Spirit jailbreaks iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad with OS 3.x. It’s a userland jailbreak and has been one of the easiest to use to date. When iTunes 9.2 was released, devices jailbroken with Spirit still worked with it, but you couldn’t jailbreak devices after it was installed.

iPhone 4 Jailbroken! Userland jailbreak Coming Soon?
The speed at which progress is being made on jailbreaks and unlocks after the release of iOS 4 is quiet astounding. Just a while ago, planetbeing tweeted that he’s about to get a root shell (and SSH) on iPhone 4 using Comex’s code ( the creator of Spirit jailbreak tool ). Spirit is a userland jailbreak, so if the same code is being used for iPhone 4, then these signs point to a userland jailbreak for iPhone 4 expected soon.
Jailbreak iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad using Spirit on Linux
Spirit jailbreak was released some time ago for Windows and Mac users and allowed untethered jailbreak for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad for OS 3.x. It’s only a jailbreak solution and doesn’t provide an unlock for iPhones. Those using Linux must have felt left out since they almost never got a tool to jailbreak their iDevice from the comfort of their OS.
Fix blackra1n and Spirit Jailbreak issues with iFixer
A new utility iFixer by Kirma has been released which aims to help in fixing issues encountered when using blackra1n or Spirit jailbreak. It fixes issues such as the ASL.dll error when running blackra1n and the iTunes error when using Spirit.
Spirit Jailbreak tool updated with fixes for photo deletion and error code c0000005
As expected, after feedback on various bugs by users, Spirit Jailbreak tool has gotten its first update. This update fixes the issue where jailbreaking your iDevice automatically deleted all the photos ( honestly, you folks should have backed up using iTunes! ) and it no longer gives error code c0000005, but if it still does, you’ll have to set compatibility to Windows 95.
Make non-iPad apps run full screen (not just pixel-doubling) on the iPad!
Apple did a somewhat smart thing by allowing all iPhone/iPod Touch app to run in double the size on the iPad. Even though the apps look pixelated, they do work. Which makes one wonder, why didn’t Apple just make the apps run full screen on the iPad instead of just double their size? They look pixelated either way, but the black borders aren’t really fun to look at. Here’s a trick which lets you can make non-iPad apps run full screen on an iPad ( jailbreak required ). Trust us, they’ll actually look better.
Enable iPhone 3GS like Voice Control in iPad
Now that iPad jailbreak is out thanks to Spirit, let the modding begin! One of the coolest features of iPhone 3GS is voice control, and it’s shocking as to why Apple didn’t include it in the iPad despite equipping it with a mic. But fear not, you can get it to work on your iPad thanks to this little hack:
Jailbreak iPad OS 3.2 with Spirit
After so many jailbreak demo videos, we finally have a jailbreak in our hands for iPad OS 3.2. Spirit jailbreak has been the first one to be released to the public. Although it’s still in beta somewhat due to that fact that Cydia apps haven’t been designed for the iPad, so installing some apps might screw up the OS and require a restore. So better check up online if the Cydia app works with iPad before installing it.
Jailbreak iPod Touch 2G/3G with OS 3.1.2/3.1.3 with Spirit (Untethered for all devices!)

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.
Jailbreak iPhone 3G/3GS with 3.1.3 or 3.1.2 with Spirit
After a long wait, the jailbreak for iPhone OS 3.1.3/iPad 3.2 is finally here. Spirit is an untethered jailbreak for iPhone with OS 3.1.2/3.1.3, iPod Touch 3.1.2/3.1.3 and iPad OS 3.2.
