We saw a video a few days back in which Geohot performed an untethered jailbreak for iPhone 3.1.3. This will most probably also work on the iPhone 3.2 firmware for iPad. In the meanwhile, another iPhone hacker by the name of comex released another video, which showed off untethered userland (browser based) jailbreak for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. This new userland jailbreak of iPhone 3.1.3 by comex has now been given a name – say hello to “Spirit”, an untethered userland jailbreak for iPhone.
Spirit is based on a exploit, which is similar to the one found by hackers at the Pwn2Own contest. It will potentially work on every iPhone running 3.1.3 firmware with the new bootrom, and hopefully with the iPad as well. “Spirit” has also been confirmed as authentic by MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev-Team. While no ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) has been given, it is expected to be out once Apple rolls out a new firmware update for iPhone and iPod touch users.
In the meantime, you can also check out our complete jailbreaking guides for iPhone 3.1.3 firmware for iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS and iPod touch 1G/2G using redsn0w 0.9.3, redsn0w 0.9.4, sn0wbreeze, PwnageTool 3.1.5. Unlocking can be done using ultrasn0w or blacksn0w.
For iPhone 3.1.2 firmware, you can use blackra1n, PwnageTool, redsn0w, sn0wbreeze, ultrasn0w and blacksn0w to jailbreak and unlock your iPhone and iPod touch.
UPDATE 1: Jailbreak iPad with Spirit is Real ! More info here.
UPDATE 2: Jailbreak iPad with Blackra1n is confirmed by Geohot! More info here.

OK….WTF???? Is it me that is smoking something or the writers of this story? I ask that, and I am asking because, I seem to be missing something when I watch this video.
Look, it's an Ipod not an Iphone in the VIDEO, Yes??? If this jailbreak works and is supposed to be an untethered jailbreak for a 3.1.3 Iphone running 05.11.07 Baseband, why not show a before and after video powering up, down and up again?
My God….YES I WANT THIS but let me see it with an Iphone!!

patience is a virtue. everyone is complaing about the JB for 3.1.3
if you guys think you can do better, then just do it yourself. stop f***ing complaining and wait like everyone else!!!

Thank you so much for helping me jailbreak my ipod. I tried all others and it didn't seem to work for me. Once again, thank you.

Hi, Thanks for this it has worked with my iphone once you download it, it works simular to black rain after you just add the sources brought the 3gs iphone and done it straight awat, belive me it is easy to do only took 3secs to do after downloading it
(#)
Download latest vrsion of ifunbox and it will probably work.

Thanks a lot it worked perfect for my iphone, I was on firmware 3.1.2 tethered jailbreak which was pain to me. now I am jailbroken and untethered. I faced some problems having the spirit software to work initially, then later redownloaded it and worked perfectly. My advice do back up before you do any thing as you might end up by loosing all your data. Thanks again

after using Spirit to jailbreak the phone, can I use ultrasn0w to unlock?
how do I know if my phone has been successfully jailbreaked and unlocked?
os: 3.1.3
fw: 05.12.01
cydia has been downloaded by Spirit
then install ultrasn0w from cydia
do I need to do anything else?? such as downgrade from 05.12 to 04.xx (or whatever it's supposed to be.)
thanks a bunch!
