If I jailbreak now, can I just restore my iphone from iTunes in the future, and then will my phone be factory again?
 
This is not for the faint at heart. I basically just bricked my iPhone 3.1.3. Dead as a rock. I followed all the instructions but I can't even get it to boot. Trying to restore in iTunes now. I knew I shouldn't try this. Oh well, if I can restore, I will never try to JB again that is for sure. If I can't restore, I guess I'm phoneless until iPhone 4 comes out.
 
Hi,
I am totally new on JB things.

Basically I just connected mine iphone and run the spirit application.
Once it is done, what else I need to do to get Cydia application install?

Please advise,
Eric
 
Just thought this might help someone:

I installed Window Spirit using the compatibility thing, just in case... It worked fine... And right when it came to be done the process I watched in horror as I accidentially hit START again instead of what I thought was QUIT!

OH NO! It redid the processs... Sure as sheeeit no Cydia. I waited bout 10 mins, reading and googling, and then I figured, well, if it ain't gonna work it ain't gonna work, might as well try it again.

3rd times a charm! :p
 
Spirit jailbreak

I am too experiencing the same problems some of you are experiencing with the spirit jailbreak. I rest pre my 3GS to have the untethered option and everytime I install something out of cydiathat requires a reboot I am unable to reboot. It just shows the apple logo and it gets stuck there.I try to rejailbreak it 4 times. I am going to. Continue to try again. Any ideas?

Had this happen on my iPad.

Hold down the power and home buttons until phone/ipad restarts and you see the apple logo. From there run the spiritjb again. Hold down the power and home button again until the power turns off. Then press the power button again to turn iphone/ipad back on.

Not a tutorial. But it worked for me.

I tried that and it didn't work. What did work for me was to make sure I didn't restore from previous back up and it worked fine. Man I gott a get used to typing on this iPad. Lol. Thanks for the help either way it's appreiate it.
 
Hi, a couple of questions. I am currently using blackra1n on my teathered 3gs. I am about to do a restore, but I dont want to upgrade to the latest firmware. I am not sure how to restore back to 3.1.2? I know I have files backed up on souriks server, but I'm not sure what to do with them or how to access them. How should I go about doing this restore. Sorry for the noob questions.

Yes, just do a restore in itunes and it will set everything back to factory.
 
Worth it

Currently I'm on my 3G running 3.1.2 that is jailbroken. Is it worth it for me to upgrade to 3.1.3 and then use the spirit to jailbreak it. I know that I want to keep my jailbreak and I'm wondering if upgrading to 3.1.3 is worth it. If I do that then will I be able to keep all of my app settings, app store and cydia?
 
Im just going to go for it and install it on my ipod touch mc, however, if anything goes wrong, can i just restore to factory settings and im back to step 1?

3.1.3 has nothing of value to 95% of users. Dont spend the time rejailbreaking.

Agree 100%. I upgraded to 3.1.3, but only because there was an app store app that was requiring it and because I use pwnage tool I am able to preserve by 4.26.08 BB. Otherwise I would have stayed at 3.1.2.
