Complete Jailbreak Guide

[Dialexio]

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.

Unless you want a soft unlock or hacktivation for your 3G(S).

In that case, use 3.1.2 or lower (if possible).

How decent is a Jailbroken iPod Touch 3G? I'm considering buying an iPod Touch to replace my ailing Creative Zen and like the sound of jailbreaking it to gain access to NES emulators etc. Being entirely inexperienced with itunes I have a few questions. How easy would it be to remove the jailbreak should I need to return the iPod (I'm sure Apple MUST check them somehow)? How much danger does this pose to the iPod? How decent is the homebrew scene on iPods?

As stated in one of my previous posts, covering up your tracks is as simple as clicking the "Restore" button in iTunes. Jailbreaking poses absolutely no danger; worst case scenario, you'll need to restore to Apple's original firmware.

There isnt a homebrew scene because of the third party app developer

But there are loads of third party apps to buy (or download

)

I meant what unsigned (i.e. unofficial) apps are available for a Jailbroken iPhone.

Emulators up to N64/PSX

Themes, multi-tasking, changing the springboard layouts, new carriers, unlocks...

The list goes on

Can your Ipod/Iphone be jailbroken?

Not every Ipod/Iphone can be jailbroken but the majority can. If you are unlucky enough to have one that can't then don't complain. There will eventually be a jailbreak made available for these it will just take time. People are always working on new ways to achieve the jailbreak ( For example the famed GeoHot ), it's not an easy task so be patient, they will come through for you.

Jailbreakable
- Ipod Touch 1g up to firmware 3.1.3
- Ipod Touch 2g up to firmware 3.1.3
- Ipod Touch 2g ( MC model ) up to firmware 3.1.2
- Ipod Touch 3g up to firmware 3.1.2
- Iphone 2G, 3G up to firmware 3.1.3
- Iphone 3Gs up to firmware 3.1.2

I can confirm, that my ipod touch 2g MC model with 3.1.3 firmware is jailbroken with spirit.
It is untethered and works.

Edit: you made a typo

Barring any additional measures implemented in the software prior to release (or hardware-side on the iPhone 4).

Quick question can the 3.1.3 IPhone 3GS be Jailbroken via Spirit? on Itunes 9.2 nonbeta version

Quick question can the 3.1.3 IPhone 3GS be Jailbroken via Spirit? on Itunes 9.2 nonbeta version

Spirit doesn't work with iTunes 9.2. Here are the links for 9.1.1, if you need them.
Mac - 32-bit Windows - 64-bit Windows

You will have to uninstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support.

Complete Jailbreak Guide

This guide is not complete and won't be for some time but I will try my best to update for all processes and I hope this helps a few people.

All these guides are for windows unless specified

now if only my stupid MC model worked with this guide but it is on 4.0 and apple won't let me downgrade

 

[jalaneme]

can anyone give me any info on how to backup my firmware? i am on 3.1.3 itouch 3g 64gb i have tried umbrella and it says i cannot back it up, cydia just keeps pending, is there any other way to do it manually, also is there a guide to show you how to restore to your original firmware 3.1.3 just incase my itouch goes wrong? thanks.

 

[Dialexio]

If you haven't backed up the SHSH blobs for 3.1.3 (via Cydia or Umbrella), you're out of luck. Apple stopped giving the signatures out with the release of iOS 4.0.

 

[jalaneme]

so i am screwred then? dam

Took another look at the guide, and the downgrading information provided at "Downgrading you Ipod Touch 2g (MC Model ) 8gb only from 3.1.3 to 3.1.2" won't work. Downgrading requires the use of "DFU Mode."

To enter DFU Mode, plug your iPod into your computer, and turn it off. Press and hold the Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds, then let go of the Sleep button. Keep the Home button down (!!!) until your computer identifies your iPod as "Apple Mobile Device (DFU Mode)." Then you can restore the iPod touch 2G from 3.1.3 to 3.1.2.

(This should also work for downgrading from iOS 4.0. So if someone had an itchy mouse finger on the "Update" button, this should alleviate the lack of an untethered jailbreak.)
