Jailbreaking FAQ

This item was filled under [ Jailbreaking ]



More info: stateofjailbreak.com In this video I go over several frequently asked questions about jailbreaking. This video is meant for a first time or novice jailbreaker who is interested in knowing the basics of what it means to jailbreak your Apple device be it an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Apple TV. Some of the topics I cover include what exactly is jailbreaking, what Cydia is, whether or not you can harm your device by jailbreaking it, what SHSH blobs are and how to use them, the difference between a tethered and untethered jailbreak and what happens when you update your device when jailbroken.

    i saw the mini mac theme for ipod touch, though according to most people and post dates its only for 3G users, any idea how to port themes on a computer?(dosen’t have it on cydia, have to download and then add it to the ipod using OpenSH or some other program)

    Very helpful indeed, I hav a few questions though, 1. All the videos I’ve watched say that iPod touch 3G can only be a tethered jailbreak software, can you confirm this. 2. How do you update jailbreak software? 3. Are all the different jailbreak softwares the same or are they different individually?
