Welcome to the wonderful world of jailbreaking, each week I’m going to focus on how to better take advantage of your new found freedom by featuring an app only available through Cydia.
This week I’m going to walk you through jailbreaking your iDevice, this used to be a lot more in depth process, but thanks to programs like QuickPwn and Spirit things are easier than ever.
Disclaimer: This tutorial is only for iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch running firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2 and users running any version of iTunes 9 except 9.2. This does NOT work with iOS 4 or the new iPhone 4.
Looking for a jailbreak for the newly released 3.2.1 firmware for the iPad? Sadly you’ll have to wait a little while longer, but rest assured we’ll be posting information on any new jailbreaks that are released.
Step 1: Download the appropriate version of Spirit.
Step 2: Launch Spirit and connect your iDevice to your computer. You should see a screen similar to this:
Step 3: Hit the jailbreak button and go grab a cup of coffee. The app should say “Jailbreak complete” almost immediately, but you’ll have to wait for your device to restart, as that’s when the magic happens.
Step 4: Verify that the jailbreak was successful by looking for the Cydia icon that should now be on your home screen.
That’s it! Check back over the next few weeks for which apps you should download for your newly jailbroken iDevice.
