There is already posts all over the internets about how it leaves a backdoor into your iphone to run malicious code. DONT DO IT.

Sure beats being in shackles with the Apple logo etched on them personally by Steve Jobs. Ironic that the Apple fanboys call their rival Hitlersoft.

I remember when they first released this. This way is much easier and will allow anyone to jailbreak no matter what they do or do not know.

That still makes me uneasy buying an iPad. The ASUS Eee 1201PN beats he iPad in every spec, and is still cheaper than the cheapest iPad. Sure its a netbook, but Asus's tablet PCs aren't where I want them yet.

My Iphone was stolen, but I have a 4-digit lock on it. With Jailbreaking, can they remove it?

All they have to do is restore it and that 4 digit lock is reset. And it is recommended to restore before you jailbreak so...sorry about that. Unless you had that MobileMe program (which had that useful iPhone tracker thingy called "Find My iPhone" where it would literally find your stolen iPhone for you...I don't know how it does this) there is not much you can do now...

:D first off you would have to put the code in to do this. SEcond the lock can be taken off by simply restoring the ipod.

Just remember folks!!! You need to change the root and mobile passwords on your device after you jailbreak, otherwise you are open to attack from something as simple as a text message!

You have to install OpenSSH from Cydia.

Then use a terminal app like Putty to connect/SSH into your phone. From there it's all linux comands.

Or, you can forget all that and install Rock from Cydia. Which is just an alternative to Cydia only it SUCKS BALLS. However it will do it for you. It asks you when you first run it. It asks for the new password you want to use and changes them both for you.

Rock is my prefared Apt Pkg installer cos it just works without having to wait for a refresh or anything, if you have alot of sources, like I do, the last thing you want to do is Wait... rock does it all very very quickly.
