15 Reasons to Jailbreak your Iphone 4
SPONSORED LINKS
Many first time iphone users ask me as question , Why do you Jailbreak Iphone ? Today I will give 15 reasons to anyone having the same question in their mind .
Well there is not one reason to jailbreak , the benefits are many . The reason you jailbreak is customization . Apple wont allow many high-profile apps like MY3G [Allows FaceTime over 3G] and MyWi [WiFi HotSpot Tethering App] in the app store. But that’s not all , there are many small things you wish the iphone had , like adding more than 12 apps in an iOS folder or changing the theme , having a better lock screen , stacking more icons in the dock .
Wait - Watch this Video First
Below are Selected few Jailbreak Apps :
1. Folder Enhancer App :
Allowing quick browsing of folders and more icons - More Folders can be stuffed inside existing folders [ allowing a total 320 icons ].
2. LockScreen Info :
LockScreen Jailbreak app adds useful information like weather updates , email , twitter and Facebook updates on the lockscreen of the iphone 4 which remains unutilized otherwise. One can add the interface of HTC Style theme with added plugins on this jailbreak app.
Five icon dock jailbreak tweak allows you to add one more icon in the dock which by default allows only four icons at a time. So with this jailbreak app you can add more .
This is a complementary app for the Five Icon Dock jailbreak app mentioned above. You can add one more column to the homescreen of your phone in place fo default four , hence allowing more icons in a screen.
Live the above two jailbreak apps , Five Icon Switcher jailbreak app allows you to add five icons in the task switcher . These apps can easy clutter in multi-tasking enabled iphone 4 . To close these apps at one use RemoveBG SBSettings tweak [mentioned below] which allows you to close all the apps in the task switcher at once in a single tap.
6. SBSettings
SBSettings jailbreak app is basically a hud interface that gives access to various statistics of your device [system resources and running applications] . There is no icon to launch this app. All you have to do is to swipe your finger down from the Status Bar to bring the app .
7. My3G
My3G allows you to make Facetime calls in 3G Network , as simple as that . No requirement of WiFi for making Facetime calls to other iphone 4 or ipod touch 4.
8. MyWi
MyWi Jailbreak app allows wi-fi tethering your iphone . This allows other wi-fi devices to see your iphone 4 as a wi-fi router that serves as a modem to access internet on other wi-fi enabled devices like the ipod touch 4 and laptop .
9. Stay Opened
Its annoying every time you decide to install an app from the app store and the app store page will close to bring you back to the home screen where the new app will begin the download process . Stay Opened keeps the appstore page opened while you keep downloading in the background . A free tweak for jailbroken phones .
10. WiFi Sync
WiFi Sync allows on the air syncing of your device with iTunes on your computer. Now you can sync data without having to plugin in your usb cable .
11. SB Rotator
Rotate your iphone 4 ipod touch 4 homescreen to landscape mode . Only available on jailbroken phones .
12. BiteSMS
Quick and easy access to text messaging from any screen without having to close the app that you are on currently .
Allows you to customize the overall look for the iOS interface . Add themes and change icons and background wallpaper in the homescreen.
14. Frash
Allows you to view flash content on Safari mobile browser . Access flash-based sites and other web content that require you to have a flash enabled device .
15. iGotya
Secretly take the pictures of the person who was spying on your device in your absence to steal your data .Required jailbreaking your iphone 4.

I have the iPhone 4 with 4.1 iOS and untethered jailbreak, bite SMS works for me, but in landscape mode, the popup is the default colors instead of my themed ui colors…any idea why?
I have a question about all this Jailbreak/Unlock issues.
Im a new iPhone user.
I have no need of unlock my carrier-lock while i am very satisfied with them.
But i want to be able to use Apps that are not from iTunes.
In this case, can i Jailbreak it without the unlock, and still be able to use it as a phone as well.
I have following device:
iPhone 4
OS version 4.2.1 (8c148)
Baseband 03.10.01
There´s a lot of different answers that say it work and dont work
yes , you can still go without the unlock. Unlock is primarily for those who dont want to stay with the 2 year contract with AT&T
hehehe once you’re lock in you’re in for 2 year so doesn’t matter unless you want to pay for the ETF not worth it.
Hey all. I got an iphone4 with 4.0 os never updated. Should I update the os? To what os and safely jailbreak still to get all benefits?? Thanks in advance!!
Just do 4.3.3.
Is there a Jailbreak for iPhone 4, OS version 4.2.1 (8C148), Modem Firmware 03.10.01? and where can I download it?!!
jailbreak yes but unlock will come after 4.3 released so another week or so from now. so be patient
If the Verizon’s iphone 4 on 3g servie is jail broken will you be able to Talk and Surf the web like ATT’s version of the iphone 4 while in 3g?
is it illegal to jaibreak your iPhone?
because i’m getting one soon on plan and i wanted to jaibreak it but im scared that i’ll get charged for it :S
In america jaibreak is legal, does that apply to australia as well?
Jailbreak is legal now
The only think what your getting confused with is downloading pirated apps with jailbroken phones thats illegal , apart from that your good to go
Excellent article man, the five icon-trinity is priceless, and the frash utility alone is worth the JB risk.
Thanks for all the hard work!
Why has Apple not adopted some of these ideas??
Well… that’s the only thing wrong with apple…
iOS 5 lol

There are web pages that charge you arround 29-35 usd in order to get the jailbrake of different iphone models including Iphone 4.
What would be the main diference between those from tu UK and making the jailbrake through out Itunes and the ones that are for free and using greenpoisOn?
Is there any good reference from them?
Regards
Yes sir! These people who charge $35 esp. have several good publications on jailbreaking in the top computational journals. That’s about the references that you can get for now.

Please help me I got my iPhone 4 4.1 upgraded to 4.2.1 (8C148)
With firmware version 03.10.01
I want to unlock and jailbreak it please
Guide me
Thanks in advance
You can jailbreak (using, e.g., GreenPoiz0n), but unlock is not yet available for your firmware. And ABSOLUTELY make sure you DO NOT UPDATE to 4.3!
why cant you update to 4.3.i just got my iphone and it came with that version. and modernfirmware is 04.10.01.im curios to know why.so what should i do if i wanna jailbreak it.should i wait or what???
This is indeed an awesome post, kee up the great job!
4.2.1 jailbreak with 04.10.01 baseband anyone tried this ?
You do NOT have to worry about baseband for jailbreaking.
Does anyone know of a tweak that would allow me to ignore certain apps when using the RemoveBG feature to kill all backgrounding apps.
I use Line2 VoIP which I would love to always have open, but I like to often kill all other backgrounding apps in a flash.
I know I can open up Line2 then kill the others, but I would rather just kill the others and have it ignore Line2
Hi Guys,
I have got a latest Factory unlocked Iphone 4 today.
and I wanted to Jailbreak it.
So Is it possible to do only jailbreak without unlock.
or else do I need to unlock it again after the jailbreak…?
Thanks!
Naresh
Depends on the iOS version. 5.0 does not have untethered jailbreak yet and includes a new baseband version.
Thanks your the reasons!
Question to all:
I have already the Jailbreak but I need to unlock my version
4.1 BB 02.10.04.
They state that they can unlock any iPhone even if is updated to latest version (4.3) by downloading a software that operates through iTunes.
Have anyone tried this soft?? does it work??
I’d really appreciate some feedback!
Thanks!
Next year I plan to buy the iphone 6. Will there be a jailbreak and an unlock by June 2012? Will there be a rotorblade attached to the iphone so i can prepare some banana milk shake. Thanks a lot.
You will always have jailbreak, but unlock hm…….don’t count on that. For Iphone6 you will have wings and rotorblade attached so you can remotely fly your phone up high to get better signal. SJ will still say you’re holding your phone the wrong way so the extra added wings will solve everyone problems.
Also include the vimeo app which is now available in iPhone 4.
Recently jailbroke factory 4.3.1 iPhone and updated to 4.3.2 with snowbreeze. Worked well however my themes don’t work on my lockscreen. I can only change it through settings with pix from camera
I have a company policy on my iphone due to exchange. Can I still jailbreak my phone?
Will MyWi tethering app work without a tethering plan and can AT&T tell when you tether a phone without a tethering plan?
Thanks,
B
ATT can tell wether or not you are tethered by the amount Of information you are dl’n unless you have unlimited I wouldn’t chance it. If you do get caught they will just begin to charge you the monthly or by MB.
Hi,
i’ m new to apple products i wanna know that my ipod touch is already running on ios 4.3.3 do i need to jailbreak this if yes then do i need to download the ios 4.3.3 to my pc?it can be a silly question but please reply.also can anyone tell me the best and the simple jailbreak option.
Thankyou in advance…:)
What is the LockScreen Info plugin used in the picture… its awesome!
Yeah! The that lockscreen plugin is pretty awesome! Any idea what that is?
Meh…on Android rooting gives you more options.Easy pirated apps,no need to root.Flashing new or custom firmware doesnt require rooting etc. …if iOS5 had that potential,im gonna love iPhone4.
aww ,iphone doesnt have a landscape mode when u rotate the phone? oh come on :/
Can you change the SMS tone if you jailbreak it?
You don’t need to be jailbroken to change the SMS tone
iphon4
Thanks for sharing this post! I’m actually in a dilemma whether to jailbreak my phone or what. Good thing I was able to read this post!
I’m completely new to the whole jailbreak thing. I’d like to jailbreak my iPhone 4 but don’t know where I would start! And some of these apps ur talking about I don’t have a clue what they are! Can anyone help me please!?
Regards Kaci x
I was actually reading through all the posts hoping the lockscreen info was in here or that another poster had asked what it was & received the answer cuz I REALLY LOVE that lock screen! Problem is, trying to find it w/o having a name to search with would take F-O-R-E-V-E-R esp since searches don’t have any thumbnail pics.
Here’s to hoping our wish is granted & someone posts the name of that AWESOME lock screen!

i need the jailbreal software
Can some one help me as I am after the knowledge/software can anyone help me please?
Hi, I recently purchased an iPhone 4 from Dubai a store called Axiom Telecome and I frankly have no idea how to Jailbreak..But before I come to that..I first need to know if my phone is unlocked.
How do I know if my phone is unlocked or not?
And also, all the iPhone 4 in Dubai have no face-time, after I jailbreak it can I get face-time?
Thanks.
Ok, So I found out that the phone is unlocked, or so the Store’s website says.
So I guess it would be ok for me to Jailbreak it right?
So, can you please tell me what to do exactly..like the steps perhaps..Im so confused.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Thanks,
Sascha
If I jail break my phone, can I still use / update apps I have from the Itunes store? and can I select different ringtones for different callers like we once could. I appreciate your help!!
Jailbroken phones can still work like normal ones. They just have added functionality.
If I use jail break will I ever be able to got my iPhone back to it’s original settings?
Just restore to undo the jailbreak. And jailbreak does not change your settings…
You explained the reasons very well.
