Trouble jailbreaking 3rd Gen with Blackra1n

Hey, ive got an ipod touch 3rd generation, firmware 3.1.2 and ive been trying to jailbreak it with the application Blackra1n on my mac...

Anyways when i run Blackra1n, my ipod will go to the screen with the cord telling me to connect to itunes instead of showing a picture of Geohot.. then it doesnt reboot...

something is wrong with jailbreaking it but it could be that im just doing something wrong cause i am new to the ipod touch world.. i just got the touch 32 gig yesterday... PLZZZ HELP ME!!!!

 

Which version does it read on blackra1n? When you open blackra1n does it read RC1, RC2, RC3 or what?

 

its the latest rc3, but like ive tried doing alot but it just stops at the itunes recovery screen on the ipod and says jailbreak is complete on the computer... im really confused cause its obviously not done.

 

So you can't start it up after this jailbreaking process and you need to restore it, right?

 

i dont have to restore it.. i can just hold power and home for 10 seconds and it will turn off. i have done it like 20 times... no luck. no picture of geohot, just the itunes recovery thing... have you got any ideas?

 

Did you try scrolling to the right in the menu? blackra1n will appear there if anywhere

 

It's not there... I have a third gen... So even if it did work it is tethered.. And when I get the recovery screen I have no choice but to turn it off... Sooo it wouldn't be there

 

Did you turn off Itunes helper in taskmanager first

 

I have a mac..... There is no taskbar, there's something called startup disk, and yes I turned it off and still didn't work... Maybe you should look at the older posts ^^^

 

I am also having the same problem but I am using windows xp and after it tells me to connect to iTunes the screen just turns black and stays the same until I reboot the iPod. Also when the screen turns black it shows me or tells me that it is done.
