Top 3 Jailbreak solutions for your iPhone 4/4S

HEY there good people, I would like to share my experience in what I think are the Top 3 iPhone 4/4S Jailbreak solutions in the market place today.

I can confidently say I’ve found the top 3 jailbreak solutions after much trial and error, not to mention the 16 odd hours lost in productivity and the embarrassing trip back to the Apple store to have my iPhone 4s restored.

All 3 Jailbreak solutions will jailbreak your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S automatically.  They are all kept up to date by the individual vendors, meaning they will ALL work with the new Apple iOS’s and basebands, which get released periodically, the current version being 5.0.1. Keep in mind these solutions will also work for iPads & iPod Touch’s should you wish to jailbreak them.

I’ve personally tested each of the 3 Jailbreak solutions and the process is dead simple:

• Step 1 – Download the software.
• Step 2 – Follow the step-by-step detailed picture guide.
• Step 3 – Jailbreak Complete

Plus – Should you have any questions contact the friendly tech support staff, perfect solution!

Finally a complete solution, eliminating the need to manually hack your iPhone and run the risk of bricking it.

Download one of the 3 solutions and jailbreak your iPhone 4/4S in less than 5-10 minutes.

1)   Jailbreak Unlock – (9/10 rating)

This is my preferred Jailbreak solution, hence why it is number one. The Jailbreak actually takes less than 5 minutes, just enough time to boil the kettle.  I’ve personally used this solution on my iPhone 4S, two friends with iPhone 4’s and a work colleague’s iPhone 3GS. All with successful results!

What sold me on the Jailbreak Unlock solution was the fantastic tech support. I was unsure if the Jailbreak Unlock solution would work with the iPhone 3GS 6.15 baseband, tech support replied within 1.5 hours confirming the solution was compatible.

The Jailbreak Unlock solution does a complete Jailbreak, also know as a Jailbreak & Unlock – As the name suggests.

For your own knowledge here is a bit of background into the subtle but important differences.

Jailbreaking means – you’ll be able to install 3^rd party applications, wall papers, themes, ringtones from Cydia (Cydia is the app store you gain access to once your iPhone has been Jailbroken)

Unlocking means – you’ll have the ability to use your iPhone on any carrier, otherwise known as carrier diversity. Very useful when traveling abroad, you can use local SIM cards from local carriers avoiding international roaming/data charges. A major benefit of Jailbreaking your iPhone.

Having the ability to pay with PayPal is very comforting, as PayPal protects you from fraudulent activity, essentially refunding your money should you ever get ripped off. Good to remember when shopping online on eBay, Amazon, etc, always use PayPal for peace of mind.

Finally Jailbreak Unlock offers a 30-day money back guarantee, no questions asked, simply refunded into your PayPal account. Jailbreak Unlock is run by a team of motivated developers who want to help people get the most out of their iPhones. Support is really responsive, the instructions are extremely easy to follow and the price is very reasonable. You also have the option of opting in for future updates, but thats completely up to you.

These guys are the best in the market place.

2)   Automatic iPhone Unlocker – (7/10 rating)

A jailbreak solution I’ve successfully used prior to Jailbreak Unlock was Automatic iPhone Unlocker. It was probably my favorite prior to Jailbreak Unlock. Automatic iPhone Unlockers jailbreak process is a little more complicated resulting in a longer jailbreak. It took me between 10 – 15 minutes to Jailbreak an iPhone 4.

My two major gripes with this solution is that the support was much less responsive, I feel in this day and age you really need to offer great support with any product. I had to wait 48 hours for a reply to a query. Unsatisfactory by my standards, you may be in less of a rush, completely up to you.

The second issue is that this is only a partial jailbreak, meaning the solution will NOT unlock your iPhone. So no carrier diversity, this may or may not be an issue for you. Still great value at $29.00

3)   iJailbreak Tool – (5/10 rating) 

I’ve only used this Jailbreak once and the process scared me a little.  Personally I won’t be using it again. The documentation has been poorly written and left me at times wondering what the next step was. The process did finally work but took about 30 minutes, way longer than the 2 solutions above. Considering the poor documentation and indian tech support I find this solution to be too expensive.

That brings me to the end of my Jailbreak Solution review. Once again thanks for stopping by and enjoy your newly Jailbroken iPhone 4/4S – priced at $29.95

Jailbreaking the iPhone 4S iOS 5 Untethered

Want to Jailbreak your IPhone 4S but don’t know how? There are plenty of benefits to Jailbreaking your iPhone and without taking on the risk of something happening to your iPhone 4S. One thing we recommend when Jailbreaking  your IPhone is that you sync it/back it up to iTunes should you have any issues or problems jailbreaking your iPhone, you will be able to restore it to its original state. When you jailbreak your iPhone 4S, it also voids your warranty so backing it up will also allow you to revert back to its original state encase you ever need to take your iPhone into an Apple store. Many people don’t take this step seriously but it’s highly recommended as some have encountered problems afterwards.

Okay, so now you have your phone backed up and your ready to start the jail breaking process, the first thing you need to do is to put your IPhone in DFU Mode. NOTE: If you’re looking to Jailbreak an iPhone4 we have another article with detailed instructions. This is done by having your IPhone connected to iTunes and holding down the “Home Key” and the “Sleep” button at the same time for exactly 10 seconds, you then release the “Sleep” button while continuing to hold the “Home Key” button until the dialog box appears saying that “iTunes has detected an IPhone Recovery Mode”.

Once your IPhone is in DFU Mode, download Tiny Umbrella (TheFirmwareUmbrella.com) onto your computer so that you will be able to jail break your IPhone. Tiny Umbrella is one of the most reliable jail breaking software’s that you can use and it’s also 100% free so there are no risks and no cost! TinyUmbrella will detect your IPhone in DFU mode and the TinyUmbrella dialog box will then appear which will allow you to Jailbreak your device which only takes a few minutes.

It is an automated process from here on, TinyUmbrella will take care of the rest of the Jail breaking process and you will be notified by a pop up that it is completed and that your IPhone is ready to be disconnected. Now that your IPhone is jail broken, you will notice a new program on your phone called “Cydia“, go into Cydia and under Manage, click on “Sources”, and then click on “Edit”, once you have done this, go to “Add” and add the source “Installous”.

This is the Jail broken version of the App Store where you will be able to download all of the games and apps you want for free. If you want to download new themes for your phone, you can also add “Winterboard” as a source and you will be able to easily manage your downloaded themes. Have fun with your new IPhone 4S, once Jail broken, there isn’t anything you can’t do with it!

Step 1 – Putting Your Phone in DFU Mode

Connect your IPhone to your computer with the USB cable, open up ITunes, and hold down the Power and Home button down at the same time for exactly 10 seconds, at ten seconds, release the power button while still holding the Home button until a message from ITunes pops up saying “ITunes has detected an IPhone in recovery mode, you must restore the IPhone before it can be used with ITunes.”

Step 2

Now that you are in DFU Mode, you can now download Tiny Umbrella which is the Jail breaking software onto your computer. Once downloaded, it will say that it has detected your IPhone and you will then be able to Jailbreak your IPhone. Besides downloading the software, Step 2 is completely automated as Tiny Umbrella Jailbreaks your device for you.

Do you have an iPhone 4 iOS 5 and are wanting to jailbreak it?  Today I will be telling you the best and safest way to jailbreak your Iphone 4 running iOS 5.0.1 without risking the loss of the functionality of your phone or your warranty.  One thing you must do before jailbreaking you Iphone 4 is to back it up with Itunes. This will allow you to revert/restore your iPhone to it’s original state if you ever have issues with it. Allowing you to return it to Apple without them ever knowing that you’ve Jailbroken your device in the past, thus keeping your warranty valid.

Once your Iphone 4 has been backed up with Itunes, you are now ready to begin jailbreaking your iPhone. Note: If you’re looking to Jailbreak an iPhone 4S we have another article with step by step instructions. Go to thefirmwareumbrella.com (This is the jailbreaking software you will use to jailbreak your iPhone 4) and download their software onto your computer.

Once downloaded, you need to put your Iphone 4 into DFU mode which is the Iphones recovery mode.  It’s required to be in this mode to complete the jailbreaking process.

Step 1 – Putting Your Phone in DFU Mode

To get into DFU mode – Connect your IPhone to your computer with the USB cable. Open up ITunes, hold down the “Power” button and the “Home” button for exactly ten seconds, once you’re at ten seconds, release the “Power” button while still holding in the home button until you see a pop up from iTunes saying that they have detected an Iphone in DFU mode.

Step 2

Now that your Iphone 4 is in DFU mode, Tiny Umbrella will allow you to select the “Jailbreak” button and the software will then jailbreak your Iphone.  Tiny Umbrella automates the jailbreaking process so this part will be very easy.

Step 3

After about 5-6 minutes, the process should be complete and Tiny Umbrella will show a pop up saying, “Jailbreaking Complete“, it is safe to disconnect your device”.

Step 4

Now that it’s done disconnect your Iphone and you will see a new program installed called “Cydia“.  Cydia is the central point for downloading all of the jailbroken software. Much like the App Store by Apple, you now have two options for downloading applications. The App store and Cydia, Cydia provides you with themes, wallpapers, ringtones, unlimited applications, tools and utilities.

Step 5

Open Cydia and click on “Sources“.  Once you’re in “Sources”, go to “Manage” and then “Add“.  Add the source called “Installous” and “Winterboard“.  Installous is the jailbroken version of the Apple App store and Winterboard is the platform where you can easily manage, add, edit or delete your downloaded themes.

Step 6 – Enjoy the benefits of a Jailbroken iPhone 4

Now that you have Installous and Winterboard, you have successfully completed the process and you can now download all the games, apps and themes for free!  Enjoy your Iphone and have fun with all the free games and apps!
