How To Jailbreak iPhone 3.1.3 Or iPad In 60 Seconds

Posted in Communication,Just Cool,Software by Joe Colburn on the May 3rd, 2010

The problem with a stock iPhone is that it (currently) lacks things like app folder support for apps, carrier unlocking, and some apps that Apple just won’t approve for one reason or another. This is why we jailbreak. It provides more freedom over your device, allowing you to install whatever you want, change the look, etc. It’s just a lot more fun, but until now, you couldn’t jailbreak the iPad or an iPhone running the 3.1.3 firmware. Welcome to Spirit. (note, this will not carrier-unlock your device)

How to Jailbreak

This is by far the easiest jailbreak I’ve done on my iPhone. Run a backup with iTunes before jailbreaking! You simply download Spirit for the PC or Mac, unzip, plug in your iPhone or iPad and run Spirit. You’ll see a small window with a button that reads, simply, “Jailbreak”. Click it and wait a few seconds. When done, it will reboot your device and you’re jailbroken. Here’s a short video showing the process on an iPad:

I think 4.0 is already 1/2 broken, but not in any way that it's releasable yet. I suspect a break for 4.0 will hit about 2-3 days after the 4.0 upgrade, if not sooner. I think 4.0 will be out around June 22nd.

Good to know. Any news on 4.0 firmware yet?

No matter what you do, you need to back up your "blobs" before you do this! Very important if you ever need to restore the device to its original state!
