Spirit Jailbreak Fix for iTunes 9.2 on iOS 3.1.3 for iPhone and iOS 3.2 for iPad

The best and the most easiest jailbreak tool has just been updated (unofficially?) to bring support for iTunes 9.2. Earlier when Apple released the final version of iTunes 9.2, it broke the compatibility with Spirit and so this new version brings the required fix to make it compatible with iTunes 9.2. However no new feature has been added. It still does not work with iOS 4 and iPhone 4. Only iOS 3.1.3 and 3.1.2 for iPhone 3GS, 3G, 2G, iPod touch, and iOS 3.2 for iPad is supported.

Instructions are still the same. You can follow our complete step by step guides to jailbreak your iPad, iPhone 3GS, 3G, 2G and iPod touch 3G/2G on 3.1.3 using Spirit.

• How to Jailbreak iPad on iOS 3.2 with Spirit
• How to Jailbreak iPod touch 3G and 2G on iOS 3.1.3 with Spirit

For those of you with iPhone 3GS (new bootrom), iPod touch 2G (MC model) and iPod touch 3G who upgraded to iOS 4, only to find out that you cant jailbreak it back can actually downgrade back to iOS 3.1.3 and then jailbreak it using Spirit. Step by step guide for downgrading your iOS device from iOS 4 to iOS 3.1.3 can be found here (works only if you have SHSH blobs saved for 3.1.3).

Recover Deleted Photos from iPhone / iPad After Spirit Jailbreak

The initial release of Spirit had this bug, which accidently deleted all photos from the iDevice which you used to jailbreak with it. If you were wise enough to make a backup before jailbreaking your device, you can now recover it using iPhone Backup Extractor.
Follow the step by step guide posted below to recover your deleted photos from iPhone, iPad or iPod touch after jailbreaking it with Spirit.
Step 1: Install OpenSSH on your device. Instructions for installing OpenSSH on iPad can be found here, and for iPhone/iPod touch can be found here.
Step 2: Download and install iPhone Backup Extractor.
(Download links: Windows 32-bit, 64-bit – Mac OS X)
Step 3: Run iPhone Backup Extractor and select the last backup which you made before jailbreaking your device using Spirit.
Step 4: Navigate to Media/Media/DCIM and select this folder. Click ‘Next’ to save the files locally on your hard drive.

Step 5: Download and install Cyberduck for Mac or WinSCP for Windows. Enter the following details to login to your iPad:

Cyberduck

• Server: The IP address of your iPad. Settings –> WiFi –>
• Username: root
• Password: alpine
• Protocol: SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)

WinSCP

• Hostname: The IP address of your iPad. Setting –> WiFi –>
• User name: root
• Password: alpine
• Protocol: SCP

Step 6: Navigate to /User/Media/ directory and copy over the folder DCIM folder which you just extracted from the backup and to this location.

Step 7: Reboot your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch.
That’s it ! you should now have all your photos back like you did before Spirit jailbreak.

Download Spirit to Jailbreak iPhone 3.1.3, iPad 3.2, iPod touch 3G

The all-in-one untethered iDevice jailbreak for iPhone 3.1.3, iPad 3.2 and iPod touch 2G/3G is finally here. Available for both Windows and Mac OS X, Spirit is a userland jailbreak but it does not work out-of-the browser as previously thought. It is in fact a simple one click app, like Blackra1n which can jailbreak (not unlock) any Apple iDevice on iPhone 3.1.2 or 3.1.3.

It is also important to note here that Spirit wont unlock your phone. It is a jailbreaking tool only that will only work on devices which are activated via iTunes. So if you rely on an unlock, DO NOT upgrade to stock firmware or you’ll be stuck. Unlock for iPhone 3.1.3 on 05.12.01 baseband wont be out before the next iPhone hit the shelves. And that wont be before June/July of this year.

Make sure that you have your SHSH files saved. You can jailbreak without saving SHSH files but you wont be safe once Apple patches the exploit used by Spirit. Follow the instructions posted here to save your SHSH blobs.

Official description is as follows.

What’s Spirit?

• Spirit is an untethered jailbreak for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touchon the latest firmwares.
• Spirit is not a carrier unlock.
• If you currently are using a tethered jailbreak, you have to restore to use Spirit. Do not upgradeif you use an unlock on an iPhone 3G or 3GS. (You can, however, restore to 3.1.2 if you have SHSH blobs for that version.)

Requirements

• Any iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch on firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2.
• An activated device: one not stuck on the Connect to iTunes orEmergency Call screen.
• Any version of iTunes 9 (including 9.1.1).

Note: On iPad, all this is still sort of beta. Some packages in Cydia, not designed for iPad, might screw up your system and require you to restore. Be careful. (And no, Cydia’s appearance is not final.)

A complete step by step guide for jailbreaking using Spirit will be up soon. Stay tuned!
