Jailbreak for free. Protect your personal information & privacy!

Here it is folks. Make sure you have downloaded all the required files from the links in my previous posts. Be careful what you download from the internet. For example, the 'Spirit Fixer' program is originally only a 22kb file which has now ballooned to a wonder 6.9mb file. Go figure what other delicious extras have been hidden in it. Take the original, and download the much smaller, original file from the link provided.

Note: This jailbreak is not for iPhone 3G & 3G(S) owners who need to unlock their device. This program only jailbreaks, it does not enable unlocking! If you use this to jailbreak, you might lose your unlock and be dead in the water.

Preparatory Steps
1. Turn off any anti-virus software.
2. Any version of iTunes can be used, beginning from version 9.0.3.
3. You have completed grabbing your SHSH.
4. For current jailbroken devices using Blackra1n, please restore to the stock version of your current firmware. To do so, please ensure you have modified the 'hosts' file found in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc. Open the file (as administrator if using Vista, 7) using notepad, at the end of the file, add in this line "74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com". Save and close the file. When you restore, hold down the shift key and left click on 'RESTORE' in iTunes and it will connect with this Cydia server thinking it is Apple.
5. Backup your data with iTunes! Always Backup! And do not encrypt the data.

Step 1
Run the 'Spirit' program after you have connected your device via its USB cable.

If you are running on Windows XP, simply click on Jailbreak. Before you can even blink, it's done. Simple. Now wait for the newly jailbroken iPhone to reboot. The initial reboot will take about a minute.

If you are running Vista or 7, before running the 'Spirit' program, right click on it and select properties.

Under Compatibility mode, select 'Windows 98 / Windows Me', run as administrator, Apply and close the window. Now run the program and proceed with the jailbreak. 

That's ALL!

There's no step 2, no more steps. Go back to my very first blog entry and follow the following basic steps.

1. Run Cydia.

2. Install Terminal to change your root and mobile passwords.

3. Install 'Installous' & AppSync.

4. Install 'PrivaCy' to protect your personal information and privacy.

Whatever else you wish to install, please be careful. Not all extensions and Cydia apps run well together. For more advice, I am available via email, feel free to contact me on the topics posted here. I can finally get back to working on my own scripts and the Kuro theme packs. Here's a few screen shots of some new additions and settings I will make available. 

More options made available to settings. 

Enabled Emoji without having to install any programs, more precise custom brightness and auto-dimming to save battery power, short cuts to favourite applications and more!
