Verizon Iphone 4 iOS 4.2.2 Jailbreak Using Sn0wbreeze
Do you have an Iphone 4 running iOS 4.2.2 on the Verizon network and are wanting to jailbreak it? My name is Michael and have been jailbreaking Iphones and taking them to their full limits and potential for over 3 years and have to say that you’ll never enjoy the full capabilities of the Iphone if you don’t jailbreak it.
With customized themes, and free games and apps, there’s no reason to not jailbreak it, considering that jailbreaking your Iphone costs nothing but you time, about 5 minutes at that as the jailbreaking software is free! Yes, you read that right, the jailbreaking software is available at no cost, so what are you waiting for? Continue reading on and we’ll help you through the process and explain some tips and perks to jailbreaking your device.
For this tutorial, we will be using Sn0wbreeze as the jailbreaking software, the download link for this software can be found at http://www.iH8Sn0w.com (0 is a zero, not an o). Once you go to this site, select the appropriate download link and install it onto the computer. Once downloaded and installed, you will need to connect your Iphone to the computer via the USB cable as if you were syncing it with iTunes. One thing I always recommend to jailbreakers is that you back up your Iphone with iTunes so that you can restore you Iphone to its original state which is great because if you have issues with your Iphone after the jailbreaking process has completed, you can restore it meaning that it will be like new right out of the box.
So once your Iphone is connected to your computer via the USB cable, you will need to open up the Sn0wBreeze software and it will ask you to put your Iphone into DFU mode. This is done by holding down the “Power” button and the “Home” button at the same time for exactly ten seconds, once you’re at ten seconds, release the “Power” button while still holding in the “Home” button until you get a notification from Sn0wBreeze saying that it has detected your device in “Recover Mode” (DFU Mode). You will then be prompted with some information on the jailbreaking process and will be able to click “Start”. Once you start the process, the rest of the process is automated and Sn0wBreeze will take care of the rest. Give Sn0wBreeze about 5 minutes to complete the process and when it’s done, you will be notified that it’s safe to disconnect your Iphone.
Once the jailbreaking process is completed, disconnect your Iphone 4 and scroll through the pages on your Iphone until you see the new application installed called “Cydia”. Go into Cydia and go to “Sources”, and then “Manage” and then “Add” and add “Installous” as a source and install it. Once it has finished downloading and installing, go back to your pages and look for that application and open it. You will now be able to download all games and apps for free that are available in the Apple App store as Installous has every App available that’s in the Apple App store. Downloading App from Installous only takes a matter of a couple minutes even if not on wifi and you can even download all of the updates for Apps as well when they come out. You have now successfully jailbroken your Iphone and no longer have to worry about paying for your Apps or Games. We also recommend adding “Winterboard” as one of the sources in Cydia, this will allow you to place all of your downloaded customized themes here from Cydia so your downloads will stay organized in one place.
