Complete Jailbreak Guide

[neokingster]

Did you need to set compatibility mode to windows 95? If so how do you do that?
Also how do you set a backup?

 

[neokingster]

Wow so easy. Thanks for the guide.

 

[Dialexio]

To use Compatibility Mode, right-clicking on Spirit.exe, then select "Properties", and go into the "Compatibility" tab.

Apple makes restores for the iPhone 3GS and newer devices contact Apple's servers for a signature (the SHSH blob). Apple does this to try and prevent people from downgrading, which usually results in jailbreaking. (iPod touch 2G and earlier can downgrade freely, but they're game over for Apple, anyways.)

Backing up these SHSH blobs will let you downgrade at any given time. To do this, you can use Firmware Umbrella. (GUIDE) Cydia will also prompt you to back it up if applicable, so be sure to let Cydia "Make my life easier"!

You might also want to set up your computer to redirect the SHSH blob request to go to the Cydia servers. (This is a bit on the advanced side, you've been warned.)

OK thanks for that it really helped. I'll get it done when I can then

I have a few questions to ask.

1. Is the Jailbreak reversible?

2. If you do reverse the Jailbreak, does it clear all logs of the Jailbreak meaning the iPod/iPhone becomes fully 'legit' again.

 

[Dialexio]

[*]Yes. Just use iTunes's restore button.[*]Yes. A restore totally wipes out everything.

 

[raiderscrusade]

Haha that is legendary.

So tempted to blackra1n my iPhone 3GS.

Why don't you just jailbreak it then?

 

[Xoo00o0o0o]

You need to add the Spirit Jailbreak. The untethered jailbreak for 3gs.

1 thing i've noticed


what do u do when the app loads and then waks 2 a screen that says

"non genuine device detected"

the only thing that can be done then is go back 2 the homescreen, the app wont boot u gotta delete it

if i remember correctly, it was "stick skater"

The developer implemented additional anti-piracy code. You'll have to either wait for a patch (if one is coming) or buy it.

 

[DeMoN]

I noticed that too. I can't believe a $0.99 cent game has better AP than Chaos Rings and Grand Theft Auto.

 

[alidsl]

It might be the devs code that does it, he may have written a lot of other apps so is ap protecting them

Great guide, however as a general guideline...

1. Upgrade to 3.1.3 (or 3.2.x, depending on your iDevice)
2. Download Spirit
3. Plug in your iDevice and launch Spirit.
4. Click Jailbreak.
5. ???
6. Profit!

Again, very good guide. It's nice and informative, and I like the effort you put into it.

 

[alidsl]

for some people lower than 3.1.3 redsn0w is better because of custom boot logos

I think spirit makes the current blackra1n build useless
