Jailbreaking Discussion - Page 22

Jailbreaking is legal. Don't worry about those details.

I did the iPad 2 5.0.1 jailbreak, which was working for a while, but now I'm having trouble with Cydia-related things.

For instance, I can no longer access SBSettings by swiping my finger across the status bar, and when I try to download things from Cydia and such, it either doesn't work or gives me an estimated amount of time that is unbelievably long. Crap like 174 hours or longer. I can download apps from the App Store just fine and in a reasonable amount of time, though.

What the *bleep* is going on and how do I fix it?

Is there a iPhone 3GS 5.0.1 jailbreak? I've been searching around, and can't find anything.. :/ Help?

You should be able to use redsn0w to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS running 5.0.1.

at the beginning, Though i know jeibreaking is lega, i am still worrying about if there is something wrong with my ipod, how can i do?

laterly, i know if that happened, i can return to the original state.

so, jailbreaking is good for ipod users.

Surprisingly Apple did not submit their comments on Jailbreaking to the U.S. copyright office as pointed out by both Saurik and Musclenerd. This is a very big position change from the last time the exception of Jailbreaking was proposed and Apple harshly opposed it. Signifying that Apple could be taking an indifferent position on Jailbreaking due to the innovation that comes from developers in the Jailbreaking Community.

In my opinion I do not see why the Jailbreaking exception for mobile devices such as smartphones would not be renewed. Furthermore I think an exception for Jailbreaking tablets will also put in to action this year. The only problem area I see is making Jailbreaking consoles legal in the United States due to Sony’s very fierce opposition of it. This was clearly shown when Sony sued GeoHot and is shown again in their close-to 60 page document they submitted explaining why Jailbreaking consoles should not be made legal.

I haven't jailbreak'd since I had my iPod Touch about 2-3 years ago. :3

What are the main benefits? Can you run apps that aren't available on the app market, like emulators and the such?
