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. It’s a simple 1-click solution and as easy to use as blackra1n. However, Spirit will not unlock your iPhone. If you use a hacktivated iPhone, you are still better off with not upgrading to OS 3.1.3 until there’s an unlock for 05.12.01 baseband.
Also, make sure you have backed up your SHSH blobs before updating. You don’t have to really update to OS 3.1.3 to use Spirit. Using it with 3.1.2 will preserve your unlock as well as let you use an untethered jailbreak. That alone is worth the hassle of going through this guide.
Jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.2/3.1.3
- Download the latest version of iTunes. (9.1.1 at the time of writing)
- Download Spirit
- Run Spirit and click Jailbreak.
- When the jailbreak is done, the app will show you the status. Your iPhone will automatically reboot and you’ll have an untethered jailbreak! Congrats!
If your iPhone unlock gets wasted due to this guide, you didn’t read the guide properly. Don’t blame us. For all other questions, leave them in the comments below and we’ll be glad to help you.

i keep getting erra thing and i put it as win 98 compatible whats that all bout?
I have an iPhone 3G (non-jailbroken/non-unlocked) with modem firmware 05.12.01.
Will Spirit be able to jailbreak this? And will it just jailbreak and not unlock, because I only want to jailbreak, not unlock.
Thanks.
P.S what does the term untethered mean with respect to jailbreaks?
im using iphone 3gs 3.1.3 new bootrum iv tried everything it says but i keep getting a erra code coming up so whats up with this spirit thing?
I tried to jailbreak 100 times and nothing it still sends me back to the Itunes logo…. my device was already been jailbroken and unlocked with blackrain. I have 3gs new bootrom (45 week) and T-Mobile carrier, with blackrain everything worked perfectly… i did compatible with windows 98/ME and still nothing… i tried on MAC as well and still nothing still back to iTunes logo. Anyone else has the same problem?? (I am using Windows 7 64-bit) but i don't think that's the issue
Did you try doing a restore before jailbreaking?
Also, if you want to use T-Mobile, don't upgrade to 3.1.3, since there's no
unlock available yet. Try running Spirit as an administrator on Windows as
well.
i have this problem too. but i havent restore before jailbreaking.
i cant upgrade to 3.1.2 may be try to 3.1.3?
If you upgrade to 3.1.3, you wont be able to unlock your iPhone in case you
want to use it with other carriers. In that case, stick with 3.1.2 Also
restore to the default OS using iTunes ( just back up in iTunes and hit
restore ) before jailbreaking in case you had used blackra1n or redsn0w
before.
I haven’t upgraded it to 3.1.3 at all, i restored it to 3.1.2 many times and jailbroke it with blackrain again since i had to use t-mobile, still gets me back to iTunes logo. In spirit it says 3gs 3.1.2 and then i hit jailbreak it says jailbreak succeeded and restarted iphone and boom itunes logo
i have a 3gs with 3.1.3 never unlocked so can i use spirit for anythng
Yes
Just jailbroke my 3gs!huge thanks to the developers of Spirit! its great to be able to use the iphone again!
Im currently in China with a 3Gs ( USA version latest bootrom ) a few months ago I got stuck at the Apple logo, tried everything except restarting blackra1n, which now I know I should have done. I ended up doing a restore and upgraded to 3.1.3. The screen now has the emergency call, and plug in iTunes. Last few months it has been sitting in a drawer waiting for the new jailbreak. The Spirit jailbreak wont work on my phone because my phone carriers are not recognised. Does anybody have any idea how long it will be for a jailbreak that will work on my phone in China?
You should have done some research before upgrading to 3.1.3. You are now
stuck until there will be an unlock solution for the latest bootrom which
could be after iPhone 4G is released.
At that time I didnt realize the phone wouldnt work period! without a ATT sim card? I thought I would be able to use it like a iPod after restore. Plus there wasnt a lot of info out there. I did tons of searchs on how to get it working with it stuck on Apple logo, everyone pointed to restore.
So I have to wait until 4G comes out.
Do you know if I can make a copy of SHSH with the phone in its current state. I tried yesterday with AutoSHSH and unbrella tool without success.
Sorry about your situation, but it's not use making a copy of SHSH now after updating. As soon as there's an unlock, we'll cover it here.
I am in the same position as Robert. My question is this. Could a phone of this type be used in the United States as a locked phone to AT&T? I am in Canada, have an AT&T phone that I am thinking of putting on ebay with a AT&T SIM card… would this work? Or am I screwed as the phone was once jailbroken / unlocked with blackra1n?? Thanks
I was running on 3.1.2 before the attempted jailbreak, ran Spirit, now the phone is stuck on apple logo. Periodically, will it try to reboot again but just repeats the process and now sends me to the red battery with the charge symbol but will not charge. Tried to get it to connect to i Tunes, it will not so I tried to hold down the sleep button, home button and all that jazz to send me to the “Connect To iTunes” screen but again, won't. Any ideas on how to fix this baby?
