Jailbreak iPod Touch 2G/3G with OS 3.1.2/3.1.3 with Spirit (Untethered for all devices!)

iOSiPod Touch

You can finally jailbreak iPod Touch 2G or 3G with OS 3.1.2 or 3.1.3! 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.

Jailbreak iPod Touch with OS 3.1.3

  1. Download the latest version of iTunes. (9.1.1 at the time of writing)
  2. Download Spirit
  3. Run Spirit and click Jailbreak.

  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!

Once jailbroken, you can open up Cydia and download all your favorite apps and tweaks to customize your iPad touch. We regularly cover popular and must-have jailbreak tweaks and will continue to do so, so stay tuned.

If you any issues/problems with the jailbreak, don’t hesitate to leave your question in the comments below and we’ll be glad to help you out. Make sure you read the guide properly, though!

  1. Hi all,

    So the hard drive with my iTunes library crashed a while ago, and I didn't have a backup (oops, I know, that was dumb). I've got an iPod touch 64GB with 3.1.2. On several occasions, I've almost purchased CopyTrans 4 to just rebuild and get it over with, but I just haven't pulled the trigger yet. And tonight it hit me that maybe jailbreaking could work….can anyone tell me if this is a viable option? I just want to grab all my music and apps and photos and make a new library so I can sync… I know it's not a lot, but $20 is $20…

    Thanks for any advice or suggestions. :)

  2. ok so i jailbroke my ipod touch with this but any themes i try to download with winterboard won't show up after i install and select them please help

  4. hi,just downloaded the spirit and jailbreake my i touch 8gb latest version,it take a long time on the screen loading or updateing(its almost 5 mins) unable to turn it off bu pressing the power buttom??

  5. would u put the latest version of itunes on the computor of the ipod touch.

  6. I am wondering how to get 'ROCK' the app that is like cydia but has a few different things. Is this available and I am just not finding it or what?

  9. You have to use the normal app store for your normal apps. For special apps and the ones that for some reason werent allowed in the Original app store, cydia is your choice.

  10. About how long does the jailbreak process usually take?
    I'm using a 2g ipod touch runinng OS 3.1.3 on MAC osX. I ran spirit, it said it detected the ipod, I clicked jailbreak, it said jailbreaking and the ipod got the colorful screen with a progress bar. Spirit said jailbreak complete, I clicked quit. But the ipod still has the colorful screen, the status bar is full, and I have a spinning dial-ish ting in the middle of the screen. There's no indicated problem, but it's been like this for about 10 or 15 minutes. What should I do?

  12. Hi, I have a problem with SPIRIT software. I did whole process of jailbreaked my ipod touch (I have 2G with OS 3.1.3. MC model) Everything is ok,. When it finished. I've got Cydia app in mi iTouch. Apparently that's it. I have finally my MC MODEL Jailbreaked. But it is not. Because when I try to install cracked apps from iTunes I can't. Also I tried with iPhone PC Suite but it says that my ipod touch isn't jailbreaked. Same thing with iFun Box. These two softwares say that my iTouch is NOT Jailbreaked. Wierd thing.
    So, what can I do? Someone can help me?
    Thank you.

  14. If you have Cydia app on your iPhone it IS jailbroken. You wont find any help here regarding cracked apps, sorry. The problem could be with these two software I think, there's no doubt your iPhone is jailbroken.

  16. I tried blackra1n for a week but it didnt work for me; kept tethering on me. So, I tried Spirit and I am very pleased with my untethered ipod touch.

    Here is my platform: Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iTunes 9.1.1, ipod 2ndGen 3.1.2(7D11). Let me know if you guys need help.

    BIG THANKS TO THE SPIRIT TEAM

  18. hi, I have an ipod touch 64 gb 3g 3.1.3 and I have a problem with the spirit jailbreak.after my ipod rebooted, it deleted the calculator app and the app store icon in the down right corner. should I restore and try to jailbreak it again, maybe this time it doesn't do this?

  19. I jailbroke my iPod Touch with this, and everything is fine, except that I can't get the iTunes Apps I had before back on my iPod since jailbreaking it. What's wrong?

  20. OMG you dont know how many times i screwed up my ipod and my computer trying to jailbreak my ipod!!!!! Im soooo excited this worked! THANKS 5/5
