Guide to jailbreak instructions

Jailbreak table

Jailbreak iPhone / iPod touch / iPad / Apple TVnot officially supported by Apple that allows you to open access to the software and file system of the device.
Jailbreak features
  • First of all, jailbreak gives you the opportunity to install programs not from the App Store. In different years, various sources of third-party applications for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad appeared - Installer, Rock Your Phone, Icy, but for quite some time the main (and practically the only) alternative application store is Cydia - a project by Jay Freeman (aka Saurik). Cydia has thousands of third-party programs, add-ons, and tweaks, most of which are free. Cydia hosts programs that do not make it to the App Store due to Apple’s stringent restrictions.
  • Secondly, jailbreak allows you to do self-tuning iOS for your own needs. For example, you can turn off background processes to significantly extend the battery life of a gadget, or add dictionaries to iOS to quickly translate words in Safari, iBooks and other programs. Opportunities for additional settings iOS - weight.
  • Thirdly, the jailbreak offers great opportunities to change the interface of iOS. With the help of the Winterboard theme manager, you can choose a completely different style for the system interface - from replacing the dock to completely modifying all system icons, switches and screens.
  • Fourth, jailbreak provides the ability to install pirated applications on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. It is enough to replace a number of iOS system files, and the code signature check is disabled, which allows you to install applications that were not purchased in the App Store. Alas, in the minds of many users jailbreak is associated with piracy, although the jailbreak procedure itself does not mean hacking applications.
legal information
In the US, Russia, Jailbreak does not violate the copyright of Apple and third parties, whose applications are installed, bypassing the App Store, but the legislation varies from country to country.
Apple itself adheres to the view that the Jailbreak is illegal. After the jailbreak procedure, the device loses the Apple warranty and is not subject to warranty repair. But according to the laws of Russia, your device must accept under warranty.

The pros and cons of jailbreak
5 reasons to jailbreak
  • New interface
IOS 7 has opened up new space for modifying the iPhone and iPad. However, real freedom is still very far away. Jailbreak allows you to remove all restrictions from the operating system and transform the user interface. Thanks to tweaks from Cydia, you can change icons, fonts, lock screen, system menu, completely transforming the standard look of the software shell. The possibilities are practically unlimited and each user can choose a design for iOS to their liking - add elements of a completely absent skeuomorphism or vice versa - to further simplify the interface of your favorite device.
  • New features
Owners of jailbroken iOS devices can install a new class of software that isn’t allowed in the Apple store. Developers of official applications must adhere to the strict rules of the company, so they can not fully unleash the potential of custom iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Want to record phone conversations? Easy! Enable hidden iOS settings? No problem. Or maybe remove ads in Safari or YouTube? Activate flash? Add true multitasking? Use launcher? The list goes on and on.
  • Security enhancement
It is believed that jailbreak reduces the number of levels of protection used by iOS devices to defend against viruses and hacker attacks. In fact, no matter how paradoxical this may sound, “hacking” iOS, the user can use more powerful tools to protect the OS. For example, tweaks like BioProtect or BioLockdown allow you to restrict access to applications and folders using a password or a fingerprint scanner, BiteSMS - restrict SMS messages, and Firewall iP - enable a firewall on the device. And tweaks like CleverPin can implement a truly intelligent protection system.
  • Remove restrictions
Apple has limited many iOS features. Unlike Mac OS X, you cannot install third-party applications in the mobile OS or fine-tune the OS, such as using the same Terminal. Only thanks to jailbreak, iPhone and iPad users can transfer YouTube video in good quality over 3G, use FaceTime calls, panoramic shooting, camera filters or Slow Motion mode on unsupported devices, upload music without iTunes and share files between gadgets via Bluetooth. What about removing restrictions on sending photos to Mail or WhatsApp? And this is not a complete list of what is available on a jailbroken device.
  • New experience
This is an incredible paradox. iOS may be the best mobile platform on the market and at the same time very, very boring. And Apple itself is to some extent to blame. All iPhone and iPad look the same - each has the same rows of icons, the same icons and menus. Jailbreak device is more interesting to use not only from a technical, but also from a practical point of view. After all, a gadget with less restrictions is much more attractive. How cool is it to connect the PS4 joystick to your iPhone or iPad and play a new shooter on familiar buttons, remember commands in the Mobile Terminal, or sort through the desktop effects in Barrel? Nobody says that the App Store offers few games and entertainment applications, but jailbreak is a different kind of fun and a special pleasure. But is not the iPhone and iPad ultimately released for this?
5 reasons against jailbreaking
  • Stability
Jailbreak can lead to malfunctions of iOS 7, as well as regular and third-party applications. Even data loss is possible. Judging by the references to problems with jailbroken devices, such an outcome is indeed possible. However, it should be noted that iOS 7 also works less stable than its predecessor, including on the iPhone 5s and iPad Air. Spontaneous device reboots and crashes of programs, including those adapted for iOS 7 and even full-time (Safari browser) have become much more frequent.
  • Battery life
Apple applications are carefully optimized to minimize battery consumption. Third-party programs and tweaks installed via Cydia on jailbreak devices do not differ in such a caring attitude towards the battery. “Hacked” iPhones and iPads can work fine, but no one can guarantee that some applications will spend the charge “in the background”, leaving the user in the afternoon with a fully discharged gadget.
  • IOS updates
In some cases, unauthorized modifications lead to irreversible changes in the iOS operating system. As a result, when a user puts up-to-date updates on a hacked iPhone or iPad, the gadget may simply stop working. In the latest versions, jailbreak blocks the system of automatic updates, so users of “hacked” iOS devices will not be able to update automatically.
  • Problems with regular functions
Installing a jailbreak can adversely affect some of the standard functions of the system. For example, there may be problems with push notifications used for notifications of new mail, messages, likes, etc. Sometimes it even happens that notifications designed for one hacked device are sent to another. Unstable can start to work after breaking i-devices and other system services. In addition, communication problems may occur. Users may experience dropped calls, slow or unstable data transfers, and incorrect or slowed-down location data.
  • Security
Jailbreak reduces the number of protection levels used by iOS devices to defend against viruses and hacker attacks. Apple full-time software has been tested by both Apple employees during the development process and hundreds of millions of people in everyday use, and any “holes” quickly become public, and then eliminated. The software installed after jailbreaking can contain any malicious code that may go unnoticed for a long time. So the risk of unauthorized access to your information or damage to the device through malicious code after jailbreaking increases many times.

With regard to the question of deprivation of a guarantee, the “hacking” is indeed a violation of the license agreement, since Apple forbids modifying the iPhone and iPad operating system. However, the user, before taking the device to the company, can always restore the factory firmware via iTunes or completely reset the settings through the system menu, returning the gadget to its original state.

Apple's jailbreak stance

Types of jailbreak :
  • Untethered jailbreak (untethered jailbreak) done once and for all, more precisely, until the next flashing of your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Apple TV. Untethered jailbreak is based on such vulnerabilities that allow open access to the file system every time the device is booted without any external intervention.
  • Semi-untethered jailbreakprovides access to the file system of the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Apple TV only until the first reboot or power off. The only minus to reboot or power off is the inability to use Cydia and tweaks installed from Cydia. Thus, a semi-associated jailbreak requires re-launching the jailbreak application, which re-uploads the files required for jailbreaking to the device and causes it to load into jailbreak mode during work.
  • Tethered jailbreakprovides access to the file system iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Apple TV only until the first reboot or power off. At the next boot, the device either will not be able to boot up at all, or it will still boot, but many applications will stop working. Thus, the attached jailbreak requires connecting the gadget to the computer and restarting the jailbreak utility, which re-uploads the files required for the jailbreak into the device and forces it to boot in normal mode.No longer relevant!
  • Semi-tethered jailbreakprovides access to the file system iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Apple TV only until the first reboot or power off. This type of jailbreak allows you to reboot the device without connecting to your PC. The only negative of such a reboot is the inability to use Safari, Mail, Cydia and tweaks installed from Cydia. Thus, a semi-tethered jailbreak requires connecting the gadget to the computer and restarting the jailbreak utility, which re-uploads the files required for the jailbreak into the device and forces it to boot in normal mode.No longer relevant!
