if 3rd party applications is so cool that you are willing to hack your phone, then why this application is not in app store? it will have no problem passing Apple scrutiny since it is amazing? You can make it for free or make money from it.

But it won’t happen, cause those 3rd party developers will not pay the same attention to security and stability. At the end of the day we all need a stable phone.

I have an issue iPhone 3G / Yellowsn0w

I JailBreak my iPhone, and it works well with a Pre-Paid SIM card.
I recently sold it to my friend, and he wants to use a “contract” SIM in the phone.

When everything works well with the iPhone, 3G, Wifi, Recieve calls, Send and reciever SMS.

… But every time he tries to click on the phone buttom (to manualy make a call), the dial pad comes up for 2 seconds, and then it closes on him!

What can be the issue here?

Current stat’s of the iPhone
Software version: 2.2 (5G77)
Modem Firmware: 2.28.00

Has a few app’s installed.

Poof - Cydelet - Cycorder - Qik - iPref -
and some other apps, to numerous to mention.

Sucks to be you, I wonder since now it’s 09 if you have changed your mind. Any smart person has already unlocked and jailbreaked there phone and are having a blast well beyond what Apple visioned/wanted.

ehm. I came to this site asking “what is iphone jailbreak” and I got an answer back saying “I am not going to jailbreak my iphone”
OK, now could you please answer the question? I would love to get a more complete answer to that question.

lol u jkes theres no point of jailbreaking the iphone or itouch, it only gives you a little bit of features, and anyway why play mario when theres brothers in arms on appstore and lots more like need for speed undercover, and if you want them free just go on appulo.us anyway if you want to do things like change the theme and more functions you can even make your own apps with the apple dev center SDK.

All these comments are making me laugh, especially those attempting to insult in broken english. I’m a proud user of a 3G iPhone, non-jailbroken. There’s a reason for this. Exactly as you pointed out, Chris, once you jump the fence, there’s no support. If something happens to your iPhone that potentially bricks it to the point of no return, your warranty is null and void. If you install software that tries to extend the battery life by reducing processing power or something to that effect and it disables the Power Management Unit (PMU), it doesn’t matter if “unjailbreaking” only takes ten minutes; you’re going to be spending a lot longer talking to Apple support and trying to convince them to give you a new $600 toy to play with. I successfully did this to my iPod Touch, and didn’t only damage the battery-to-system monitoring system, but actually melted the battery and discolored the steel back of the iPod, proving that tampering was evident, and voiding any and all warranties.

Sure, you can all feel smug in the fact that your iPhone can play Mario, but it’s nothing more than a novelty item, and to be completely honest, I don’t need that. I’m using my iPhone to manage the mail for my business, to place calls, and to manage large amounts of voicemail with the Visual Voicemail capabilities. If I need information on the fly, I fire up Safari and look it up. Hell, if I want to play a game, I’ve got a zombie tower defense game that keeps me entertained for just long enough. Alas, I can’t play Mario. Obviously, I’ve failed to realize the potential this device has.

Jailbreaking your iPhone is the electronic-device equivalent to adding a turbo or a supercharger to a car. Yes, it’s flashy. Yes, it will boost your performance in some ways. Is it necessary to drive the vehicle? No. Does it run the risk of damaging your engine and possibly ruining your entire drivetrain and putting you out one previously-functioning vehicle? Absolutely.

In the end, it’s your call, but a line has to be drawn between security and recklessness just for the sake of showing off. Chances are, if you can think of a function you need the iPhone to do, you can find an app for it that is fully supported and sanctioned, often free, and in the event that it isn’t and that causes you emotional peril (see: rage), perhaps you need to rethink what you consider valuable before purchasing your next toy. Too often are we quick to opt for the five-finger discount simply because it seems like it’ll be easier.

No offense, you got some good points, but they were repeating the same two ideas. Not sanctioned by Apple and it works. That was it. You kept repeating the same things over and over again, but just reworded them.

Prepare what you want to say before you go LIVE, you fumble a lot in your words.

i think u make great points and it is so easy to mess up the iphones, but if people want to take the risks then let them. I know i never will, im a poor college student that doesnt want to blow 300 bucks on a new iphone when i have a perfectly good working one.

If i jaibreak it, can i restore it, and it will go back to a nonjailbroken iPhone? Thanks.
