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.
