Spirit Jailbreak for iOS 4 & iOS 4.0.1 To Be Released Very Soon


Comex, the hacker behind popular Spirit jailbreak, has been planning to release a new jailbreak tool for iOS 4 and iOS 4.0.1 users. The new Spirit jailbreak tool will support all the devices including iPod Touch 2G, iPod Touch 3G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.

For those who haven’t stored SHSH blobs yet, do save it for iOS 4.0 or iOS 4.0.1 as you won’t get another golden chance to rectify the mistake. The hacker is not waiting for Apple to release iOS 4.1, so we can expect the new Spirit jailbreak in next few hours. . Wait for the next update.

Spirit

The Spirit tool will be using userland jailbreak method to jailbreak the devices. Here’s what hacker has to say about new Spirit jailbreak -

I’m not waiting for 4.1 so I hope everyone has SHSH blobs saved. :p

SHSH blobs for 4.0.1 or 4.0 are fine; AFAIK there are no substantive differences except the bars :)

To be clear: if I don’t run into problems, it will work on 4.0 or 4.0.1. No need to update to 4.0.1. SHSH blobs for either are fine.

Update: Comex has released a new jailbreak tool. For more information, see here.

  24. Gere3007

  25. Davidmaiden18183

    I don't have my SHSH blobs saved for my iphone 4 on oS 4.0, is it too late? Will I need them to jailbreak? Thanks in advance for anyone that can answer


  26. Jackpwns

    can you do this without shsh blobs


  27. Giltledano24

    So when will it come out??
    Will they post a downloading link??


  28. Jews

    thank raptor jesus


  29. yehokay

    You won't need them to jailbreak.


  30. Steve G

    You people need to learn to READ! You can use SHSH blobs from 4.0 or 4.01, READ!!!!!!!!!!!!


  31. Steve G

    I'm sure this will be an amazing release, previous Spirit was perfect and painless. Glad the iphone Dev Team didn't get sick of peoples ridiculous demands and comments. People please think about what you are writing, and for the love of Pete read the whole article and comments first. If you think iphone dev team or anyone else cares that you are stupid and didn't read instructions and now have a locked phone you are mistaken.


  32. Davidmaiden18183

    Yes but do need the SSH blobs as part of the jailbreak process i.e. I have none now on my iphone 4 and missed the slot to get them for 4.0. Would I have to upgrade to 4.0.1, grab SSH blobs, and the armed with these and only then could jailbreak? are the SSH blobs actually going to be needed

    reason people ask is the purpose of SSH blobs has always been to assist downgrading, but comex seemed to make a point of saying he hoped we already got the them….


  33. Travis803

    Can someone tell me how i backup all my cydia stuff from 3.1.3 so i can upgrade to 4.0 when it is released? The safest best way, Thanks!


  34. Kris12k4

    When does it come out?


  35. Giltoledano24

    When will the 4.0 spirit come out???


  36. Omar_huertas

    help me i need u comex i need some spirit jb 4.0 my 3gs i locked cuz my wife


  37. You can't save SHSH blobs for iOS 4.0 now; the signature windows is closed. However, you can save SHSH blobs for iOS 4.0.1 using TinyUmbrella.


  38. You are safe. Save SHSH blobs for iOS 4.0.1. :)


  39. It should work, but wait for my next updates on the blog.


  40. Save your SHSH blobs. The jailbreak tool will be released soon.


  41. Wait for my next updates on this blog. :)


  42. DrewerD

    Do you NEED to save SHSH blobs? Cause i got 4.0. Can I just jailbreak without saving?


  43. Yes, you can jailbreak without saving SHSH blobs.


  44. Nikka1624

    Harshad,

    I'm hoping you can help me I have an iphone 3gs on firmware 4.0.1 and my iphone has never been jailbroken. Will this new release be able to jailbreak my iphone?

    Many Thanks Nats


  45. Yes, it'll jailbreak your iPhone 3GS. Just save iOS 4.0.1 SHSH blobs.


  46. DrewerD

    Okay, good! Now I just gotta wait! xD


  47. Rangelthemex

    is it out yet, i cant wait any more


  48. ios4jbnow

    seriously! the suspense is killing me :P

  55. Steviejames2002

    Any ideas on when we can expect this masterpiece?


  56. Fmr_84

    will it work in 2g Ipod Touches 4.o MC models??


  57. Pinoy_ako07

    any update yet when the jailbreak will be released.


  58. Hey guys, Comex is giving us some time to save SHSH blobs. As I have mentioned in the article, he's not willing to release a jailbreak for iOS 4.1. Also, he doesn't have any new exploit for the next version of iOS, so please be patient. :)


  59. bobby

    do you need to have the SHSH to be able to jailbroken or is it just to save your software? please help im new to this SHSH


  60. Nikka1624

    Hey bobby I'm also new to this but as far as I know you don't need SHSH Blobs to jailbreak, but you will need them if you want to downgrade your firmware. Yesterday I downloaded tinyumbrella and as i missed the window to save my SHSH Blobs for 4.0 firmware I saved 4.0.1 in prep for my jailbreak :)

    I hope thats correct anyway good luck


  61. Sunny_fsr

    hi dear all i have i phone 3gs but ios 4.0.1 please how i can jail break it and what i need to do if i want do downgrade to 3.1.3


  62. Antony Clifford

    Musclenerd has stated that the spirit/Ultrasn0w package will probably be out by the weekend, So I wouldnt hold you breath until Friday or Sat


  63. ios4jbnow

    and where was this stated?


  64. nikka1624

    Hi Sunny, I just wanted to say again I am also very new to all of this and the only knowledge base I have is all the research that I have done, so I may not be 100% correct :)

    I am also in the same situation as you I have the 3gs on firmware 4.0.1 so I am currently waiting for the new spirit release to jailbreak. This is the only source I know of to jail break without previous saved SHSH Blobs. Inregards to downgrade you will have to have saved SHSH Blobs for the 3.1.3, without them you won't be able to downgrade.

    I would suggest downloading tinyumbrella and saving the SHSH Blobs you currently have, in prep for your jailbreak when the new tool is released.

    I hope this helped, again sorry if this is not totally correct
    I'm just a newbie :)


  65. antony clifford

    TO CLEAR UP THE SHSH BLOBS CONFUSION:

    IT IS NOT REQUIRED THAT YOU HAVE SHSH BLOBS ON FILE TO DO THE JAILBREAK, IF YOU DONT HAVE THEM ON FILE THEN YOU CAN STILL JAILBREAK, THE REASON FOR PUTTING THEM ON FILE IS TO ALLOW A DOWNGRADE TO AN EARLIER FIRMWARE VERSION IF YOU HAVE TO DOWNGRADE TO APPLY A JAILBREAK WHEN A NEWER FIRMWARE COMES OUT, I.E. LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE 3GS, YOU NEEDED TO BE ON 3.1.2 RATHER THAN 3.1.3 TO BE ABLE TO INSTALL A JAILBROKEN VERSION OF ISO4, THATS WHY IT WOULD ONLY WORK FOR PEOPLE WHO SAVED THERE 3.1.2 SHSH BLOBS, THESE WERE THE PEOPLE WHO COULD DOWNGRADE TO BE ABLE TO INSTALL A JAILBROKEN IOS4, EVENTUALLY A SOLUTION IS USUALLY CREATED TO NEGATE THE NEED TO DOWNGRADE, LIKE THE UPCOMING SPIRIT, BUT IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO SAVE YOU SHSH BLOBS JUST IN CASE A SITUATION LIKE THIS OCCURS. HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE. ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK.


  66. Kris12k4

    It's out!!!


  67. DrewerD

    Why not? =(


  68. Tyler Durden

    stop fcking misdirecting people. Comex never said exact date or time, so it might be tomorrow or next week, but will not be within the next a few hours. When you talked to comex directly and got official date, then you can tell us. Other then that stop misdirecting everyone and yourself. Only Comex know when it will be released, sometimes soon, but not with next few hours or even days.


  69. Melissa

    Harshad, 1 day or so ago you stated that a jailbreak would be in a mater of hours…what happened?


  70. I never posted the exact release date or time. I just said we can “EXPECT”.


  71. I'm not releasing the tool. Please ask @comex.


  72. Melissa

    Yes, that's understood, again though, you posted here that it would be a matter of hours. Where would you get this information to make the claim.


  73. Melissa

    Actually you did, you posted “so we can expect the spirit jailbreak in next few hours”…Cheers to Tyler, you were in deed misleading and misrepresenting.


  74. Queers

    all of you hacker just talk out of your ass and love the attention you get in the computer world because no one cares about you guys in the real world.


  75. Actually, I never said he WILL release in next few hours. After reading his tweet yesterday, everyone (including me) were “expecting” him to release the tool in next few hours. Now, there are several other reasons behind the delay of release time.

    I'm deeply sorry if I have misled anyone of you, and I didn't have any intentions to do so.


  76. Melissa

    It's cool, didn't think it was intentional…just a major buzz kill is all :( Hopefully soon, trying to wait patiently!


  77. can wait for the jailbreak to come out for my ipod touch 3g mc model to be free

    more on my blog unite everybody (:


  78. T3rz3ul

    I'm so ready for this ima nutterbutter in my pants comexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx we love u please release it tonight


  79. Joshuagbones

    hey im new to the jailbreaking thing and i would like to know if i can update my device while its already jailbroken its on version 3.1.3 3rd gen please reply


    • Aznboyloveswafflez

      Hey Josh, You can update your Ipod to 4.0 but the only problem is is that gets rid of your jailbreak. If I were you, I’d wait til spirit releases the new 4.0 jailbreak and then update from 3.1.3 to 4.0 just to be sure


    • Floogle28

      no it will get rid of the jailbreak completely except your customized carrier or banner. i made that mistake so im downgrading to 3.1.3


  80. Sdfad

    No problem, I know you were just trying to keep us all up to date.


  81. Pinoy_ako07

    any update yet on when this beauty will be released?


  82. wewe

    What the heck are SHSH blobs and do I need to worry about them if I'm a first time jailbreaker?


  83. DrewerD

    SHSH blobs are what you need if you need to downgrade your iDevice to an older version.
    And no you don't need them to jailbreak.


  84. Jfosheezy

    when is this coming out?!?!?!?!?!?


  85. AsianDudeFTW

    can you post a link here?


  86. DrewerD

    If you guys go to @comex, @planetbeing, and @MuscleNerd you will know that the jailbreak is very close to being completed and should be out soon. I'm hoping it's out by Monday but don't take my word on that. Be patient and it'll come.


  87. ios4jbnow

    im really ready for this…now…


  88. Mmorris352003

  89. Use TinyUmbrella software.

    • DrewerD

      Read the previous comments before asking questions. LOTS of people have asked that and they were all told “No, you don’t need to save SHSH blobs for the jailbreak”


  114. Timmy

    no, i don't think so, but i would save them


  115. 1tzy0shi

    Please HELP!


  124. I have Iphone 3gs with 4.0 iOS. Its stuck to emergency screen. I have saved my SHSH blobs while i was on 3.1.2 and i dont know why but at that time i could see that my SHSH blobs are saved for iOS 4.0. would i be able to jailbreak my phone?

    And please clarufy that when i was on 3.1.2 and i saved my SHSH blobs, how it could save for 4.0?
    Please help


  125. Pablo_ivan83

    I'm staying up all night threw the early morning until the jailbreak comes out but the exciting thing is that I will be putting myself into a tube of ice and my lap desk with my finger on the key to the jailbreak I'm getting ready and going to start at 12:00 to night this is taking it to the extra step for an iPhone 4 ,jailbreak on youtube or send me a link to this site I will be getting ready to make history got my camera and the energy to do this intill the jailbreak comes out…


  126. Rolandoraya

    what are shsh blobs and how do i know if i have them saved


  127. Nabs

    its a sort of unique signature that apple uses to sign your phones firmware which apple stop giving out when they release a newer firmware and you can save them by a) jailbreak your iphone and use cydia's 'make my life easier' function or b) use a program called tinyumbrella (http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/) directly of your PC/Mac


  128. The new jailbreak should work on your device.


  129. You'll need to upgrade your iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.0.1 so that you can store SHSH blobs. However, if you do so, your jailbreak and unlock will be vanished.


  130. Robbiepickard

    when will the jailbreak for the 4.0 be avaliable


  131. Robbie

  137. 123abc

    Thats real talk. They use big words for no reason. It's embarrassing for them.


  138. Aamir

    i had 3.1.0 on 3gs and did not save shsh files then i ran 4.0.1 on it and now its stuck on the emergency screen …. what can be done with it?


  139. Restore your iDevice to older firmware and again try updating to new firmware.


  140. Jj3051
