Free Iphone Unlock

The iPhone Dev team released earlier this week the highly anticipated Spirit untethered jailbreak solution by Comex. This program helps jailbreak iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. In order to facilitate easy jailbreaking, here is a tutorial providing a step-by-step guide for Mac users.

It is important to note first the possible consequences before engaging in the procedure. Keep in mind that jailbreaking can void the warranty of your device. Aside from this, once jailbroken, these gadgets are very prone and vulnerable to malicious attacks. Thus it is advisable to have a backup of the memory for future use. Once the process is completed, never forget to change the root password of your Apple device.

In order to work properly, the following requirements must be met: iPhone or iPod touch on iPhone OS 3.1.2 and 3.1.3. When you’re using the older versions, it is crucial to update your device to iPhone OS 3.1.3. This jailbreak is compatible with all iPhones currently present even the latest iPhone 3GS models with updated Boot ROM. You must also have an activated device. If the screen is stuck on the Connect to iTunes or Emergency Call, then it is not activated. Also you must also have the iTunes 9 or above installed.

Once you’ve met all the requirements mentioned above and you’ve taken all the necessary precautions, then it is now safe to proceed with the step-by-step instructions to jailbreak your iPhone and iPod Touch.

1. Download the latest version of Spirit Jailbreak software to your Mac desktop.
2. Launch the Spirit.app.zip file and extract it to your desktop.
3. Double click and launch the extracted Spirit application.
4. Connect your iPhone or ipod Touch to the computer once the prompt appears. Proceed by clicking on the “Jailbreak” button.
5. The jailbreaking process has now begun. Once completed, the window will display the message “Jailbreak Complete!”
6. Select the “Quit” button to close the application.
7. The device would now reboot and display the progress bar.
8. After the process is completed, your iPhone or iPod Touch is now successfully jailbroken. You would also find Cydia installed on your device.

After jailbreaking, there are some users who report having issues with their Wi-Fi or network connectivity. To resolve this matter, you must work on trying to reset the network settings. To do this choose “Launch Settings”, select “General”, then “Reset”, and finally tap on “Reset Network Settings”.

Mac users can now also upgrade their iPhone and iPod touches to OS 3.1.3 similar to Windows. Previously iH8sn0w dev team released the original sn0wbreeze 1.4 to jailbreak the latest OS, however it was limited to Windows users. Now, Apple has released a version suitable for Mac known as the Pwnage Tool 3.1.5 to allow their users to safely upgrade to the new OS while preserving the jailbreak and ultrasn0w unlock.

However like most previously released jailbreak, this new software comes with a warning. There’s no real reason to update to 3.1.3 unless you observe a problem with your battery percentage. But if you simply feel like doing so, read these warnings and advice carefully before using PwnageTool 3.1.5 or Redsn0w to avoid any complications:

iPhone 3G and 3GS unlockers should always be very wary to update their firmware. This is no exception. If you make a mistake along the way you may find yourself updating to official 3.1.3 in which case you will lose your unlock, possibly forever.

iPhone 3GS users (regardless of unlock) should stay away from this and all 3.1.3 jailbreak tools unless you know you have your “SHSH hashes” backed up via Cydia. That’s because if you make a mistake you may find yourself stuck at official 3.1.3 with no way to jailbreak or come back down to 3.1.2 to jailbreak.

If you really truly feel that you need to update, this version creates a custom 3.1.3 IPSW for you to restore to on your iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS with early bootrom, iPod touch 1G, and iPod touch 2G with early bootrom. If you don’t know if you have an early bootrom or not, please avoid updating until you learn more.

You don’t need to be pre-jailbroken on anything but the iPod touch 2G early bootrom. And really for that device, it’s faster and easier to use redsn0w 0.9.4 as mentioned in our last post. For that matter, if you have an ipt1g, iphone2g, or iphone3g(and don’t need an unlock), you should use redsn0w too (but version 0.9.3). It’s faster and you won’t have to go through a full restore process (just do an update then run redsn0w, pointing it at 3.1.2 FW instead of 3.1.3).

Meanwhile, here’s a specific piece of advice for iPhone 3GS users:

If you have an iPhone 3GS, PwnageTool works if you’re currently at version 3.1.2 or below (down to 3.0). You don’t need to be already jailbroken — PwnageTool will ask you if you’re jailbroken after you’ve created the IPSW. Don’t use PwnageTool on the iPhone 3GS if you’re at 3.1.3, it just won’t work. Downgrade to 3.1.2 using the methods described here. If you can’t downgrade because you don’t have your 3GS 3.1.2 hashes on file with Cydia, you’ll need to sit out the 3.1.3 jailbreak.

Despite all the warnings and precautions a consumer must take, the iPhone Dev Team attempts to reassure clients by calling this software as a “pre-game show” saying:

We aren’t revealing any new exploits to Apple with this jailbreak. Everything here has been used before, it’s just a straightforward port of Pwnage2 and 24Kpwn to the new firmware. It’s possible the new firmware was released largely to flush out new exploits before the next big release. We won’t be biting.
