Chpwn and Ryan Petrich have announced Spire, a new tool for installing Siri on previously unsupported but jailbroken devices.

Spire is my (along with Ryan Petrich) new tool for installing Siri on previously unsupported, but jailbroken, devices. Spire is a small download, but while installing it will download Siri itself (directly from Apple). Spire is available in Cydia right now - go get it! This will use about 100 MB of data, so please connect to Wi-Fi before installing.

Apple still requires authorization information for Siri so you'll need info from an iPhone 4S. To insert this information, Spire lets you enter your own proxy server.

By using this (ancient) SiriProxy fork, you can setup a proxy using your own iPhone 4S to insert the needed information reasonably easily. Other solutions for proxying Siri will be listed here as they are developed - perhaps that sort of proxy might be included in the main SiriProxy repository.

Spire does not have the copyright issues that previous attempts to port Siri have had. Also rather than directing traffic through a specific proxy server, Spire lets you specify your own proxy server.

We'll be posting more information and instructions on how to set this up shortly.

someone care to help me out?? so I set up my siri proxy following an awesome video. though I didn't have the iPhone 4s. My buddy gave me his UDID as I heard I could use that to do everything I needed. Well where do I put his UDID? can I enter it into the CA.perm file??

I plan on jbing my iPhone4 to 5.0.1(shortly) and then trying this. I then plan on setting up the siri proxy on my home network: https://github.com/plamoni/SiriProxy I am wanting to write plugins for the siri proxy, and dont care about full blown Siri. (I dont need it to hit apple siri servers or the internet) -So first question, will Siri proxy (and plugins) work without getting a UDID from an iPhone4s? -Second question, if I do acquire a UDID from an iPhone 4s, what do I do with it? I saw reports to add it into UDID faker? or is there a config file in the Siri proxy you add it to? Thanks!

Installed and it shows up on the settings. I put in a siriproxy i found online (just to try) and i held down the home button, only voice control appeared

Go to settings - feneral - siri - activate siri Enjoy

I installed this on 5.0.1 and when i first booted there was no network connectivity so i removed the sim and installed it back in and it works but later that night i installed Corona (Untether tethered jailbreak) and i lost the connectivity and when i rebooted i got the splash screen asking to Activate my phone and i couldnt so had to restore the whole thing :( i hope there is a fix for this because i was about to fix up my own SiriProxy at home but phone got messed up :(

I own a iPhone 4S, and a iPhone 4 (Wife's) Has anyone got this proxy thing to work? Its so vague, I read through all the links and postings and I cannot figure out how to start. Any clear direction would be greatly appreciated.

how do i find the proxy on an iphone 4s? I have my brothers iphone 4s sitting here?

Liam - December 27, 2011 at 4:55pm

All this looks simple, yet I still have no clue how to find an iPhone 4s' proxy. Looking at the siriproxy site made no sense.

What is the status of the untethered jailbreak? It would be great to see that released soon, as it would make installing tweaks like this much easier.

bob - December 27, 2011 at 1:48pm

untethered jailbreak is released as well..

Anonym - December 27, 2011 at 8:39am

Does Spire work on 5.0.1? I cannot see the Spire icon in Settings. Thanks.

jj - December 29, 2011 at 6:33am

same with me. I have "Siri" setting under General, but there's no Spire settings under settings. I have an untethered jb 5.0.1 iphone 4

jj - December 29, 2011 at 6:08pm

I am seeing the Spire in settings now. I think the issue is related to mobile substrate issue. This is what I did: - jb again using redsnow b3 version - reinstall mobile substrate and respring

Tim - December 27, 2011 at 7:42am

installing siri proxy on a iphone 4s needs the 4s to be jb? if not, just goto an apple store and pick a phone?

jl - December 27, 2011 at 6:29am

I uninstalled H1Siri just fine then added this. I was reading via Cydia to set up your own proxy a d it seems hard. I'll wait for updates on this though.

hogs all the ram on ipod4

Why don't you make a video tutorial..... :

Birke - December 27, 2011 at 4:51am

Setup is to complex for normal users. I don't have an 4S so this solution is useless for me :(

Kyle - December 27, 2011 at 4:18am

what do you mean take for a spin if it can not be found on Cydia

matt - December 27, 2011 at 3:30am

what is the proxy URL?

Aj - December 27, 2011 at 3:30am

It removes semi tether not sure if its worth it right now

Patrick - December 27, 2011 at 3:12am

is this tweak only work on version 5.0 ?

Jeremy - December 27, 2011 at 3:02am

Ok so I can set this up having to use proxy setting from my 4s? But I don't have a 4s? Is that just a typo from the quote? And if it can be set using any proxy server then y do I need to authenticate it with 4s stuff?

Frank - December 27, 2011 at 3:04am

Apple only authenticates info from a 4S. If they faked the same info for everyone, Apple would just block it.

Joe - December 27, 2011 at 4:37am

How do I figure out the proxy on my 4s?

Guest - December 27, 2011 at 2:49am

Do i need to uninstall any other Siri GUI (e.g. H1Siri) before installing this or restore ?
