Jailbreak iPhone through JailbreakMe

iPhone is a really amazing device to have one, but you might get little disappointed because of the limited number of applications available in Apple Apps store.Good news open source fans. You can still jailbreak iPhone OS, thanks to the iPhone Dev Team.

What is Jailbreaking?

According to Wikipedia “Jailbreaking is a process that allows iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users to run third-party unsigned code on their devices by unlocking the operating system and allowing the user root access.” Once jailbroken, iPhone users are able to download many extensions and themes previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as Cydia. It gives you the capability to run applications that are not avilable in Apple Apps Store.


Is jailbreaking legal in US?

It is not against the law, anymore, to jailbreak your iPhone but it will void your iPhone warranty. A new DCMA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) exemption has been approved by the Library of Congress, specifically allowing jailbreaking. If you  ever decide to remove your jailbreak, simply connect your iPhone to your computer,sync and press Restore in iTunes.A jailbroken iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch is still able to use the App Store and iTunes.
There are many ways to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad, but the most easiest one is by visting a site jailbreakme.com. JailbreakMe may or may not work for you depending on your firmware version. Check your version at jailbreakmatrix.com to see whether this method works for you. Make sure to create a backup of your data before doing anything.
  1. Go to jailbreakme.com on your iPhone browser and slide to jailbreak.
  2. The jailbreak begins downloading on your iPhone. A message Cydia has been added to the home screen will be shown. Click Ok.
  3. Go to the menu screen. You will find a Cydia icon. Launch Cydia and select user option. It will take some time to complete the process. You will see the Cydia home page, search the application you want in Cydia store and install it. Enjoy
