Jailbreak iPhone 3G/3GS with 3.1.3 or 3.1.2 with Spirit

iOSiPhone

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

  1. Download the latest version of iTunes. (9.1.1 at the time of writing)
  2. Download Spirit
  3. Run Spirit and click Jailbreak. Jailbreak iPhone 3G/3GS with 3.1.3 or 3.1.2 with Spirit If you get error code c0000005, set compatibility mode to Windows 95/Me as shown below: Jailbreak iPhone 3G/3GS with 3.1.3 or 3.1.2 with Spirit
  4. 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!

  16. Hi,
    I have iphone 3gs 3.1.2(7D11) (modem FW 5.11.07) and I had unlocked and jailbroken it with Blackra1n. But as you know, it was tethered. Is it possible for me to use spirit to jailbreak it (un-tethered) and keep my iphone unlock (as i am using some other carrier)??

  17. Yes you can , as long as you don't upgrade to OS 3.1.3. Just restore your OS using iTunes to 3.1.2 again and use Spirit to jailbreak it. You can then use blacksn0w to unlock it
