What are the drawbacks of jailbrekaing

**ddonuts4** · 03-09-2009, 06:16 PM

I have read all about all the cool stuff you can do with jailbreaking on many different sites but I haven't seen many drawbacks. I've heard rumors about it hurting battery life... does it really?, and dont care about the warranty part. If there are any drawbacks, what are they?

Jailbreaking in itself does not hurt your battery. Some of the apps you can install use up more battery life because they run additional processes all the time. Read the article below for a much more in depth explanation.

Drawbacks......

You will become so enthused with the iphone that you will most likely never put it down....may loose friends, your job...girlfriend, fiance or wife. But it will be ok, cause you'll have a really cool phone

Thanks for the link, Poseidon.
I check many times a day to see if I can jailbreak my iPod tough 2g yet. Lol
I know about tethered\semi-tethered redsn0w but I reboot a lot

**WTFish** · 03-10-2009, 04:28 PM

The only drawback(s) is that the battery life will be shorter, if you have a 2g then its tethered to a computer..

**JStraitiff** · 03-10-2009, 05:05 PM

the 2g is going to be fully jailbroken soon hopefully

there are no drawbacks what so ever

nothing wrong with losing a wife over the iphone

now she wont be nagging you to put it down

I am in high school and don't have a wife, but I wouldn't want to lose a wife over an iPhone LOL
Also, tehered is only tethered when booting not the whole time.
HOW SOON do you think the jailbreak will be out(untethered)?

**cpjr** · 03-10-2009, 08:16 PM

^We still have no idea when it will be released.

And if you had my ex-wife, you would love to lose her for an iphone

**JStraitiff** · 03-10-2009, 08:19 PM

actually i am hoping to have it by the end of this week

a company has released a full jailbreak and i am getting a copy in hope that i will be able to use their bootloader exploit to make a pwnage bundle

idk tho... just theory

**ddonuts4** · 03-10-2009, 10:17 PM

that's probably why she's your ex, cpjr
Um....him121213 explain this "jailbreak" is it official and...no offense...but why should I believe you?

**JStraitiff** · 03-10-2009, 11:29 PM

nvm

muscle nerd just released his version

so i guess im a bit late

it really doesn't matter if you believe me or not... i was just trying to do somthing nice for the community

if you didnt want it thats fine...

**ddonuts4** · 03-11-2009, 04:09 PM

LOL sorry. Waiting for quickpwn to come out I don't want to mess up and brick my itouch.

**bteamer** · 03-15-2009, 02:26 PM

Untethered is out, but complex using terminal, so hold off if you want good GUI. :/

I used a program called quickfreedom. It's just as easy to use as quickpwn and came out 1 day after the jailbreak was released. Now I have a fully jailbroken iPod touch 2g

**bteamer** · 03-15-2009, 10:06 PM

Ok, then I need to update my sources.

^_^

**ddonuts4** · 03-15-2009, 10:15 PM

Thanks for the help though-if I didn't know about quickfreedom.. I might have messed something up trying to jailbreak the complicated way

**AppleIT** · 03-18-2009, 10:07 AM

Terminal is garbage and not worth it as Quickfreedom is a 15 minutes process and does it all for you. Very simple. Love to see the Pwned! boot logo hehe friends at work laugh cause it's nothing they have ever seen before. Also love the fact that It can power cycle! WOW what a hack ;-)

Always stressed when it was tethered that if the battery died I wouldn't have a computer near by.. lol hated that process..

As for the wife losing, I would toss this thing in a heart beat for my wife. :-)

**ddonuts4** · 03-19-2009, 06:24 AM

It took me about an hour to restore my
iPod touch from backup though and about 20 min to sync everything back to it. Will I just need to firmware upgrade in the future? The dev team says it is "jailbroken permanently"

He means using it to jailbreak the iPod... Much worse. Terminal on iPod IS awesome
