I downloaded voipover3g to make Skype calls over 3g but Skype is onto the game. Gave me a message that I can’t make sykpe calls over 3g due to contractual rules. Does anyone know a way to sidestep this?

dear sir, I have installed blackra1n and downloaded cydia normally and have also purchased installous. despite this I can’t install games that are hacked or any apps. it can only be done through installous and evenso sometimes the games that I download makes my phone restart and forces me to connect it to iTunes and restore it as I cannot use the phone.. This has happened 4 times already. Do you mind helping me please?

Purplera1n crashes as soon as you tap “make it ra1n”. Your Apple mobile device service is not running. On Windows press windows + r and type “services.msc” into the run box and hit enter. Then locate the Apple Mobile Device service and right click, say “start”.

I have checked my Apple Mobile devise service , changed it to to Start but it still crashes, any suggestions?

Hi guys,

First of all for Cho….i was experiencing the same thing. I found that by pluggng the iphone into the comp and then closing down Itunes and then running Blackra1n it worked (blackra1n is for the 3.1.2 firmware. My device is a 3gs running 3.1.2, 05.11.07 – brand new model purchased on orange on the 10th November 2009).

Secondly for Richerd….i’m guessing your device is from the same batch as mine then. The jailbreak will work but in my case it seems to be a tethered jailbreak (which means eveytime the phone is turned off you need to plug it into the computer and run the jailbreak software to turn it back on). The phone is actually my girlfriends and she didnt like the idea of that so I restored it back to factory settings.

Has anyone mananged to jailbreak their iphone 3gs running 3.1.2, 05.11.07 untethered?
