This may not have everything you need to know, if this is the case please view the stickied topics in this section for further information.
This is an excellent website to look at if you need extra help:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
- This is not my website.
Jailbreaking, fully explained:
Jailbreaking can be achieved through restoring a custom firmware film, in form of an IPSW, to your iPod or iPhone in order to be able to run unsigned codes on it. In addition, this can come in the form of a USB exploit (The initial hole) which loads the payload (The stuff that allows unsigned code to run) onot your device. Finally, there is a userland exploit which allows you to load a payload directly from the device. (I.e jailbreakme/the PDF exploits). This is very handy in the fact that it allows you to download third party games, themes and other useful utilities.
What is needed to get started:
To get started you will need to know what generation iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad you have. You also will need to know what firmware version you are on. Then, find the right tool below to jailbreak your device!
For people that don't know how to see what version there iDevice is, watch this.

- This is not my video - This is also very old so forget what version his is.
Redsn0w - All iDevices except iPad 2 on 2.2.1 to 4.3.5
Greenpois0n - All iDevices on 4.2.1
Sn0wbreeze - All iDevices except iPad 2 on 3.1.3, 3.2, 3.2.1 and 4.0 to 4.3.3
Limera1n - All iDevices on 4.1
Spirit Jailbreak - iPhone or iPod Touch on firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3 or 3.2
Jailbreakme - iPad 1, iPad 2, Iphone and iPod Touch on firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.2, 3.2.1, 4.0, 4.0.1 or 4.3.3 - Easiest to use.
PwnageTool Torrents - All iDevices except iPad 2 on 2.2.1 to 4.3.3
If you accidently download the wrong Jailbreak then your iPod may freeze whilst in the process of Jailbreaking - If this happens usually just holding down the 'Sleep' button and the 'Home' button will fix it. It will restart your iPod and it will go back to normal.
Tethered and Untethered:
Here is the basic difference between tethered and untethered:
With a tethered jailbreak, you have to 'Re-Jailbreak' your iDevice everytime you do a reboot. You will keep all your Jailbroken/Cracked apps but the iDevice will not boot intil you hook it back up to your computer and rerun Redsn0w/Sn0wbreeze. If you are about to Jailbreak but it is tethered only, i advice you not to do it, wait until their is an untethered jailbreak out.
Untethered is where you can reboot your device perfectly fine and are still able to run unsigned codes without having to use a tool to boot.
Getting Installous:
This is the main reason why anyone would even Jailbreak your Device in the first place so i thought i better add this.
You will need to add Hackulo.us repo, in cydia - Click these things.
Manage > Sources > Edit > Add > cydia.hackulo.us
Click on your now added repo (After pressing done in the top right) and then click on Installous > Install > Confirm and Installous will install along with Appsync.
Reboot Your Device!
Once back on the springboard, press on the Installous icon to open the app.
Now you can start browsing and downloading apps.
Top 5 Cydia Sources to get:
Sinful iPhone repo:
- Http://sinfuliphonerepo.com
This source will let you get 'Cracked Apps' Other than cracked Cydia Apps you can get tons of tweaks and mod apps such as, Android Lock, Fackbreak, Infinidock, MyWi and brilliant emulators including emulators and NES emulator + Much more.
xSellize repo:
- Http://cydia.xsellize.com
If your a fan of emulator games then this is the aource for you. It contains a bunch of ROM packs for Gameboy advance, Nintendo 64 and NES emulator. In each ROM pack you can get around 50 to 60 games which you can play on these emulators. It also got some really good HD themes and bluetooth tweaks for iPhone and iPod users.
iHacksrepo:
- Http://ihackrepo.com
I hacks repo is a really good source for all iPhone 4 and iPod 4G users. It has all the essential tweaks you can find in xsellize and Sinful repo. It has a huge collection of game ROMs, emulators, HD themes and other mods.
iPhoneCake:
- Http://cydia.iphonecake.com/
Just like Hackulo.us is used to install Installous app, iPhoneCake repo is used to install AppCake app. Installous and AppCake work in the same ways, but AppCake allows you to access and download cracked cydia apps as well as Premium app store apps.
P0dulo repo:
- Http://p0dulo.com
This is not very heard of but it very good, you can find tons of themes, ringtones, tweaks and lots of games.
The Top 3 Apps To Get From Cydia Once Jailbroken:
1. Winterboard
- Using Winterboard you can apply whole skins to your device or just parts of it, you can customize App icons, Wallpaper, Dock and even Statusbar, you can keep tweaking with it until you find the skin that suits you best.
2. Categories
- This app is for the people who download a lot of things onto there iDevice and need a place to put everything neatly. Categories gives you the ability to organize your home screen in ways far beyond anything Apple currently provides. Once the app has been taken from your springboard and placed into a selected Category it will always stay in the category and will no longer be on your springboard, to get it back you just simply move it.
3. MultiIconMover
- If your ever sorting out your apps and your moving them around different pages, this app is for you. It lets you pick up and move more than one app.

- These are just a few of their apps, they have lots more!
The currently accepted Apptrackr upload sources:

Please thank the topic if i have helped.
I will be updating extra information very soon.
The poll has been added so i can see what people think. I don't mind if people don't find it useful but if you do decide to say 'No' then leave a comment suggesting what i can do to improve my post. It would help me and possibly help you change your mind about the post. I just dislike it when people say 'No' and don't bother leaving a comment as to why. Thanks.
