Will a jailbroken iPhone update through iTunes normally when there are new iOS versions?
Yes, you can normally update your firmware. You'll lose the jailbreak and need to re-jailbreak (if one is out for the update), but there are some settings that stick around after updating (!). For example, I had installed a 5-row keyboard hack, and after updating, my keyboard was dead-on-arrival (it would not appear). I had to go into the keyboard settings and do some mucking around to get it back.If you want to be ultra-safe, restore using the new version (which will wipe out everything on the device). Just get a good backup first.
If I buy an unlocked or jail broken iPhone 3G can I use it without a having a data plan?
Unlocking is the process by which the iPhone baseband is modified to accept the SIM card of any GSM carrier. This is entirely different than a jailbreak though a jailbreak is required for the current unlocks to take effect. Jailbreak is the process of hacking an iPhone to free it from Apple restrictions. Because the iPhone is far from flawless as Apple created it, thousands of iPhone users have flocked to Jailbreak in search of iPhone changes and improvements. iPhone has been held back by limited customizability, text message privacy issues, and a lack of multitasking capabilities. But Jailbreak can solve all of these problems with apps and fixes available in Cydia and Installer. Unlocking your iPhone is basically removing the SIM restrictions that are placed on the modem. When you do this you will be able to use your iPhone on any carrier you choose. You can browse the following locations for more clarity. http://www.easyiphoneunlocking.com www.ipneunlock.com www.pumbl.com https://www.morld.com/ are some of the famous Iphone unlocking software companies which provide many details about iPhone unlocking and jail breaking through online.
Why is my jailbroken iPhone going to safe mode so often?
It's probably what Alex had said. Since Jailbreaking is somewhat of a common practice these days, its most likely not due to any sort of RAM restrictions as it barely makes a different on a "vanilla' Jailbroken phone. The rough of it comes to when you install packages that modify iOS and cause it to crash like that.This is 99% caused by a tweak that you had installed, as Alex had said. Now, if you are in a constant Loop, even when you are in SAFE MODE - this means that you will most likely need to Restore your phone and rejailbreak. But, if you can stay in Safe Mode, then get into Cydia, go over one by one and remove tweaks that you've installed. Be sure not to remove ones that were added automatically but anything that you know that you had installed. If you don't have it already, I would highest suggest Mobile Substrate Safe Mode (I think it may even be a default now) which allows you to hold down the Volume rocker (i think) when the phone turns on that basically disables all tweaks so that you're phone doesnt crash and you can go into Cydia and remove packages. I've had this happen myself on my iPad and sometimes if you even leave it at the "Crashed" screen, you can plug it into your computer, SSH into your phone with any available SSH client (I Use iFunbox) and then go into the Cydia Packages folder and just rename the files that are loading (each relates to a specific tweak that is installed) then restart the phone. If it was a Mobile Substrate tweak that was causing it to crash, that would resolve it.Be careful what you install as if you are the new iPhone 4s or iPad2, the New iPad, you won't be able to install 5.1.1 or lower anymore and will have to upgrade to the latest iOS6 which isnt available for a Jailbreak just yet.
What happens if I jailbreak my iPhone?
Generally, I consider Jailbreaking as opening the door to awesomeness and uncertainty.Firstly once you jailbreak, you void your warranty. However, at time of Apple store visit, just delete the jailbreak apps and simply restore it and nobody will get to know about it and you'll have your warranty back. The only thing is that you may not able to jailbreak it soon as they might update your iPhone and you'll have to wait for the next Jailbreak in case it's not already arrived for that latest iOS.Secondly, your iPhone becomes a bit insecure but with proper use and handling you can avoid any potential threat or attack like by using, only trusted tweaks from trusted developers.Now, skipping all the general disclaimers & warnings here's whats in for you in a Jailbreak.No 1 for me is actual cache cleaner in the app named iCleaner Pro. It actually works and helps you in cleaning your cache and freeing up space on your device.Customisations and tons of tweaks. You can customise your home screen, folders, app logos, notifications, app colour, fonts, network logo, date & time etc. I mean the options are many and you can select tweaks based on your choice. You can block ads on Youtube app, run youtube app is "picture in picture" mode which enables you to view Youtube while using any other app (now available in official Android's Oreo update).You can add extra icons on your notification centre, change the colour of icons, the icon's text,add wallpaper etc. You can add tweaks related to WhatsApp, Snapchat etc & als0 have an option to install enhaced apps like WhatsApp++ & YouTube++. You can tweak certain behaviours of different apps which is usually not possible. You can have 3D touch functionality on iPhones below iPhone 6s. You can change certain animations, enable haptic feedback etc. I mean the list goes on and you can even request the developers for certain tweaks which you need but most probably it should already exist.Check the link below for the list of all compatible tweaks on iOS 10 and below :iOS 10 CompatibilityTrust me, once you open the doors of uncertainty & awesomeness, there's no going back & you'll love every bit of your jailbroken iPhone.Hope this helps :) :) :)
IPhone has phantom touches to screen..?
iPhone 5 has phantom touches to screen.. when I do anything (text, facebook, pinterest) it starts going crazy and randomly selects things and starts typing, etc. I've done a soft and hard reset and fully restored it. I was hoping to figure it out instead of waiting for a new one. I'd prefer to resolve it with my phone. Any advice would be fantastic!
What does jailbreak an iphone mean?
a jailbreak is a program (like limera1n, which works for all ipods/iphones) that allows you to use programs on your iphone that you would otherwise have to pay for, or that you couldn't get on a non-jailbroken iphone.
Can i jailbreak iphone 5?
Sadly that is true. The current jailbreak is only for 64bit devices. But don't be too hopeless, since the 4s will not get iOS 10 and it is a 32bit device, it is very probable somebody will come up with a jailbreak for both to keep the 4s jail broken for life (both since if an exploit for 32 bit is used it'll probably be compatible with the 5 and the iPod 5 and iPads with 32bit. If not, maybe a team will release an iOS 10 jailbreak for all devices. You should've stayed on iOS 9.0 or 8.4 and lower, if you ever had it on that version. I recently sold my 5 on 8.4 jail broken.
If I jailbreak my iOS device, will I still be able to use the regular app store?
Depends. If done in a way that is legal, you should be able to. Just be aware that the jailbreaking process is not warranted by Apple and will void your warranty if discovered. Certain other features of your device may not function properly either.As an Apple Developer myself, I implore you not to use jailbreaking to download paid apps for free. It is illegal and is considered stealing the developer(s)' intellectual and physical property and may subject you to prosecution under the law of your area. Jailbreaking is fairly common, but can cause a lot of problems if done improperly or you don't know what you're doing. Think long and hard about the decision to jailbreak, and I personally suggest you restrain from jailbreaking your device.
