Ready your mind and Spirit!

| be3n

Spirit, the new jailbreak for ALL the latest apple toys is about to be released! BACKUP your blobs! expect an apple update immediately following the release! Spirit could be released as soon as tomorrow! To summarize, Spirit is an untethered jailbreak for all iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads.

you only need to backup your blobs if you have one of the newest devices like iPhone 3gs, the Touch 3gen, and any iPad. If you’ve been avoiding a jailbreak, you can use Umbrella to backup the pertinent info without modifying the device. I’ll write up a howto when I get a sec, but there are plenty out there.

iPhone 3gs and Touch 3g users should have their shsh blobs backed up by now! Even if you are not jailbroken!

the easiest way is with umbrella.  the hardest part is to put your phone in restore mode and plug it into a computer to get it’s unique id.  after that, you reboot your phone normally and put it away. it is never modified.  Umbrella is run on a computer and it requires that unique id.  the data is actually retrieved directly from apple’s servers and may differ in version from the software on your devise.  you can even cache your blobs on saurik’s server right form umbrella without ever violating your apple warrantee or modifying your devise in any way.

iPhone goes untethered! bootrom 359.3.2 goes down!

@geohot did it again! in a video that meets @Musclenerd strict standards. This works with the newest 3gs as well as all iPod Touches we’ve seen thus far. no release date yet, but we’d expect it after the upcoming hardware and software updates. 3.2 or 4.0? iPad or new iPhone. we’ll just have to wait and see.

UPDATE 3
closer inspection of the spirit exploit, not a bootrom exploit. The title was wrong. Still no 359.3.2 exploit.

UPDATE 4
finally goes down with the release of limera1n.  (limera1n-on-our-parade)
