Have an Iphone 4s and want to Jailbreak it? There are many benefits to Jail breaking your device and this article will explain to you how you can safely Jailbreak your Iphone 4S. One of the first things you need to do before Jail breaking your device is to make sure you Sync your phone with iTunes and backup your device, this will ensure that you can restore your IPhone to its original state just in case you have issues or problems when in the Jail breaking process.
This is very crucial as some have had problems after Jail breaking their phone but the process usually goes with ease and you shouldn’t have any issues if you follow the directions properly but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Once you sync and backup your Iphone 4S with iTunes, you then need to put it in DFU Mode. 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 you’re at this point, the rest is pretty simple. You must download TinyUmbrella (TheFirmwareUmbrella.com) which is the Jail breaking software you will use to Jailbreak your device onto your computer. 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.
Once done and you have your phone disconnected, 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.

Step 3
Now that your device is Jail broken, you will notice a new program on your Iphone called “Cydia”. Open up Cydia, go to “Sources’ and then “Add” and add the source called “Installous”. Installous is the Jail broken version of the App store and this is where you will be able to download all of the apps and games for free. Enjoy your Jail broken Iphone
