Devices from the notorious Apple company are good for everyone: they are relatively reliable, look very stylish and allow you to take full advantage of all the advantages of the modern information society. Unfortunately, the policy of the company management does not always suit end users.
First of all, this concerns the actual detachment of the latter from controlling their own device. For example, simply connecting an iPhone to a computer and transferring music there will not work for you: you need iTunes.
Unsurprisingly, one of the most popular topics is a discussion of how to make a Jailbreak!
What it is?
What is hiding under such an ingenious term? If you literally translate it from English, then literally it means "jailbreak." The procedure itself consists in installing the “pirated” Cydia application, which gives the user all the necessary rights and opportunities to control his own device.
Why do it?
Before you make a Jailbreak, you still need to understand that not everyone needs it. We already mentioned the impossibility of “draining” files directly to the phone, but do you need this opportunity?
If you actively use iTunes, install applications only from the AppStore and do not need to run hand-written utilities, then you do not need Jailbreak. So, jailbreak for iPhone 4 for the sake of simplifying the process of uploading photos and music is stupid, because in case of any complications with the firmware you can get a "brick".
How is the unlock operation performed?
We recommend using the special Abstinthe program for this. Remember that you do all of the above only on your own responsibility, so that the safety of your device is now only in your own hands!
Before making a Jailbreak, we strongly recommend that you backup your device using the same iTunes. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, you can easily restore the iPhone.
Then everything is done in an elementary way. Using a USB cable, connect the device to the computer (and exit iTunes!), Launch the Abstinthe application and wait until it finds a smartphone connected to the computer. Only after that you can click on the Jailbreak button!
After that, the "Master" will be launched. Following his prompts, go through the menu items. Please note that at some point you will be required to give permission to run the evasi0n 7 utility. Be sure to confirm the installation! The process will be successfully completed when the icon of the Cydia program mentioned above appears on the desktop.
Some nuances
Note that jailbreak iOS 6 (iPad - especially), where it is better to perform the program Sn0wBreeze. Especially successful is its use for devices based on the A-chip.
Once again about the main thing
Once again, we need to recall that the entire process described above is carried out only at your own peril and risk. If you bought a phone for “pocket” money, if a possible need for repair does not break a hole in your budget, then you can safely skip these notations.
But in the case when you value the device and do not have a special idea about the operations performed in the process ... Before you make a Jailbreak, we strongly recommend that you think again!
