Alright, I'm too fucking old to spend my whole day trying to google this shit, so if could at least get some guidence, I would love you people for ever. There's so much conflicting information out there, and I've spent a good 9 hours trying to figure this out. I just want to a)figure out if i'm wasting my time, and b)what the hell I need to do. I can read a big guide, or follow a lot of steps, I don't care, I just want to know what it is that will work for me, so I can stop wasting my time.
Anyway, here's the deal, I recently bought an iPhone 3GS that was preloaded with firmware 3.1.2, and on baseband 05.11.07. I'm on AT&T, so I don't need an unlock, I just need to jailbreak. I tried blackra1n, and it was fine, except that apparently, one of it's "features" (which is how the developer described it), is that everytime you restart an iPhone that's Jailbroken with blackra1n, you must run blackra1n again. Your phone will forever reboot into recovery mode, unless you run blackra1n, or restore your phone. This doesn't work for me. At all. I want to be able to restart my phone when ever I need, especially if I'm jailbroken, because of the memory leaks that I'm sure will occur.
I don't have a Mac, so my next step is to find a custom jailbroken firmware, but I'm not even sure if this will work with an iPhone with a 05.11.07 baseband. Also, I have EXTREMELY slow internet, so I'd rather not download a 200+mb file, unless I'm sure it will work.
In Summary, I have a legit AT&T phone, that I want to have tethered, have a custom theme, and maybe hide a few apps (Stocks, Weather, etc.). If somebody can tell me weather the tools to jailbreak my iPhone are available, and where I need to goto to figure it out, I'd really appreciate it.
