Todd Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Do NOT update it through itunes. Read this and follow it to the letter, it will jailbreak and update your phone, just did it the other night myself http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4302 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottC Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Sorry if this sound silly folks, but what's the benifits of jailbreaking these? So you can use it on any network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 So you can use it on any network. Is that all then? Is jailbreaking just another term for unlocking? I did read up on it a while back, but never really understood it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 It's a little more than that, http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/what-is-jailbreaking/ and have a read of this too http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/why-jailbreak-your-iphone-or-ipod-touch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Is that all then? Is jailbreaking just another term for unlocking? I did read up on it a while back, but never really understood it. I believe it unlocks third party apps as well. No doubt someone will be along soon to put me right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
