Technical Definition of Jailbreak:
The iPhone, iPod touch, iPad & Apple TV hack that allow users to gain access to the entire Unix filesystem. In Unix terms, this refers to changing the root of the directory tree to /.
Understandable Definition of Jailbreak:
A hack that gains access to areas of the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad that users aren’t supposed to mess with. Typically, this is an immediate prelude to either installing cool programs, unlocking the handset for use with another cellular network, or both.
Through jailbreaking, you are able to add additional applications to your iDevice. It allows you to do so by adding an application called Cydia to your iDevice. It also allows modding (changing) of your iDevice application icons, wallpaper, dock, status bar, chat bubbles, weather backgrounds, keyboard….etc. Wondering why you would want to jailbreak your iDevice? Visit our Why Jailbreak page.
For more information on the Cydia or Installer applications, see our f.a.q page.
For instructions on how to jailbreak your iDevice, see our jailbreak page.

if i jailbreak a phone is there a possiblity that i lose any information, pics, apps, etc during the process?
can you please let me know what are the risks of jailbreaking?
yes i have had experience with this situation twice. you lose all your data even pictures that you saved get delted
if you back up your iphone to itunes then you wont get any problems about losing data
Depends the new evasi0n jailbreak u don’t lose anything well me and my friends didn’t so I don’t think u should have any probs
The whole point about having an iPhone is to be able to take advantage of EVERYTHING, that’s why jailbreaking is so good and so fun,unlimited downloads, music, flash, controversial apps, pretty much everything, the only advise I give everyone is DONT jailbreak your iPhone or iPad or whatever yourselves go and download a Professional jailbreak solution like jaiPhone or something like that, you might risk your device badly by doing it by yourself
Jailbreaking is awesome why would anyone not want to jailbreak?
i wont to jailbreak my iphone 4 s please please help me!!!!!!!!!
do you risk any phone security through the original company my jail braking?
Jailbreaking makes iPhones into what they should have been from the start. In fact, I object to the term “jailbreaking”. Instead there should be a term for non-jailbroken phones. Idiotproof.
But we aren’t all idiots are we? Or do Apple assume that in order to be apple user, one must frist be an idiot?
Would you get caught, and if you do, what would happen?
Maybe close the device??!
does jailbreak downloading need a professional to download it?

hi bro
is there is any problem to bring contract based iphone to india…if i will bring what about the contract
try going into an apple shop and they will give you some advice
Hahahahahah no. Do NOT bring your jailbroken device ( or going to be jail broken ) in. Jail breaking voids your agreement with Apple therefore they will just turn around and say no. If you jailbreak a device and there’s problems, just reset it in iTunes.

i thought jailbreaking for iphone and jailbreaking for ipad both are legal. iPhone and iPad are under the Same organization that is Apple. so i think jailbreaking is legal for both iphon, ipad or ipod. However very nice article having a lot of informations for every iphone user.
Can jailbreak damage the phone in anyways? Can it loose data?
Is is possible to revert back to original status after jailbraking ?
Yes, easy. Just restore in iTunes or from the Settings app on your iDevice and then restore from the iCloud.
My 11 year old keeps bugging me to let him jailbreak his Ipad 3. Is this appropriate for an 11 year old?
It is, but just like and iPad that is not jailbroken, you still need to monitor your children. Jailbreaking opens the door to the ability to hide apps, hack App Store apps for free and who knows what else naughty things. We allow it on our children’s iPhones but we have passwords on everything and monitor their use.
