This will erupt lots of cries and disappointment but this was important to post as I know many of you have been really looking forward to it. Contrary to the popular believe that the new Spirit like all iOS device jailbreak will be released this weekend, the most vocal of all iPhone Dev-Team members MuscleNerd has confirmed that the new jailbreak wont be released today. This slight delay is because of some of the important iPhone 4 apps like FaceTime which are having issues after jailbreak. As MuscleNerd rightly said, there is no point in releasing a half-baked jailbreak tool which causes issues for the end-users.

Not to make it a daily thing, but since somehow people thought it would be today: the new JB+unlock won’t be out today
(there are issues with important apps like Facetime that need to be figured out…no sense releasing a half-broken JB)
Some of these issues were also mentioned by Saurik in his recent interview which can be seen here. Lets hope that all these issues are quickly sorted out so that we can finally have a working jailbreak (and unlock) for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS (new bootrom), iPad on iOS 3.2.1 and iPod touch 3G / 2G (MC models).

I'm glad to hear they're working everything out before release!
(#)
Let the screams of bloody murder begin (I rather have a solid product rather than an half-assed release anyway.)
(#)
Another day of disappointment
(#)
They say patience pays and good things come to those who wait. I will wait patiently
(#)
so how about the people that don't give a sh*t about facetime? release it!!
(#)
Big thanks to everyone working on the new jb.
Your hard work is appreciated by all!!!'
(#)
oh come on
(#)
lol i hope all will go well with it and hope that it can be put out because i have been wanting to unlock my 3gs for a while
good lock with the work
(#)
Well, I'm sure it will be worth the wait.
(#)
what happened to snowbreeze 2.0?
(#)
will this jailbreak be ok with people who used spirit on 3.1.3 new bootrom? Have heard a lot of NO's with Spirit
(#)
man i was hoping for facetime to be working (over 3g)
(#)
I have so much more respect for these people and the work they do, than a certain “former” iPhone hack developer whom shall remain un-named.
(#)
How was this posted on the 26th, when its the 25th?
(#)
im sad
(#)
I believe most people are interested in the unlock mainly… I for one bought an At&t locked iphone 4 and i live in Australia… So like me i know there are hundreds of thousands of people waiting for the unlock… I suggest they release the JB/unlock with a big WARNING saying FaceTime as well as other apps/services are not working… People will be happy with that as it will at least enable us to make and receive calls. Also, that will take the pressure of the Dev-team and buy them more time to look into those other issues affecting the JB at the moment.
Just a thought
All my respect and appreciation goes to the Dev-team.
(#)
So close! I cannot wait!
(#)
I am as eager as anybody to get my hands on the new jailbreak but I am very grateful for this delay if it means getting a non-problematic solution.
(#)
so freaking fake
(#)
iPhone 4 users can wait for the perfected jailbreak, but what about the iPhone 3Gs users who don't have the Face Time App. At least release the jailbreak for us 3Gs users..please..Thanks.
(#)
Waiting…………
(#)
To bad
(#)
Well thats fair enough really… i dont mind how long it takes, i think everyone should appreciate the work thats been done and stop asking for release dates…it'll be ready when its ready!
(#)
I hope you all are able to create a Jailbreak for the iPhone 4 before I get it
Well I don't mind the delay, I just hope you all make one, unlike some people that rush perfection….
(#)
Cool
better to wait for a good JB than to have a one that makes your life like hell…
keep the good work guys and thanks for your hardwork
(#)
I hope so next weekend
(#)
guys it will be gr8 to release it now and an update when its finished completley as a lot of people cant even make a phone call or use it as an ipod so they dont realy care for facetime right now
(#)
Oh man, I was waiting for this jailbreak to be released but you know it is delayed but for a good course
iPhone 3GS – New Bootrom
Current Firmware: 3.1.3
(#)
Hmm if only iphone4 had problem, then i hope iphone 3gs had no problem, and the jb will be released very soon,,,
(#)
surprise surprise
(#)
Whu can't we have the jailbreak for iPad 3.2.1 as it doesn't have Facetime ?
(#)
Atleast, release the Spirit Jailbreak for Iphone 3GS (new bootrom) while figuring out iPhone 4 issues…
(#)
ironic since most people on IOS4 wouldn't even have an iphone 4 (which is the only unit that can truly support facetime, non?)
(#)
I'm glad they're not rushing the release of the JB. We don't want to have another epidemic like….ehmmm…. you know who….. for releasing something too early without properly testing everything.
Keep up the awsome work guys!!!
(#)
I appreciate their professionalism and honesty. Patience always yields great results…
(#)
is this jailbreak support 3gs 3.1.3 on emegency call screnn
(#)
i think there must be some problem with the whole jb tool for all devices.. that is y they didnt release for any. iphone 4 Facetym issue must be their story for no release..
(#)
Aww man..so disappointing.. I really thought it was going to be released in a day or two. But I guess we should support the SPIRIT Team who is working their asses off for our satisfaction
(#)
Have patience. They do this for us for free and we are always expect so much for them. At least there are jailbreaks and unlocks out there for free. They work so hard and people need to be patient, once again.
(#)
Remember, they arre working ON IPHONE 4, they really don't care 3GS or 3G nor iPad/iPod users, the main objective is 4. So, if the JB is not ready for the iPhone 4 thers no JB at all. Besides, the guyz at Dev Team uses iPhone 4, even Freeman is handling an iPhone 4 not an 3GS.
(#)
Hi, i'm a little bit lost. This new tool will handle also 3gs 4.0.1 new boot prom ?
Thanks in advance
(#)
Plz do it as soon as possible…
(#)
There is iOS wide features that are broken. Not just i4's FaceTime. Saurik mentioned this in the many interviews out for the i4. Just wait. We don't NEED to have a jailbreak now. It's just nice to have one. I know you all still have cellular devices (those who are depending on Unlocks)
It's not just about you. The exploit is device wide. Not just iPhone 4 specific. So if they just released it, Apple could release an update that can break the jailbreak, and like always, hear people ask for a new jailbreak because they “accidentally” upgraded. MuscleNerd, Comex, and PlanetBeing are working very hard on flatting this issues and the jailbreak will be out as soon as they know all the features will work. As MuscleNerd stated on Twitter. No sense in having a half-baked version of a jailbreak. Might as well have the whole thing. #pie #pie #pie #pie.
Let's just be patient. That's not to say I didn't waste hours updating Twitter trying to find out if they are releasing. The good news is. Jailbreak is done. Easy install. Just patching up what they broke. Not too much of a problem, I hope.
(#)
we will w8
))
(#)
so why did they ask users to give information of iphone/ipod from 2nd gen onwards?
(#)
guys by what name do i look for them in twitter?? i
(#)
No, it will not hacktivate your device. It will be like the previous Spirit style JB. A userland exploit, which means it can't get that low of access to hacktivate. If you're in USA, you will need to find an AT&T SIM to borrow. Or purchase a phonebook SIM. This jailbreak will support ALL iDevices, just not hacktivate.
(#)
My iPhone is locked. I have no hope but in you guys. Otherwise, the devise is nothing.
I hope also that your jailbreak will work for 3GS new bootrom without those SHSH blobs being saved.
(#)
comex, planetbeing and musclenerd
(#)
I feel like a lot of people are being selfish by saying that they should just release the jailbreak half done. Im one of those people that have been waiting for it, but that doesn't mean i have a say on what they do. Take your time guys. After all is their product and its completely free.
(#)
No problem. Take your time. thanks for all that you guys do for us.
(#)
Patiently waiting once again =(
(#)
well i cnt wait.. plz email me as soon as it comes out thank you…
(#)
cant believe it waiting all day and now its bad news fot another week
(#)
would it jailbreak mine? iv got 3Gs, 4.0.1 firmware 05.13.04 and its new bootrom
Or does anyone already have it or know how to do it bye any chance.???:(
(#)
theres no rush
)
(#)
This new Spirit jailbreak WILL jailbreak you're 3GS new bootrom whenever it is released.
(#)
Please don't make us wait another week.
(#)
patiently waiting for it to launch :> Thanks guys
(#)
FINALLY DIS WEEKEND!
(#)
I would happily contribute or donate to these guys if they give me a good JB for my 3GS new bootrom. Thanks Taimur for keeping us informed, and thanks to the Dev-Team: keep the good work!
(#)
Thanks for all the hard work you do for us
(#)
i miss my free apps and i hope they release this thing to the public soon.
(#)
wait so is this spirit jailbreak gona be able to jailbreak the ipad 3.2.1 software or just iphone 4???
(#)
still delay, and no further info?
(#)
Could we have something that would allow us to go back to 3.2 without the shsh blob ? There seems to be a way for IPhone with Purplerain, although it's not there anymore. I bought my ipad and it comes with 3.2.1 .
(#)
I fight other. Everyone said the wait.
(#)
I got tired of waiting to this Jailbreaking and unlocking stuffs so i sold my Iphone 3gs and got me one of those android phones the Sonyericsson Xperia x10 and believe me wow.
Android telefone rocks specialy That model. Guys why bother to wait? There is no special about a jailbroken iphone. well unlocked yes. Apple will still release an update that will patch the hole and you sure will have to crave for another Jailbreak after another. So the hell with those stuffs.
(#)
Please dont make us wait no more, I need my Iphone 3GS 32GB new bootrom…help please.
(#)
hey medina, there is nothing special about jailbreaking an iphone/ipad/itouch which allows you to download any app for free? lol, yea ok!!!
ur waiting because ur not good with research obviously and if u knew what i know, u never have to wait to jailbreak/unlock anything because jailbreaking softwares now come out before the device itself and how many droid's do you really see vs iphones these days??? lol
not to mention you can safely overclock all apple devices now.
(#)
ios4 jailbreaker, redsn0w_win_0.9.5b5-5.zip
compliments of SiD3bAr.
(#)
Ok, You guys gotta get this thing released. My brother is doing crazy stuff Like putting windows 7 on a MAC….Now he is thinking about trying to get mac os on a dell. He and myself and slowly losing, need iphone 4 unlock. We understand there was a few issues but our brains are melting from the wait. Much respect!
(#)
can you email me when spirit for ipod touch 2g 4.0 comes out ?
(#)
Hej Dude!
I had iphone since the day it was released. i got all three of them. 2g, 3g and the 3gs . And i got them jailbroken countles of times. what my point is. you get tired of its feature. Yes its fun with all the endless apps that you could download and overclocking and etc. So what? Its not like you could bragg about it to your friends when everyone seems to have iphone these days. Its boring now. And yes thanks to geo, dev-team
and so on, but do you think these guys will be here for you iphone users forever? Or will never get tired one day or start taking payments instead?
Common. Apple will still update the firmware everytime a new Jailbreak is released. And believe me or not your iphone will crash just like mine did and you will still going to beg these guys for a new Jailbreak just like anyone else here.
Deal with that Dude.
(#)
I need to jailbreak my iPad. aghhhh
(#)
Me too! How long will it be? Are we looking at another week or more???
(#)
They should charge money i mean if they did people wouldnt care every 1 wants a jailbreak the only reason they delay is because its free if the got money they be more succseful and they can get more employees to work for them thus equaling faster jailbreak release.
(#)
My iphone 3gs version 4.01 are also waiting for jailbreak too.
(#)
uuggggggg. now i got to wait longer for the jailbreak. =(
(#)
When will the new Spirit come out? Most of our 3gs 4.0 no SHSH blob users are waiting………….
(#)

(#)

(#)
Hi All,
I understand all the Ho Hum around jailbreak not coming out yet. All I have to say is hope its soon. I want my ipad 3.2.1 working like it should.
(#)

(#)
