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.

Ok, so i restored at least 10 times 3.1.2 to factory settings and then i jailbrake it with blackrain and unlocked my carrier, then i started spirit and again it just rebooted my device and boom iTunes logo showed up, every time that happen. So, i think its kind of impossible to jailbreak 3.1.2 t-mobile to be untethered? What's your opinion?
my scare: same as you described. i have 313. i held both buttons and the phone would reboot and stay @ apple logo. i didnt let go of both buttons and eventually got the recovery screen (connect to itunes). luckily i was able to recover. it recovered slower than prior to spirit. i was scared but it seems ok now although no longer jailbroken.
people, even if u have a 3.1.3 running on the newest base band u can still use redsnow to jailbreak!!! i did it myself and it is really really siple.. there is a kid on ou tube who does it step by step so you can do it while you are watching him… all you have to do is download a 3.1.2 that you will be using to jailbreak!!! DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!!!
Well I have a problem, i'm on 3.1.3 3Gs firmware and when I booted up my phone, it got stuck on the “emergency call” thing. Any idea how to fix?
I have iPhone 3gs 3,1,2 unlocked. I want to get rid of the Connect to Itunes screen everytime I restart. So I just hit the restore button from iTunes and run spirit then Install unlock from cydia?
ok i messed something up, everything was fine with my non jailbroken 3.1.3 3Gs…then i attempted to have some fun with spirit now im stuck on the apple logo and im kind of stressed… i tunes dosnt seem to want to restore the phone and when i try a “hard reset” the screen turns off then goes right back to that dreaded apple logo as soon as i let off the buttons, like i said it was a non jailbroken ATT 3.1.3 3gs, now its nothing, any suggestions?

does anyone have that problem…no proper gps fix and redscreen everytime my phone goes off..
Yup
Yes
Same thing here…I'm so stressed out about this. I rely heavily on my phone now wishing I hadn't messed with it. I've jailbroken in the past though and never had a problem. Any news on this one?

i am having the same problem…can anyone help

hi all,
I have a problem. I have jailbreak my iPhone 3GS 3.1.2 with BlackRa1n and unlocked it. It was tethered jailbreak. Then I tried to jailbreak again with SPIRIT for untethered jailbreak. But the phone hangs in connect to itunes mode. It is not booting up. As am totally new to iphone i donno what to do next. Please help. What should I do next to get my iPhone working?
I'm using iPod touch 2G OS 3.1.3 (as indicated by Spirit itself), managed to jailbreak it successfully, but i couldn't download Cydia. What kind of jailbreak is this? What can i do to get Cydia?
I have an i phone 3Gs which used 3.1.2. I unlocked it with blackra1n and had a tethered jailbreak. I wanted to use Spirit to get an untethered jailbreak and when i ran it, it didn't work. My phone is now permanently in the connect to itunes screen. I tried to run blackrain again, and the application begins, then during the resboot it quits for some reason. Then I get the application keeps quitting unexpectedly popup. I REALLY don't want to restore my fun and I DEFINITELY don't want to upgrade to 3.1.3. Any suggestions???
I'm pretty confused with the comments here. I'm using an officially unlocked iPhone 3G, recently restored to factory settings (3.1.3), so is it possible to jailbreak with Spirit?
Yup, you can jailbreak your iPhone with Spirit.
