Its my basic understanding that they both do the exact same thing, just use different methods so there shouldnt be a difference, but I just throught Id verify this.

Any problems with one method Any difference in the speed of the device (not the jailbreaking process) between the two.

Im not saying redsn0w is bad, but having to put it in DFU mode cant compare to what you do with purplerain.

Geohot made a good point apple releases then they break them and so the game goes.

Sure maybe someday Apple will come out with a unbreakable version at that point people will have to choose older versions compared too newer ones till then I want Backgrounder and stackable and a little fun customizing my phone I could care less about trying to steel apps A high priced app is 10 for most with some exceptions.99 or 1.99.

I just ordered a t-mobile sims for 6.99 to see if the phone is fully unlocked vs jb.

I first jailbroke my 3GS with the Purplera1n fix.in the early stages of the jailbreak i did see some issues that were resolved with the RC2 revision.

Without a doubt the Redsn0w jailbreak is alot tougher than making it ra1n, which for some reason to me Redsn0w seems like it could be a more in depth jailbreak.

I think that in the end it is personal preference and since none of these things are permanent you can restore back to 3.0 whenever you like.

We all know without a doubt we will hear the flaws in whichever jailbreak.

Bigups to Geohot, and Bigups to the Dev-Team because without either one of you we would NOT have Jailbreaks and we would NOT have options.

Now playing: Bob Crosby The Bobcats - WAY BACK HOME via FoxyTunes.

I read somewhere if you jailbreak with Purplera1n you cant use Winterboard and that redsn0w gives worse battery life.

I used Purplera1n and Ive noticed no change in my battery life.

What is iBEC and iBSS files Why would we need to back them up Ive done a Google search and all it said is that it is needed to update the jailbreak later on.

Can I ask what kind of stuff you guys have running Because I JBd with purplera1n as well but have noticed that my battery has suffered.
