Got it working!
ATTENTION! I found out how to get it working, and it's a stupidly simple fix. I tried 10+ times, and would get the frozen while "running" error everyone else has had. I'm not promising this will fix everyones issues, but this got me past the "USB -> iTunes" icon stage where it sits forever.
Simple solution: Have iTunes running. My specs: iPhone 3G, Firmware 3.1.2 Windows XP SP3 1) Connect iphone to computer via USB 2) Launch iTunes and minimize it 3) Launch Blackra1n and click the "make it rain button" 4) iTunes will most likely give you an error, just click "ok" 5) Enjoy! Worked instantly for me. Before this method, I would have iTunes closed and it would just hang on the "USB -> iTunes" forever. The moment I tried the process with iTunes running it worked perfectly. Hope this helps. Last edited by ButtChew; 10-12-2009 at 01:45 PM.. |

Mine didn't say that, but it said something about iTunes and missing drivers. I just ignored it as well and it was fine.
