How to Jailbreak Using Spirit

So you've decided you want to jailbreak? Luckily, jailbreaking is easy. There are several ways you can jailbreak your iPhone, iPod, or iPad. You can do it manually, or you can select from a plethora of software that will help you along the way. The method I've chosen for this tutorial will be using the Spirit Jailbreaking software. Spirit is an application designed for both Windows and Mac computers that makes jailbreaking your device as easy as clicking a button... literally. Before we start, let's go over what we need. Here are the software/hardware requirements straight from Spirit's site.

Requirements:

Any iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch on firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2 (not 3.2.1).An activated device: one not stuck on the Connect to iTunes or Emergency Call screen.
Any version of iTunes 9 earlier than 9.2 Syncing with iTunes before trying this is highly recommended

Now that we've got the requirements out of the way, let's get to work.


Required Steps


Step 1: Download and install the Spirit application. This shouldn't take longer than a few minutes.


Step 2: Plug your device in to your computer and wait until it is recognized by iTunes. This may take a few moments depending on how fast your PC or Mac is, so be patient.


Step 3: This is an optional step, but it is highly recommended that you sync and backup your device to iTunes just in case things don't go as planned. You never know what may happen during the process that may cause an undesired effect. You don't want to lose any photo's from your family vacation or any apps you may have downloaded from your last sync.


Step 4: Once you're done syncing your device with iTunes and Launch the Spirit Jailbreak tool. It will open in window and display a message saying that your device is connected. If it doesn't display a message that your device is connected, close Spirit, disconnect your device and reconnect it again, then re-launch Spirit.


Step 5: Click "Jailbreak" At this point, everything will be done automatically. It may take a while, so be patient. It is highly recommended that you don't fiddle around with your device during the installation process, and certainly don't disconnect it until you see "Restore complete" on your screen.


Once your device has completed the jailbreak, it will reboot. Then you can disconnect the device. Happy jailbreaking!
