Depends which OS your on, if your on 4+ don't bother will wreck the phone (Check in the settings to see which it is) and yes it can always be factory reset to normal.

It would be worth it if you will jailbreak your iPhone. But of course it depends on the OS that you are using and the settings that you are organizing. There are good benefits that you can such as the application assess and risk if you made improper jailbreak.

100% jailbreak it. It doesn't matter what OS you have. Once you have Cydia on your phone you will understand why so many people do it.

I have and IP4 and iPad and have always used the jailbreak. Loads of free stuff including apps and you can customise your phone how you want.

Sorry but thats rubbish. I have been on 4.1 for ages using a jailbreak and never had any issues. There is even a beta jailbreak for the new 4.2.1 firmware but this is only available on the mac OS at the moment.

As its a software hack you will never wreck your phone. All you do if you have any problems is connect to iTunes and do a restore.

After doing mine I can't see why anyone wouldn't want theirs jailbroken. You've got to do it.

You need to check what firmware you have first. Go to settings>General>About

Half way down it will say "Version" can you post what yours says?

No it doesn't as such. As said you just connect to iTunes and restore as its only a software hack. Ensure you restore before any warranty claim and Apple won't be able to tell that you have jailbroken it.

Jailbreaking an iphone is a very simple process. that simply involves you entering your phone into DFU mode (factory restore mode) and following a simple process.

What does Jailbreaking do - Absolutely NOTHING apart from add and App to your desktop called Cydia.

Cydia is the Gateway to personalising your iphone.

The main benefit of installing cydia is to install the FREE app store called Installous 4 (the latest addition of the Hacked app store)

Jailbreaks are completely reversible by Restoring in iTunes!
But ALWAYS be careful when connecting to itunes, as it will always prompt you to upgrade your current software to the latest! (which is NOT always a good thing to do - especially when you are jailbroken or are considering a Jailbreak!)

Before you Jail Break - ALWAYS save your current .shsh blobs to the cydia server first using Tiny Umbrella! so that if you ever need to Down grade your software in the future you can.

Restoring and Updating will also update the Base Band in your phone (the modem firmware in Settings>General>About) which can prevent you from unlocking your iphone to Any network)

iphones on older Basebands can be unlocked VERY easily using a Jailbroken iphone with Cydia - and software from Ultrasn0w.

I will look at anyones phone to help them along!

PM me. :)

p.s. I run a 32GB iPhone 4 which is JBroken. and have previously JB and Unlocked ALL other models. :ayatollah:

At the moment you can only Jailbreak iphone 4 on 4.2.1 with MAC (windows will follow soon!)

you need to visit this 1st!

http://www.redmondpie.com/redsn0w-0.9.7 ... th-issues/

MY advice to anyone with iDevices of any kind is to - NOT update to 4.2.1 when itunes prompts you too!

not until the full final jailbreak is available to windows. When you update via itunes - it will automatically update your Baseband as well! (preventing you from unlocking your iphone to other networks!)

PM me for more detailed info! ;)

For anyone interested, there is a rather nice Cardiff city theme available on cydia now for use with winterboard.
It's currently using the old badge but I've spoken to the themes maker an he is sorting it into the new badge soon.
It's real good to be fair;)
