Jailbreaking
The process of allowing read write access to the filesystem of iPhone, allowing for installation of third party native apps like Installer, Cydia and SummerBoard/winterboard. Tools used for jailbreaking include(d) XPwn, WinPwn, iLibertyX or iLiberty+, iPlus, iDemocracy 3.

Cydia
Is an application like the appstore, but with all the unapproved apps that Apple wont put on the appstore.

winterdoard for 2.x and summerdoard for 1.1.x
Is an application used for changing themes and the over all look of you iPhone/iTouch

Springboard
is your iPhones/iTouchs gui, its whats changed with winterboard

you need to jailbreak and get cydia on your iPhone. Everything is done with cydia. And I wouldn't use installer

hey

but how do i jailbreak?
and how do i get cydia?

and y not installer?

Do you need to unlock it?
2G or 3G iPhone?
Installer is controlled by RipDev. Trust me it will only give you problems

iphone is unlocked , but hacked, so i cant upgrade it from itunes

and its 2g

and thanks about the heads up

you can upgrade it. search quickpwn for windows. I would goto2.1.1 unlocked and jailbroken... no worries you got a 2G

The best thing for you to do is Youtube it .... you'll find the video you can follow and on the right hand of the video it will you have the sites for you to download everything needed for you to jailbreak / unlock your iphone. cydia and installer will be on your phone
