Fix for BlackRa1n stuck at the “Running…”

Geohot released BlackRa1n for iPhone 3.1.2. But many ppls report that it did NOT work.

The following is my solution, actually, I tried it for more than 30 times. So, please be patient

My condition:
Running winxp sp3 with iPhone 3G 8g black w/ 3.1.2

I tried more than 30 times and finally see Geohot’s face.

1. reboot computer
2. open the following services:Telnet, Messenger and Terminal Service
3. kill any iTune related programs:iTunes Helper. mdnsresponder, iPodService
4. turn off/hard reset your iPhone and connect to your pc via USB cable
5. run blackRa1n, click "make it rain"
6. hold power and home button of your iPhone, release power until you see Apple logo. Continue holding "Home" and you will see Geohot’s face.

I repeat steps 4-6 for more than 30 times and finally get it done.
