Step by step guide to unlock 3.1.3

For the end user, Spirit looks and works very much like Geohot’s blackra1n, and is available for both Windows and Mac OS X.

Using Spirit, you can jailbreak (not unlock) all iPhone’s (iPhone (Edge), iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS) and iPod touches (iPod touch 2G and 3G) running on the firmware version 3.1.3/3.1.2, and iPad and iPad 3G on firmware 3.2 – untethered.

Note for iPhone 3G and 3GS Unlockers: Do NOT upgrade to the stock iPhone 3.1.3 if you you want to keep your unlock as doing so will result in upgrade of your baseband, which will make it almost impossible for you to unlock. This is strictly for those who are either on official supported carrier like AT&T, or have already upgraded to 3.1.3 and are stuck with it.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that you have your SHSH files saved. You can jailbreak without saving SHSH files but you wont be safe once Apple patches the exploit used by Spirit. Follow the instructions posted here to save your SHSH blobs.

The following guide will help you jailbreak iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS (all versions) untethered on the latest iPhone OS 3.1.3.

Step 1: Download and install the latest version of iTunes (download link given below).

Step 2: You will need to be on the official iPhone 3.1.2, or iPhone 3.1.3 firmware on your iPhone. Download links for iPhone OS 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 are given at the end of the post.

Step 3: Download Spirit for Windows or Mac (download link at the end of the post).

Step 4: Connect iPhone with your computer, Run “Spirit” and then Click on “Jailbreak”:

Note for Windows 7/Vista Users (OS X users should skip to Step 5): Change the “Compatibility mode” to “Windows 98 / Windows Me” by right clicking on “Spirit.exe”, and then click on “Properties”. This can be seen in the screenshot below. [Thanks to xeon82for this tip via twitter]

Also check: “Run this program as an administrator” option on the same window.

Step 5: Let the app do its thing and wait for the app to show “Jailbreak Complete!” message. At this point, wait for the iPhone to automatically reboot.

Step 6: Voila! You should now have a fully jailbroken iPhone 3G/3GS running on firmware 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 – Untethered !.

The title says it all. The popular unlocking tool for iPhone 3GS, 05.11.07 baseband on iPhone 3.1.3/3.1.2 has been successfully ported to work with the latest iPhone OS 4 Beta 4. This port is based on the binaries provided by msft.guy and the original blacksn0w unlock by Geohot.

If you are an expert user, you can give this one a go! But we will highly recommend you to stay away as the official unlock by iPhone Dev Team for iPhone 3.1.3, 05.12.01baseband will be out as soon as Apple releases the next iPhone along with final version of iPhone OS 4.

Instructions for unlocking iPhone 3GS with 05.11.07 baseband on iPhone OS 4 Beta 4 can be seen in the video attached below.

Jailbreak os 4

The iPhone Dev-Team is back! They have just released a test version of redsn0w 0.9.5 to jailbreak the latest iPhone OS 4 Beta. This release is targeted towards developers only to help them upgrade their existing app on Cydia for this upcoming latest firmware.

Note: This release WILL NOT help you hacktivate or unlock your phone. You’ll need a registered UDID with Apple to get past the activation process. Therefore, DO NOT update to iPhone OS 4 Beta if you rely on an unlock, as upgrading will upgrade your baseband which will leave you locked.

The following step by step guide will help you jailbreak your iPhone 3G ONLY (for now) on iPhone OS 4 Beta.

Step 1: Download iPhone OS 4 Beta for iPhone 3G.

Step 2: Update to this latest firmware file: iPhone1,2_4.0_8A230m_Restore.ipsw

Step 3: Start redsn0w 0.9.5 and point it to the original iPhone OS 4 Beta firmware for iPhone 3G to proceed.

Step 4: Now select “Install Cydia” and click “Next”.

Step 5: Now make sure your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to the computer before you click “Next”.

Step 6: Connect your device in recovery mode by pressing the Power and buttons continuously.

At this stage you will be presented with a screen where you will have to quickly hold “Power” button and then while holding the “Power” button, you will now have to hold “Home” button too. Now after few seconds release “Power” button but keep holding “Home” button until installation begins.

Step 7: Sit back and enjoy while redsn0w will do all the rest for you. Once done, your iPhone 3G will restart automatically and you will find it jailbroken with iPhone firmware version 4.0.

You will now notice that Cydia has a blank white icon. You’ll also notice that Cydia has no sources. Go to the Sources panel and add http://apt.saurik.com/cydia-3.7 repo. Now restart your phone and you should see the regular standard Cydia logo now.
