 😀
 
lol yeh you must need a new computer cos that one clearly can't jailbreak 2 phones. [/sarcasm]

it's probably just an issue with the USB drivers on your computer. You tend to find most errors are overcome by uninstalling iTunes and removing all current USB drivers for the iPhone. Or formatting to a fresh copy of your OS so everything is new anyways.

There's like a general set of instructions of what to do when you can't do something relating to having an iPhone connected to a computer. This is one of them 😛
