The DMCA recently added an exemption which made jailbreaking (i.e. installing unapproved applications onto your mobile device) completely legal. Not surprisingly, a lot of people are asking questions: Will it brick my phone? Is it safe to do?
This week on AppJudgment, Eileen and Graham walk you through one of the latest ways to jailbreak your iDevice: Jailbreakme.com. Unlike previous techniques, this method does not require you to connect to a computer and run some sketchy software. Simply visit Jailbreakme.com and “Swipe to Jailbreak” your iPhone!
What’s actually going on is that the website is exploiting a huge security flaw in the iPhone OS and Mobile Safari software, allowing it access to install software onto your device. We expect that this security flaw will be fixed soon, so jailbreak while you can!
Once the jailbreak is complete you will have the “Cydia” App Store on your home screen. This is an App Store filled with unapproved applications, mostly applications that Apple has either banned or will not approve.
Though it is completely legal now to jailbreak your device, Apple has already responded saying that jailbreaking will still void your iPhone’s warranty, and that it can make the iPhone less stable and less secure. So while Jailbreaking is legal now, it is still to be done at your own risk!

Will it work on Iphone 4s?
my version is to new. what do I do
@awsomeo66 yup
@AppJudgment this is the best video ever
Wont work on ios 5 5.1.1
If it's still available through Cydia, another great app to have is 3G Unrestrictor. It makes your phone think it's running on a wifi connection even when it's not. This helps with downloading app updates that require a wifi connection and helps with video playback quality when no wifi connection is available.
This Jailbreak epsiode was on my bday!
@500345002 no…. you can't change your carrier on iphone thats one of the only illegal parts
Can I do this with Ipod touch

@chickensandw1tch it's been legal sine 2006
Great
wait wuuuut wait …wait ..
wow wooh
wo wo wo wo wo …wo it's legal now, And you download it from the iphone *loses breath* OMG THIS IS EASIER THEN BREATHING!!
please help me, when i use a theme the applications wont change.
will this still delete memory on my iPod touch? 3g 8gb?
Good thing i didnt jailbreak. Just had my phone exchanged due to faulty proximity sensor.
Shoot ! I just updated my iphone to 4.0.1 how can i degrade it ?
does this also work on ipods??? i tried to do it and it just crashes… help
does it work on iOS 4.1? (my new ipod)
@mymaintoon NO!!!!! dont upgrade
After watching this video three things happend. 1. I learned what jailbreaking is. 2. I know that is legal. 3. I got a new reason to hate apple.
android pride.
in my ipod it says "placeholder page"!!!!!!!! help!!!
its not the first time working on safari. it happened last time
fake
YEAHHHHH THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT !!1
It voids your apple warrenty, but my handset is insured with my network provider with my contract… thats safe right?
@robotchickenlolz No, you still have to pay for the apps in the App Store. Cydia just has apps Apple won't approve. Some are paid, some are free.
The old way wasn't that hard. But I guess for the non-techies that own iPhones, this is a great thing. Super easy. It's fast but not as fast as Spirit but it doesn't work for iOS4 yet.
@GrahWhite yes you do 🙂
will this make u get the paid apps for free?
and would if u want ur ipod to go back to normal, can u do it?
Wow, that's a huge bug. If I had an iphone 4 that would make me NOT surf the internet at all until they fixed that…
dam that assol is fat….
Could you guys also do one on the Droid? To root it on 2.2.
@AppJudgment Well I only jailbroke my itouch, but the multitasking, winterboard, and, just the custom settings (like SBS settings) made it worthwhile.
@nonsenseical What made it so worthwhile? Tethering?
@rubbyduck I know — it's almost too easy.
@ynkno13 EXACTLY!
That's the easiest Jailbreaking ever..
@PandaJack555 yes it's completely legal now, but it still voids your warranty
is iliagal to download free apps which can be done with a jailbrocken phone???? anser plzz
@SMG707 lol i have the metal gear sound on my android phone!
@nonsenseical welcome to the jailbreak world.. 😀
if you phone dies while you're jailbroken there's not much point in having a backup.
I did this just the other day. so so so, worth it!
mywi turns tethering =D
try another system sound 😀 i've installed metal gear and android sounds and the are awesooooooome 😀
This is the 2nd time this was attempted.Back in the 1.x days,this was also attempted and successfully done by Comex,who is the creator of Jailbreakme.But back than you had to do virginating,which took a lot of time.
3rrrrrrrrrddddddddddddd
third
2nd lol
