1 noob question.. how do i rename the 3.1.2 ispw file??
is in .rar but when i go to "rename" there's only the .ispw but no .rar for me to delete... i can't run the restore = ="

windows vista ? try again using ur home pc ....may be it would help u....

Office notebook is on Win XP but I read somewhere blackra1n does not work on virtualized environment. My notebook is encrypted if stolen data cannot be retrieved, probably this is the one causing the issue something like virtualized. I will try on home PC and see.

BTW, say if I am normally plugged in to my notebook iTunes to sync contacts, calendar etc..can I still plug in my phone to my home PC iTunes to restore in the event if something happens?. Since all the data is on my notebook, just wondering.

Thanks.

u can restore from backup with ur office laptop since ur backup is in ur laptop but if u afraid something would happen i suggested u to used 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Utilityhere(need to install ssh) to backup (easy to restore back)all importance data that u need...or u can do it manually by using winscp here(need ssh installed on or phone) or iphonebrowserhere(usb)....but before u do something regarding what i have wrote....google it first....because i'm afraid i will misguide u ...or u can ask a better guru....

For those with the newest 3GS model, where ur seriel number, 4th and 5th digit are 41 and above, means u have the new bootrom thingy, which means is the so-called tethered jailbreak.

so when u reboot or shutdown or installed app that requires rebooting, u will go into recovery mode and can't do anything but dun panic. Just execute the blackra1n again and make it rain, it will reboot it back as before. So while u are outside, dun simply install app that reboots or turn off ur iPhone.

Another problem is that, sometimes can become No Service and cannot do anything. To steps to solve it is to take out ur sim card and insert back while ur iPhone is still turned on. This is for the case if u are outside and don't have computer. So must always bring a pin around. If you have computer with you, u can shutdown it down, then blackra1n boot it up and can get ur network already..

Hope this helps, anyone got any fix or solution, please share ya. I read in some post saying turn off and on the 3G, Edge or Airplane mode, but all no use

firmware file is in .ipsw extension at the end. As you said it is is .rar (assume it is .ipsw.rar), then just remove the .rar.
You can't rename probably it does not show when you try to rename it. Try the below method (Tools > Options)
