Are you going to add Spirit?

Are you going to add Spirit?

Yeah I've used spirit, worked awesome

 

[alidsl]

To every one asking about a spirit guide I decided to make a small picture-less one, for mac and windows

1. Make sure your iphone is on and activated (lockscreen or springboard)
2. Plug your iphone in
3. If your iphone is already on a tethered jailbreak, sync then restore your iphone (you can use 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 FW), then (if you want) backup your Cydia apps using pkgbackup, if you haven't yet jailbroken your iphone then go to the next step.
5. download spirit from http://www.spiritjb.com/
6. Run spirit and click on jailbreak, Spirit will only take a second or 2 to work, if the error c0000005 appears try running in windows 95 compatibility mode
7. Your iphone will reboot and go onto a purpley starry screen while loading after the apple logo
8. Jailbreak

Note: No custom logos

 

[Krove]

Yeah, I used spirit for my Ipod Touch firmware 3.1.2. It worked and no tethering

, which was the main reason I hadn't jailbroken up until now.

@Danny600kill: can you put after the guide if anyone (who hasn't yet used spirit) to take screenshots for the Spirit guide

 

[Danny600kill]

@Danny600kill: can you put after the guide if anyone (who hasn't yet used spirit) to take screenshots for the Spirit guide

I will be using it on the weekend for a friend so I will screen shot it then, thanks for the guide and other help

 

[alidsl]

change the "is your ipod/iphone Jailbreakable?"

to All untethered because of spirit

 

[prowler]

You need to update this guide completely Danny, some stuff contradicts others.

If you want, I can help with making it look more 'nicer' when I have some time free.

 

[Opium]

Okay. So what do I do if I want to unjailbreak? My iPod is jailbroken but I'd like to unjailbreak it. Is that done through the restore button in iTunes? If so, can I keep all my app game data like save files etc?

 

[Twiffles]

Yeah, it should work that way, Opium. At least it worked out that way for me.

 

[alidsl]

not all saves, but if you wait for 3.1.4 to come out, all you have to do is update and save you the problem of syncing again and losing saves

 

[Opium]

So if I update with a later firmware that comes out it will remove all the custom/homebrew stuff? I might wait then.

 

[alidsl]

Yeah your jailbreak will be completely removed without going through restoring and syncing again

 

[Dialexio]

In the days of firmware 1.x (I'm quite sure this still applies, though), the update button in iTunes would merely cover up the jailbreak (Cydia and WinterBoard would be out of sight), but they wouldn't be deleted. (Read: Traces are left behind.) Unfortunately, iPhone/iPod touch backups from a jailbroken device can also contain remnants of the jailbreak (i.e.- customized carrier name, preferences for WinterBoard).

Bottom line: I'd suggest performing a restore if you want the jailbreak completely eliminated.

Well I just updated from 3.1.2 with blackra1n to 3.1.3. Then I did Spirit and everything worked. Everything is running fine.

That's because you updated, not restored.

 

[Opium]

Okay, I did a restore on my iPod touch and it used one of my backups to restore. Now the Jailbreak is completely gone and all my app data was saved to, so I still have all my save games, which is awesome

 

[neokingster]

I heard somewhere that spirit only works on 32 bit systems is that true?

 

[Opium]

Nope. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and it worked fine.
