How to Jailbreak your iPhone

As jailbreaking is hacking into a smart phone’s default OS, you can start by using the Spirit, Jailbreakme, RedSn0w jailbreaking app which also works on other Apple devices such as iPods and iPads.

1. Download Spirit, Jailbreakme, RedSn0w or any popular jailbreak tool of your choice as there are a lot of jailbreaking tools for Windows and Mac. But like any downloadable wares, there are risks involved and your iPhone may become prone to attacks. So be warned. You will also need a iTunes 9.1.1 (or higher whichever is the latest now) and yes, an iPod cable.

2. Plug your Apple device, wait for iTunes acknowledge the device is connected. Create a Back up of whatever you have stored on your device into the iTunes library, and sync it. This is safety measure, you can revert back to in case your first attempt wasn't successful.

3. Run your Jailbreak tool and wait for the menu window to appear onscreen, wait for the message that the device is properly connected. Then click “Jailbreak” or whatever button that signifies the jailbreaking processs to begin, this may awhile so wait until the screen prompts that that the restore is complete. When done, your Apple device should restart. It's that simple!

4. Upon rebooting, an icon called Cydia will appear on your screen, most jailbreaking tools will install Cydia. Cydia is an alternate app store where you can download free apps or pay for good mods and tweaks. Don't worry the original App Store will continue to be functional and yes, you can still shop from iTunes and the App Store after jailbreaking. There's not really much of a change except you just have a new app store called Cydia.

In summary, jailbreaking is quite easy that even a luddite can feel his way through. Like I've said, you just need to download a piece of software, plug your iOS device into your computer with a cable, and let the run software runs its course. There is no specific knowledge or skills required.

Phone Jail Breaking

Are you confident enough to jail break your pricey phone?




As much we all have a love and hate relationship with tech giant Apple, anyone is entitled to jailbreak their phone. Yes, you can. You have the right to since you bought it, but it doesn't come without risk. Your phone will be more vulnerable to attacks and can become unstable. And once you do opt for a jailbreak, there's no turning back, you're on your own. Expect your warranty to be voided plus no or totally zero tech support from Apple.

By jailbreaking your phone, you are breaking free of all the limitations imposed upon your device by the manufacturer. Hence, you can install third-party apps not part of the menu of the Apple Store. It all boils down to personal choice. Through phone jailbreaking, you’re welcome to unlock your phone and go for another carrier without the blessing of Apple in mind. You can opt for AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. If you want full control then go for a jailbreak, but like I said, it comes with a risk.
