iPhone Jailbreaking

I know there are alot of threads about jailbreaking the iphone. I have used the search key to help me in my search so if I am going to repeat any suggestions that has been discussed I am sorry.



Q:Can you return back to the original status of the phone after jailbreaking it?



A: Jailbreaking iphone is an incredibly easy process using the current jailbreaking software. Obviously backup your phone in itunes before jailbreaking and this will allow you to restore your device to its previous un-jailbroken state if you are not happy with it.



Q:Will existing apps loos if you jailbreak ?



A: All your apps will be still existing. However I also suggest :

a) backing up your iphone

b) doing a restore to factory settings (i.e. brand new state)

c) jailbreaking the device with redsn0w

d) restoring from your backup as necessary (this will restore your previous apps).

I have done it this way and it has been perfect.



Q:Is jailbreaking the way to go then the standard apple iphone ?



A: I would suggest that jailbreaking is the way to go as it gives you that extra level of flexibility. Some elements of the jailbreak can be draining on the battery and can thus be perceived by users as being negative, however it is the USERS CHOICE. The great thing about jailbreaking is you can be selective in what features you want. If you just want the ability to run background apps then just download that program and thats it. I recommend trying it out and you have the ability to restore if you're not happy.



Q:Can someone explain all the pro's and con's about a jailbreaked iphone ?



A: The pros include the obvious flexibility and access to apps prohibited by Apple in the app store. It allows you to customise your device and make it stand out from the crowd and provides a great range of really helpful features .The downsides include potential device instability and a drain on battery life when using some applications. Also, Apple will not honour the manufacturers warranty if they see your device is jailbroken.



Q:Also do you need to unlock the iphone aswell or just redsnow it only ?



A: When you access to Cydia and other third party sources of programs that arent allowed in the app store.

Unlocking the phone is done and can be downloaded from within Cydia. If you are happy on your network and have no need to use a different sim card there is no need to install jailbreaking software.



Q:What happens when a new iphone version update happens ?



A: When you install the 3.1 update for instance Apple actually puts a new image of the software on your phone and thus the jailbreak is wiped. Therefore the devs recommend waiting to update your device until they have come out with an updated jailbreak for the 3.1 software. It is more of an issue with people who rely on Ultrasn0w to use other networks because if you update and it isnt compatible your device will effectively be a very expensive ipod touch.
