whats is jailbreak
ailbreak is a process that allows iPhone 4S users (also iPod Touch,
iPad and other iPhone versions) to have access to root operating system,
namely iOS, raising any restriction implemented by Apple on that
device. In addition, it allows the installation of third-party
applications (app), applications that were not supported by Apple for
one reason or another in the App Store, through software like Cydia,
Installous or Rock.
Do not confuse
jailbreak with
unlock (unlock the device from a certain network to use any carier). Jailbreak without unlock possible, not vice versa!
why people jailbreak their iphone
No restrictions! The main reason was to be able to use your iPhone 4S
on any network not only in those who have made partnership with Apple.
For this needs to be done unlock that would not have worked without
being able to access the root of the device operating system.
Another reason is to be able to install applications rejected by
Apple from certain causes, and to install applications that are fully
customize to your preferences.
Another thing possible due to a
free jailbreak is some quite expensive software installation for FREE.
advantages and disatages
The benefits are obvious. A
jailbroken iPhone 4S is able to provide much more functionality than the standard one. Here are some of the jailbreak benefits:
- The ability to unlock the network;
- The possibility of modifying the system files;
- The ability to install applications rejected by Apple and other applications developed by third-party companies via Cydia;
- Able to install any software for free;
- Possible customization for a device that have installed previous versions of iOS;
- Bluetooth transfer between iPhone 4S and other devices (iPhone, iPod, PC, ... any device that has Bluetooth)
Disadvantages are little. A
free jailbreak process
is completely reversible by a simple restore in iTunes. The only real
disadvantage can occur when you jailbreak your iPhone 4S, the process
crashes and sometimes you are forced to resume it or do a restore.
- The possibility of losing the warranty. However, by a simple restore process in iTunes, bring the phone to its original shape;
- Impairing the functionality, for many applications installed on Cydia. Applies when you abuse the installing software;
its possible without jailbreak
Cydia founder, Jay Freeman, said that more than 10% of the iPhones
are jailbroken. So, YES, considering that almost 90% of iPhones have not
used this opportunity.
If you have the money to purchase all the interesting application,
you do not mind the network in which is locked your iPhone and want to
update iOS as soon as it appears, do not need and really do not have to
use a free jailbreak on your device.
it's legal
Yes! There have been attempts in the U.S. for this process to be
outlawed but the trial court has given the verdict that the jailbreak
process is perfectly legal as long as you do not use code owned by
someone else.
All one needs to do first is to do is find a reputable free jailbreak
tool to handle the job. One must also check if the latest version of
iTunes is running on your iPhone 4S. This must be properly in sync so
that important files will be backed up easily
