Download our custom firmware using the onscreen instructions and links provided on this page. Save the ipsw file to somewhere you can easily remember! (i.e Your desktop or downloads folder)
Download and install the following tools...
Open iReb on your computer as administrator on windows machines, or normally on Macintosh computers by double clicking it. Follow the on screen instructions in iReb which will lead you through the process of selecting your device, and holding a combination of buttons which will put your device into a state known to the community as "Pwned DFU" mode. This simply means the device will be ready to accept our custom firmware file which we have created for you. Once iReb tells you that your device is ready and in PWND DFU mode, you may then open iTunes and continue on to step #4.
Inside iTunes, you will be alerted that a device in recovery mode has been detected and that you must restore it in order to continue using it. On windows machines, hold shift while you click the restore button. On Macintosh computers, hold the ALT key while doing so. A window will appear telling you to select a file. This is when you must select our custom firmware file. Once selected, iTunes will run through the install process of Bl4ck0ut 7 onto your device. When it reboots, you are ready to use Bl4ck0ut 7!
Released to the public one year after the iPhone 2G and advertised as "Twice as fast, half the price", this device is still alive in our hearts and thanks to custom firmware teams, our hands too!
Bl4ck0ut 7 is available for the iPhone 3G in two flavours, a Normal Version which is meant for people who use their device as a regular phone and have a SIM card to activate the device, and an Unlocked Version for people who use the device as an iPod replacement and don't have a SIM card to unlock the device. The unlocked version can be downloaded by clicking here.
