GeoHot, the hacker behind the first iPhone 3GS jailbreak, posted the RC2 version of Purplera1n. When it first came out yesterday, PurpleRa1n only supported Windows XP SP2 32 Bit. It’s now been updated and along with other improvements, it supports Vista and Windows 7.
Vista, Windows 7, International, 64-bit support
Less flakiness in the payload
Cydia tar cleaned up
Improved logging with slightly more useful errors
New kernel patches, codesign errors gone. Props posixninja
Added vm_map +x, passed vm_check
No winterboard yet, but now that ball is in Saurik’s court :-)
Still in beta, use caution
WinterBoard still won’t work but there is some major improvements. Use at your own risks!
