you have to go into your folder options and uncheck “hide extensions for know file types” if you have vista its organize, folders and search options, then select the view tab, go down to the “hide extensions for know files” uncheck it hit apply and you may have to highlight the file for the firmware and take out .zip and put.ipsw. that should do it. I was having the same problems for along time till someone should me that lil trick and it worked. oh and the file is in your downloads folder. if your on a mac cant help ya. google it to find out how. hope this helps

I used PurpleRa1n too and am not having any problems whats so ever. I’m using winterboard….live clock…Five Icon Dock…Five column Springboard…Icy…..sbsettings(poof)….statusnotifier…RandomRing and still have 124mb free. I would use PurpleRa1n 4 now and do some research before updating to 3.1 when its released.

I also used purplera1n…it reminds me of the old ziphone jailbreak. Gotta love a one click solution! I love having my 3GS jailbroken and unlocked for that day when I decide to sell it on ebay as I did with my 2g and 3g phones. EASY MONEY! I did go ahead and use ECID, iBEC and iBSS grabber to get the files needed just incase of later use.

I’m satisfied with the Purplera1n JB. Winterboard works now, so who cares what tool was used. In the “old days” when the 2G iPhone was all the rage, a kid named AriX came up with a brilliant, seamless and very simple JB and unlock tool. AriX helped in some of the development for Purplera1n. The Dev-Team solutions are complex and demanding. Hopefully, there will be continued development of Purplera1n, and this is not a one shot deal.

Good luck with that. I’ve asked a hundred questions on this site and NEVER had an answer. I’d help you if I could. If only everyone else thought that way.

Yes, PR is very simple. I jailbroke my old 3G las night using redsn0w and it is much more stable and full featured that PR. Hopefully redsn0w for the 3GS will be the same. Does anyone know it supports winterboard and all that other stuff yet?
