What is the JailBreak?

Last week we talked about the method that downloads apps without using credit card. This week we will follow this subject, and talk about how to jailbreak (JB) our IPad, IPhone and IPod.

First, some of you may want to ask, “Is JB illegal or forbidden?” The answer to this question is NO. Simply JB our Ipad, Iphone and IPod is a legal movement, but if user encroaches intellectual property rights by JB, that is another thing.

The only disadvantageous of JB is that whenever you complete power off, you have to restart it by computer. Nevertheless, it is rare that user have to complete power off our IPod, Iphone or Ipad. (There is information that 4.3.1 is perfect JB, so we don’t have to worry about it anymore.)

Therefore, follow those steps; you’ll soon have a JB IPad.

A.  IPAD 4.3.1 JB 

1.          Make sure your IPad's IOS is 4.3.1. If you don’t know what the generations your IOS is, connect your Ipad to computer and “ITunes”, and update it to 4.3.1.
2.          You will need some date that help you JB.
          (1)      JB main software
          (2)      IOS date(4.2.1) (every generation of IPad,IPod and IPhone have their own date)
          (3)      IOS date(4.3.1)
          (4)      Leading software
3.          Because of the risk of the JB, this part I decide to PO the Chinese website.

It is the clearest way that I have ever tried. If there is any problem, welcome make a comment, I will return it as soon as I can.

B.   (4.2.1) JB

The reason why I differentiate part A and part B is that Ipad’s IOS has updated to 4.3.1 these days, at the same time some Iphone and IPod is still in 4.2.1 mode. If the IOS mode is 4.2.1, then we can use the old way to JB.

 
1.          Prepare these date:
  (1)      JB software(redsn0w)
  (2)      IOS date 4.2.1(Iphone or IPod)
2.          make sure your Iphone (IPod) is 4.2.1.
3.          Connect your Iphone(IPod) to computer, and let it power off (hold the power button 3 seconds, and drag the “拖曳槓桿關機”)
4.          Open the redsn0w, and click the Browse button. Then choose the IOS date 4.2.1. Then click the Next button.
5.          Make sure your Iphone (IPOD) is really power off. Then clicks Next button without doing anything at this page.
6.          This is the most importance step, so be carefully!!
      (1)      Hold the power button (at the edge of machine) 3 seconds!!
      (2)      Then do not release your hand, and hold the home button (circle-shape, on the machine) 10 seconds!!
      (3)      Then release your hand that holding the power button, but do not release your hand that holding the home button 15 seconds.
7.          If everything goes smoothly, you don’t have to wait for 15 seconds. Normally there take 5 seconds to go to next page, and then you can just wait for JB.

Importance notice:

If you already JB in 4.2.1, you have to restart it by redsn0w too. The only difference is this :
 cancle the 1st , and mark the 3st one(Just boot.....)

I will take some picture these days to complete this article, so that you can read it clearly.

Next week we will introduce some interesting app, like Plants vs Zombie .

  1. Wow~~ Though I’m not familiar with 3c products, your introduction is so clear that I can easily understand all the steps.
    I don’t have an iphone or ipad, but I yearn for one. If I have iphone someday, I will try what you advised. Thank you for sharing these useful tips.^ ^
