i tried to jb my 3gs today using blackra1n rc3...got all the expected screens....geohot picture and all...until it finished. In the end, the blackra1in icon wasn't in the iphone.

ok so i thought...tried it again, same process, same confirmation screens...and again, same results...no icon. my firmware 3.0.1 and it's an officially unlocked set.

fed up with blackrain, fortunately didn't cause any 'damage' like ur case. So i went back to redsnow (+ firmware for 3.0) and it did the job beautifully (cos i did it the last time with my 3g).

now both my 3g and 3gs using 3.0.1 jb courtesy of redsnow.

will do more research b4 going to 3.1.2, not taking the risk yet although both sets are officially unlocked sets.

oooh what an interesting suggestion... i am very very v v tempted to update 3.1.2 (via itunes? cos i sold off my macbook, can't use any customized ipsw already) then try hujan hitam again.

err...just in case, anything tak jadi i can re-do using redsnow on 3.1.2 rite? thks mates
