What is Jailbreaking your iPhone 4 mean?
In simple words Jailbreaking your iPhone pretty much means getting rid of the limits Apple puts on their devices running the iOS operating system. Jailbreaking allows you to download various apps, themes, tweaks, utilities and more that are not available on the itunes store. So follow these steps and you will be on your way to making your iPhone unique to all of your friends and family who are also iPhone bearers.Step 1: Prepare your iPhone
To prepare your iPhone all you need to do is simply make sure your iPhone is up to date on the iOS software. You can usually update your iPhones iOS software through your iPhone if not through iTunes.Step 2: Download & Install Absinthe
So first off you will need this specific program to begin your journey to a Jailbroken iPhone. The program is called Absinthe. Go to their website (http://absinthejailbreak.com/) and download their latest version of Absinthe. After, downloading the latest version of the program go ahead and install it onto your desktop.Step 3: Plug it in & Jailbreak your iPhone
Finally, all you have to do now is open Absinthe, plug your iPhone in and click "Jailbreak". Wait a couple minutes and BAM! your iPhone is now Jailbroken.Step 4: You're Done!
After jailbreaking your iPhone you should not have an app called "Cydia". Cydia will be your base for installing all the apps, tweaks, utilities and more.Step 5: Lets Get Started!
So now you have Cydia! To get started off I suggest everyone install WinterBoard first. Winterboard is an app use to "respring" your device. Respringing your device is sort of like restarting it. When you download new themes, icons, or anything of that nature the new additions to your iPhone will not apply until you respring it! Next, I would also recommend you download a great app called "Installous". Installous is an amazing app. The app allows you to virtually download any apps on the iTunes store for free! Yes, you read correctly for free. So now you can get all your Angry Birds, Doodle Jump and more apps for FREE! There are plenty of great apps out there. So don't be scared to venture out and give every tweak, app, utility and more a test drive because you can always get rid of it if you don't like it.
