Spirit

[Perasite]

I have a 3G with Blackra1n on it right now. It's backed up. What do I need to do in order to upgrade to the latest OS and jailbreak with Spirit?

Can I just upgrade the OS and then immediately run Spirit?
Do I need to restore first? If so, do I lose everything?

Thanks for the help guys.

Do the upgrade then restore. If you restore after using spirit you will restore to the regular un-jailbroken os.

OK, so:
1. upgrade OS
2. restore
3. Spirit

Correct?

Yes that is correct. Thats what I did on my dads phone and it worked just fine.

What OS are you on? If you used blackra1n you're on 3.1.2 and there is no reason to upgrade to 3.1.3, OS 4 is coming out next month.

I would just wait till that comes out and jailbreak it.

Either way back-up all your data first, then upgrade, then jailbreak, but again, seems pretty pointless to upgrade from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 (you're not on a tethered jailbreak cuz ur on a 3G).

Yes! view this thread on how to backup your SHSH blobs.

And out of curiosity, what carrier are you using/planning to use the iPhone on? (cuz if tmobile/any gsm other than att is involved DO NOT UPGRADE TO 3.1.3)

I'll be staying AT&T. I'm currently on 3.1.2 and really, I'm just planning ahead to 4. I don't see a reason to move to 3.1.3.

yeah 3.1.3 didn't offer anything other than a supposed battery indicator crash and updating the baseband so unlocked users would be screwed. If you're on 3.1.2 just wait till 4 drops in a couple weeks.

Since you're on a 3G though you're going to have to get a hacked version of 4 because they turned off multitasking for 3G (even though all us jailbroken 3G users have been multitasking for a long time with no issues...)

Hoping Verizon releases that sexy new iPhone 4G so I can switch to them
