Spirit is an untethered jailbreak by Comex (et al.) for Mac OS X and Windows that jailbreaks all iPhones/iPod touches and the iPad on firmware 3.1.2 through 3.2. Spirit also requires iTunes 9.0 or greater to be installed. It is a userland exploit, unique in that it does not rely on an iBoot/Bootrom exploit. Due to MobileBackup requiring activation to be used, Spirit requires activation. It appears to copy a dylib to the "var/mobile/Media/spirit" folder and adds a startup daemon that seemingly allows the jailbreak to work untethered.

Notes

  • Windows may report error c0000005. Running Spirit in Compatibility Mode as Windows 98 will get around this.
  • On May 3, 2010, an updated version has been released to fix some problems. One problem was that some pictures could get deleted.
  • File size of the Windows exe is 4570608 bytes (both versions)
