Spirit - Untethered Jailbreak for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad

Spirit is an untethered jailbreak for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad running on iOS 3.1.2 to 3.2. It was developed by the Comex who is a Wii homebrew developer. Spirit allows users to install software that is not approved by Apple and it is available for Windows, Linux and Mac platforms. It allows users to jailbreak their iDevice.

Spirit became available immediately after the launch of the iPad 3G in May 2010. The exploit used was later patched by Apple on versions 4.0 and 3.2.1. On the 21st of May 2010 p0sixninja who is a member of the Chronic Dev Team stated via Twitter that he had ported the spirit jailbreak to Linux operating systems. Spirit works on all Apple devices using iOS 3.1.2 to 3.2 and it is an untethered jailbreak and it installs Cydia by default.

If you plan on using the spirit jailbreak you are advised to back up your SHSH blobs in case anything goes wrong and you can undo things.
