Hello! I just upgraded iPod 2nd 32GB from original version 2.2.1 to upgrade version 3.1.3 purchased from Apple Store, download time about 20 minutes and auto update version 3.1.3 to iPod. After upgrade work fine. When I use Spirit to jailbreak iPod version 3.1.3 it came up with the screen spirit software and run with white circle on screen and take too long. After that I put power off and it came up with logo apple and black screen. So I try power off again (I try put on and off many times). My iPod working back with automatic run back software Spirit about 1 minute, after run software iPod working great with version 3.1.3 and cydia working good. Thank you!

I did the step-by-step process for jail breaking my iPod Touch. But it was stuck on the "process bar" screen. So I tried holding the home button and the power button which got it to turn off. But now when I try to turn my iPod Touch back on, it is stuck on the black screen with the gray apple. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

Smo, the same happened to me and I did this and finally it worked. When your iPod is on the black screen with the gray apple wait a couple of minutes and then hold the home button and the power button in order to turn it off. Again, try to turn on your iPod and if it doesn't works, repeat the process a couple of times. If nothing happens restore the original software of your iPod with the iTunes and try Spirit again. Good luck.

Hi Alex, please try to be more specific and I'll try to help.

Alex holloway - June 5, 2010 at 11:36pm

Does it work for a 3 gen cause i saw where the question was asked but no respond so instead of me paying someone i did it myself. I don't want to have wasted my money by trying to jailbreak and it doesn't work!

OMG!!1 It Work Right a way. If you have a 2g Ipod with 3.1.3 firmware, than this will be perfect. This Save my life

How long does Spirit take to jailbreak the devise? I'm jailbreaking my iPod Touch 2G 3.1.2, and the iPod has been in the reboot state for about 10 minutes now; the progress bar filled completely, but it's stuck there... Please, i don't know if this is the expected behaviour. Thanks

ipodity - May 12, 2010 at 1:54pm

Emiliano, no te preocupes, a mi me pasó lo mismo pero no es nada. Intentá apagar tu iPod manteniendo presionados al mismo tiempo el boton del frente y el botón de la parte superior del iPod. Al cabo de algunos segundos debería apagarse. Y cuando lo vuelvas a encender es muy probable que ya tengas liberado el iPod y el Cydia instalado. Si no fuera así, repite el instructivo de iClarified. Cya.

It works! No mistakes! Thanks!!!!

Does Spirit JB i-touch 2gen, with 3.12 version software ? Will all the current content be wipe off after JB?

Does jailbreak works completely with IPT 3rd-gen 3.1.3? If yes, iClarified, please update the jailbreak wizard, as it still says it can't be jailbroken.

famleon - May 3, 2010 at 10:03am

yes, I just JB an Iphone 3.1.3 and a IPT 3gen 64 GB and bot works just great... I love the tool
