Great tutorial.
However, I'm encountering the following problem.
I have a factory unlocked 3gs 16gb with 3.0.1.
After running purplerain and receiving the success message (Windows PC), I saw that I did not have any new icnon on my iphone.
The purplerain log file shows the following:

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
Sorry, I know this is probably somewhere in the threads but... jailbroke my 3GS... using purple snow. (didnt want to start from scratch with red snow).. now WiFi doesnt work... any ideas?
You should just wait for the new jailbreak for 3.1 and restore your phone but if you really want to do a jailbreak for 3.0.1 then Redsnow is the only software that works and not Purplerain.
purplera1n does not work on versio 3.0.1 but redsnow will.
you need an XP machine i could not get it to work on vista. dl the files on an xp machine and jailbreak from that and it works
This purplera1n is GARBAGE! I have tried using it and it freezes when it is rebooting. I have not had any problem using redsn0w, however, I was trying purplera1n because my phone kept crashing when I downloaded Winterboard/Mobliesubstrate using redsn0w. I figured using purplera1n would allow me to install Winterboard, bit, it keeps freezing up. I have restored more then 4 times and purplera1n DOES NOT WORK. If anyone can help, great, if not, GEOHOT, your program SUCKS. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but, back to the Dev-Team I go.

After all this, it will not reboot...it stays with that guy picture forever....what do I do?
I did install the newest version of firmware..stupid....Please Help....
i stupidly installed the new update for the iphone 3gs and it wiped my jailbreak clean. now when i try via PurpleRa1n it gets to the point where its waiting on a reboot but it does nothing? anyone know how to get it back up again?
