1. What is jailbreak? What's the function?
Ummm.... Well, honestly until now I can't explain with words too the meaning of
jailbreak. But what I can get from my experience using my
jailbroken iDevice (
iPhone/
iPad/
iPod) is we can more explore our
iDevice, get cool tweak apps, install
Crack Apps (using
Installous,
App Cake, or
vShare) make us easier to operate
iDevice, download music directly (using
Bridge), changing theme, and many more. Yeah, maybe from its name,
'jailbreak' which has mean we break the rules that
Apple has create. Soo,
jailbreak is the process to get freedom in our
iDevice
2. Type of jailbroken iDevice
1.
Tethered Jailbreak: In simple way, we can say
Tethered Jailbreak as "Unstable
Jailbreak" why?
cause with this type of
jailbreak. Every we reboot our
iDevice we need to connect our
iDevice to
iTunes on computer and repeat our
jailbreaking process using the last tool that we used to
jailbreak
our
iDevice. If we do not connect it to iTunes, our
iDevice will stuck on
Apple logo when we're
rebooting our
iDevice.
2.
Untethered Jailbreak: Its the opposite of
Tethered Jailbreak. Untethered Jailbreak is 'Stable
Jailbreak'
cause using this type, we shouldn't connect our
iDevice every time we reboot it, and we
aren't wasting time to doing
jailbreaking process again and again. Until now (iOS 6.1.2) we can doing
Untethered Jailbreak through
evasi0n
3. The weakness from jailbreaking
The weakness? Well, the first thing is we lost our
iDevice guarantee, cause as you know that jailbreak isn't legal from
Apple itself, so we will lost our
iDevice guarantee. Second is....... we will lost
iDevice stabilization, and when you install a application that causing crash with the other application, then you should disable that program first to make you can user your
iDevice normally. And the last, when you got error in
jailbreaking process your
iDevice will totally die.
4. What you need to do before jailbreaking
To avoid error on your
iDevice when
jailbreaking. It's better that you backup your
iDevice first or you can download the 'fresh'
iOS from
Here
5. Conclusion
So, what's the conclusion, is it better to
jailbreak or not? You want to
jailbreak or not it's depend on you. With
jailbreaking your
iDevice you can more free to customize it as what you like, but the consequence is when after you installed apps that crash with the other, you should tracking it one by one by disable it until your
iDevice running well again.
