205 Comments

As expected, the untethered jailbreak for iPod Touch 2G/3G with OS 3.1.2/3.1.3 is finally here. Spirit is an untethered jailbreak for iPhone with OS 3.1.2/3.1.3, iPad OS 3.2 and iPod Touch 3.1.2/3.1.3. It’s as easy to use as blackra1n. Finally, you’ll be able to upgrade to the latest OS and jailbreak it without having to deal with the tethered jailbreak problems which required you to jailbreak it again on every reboot.

It doesn’t matter if your iPod Touch model is MC or non-MC, Spirit just works! It even works with 3.1.2, so you don’t really need to upgrade your OS. Make sure you’ve backed up your SHSH blobs before jailbreaking though. Better safe than sorry.

  1. Download the latest version of iTunes. (9.1.1 at the time of writing)
  2. Download Spirit
  3. Run Spirit and click Jailbreak. Spirit (2)If you get error code c0000005, set compatibility mode to Windows 95/Me as shown below: Spirit Properties
  4. When the jailbreak is done, the app will show you the status. Your iPod Touch should automatically reboot and you’ll have an untethered jailbreak! Congrats!
