For those users that are planning to Jailbreak on OS 3.1.3, then I highly recommend adding this Cydia Source into Cydia after you jailbreak so you don't have to manually input all the Cydia Sources manually. This will automatically add all the best Cydia Sources and give you access to all the best Cydia Tweaks, Themes and Apps for FREE with just a push of a button. Follow the steps below. 1. Open Cydia 2. Tap Sources 3. Tap Edit 4. Tap Add 5. Type this url in the box (cydiasource,n e t) without the spaces and switch coma for a dot in the url. 6. Tap "Add Source" 7. Install the package labelled "All Sources". This will give you all the best Cydia Sources to have access to all the best Tweaks, Apps and Themes for FREE.

I am far from a pro at this but I have managed to jailbreak my ipod touches (32G and 64G) 3.1.3 since spirit first launched months ago. I get WiFI everywhere except my home computer, a MAC that I set up with ad-hoc wifi. Non jailbroken devices work just fine but both of my devices can't seem to connect despite saying they are connected. I have gone through countless forums seeking a solution. I've tried most simple solutions as well as tinkering around with DHCP, Static entry and passcode resets. Nothing works. Please provide a how to in easy to understand terms. Thanks

Hi there, I've been running 3.1.2 on a iPhone 3G with modem baseband 5.11.07 for a while. i am thinking about attempting a JB and Unlock on it ASAP because the phone is running very slow at the moment(8 Pages of APPS). Can anyone please recommend what in their opinion is the best method for Jailbreaking? (which method is safe for preserving my older baseband - is preserving it necessary anymore?) Also, after sucessfully JB'ing the 3G iPhone, what can i use to unlock it safely?? ANy info would be greatly appreciated, Che

I used Spirit for mac to jailbreak my friend's G2 3.1.3 phone and it worked like a charm. I can now use my ATT sim card to make calls. BUT, the phone doesnt let me access my voice mailbox. I set it up with password and greeting as asked, then save but it says "voicemail unavailable, unable to connect". The question: why is it doing that AND if I now "unlock" the phone, will it be 100% usable with my ATT sim? Any help appreciate : ) tx!

the Spirit file is for mac not Windows !! and it`s safe to use it with 3,1,2 \ 3,1,3 or i have to connect the iPhone to the computer each time i wish to restart the device

go to http://spiritjb.com/ and download WIndows version. I did it, and in a minute succesfully made JB on 3GS 3.1.3 with new bootroom. Than throught Cydia installed ultrasn0w and unlock the phone. Works great. Great thanks to people who provided spirit. I am going to make a small donation and wait for 4.0 jailbreak.

It worked, also because I followed instructions from therm4teacher & Shelby GT500e. However, my apple app games are not revealing sound now. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Please let me know if this can be fixed. Thanks!

I'm using an iPhone 3GS running 3.1.3 and I can't get this to work somehow!!!! Whenever I open the Spirit program, the "Jailbreak" button has the little spinning line-wheel thing on it and when I click it, it says "Jailbreaking..." and the line-wheel starts spinning and my phone says "Restore in PRogress" and it never changes. I left it on this stage for 15 minutes before quitting the program, and then my phone turns back on un-jailbroken. I've downloaded the program from various sites and still no change, I'm gonna try to restore and try again. Please help me!!!!

I can confirm that the posts from therm4teacher & Shelby GT500e worked for me as well on a 3GS with 3.1.3. Once the Spirit confirmation "Quit, Jailbreak Complete!" pops up, I had to unplug the iPhone to get it working. The process then took less than a minute! -------------- Shelby GT500e wrote at 2010-05-08 03:38:21 it work! The freeze problem work after a toke this step from one of the comments "therm4teacher wrote at 2010-05-03 16:34:47 HERE IS A FIX FOR THOSE WITH "STUCK ON REBOOT". I'm using a Macbook Pro and iphone 3g with 3.1.3 and itunes 9.1.1 I tried numerous times to install Spirit but my phone would get stuck in the reboot mode of Spirit. This is what I did to finally get it to work: Put phone in recovery mode & restore. Launch Spirit & follow directions up to step 5. As soon as the Quit notification comes up on your computer, disconnect iphone from computer. Reboot unconnected!!!!! Took a minute or so til my phone rebooted and then I launched Cydia. Hope this helps you. " THANKS a mill therm4teacher

My iPhone 3GS was frozen after unlocking on 3.1.3. I now tried to use Spirit but it is now worse. It is frozen at the apple logo. Prior to this I could use it as an iTouch, but now it cannot do anything except be frozen at the apple logo step. Please advise. Thanks,

Connect your Iphone to your mac and open itunes, than press the center and lock button at the same time for a few seconds than release the lock button and keep pressing the center button for another 10 sec or more. Itunes will recognize your iphone and you can restore it.

My iPhone is 3GS 3.1.2 jailbreak with base-band 5.11 . Can some one be clear and tell me how do I upgrade ??? shall I do it through iTone ?? you know this will upgrade to 3.1.3 // 5.12 and this will not start on iTone and will be stuck.So Spirit can't be used if this happen. Also what every body saying is there is no unlock method for BB 5.12 . Shall I do it with Pwnage Tool 3.1.5 and I am sure that will work but with custom IPSW and BB 5.11 Thanks for replying

Hi I need some help with regards to my jailbroken and unlocked iphone 3g on ultrasn0w currently on version 3.0. Can I upgrade to version 3.1.3 or 3.1.2 without any problems? If so, do I need to use spirit to jailbreak it again? Will appreciate any help or comments

If you upgrade to 3.1.3 you can jailbreak but youwill lose your unlock,due to the change in modem firmware

hi, sorry for this, but been reading some of the comments and still not sure what to make about this. I have a 3GS on 3.1.2 jailbroken with blackrain. Was thinking in updating to 3.1.3 to try to get free from having to initiate blackrain everytime the phone goes down (and all the tethered problem). Where is the week nr? is the FCC ID the serial nr (want to check if mine was made before week 40)? thanks for any reply if possible.
dipganesh
dipganesh - May 13, 2010 at 6:12am
If is before week 40 then is safe to update to 3.1.3 and jailbrake with spirit? if it's after do i have to keep on 3.1.2 jailbroken with blackrain and wait for better news?thanks!
iiTeddy
iiTeddy - May 24, 2010 at 9:50pm

I have a 3G S 32GB, was unlocked with Blackrain but every time I turned off the phone it was going to the recovery mode (USB to iTunes picture) decided to use Spirit to fix the problem, it went all the way to the end but frozen again, keeps going to the recovery mode, tried Blackrain after but no luck, keeps rebooting with George Hotz picture on it. Can't try Spirit again because its not in the standard spring board anymore. PLEASE HELP, I can't restore because I will lose the UNLOCK. Ryan

If you're experiencing an issue where the iPhone refuses to access network data (Web pages [Safari reports "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server."], email, Google Maps data, etc.), the fix may be drop-dead simple: Tap Settings Tap General Tap Reset Tap Reset Network Settings
