At JailbreakCon 2014 I sat down and chatted with Steven De Franco, better known in the community as iH8sn0w about what jailbreaking is all about and whether or not you should jailbreak or root your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Android phone / tablet.

Jailbreaking is a must for iPhone users such as myself. You can do a lot more than regular crappy ios. Thats one aspect android users dont seem to understand when it comes to iphones.
We don't have to do anything to do what jailbreak allows you to do. Android can already do that stuff. We understand it, because we can already do it
***** iFunxbox perhaps...?
So what do you guys think, is jailbreaking/rooting worth it for you?
Rooting yes
Rooting is
It depends on the user, voiding a warranty for a lock screen is just stupid if you ask me
Yes
yes both
"I'm hacking my phone"
Is that not an easier explanation?
No
No
Jailbreaking isn't illegal
"Hacking" your own devices isn't illegal.
"Hacking" devices you don't own without permission of the owner, is illegal.
Stray Pay
This is not hacking lmao what part of that do you not understand?
Jailbroken my iPod touch 5. Rooted my Android tablet. Jailbroke my brothers iPod touch 3rd gen. Gonna jailbreak my iPad mini once the warranty expires. I first jailbroken my first iPod touch 3rd gen when I was 10, and I love it!
Stan's Tech Videos how? ive tried almost evry app? what worked for you?
+JuJu_Brady You don't use an app to jailbreak, if you don't know that yet you're probably not ready to jailbreak. You have the entirety of the Internet to learn this stuff, and it's not hard at all, so go... Be free... Learn.... Willy.....
ha, such a good guy ;)
(:V)
+Stan's Tech Videos Why wait until the warranty expires?
Well, I DID jailbreak my iPad Air, which I thought was just, awesome! I downloaded a bunch of tweaks and made it way cool, But, my parents weren't too happy. So they made me unjailbreak it and now I'm grounded from my awesome new Christmas present. Thanks for letting me have fun, mom and dad.
ouch
i feel bad for you and your parents.
Why would you even tell them???
Srsly they even know what jailbraking is? Wow my dad is always side of rooting
No I am 13.....
I jailbroke my iPhone 6 Plus.... And honestly, I haven't changed it from stock. Jailbreaking has lost a lot of what made it special back in the day. You no longer need to Jailbreak just to get wallpapers on an iPod touch, like you did back in 2009.
Many of you might not agree with this but many people jailbreak their iPhones/pads/pods not just for customizing the appearance but so that they can install cracked apps or enable stuff that android users take for granted like being able to browse your phones/tabs internal storage from your phone/tab or downloading stuff directly to your phone/tab.
This video achieves nothing
🖕
+BlankFire i dont understand he donsnt say yes or no
🖕🏼
🖕
+BlankFire Your comment achieves nothing by not stating what this video was supposed to achieve.
When you iPhone, you should Jailbreak.
When you Jailbreak, you should Android.
When you Android, you should root.
When you root, you should Xposed.
When you Xposed, you should custom-rom.
When you custom-rom, don't forget Xposed.
Bliss.
My iPhone 5s is jailbroken and I love it. Much more customization makes it a better phone.
CEOMrApple No 5s
Cory Houston better os, not phone
I'll jailbreak but I don't fuck with roots
root is just, no..
what you mean
I root
I don't jailbreak :)
+乃lαϟεれΘῖsε ᑭᖇO I want to know too. I'm assuming rooting will break your phone/tablet? Thankfully I don't need to root my stuff.
"Should you Jailbreak."
2017 Apple: "Screw you."
Jailbreaking an iDevice makes it like an normal android, rooting on android is more advanced, you can overclock ur android, edit system files, change ROMs and etc, while jailbreaking only provides: Screen recording (Display recorder), theming (can be done on a normal android), access to some files and all of them are only from the cydia thing.
A jailbroken iPhone is the next best thing to Android...
well you could of told us the down side
what downside? if you fuck up (which is near impossible) you can just restore from iTunes
completely voiding your warranty when you do it is one downside.
but you just restore and then if your warranty was valid before the jailbreak it will be valid again
Beck U will get ur warranty back as soon as u unjailbreak
Beck This is a year old comment and I don’t care. Your warranty is no longer voided when you jailbreak and Apple takes no action.
You dont need to jailbreak. just get android
I couldn't have said it better myself.
If it's stock android yes but if it's samsung joke android then no it's needs to be rooted
Truer words have never been spoken
I personally used to be a massive fan of Apple, to the point which I made my Windows PC look as much as apple as I could. I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch which I used stock for a couple of months but then decided to plunge into Jailbreaking. I hadn't heard of android at the time and even when some of my friends had android phones I didn't really get it. I never looked back after Jailbreaking, but eventually it got boring. I had the opportunity to change phones (at this point I had a heavily customised iPhone 4) and switched to a Nexus 4, a phone if which I hadn't really heard of. At this point I was still a noob, but because I love customising constantly it only took one weekend for me to decide to root. Now, almost a year later, I've tried tons of new ROMS and kernels, I have Multi ROM Manager set up and am about to hardware mod my Nexus 4. Customising is something I love to do, which is what made me switch to Android. Jailbreaking was great, but just wasn't enough.
WILL NEVER ROOT MY GALAXY, BUT I JAILBREAK THE SH*T OUTTA MY APPLE DEVICES LOL
Root voids your warranty and you can brick an android i feel more safe jailbreaking
+Erik Rodriguez You realize that jailbreaking an iOS device will void its' warrenty too, right? And you can most certainly brick an iOS device from jailbreaking.
benbaptist if you restore there is no way they'll know that you did jailbreak and no you can't brick a iPhone
+Erik Rodriguez You can restore an Android device too. you are also possibly more likely to permanently brick an iOS device when doing very hacky low-level stuff.
benbaptist no bruh i have seen bricked android but never a brick iphone and they told me that the company can still check if your android phone was rooted in the past
The first thing I have done with all my iDevices is as soon as the come out the box, jailbreaking is no. 1 priority. First off, have you seen those insane in-app purchase prices they charge? At least with jailbreaking you get all in-app purchases for free! Then iOS games become playable when you don't need to buy whatever is considered money in the game. Also all paid apps from AppStore are also free. This is the main reason I jailbreak. But then there is a lot of cool tweaks that I can't live without. But the free in-app purchases has got to be the ultimate tweak!
Singing* do what you want because a pirate is free, you are a pirate!
multiconsolegamer HO HO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU ARE A PIRATE!!!!!!
multiconsolegamer wiis suck ass
Yeah man, that's why the wii sold over 89 million units, if you are basing your view of great consorts by graphics alone, you are a moron.
Consoles*
I don't jailbreak... Becouse there is no (released) jailbreak for iOS 9.1 yet.. :'(
You know you can downgrade your iOS version in settings right
Really? HOW!? :D
+Sam Kris just go to usage, go to storage and delete your current iOS. It will revert back
Pangu released a jailbreak for iOS 9.0-9.0.2
Omg ikr. Don't worry. There r TH-cam vids on how to downgrade
I rooted to get rid of fucking ads -_-
and root is just amazing :D
+FinnishDude You could've just downloaded Adblock :D
+UnrealPlayaz Yeah xD
Tyler Bang It doesn't xD Its on the app store
The title of this video doesn't really make sense. You didn't answer "Is Jailbreaking Worth It". You simply told me what jailbreaking is and asked what we think in the comments.
***** Well according to the title............ Yeah there should have been an answer.
I give you the pros and cons of jailbreaking and rooting and let you make your own decision. It's not for everyone.
I jailbreak and root all my devices because more options wouldn't hurt, if your doing it right. And with jailbreaking, you get a whole new experience.
Jailbreaking is funner than rooting an Android device because Cydia is such a fun place, and rooting you just have to go to the placestore and there isn't all that much you can do because all of the fun is in themes which Android already has.
YouLostTheGame97 True. But loading new Roms and CPU controlling is very useful IMO.
Rooted my Xperia T, Nova Launcher, Xposed framework, and TWRP recovery. Rooting your android phone is *absolutely essential* to experiencing your phone to the fullest. Thas isn't an opinion, but a fact. You cannot do things on a non-rooted phone that you could on one that's rooted.
When i get a new device, i play with it for a day probably, then root it the next day
I've always been sacred to jailbreak. This makes me a little more likely to give it a shot.
Do it! Now!
Jailbreak is awesome but don't do it if you have anything under the iphone 5 processor running ios 7. My iPod touch 5G is lagging as hell now, and trust me when i say, it never did before on ios 6...
I jailbroke my iPod touch 4g just fine! Most lag comes from installing heavy tweaks like a fully customized winter board theme! And iPhones are great to jailbreak as being they have more ram I think it's 1GB right now but iPods too are also fine just don't install super heavy tweaks cause that will obviously cause lag!
I still use an old flip phone. I don't like touchscreens anyways.
True that.
You just cant afford it
itzBlackyIraqi I own an Android S3, don't like it at all. I don't even like touchpads for laptops, I always prefer using a trackpoint because it doesn't remove your hands from the keyboard.
WAFFLESxDv That's hilarious that you're not only watching a video like this, but commenting on it if you don't like modern devices.
Stephen Putnick It's bound to happen, people just feel the need to express themselves I suppose.
After jailbreaking, it'd be hard to revert to stock iOS unless I absolutely had to.
This was really just saying what jailbreak was and mentioning some of the basic tweaks. It didn't really offer any advice as to whether you should do it or not. Also, it didn't really go into detail about how it can backfire. Misleading title is all in sayin
I always jailbreak my iPhone. I did stick with iOS 8.1 for a long time (once apple patched the exploit) but as soon as 8.3 and 8.4 had releases, I soon updated and started finding out which tweaks were compatible. I recommend jailbreaking your device, just to add some features that are not there
carefully the truth is actually reworded.
Apple limits what you can do on THEIR phones, not your phones.
Also ios is more secure then andoird.
Bat Swa I mean to say android.
My Galaxy S2 is rooted. I've got it running Cyanogenmod now, which I like much more than Samsung's flavor of Android.
It is Rooting not "Jailbreak"
You don't jailbreak android devices you root and mod them
totes meant to type "rooted", no idea why i typed "jailbroken". x.x
There are no words capable of describing how worth it it is. YES, you should jailbreak
There are those who jailbreak for creativity is far less then those who jailbreak to download free apps.
Who to fuck jailbreaks for free apps
Fucking sad people
I had jailbreak on my iphone 5s it was ok but i made my phone slower
I jailbreaked it for themes and faster animations
Yes you should. If you're 17 and crazy about snapchat then no you shouldn't. If you want more from your iPhone/ iDevice then yes definitely.
even then you should really, if you're tech savvy enough
I use snapchat and I built my own computer, repaired my own laptop, tablet and phone, I regularly root and jailbreak devices for friends and family. However I also send silly faces to my girlfriend on snapchat!
Same, it's just fun for goofing around with friends. Your tech savviness shouldn't be related to whether you use a certain app or not, nor you need to prove yourself as being tech savvy by making a list of what you do for someone on the internet. Just enjoy yourselves however you want and stop bitching
Bjork Vlogdok ahhhhhhhhhhhhh don't lie, you don't have a girlfriend
I don't have to prove myself to somebody who has a picture of Mirror's edge as their picture and therefore I am not going to justify anything to you.
This video should be renamed "Jailbreak explained".
I couldn't live without superuser rights.
I don't really like apple but... if they would give the user more control (like if you jailbreak it) I would like apple a hole lot more.....
Derp. Do you know what jailbreaking allows us to do? I think you don't. We have access to illegal things through a jailbreak. Cracked apps/tweaks among other things. Of course apple isn't going to open to that.
Yes I do know what jail breaking is, and I do own a jail broken device... There are many apps that are NOT illegal though. P.S. - "derp" is not a real word.......
Derp? Who cares if it isn't? You trying to be spell check that nobody uses? But really, If we want apple to "Accept" this, we have to remove illegal things from jailbreaking. They aren't going to say "Oh just because more of the reason to jailbreak isn't for illegal stuff we will allow it" No. If they did they'd be in trouble.
Tyler L
you comment on his word choice yet you used the wrong " whole" in your first comment lol
Zyrexed You tried correcting someone and forgot to capitalize "you".
(It should be "You")
... Also you missed a full stop.
Yes! I do.
I want my device to be fully mine @ full potential.
Still waiting for a 8.2 Jailbreak :\
saowilliam use the semi jailbreak for now
saowilliam aids.
Alex Hall same
yes there is *****
Looking back at iOS 8 smh
They have a convention just for jail breaking? Sad. Do they have a convention for drinking water too?
Lol
What about a convention about walking
They do it so people can talk about how to jailbreak iOS devices.
Quick answer: *There's no risk, you can restore the device at anytime & remove the jailbreak. Why would you want to lose all the nice tweaks though?*
When I jailbreaked my iPad mini, one month my ipad crashed. It kelp on turning on and off constantly. Then I had to format my device. No more jailbreak for me.
You're obviously not doing it right.
I did it right. When I downloaded a certain tweak my device crashed.
Jail breaking is cool though don't get me wrong
You have to watch what you download, as something's can brick your device.
Yea
I hate jail breaking because if you crack your phone iPod iPad or any iOS devise you can't fix it
yes you can. its called getting a new screen and uninstalling the cracked one.
You have to back up data and reset the device
If you crack it? Jailbreaking has nothing to do with breakin a screen. Lol.
No guys, when you go to the store to do those things Apple can't do it they don't like it when you jailbreak so they
Can't fix your iphone/ipad/iPod/I watch/anything :)
And it's disrespecting apple
Yes. I have my rooted note 2. Love the Hologlass theme, making apps, and notification draw transparent. Very clean look, along with all the extra customization you can do. Also rooting removes "bloat ware" and really improves overall performance.
Wow just jailbroke my iPad and then saw this video! but jailbreaking can and is also used for downloading free apps and software and i think he left that out of this video for a reason! :P
Your face is creepy as fuck
Thanks :D
Awesomeness Productions good reply
Thanks :D
I had 4 android phones, i rooted every one of them
There goes your warrenty
I jailbreak and root because no matter what it adds a personal touch to your device. You can control so much more features and even take some of the unwanted ones away.
I will always jailbreak as long as I have IOS device I have bought an s7 edge 3 months ago and I just hate it I hate android becuase Jailbroken ios is just better, ios is a good operating system + jailbreak = perfect I really like my iphone 5 on ios 8.3 Im gonna use it until I HAVE to get a new device.
BMWGamingHD you know you could just root your android. There are plenty of tutorials online and it gives you system access to the phone.
Batman The Baller I already have system access and I wont root it becuase I dont want to void warranty and I wont get anything like cydia with root
BMWGamingHD jailbreaking voids the warranty too
Batman The Baller you can always restore and if you root s7 edge for example it will show that it was rooted
Batman The Baller No it doesn't if you do a full restore Apple will never know.
I have an iPad 2 that pretty much doesn't get used at all now, should I jailbreak it?
Yes, If you take the risk :)
Yes
I've actually tried jail-breaking it but I keep getting some weird Chinese error that put me off.
Ive had jailbreak for a while now, no real problems except for minor keyboard lag (probably because it's extremely modded)
I don't know about jailbreaking, but custom ROMs are an absolute necessity for Android. The way Android devices, including flagship models, are released to the public is so disgusting it's unbelievable. Except for the likes of Nexus devices, they are bloated and slow. It's so sad that it takes a little effort to get these ROMs working, because the huge majority of people are living in ignorance of what Android really is. When I sold my Galaxy S3, and had to switch the phone back to TouchWiz, I almost threw up in my mouth. How Samsung can send out a device in this state is beyond anything I am able to comprehend. I hope to God that a way is paved so the masses can experience the glory of what a custom ROM is and what an Android experience can and should be.
Stop exaggerating dude, Samsung phones, especially the Note 3 and Galaxy S5, are hella fast even with the little amount of bloatware they have.
Carlo Manfredini I'm not exaggerating. Have you ever used a phone with liquidsmooth, or purity, or PSX, or any ROM? The little amount of bloatware? What would you consider little?
I've bought my Note 3 literally 6 months ago and it crashed on me twice. TWICE. And It's silky smooth, I'd say smoother than my mother's iPad Air, believe it or not.
Carlo Manfredini OK but have you used ROMS?
No, I have not used ROMS. To be honest with you, Touchwiz (Note 3 + ) is as smooth as vanilla Android.
my parents says its ok to jailbreak they think its cool
You have sick parents then
Cool parents bro!
Mine too
Same xD
The downside that I had with jailbreaking was that my IPod became slower and apps started crashing a lot. I couldn't even open Safari once but now it works. But other than that I think jailbreaking is worth it in my opinion if you know how to use it correctly.
What are the downsides of jailbreaking
Pixilated Square Draining battery life, possibly making your device laggy, and making the phone unstable. I personally am using a jail broken iPhone SE and I have none of the problems I listed above
Brysn Mercado so should I?
Pixilated Square What iPhone do you have?
Brysn Mercado a 6
Pixilated Square Yeah I think you should. It makes your device a lot more enjoyable to use. I have no regrets on jailbreaking my iPhone
All the "Apple won't repair your product thing" is true, but do like me, buy a plastic found for your screen and get a good case that protect the other parts off the phone and then, your phone is almost unbreakable xD
That's what I think it's truly not worth it to be cause I fuck up iphones fast from dropping them ..
Kitty Kitterz Buy a tablet of this brand: Alcatel onetouch I dropped it 56 times and it never hanged, lag or stuff. I removed all protections (case and plastic) and i dropped it on purpose and when I played it again its still running fine.
TheSneakyScout Na I don't want any other operative systems then iOS and OS X xD
Ok
TheSneakyScout Alcatel onetouch is really weak in CPU/GPU though... I fiddled with my aunt's onetouch for a week, and despite never lagging or hanging, it can't run most of the games even my aging 2011 iPod Touch 4th Gen runs smoothly. And the iPod Touch 5th Gen, iPhone 5/5c, iPhone 5S, and iPhone 6/6Plus obliterate the OneTouch.... The OneTouch is a good competitor to the iPhone 3GS or iPod Touch 3rd Gen, but not for any newer iPhone/iPod Touch...
still got my jailbreaked iPhone, love to fill it up with songs.. Google ZillaTube, it helps
Should I jailbreak my iPhone 5C on iOS 9?
It will only work if you have 9.0. 9.1-9.3.2 won't work for a jailbreak on a 5C.
+Jake H how bout 6?
DONT TRY JAILBRAIKING OR ROOTING YOUR ANDROID
why do you say that?
No!!!!!!
I have a iPhone 5S on ios 8.3 should i jailbreak it?
Yes you should while u can I'll get many things out of it. TH-cam top 10 tweaks on TH-cam and see for yourself
Yes
wait till the warrenty has run out
I personally think that rooting/jail breaking your phone is worth it. You could hack games, close auto starting apps and even tweak your CPU
Guys, no matter how cool Rooting your Android sounds, DON'T do it! Google will restrict you from doing half the stuff you can do with an Android, and they will give you a big "Fuck you!" 🖕
lol nope
Honestly I never regretted rooting my android.
how? just tell me how you idiot! i rooted my phone and unlocked MORE features from google like Now on tap.
+rayen attia When I rooted my phone, I couldn't ask for technical support to help with the error codes that kept showing up every time I wanted to get a Google item on my phone. You can't even update software.
rayen attia
Androids are like jail broken I phones already that's why we rule
except you have no fun apps and shitty battery life ex de
Mashu Koria my galaxy tab 3 last 10 hours and the apps are amazing what you mean lol give me some apps that we dont have
Lmao don't listen to him, bad battery life my ass, your puny iPhone 6 gets 4hrs of sot, my oneplus one is chilling on 8 hours, with 33% to go. BITCH
AllStarKingD Why does all Android fanboys always bitching in the iPhone videos?
Jacob Whettell That's a great comment +1
Advice: You can Jailbreak, but NEVER DOWNLOAD TWEAKS. Recently, I jailbroke my iPhone, and I was pretty damn excited! I could download Cydia and do some awesome stuff! So, i started downloading some tweaks. A few days later, while I was playing a game in my iPhone, it suddenly just stopped. Just... stopped. And then, it reboot itself. It didn't completely reboot. My iPhone, was stuck on the apple logo, and then reboot itself again. I couldn't get out of the apple logo. I took it to the Apple Store, but they said I could replace it or buy a new one. Trust me, their is no solution if you download a few tweaks (even ONE tweak) your phone, will be in danger.
LolZ Dabz you probably used pirated sources and tweaks
I have windows phone. no need to jailbreak. :D
Why are you here?
240pixel Windows Phone? Cool! I use Android, but Windows Phone is also an excellent choice!
Slush_ Well my windows phone drowned. I have android now. :)
240pixel Aw, that's sad. Windows Phone is good.
Too bad a Windows phone is the shittiest phone in existence ;)
Good to know that the Jailbreak scene is still going strong. Used to be hugely into it before my iPod touch 2G died back in 2011, and wasn't sure if it would continue. I guess Cydia still has its monopoly on the JB app scene?
I was one of those that constantly extolled the virtues of jailbreaking to all my friends, even going so far as to JB their devices for them. I've been on android since and not seen the need to root really, as i'm never going to need that level of access for my own use.
Jailbreaking was so annoying. First you have to wait for a jailbreak, then something crashes and you have to reset your device. When you reset it you get a update and you have to wait for a jailbreak again...
It's so much easier with android, you can do most of the things without even rooting. If you need to root it's no problem.
I've had an iPhone 3, 3Gs and 4s and I have jailbroken all of them, just so I could play emulators, or for SBsettings back in the day of iOS 4, 5 and 6.
I now have a Nexus 5 and I have rooted it to be able to add custom toggles (Gravity Board) on stock android. I will eventually change to a custom ROM when I get board of stock android.
I must say though that I don't think I would jailbreak straight away with iOS8, as they seem to have a lot of features that I used to have to jailbreak for, implemented straight into the OS.
I've both jailbroken my iPhone and rooted my Android tablet. Firstly in the name of getting rid of those accursed in-app purchases, but I've always been interested in tinkering with my device and inserting my own code into it.
I have done it once, on my iPod Touch 4th generation. It I guess is cool, but it does get so many glitches if you messed up once or twice. I definitely recommend jailbreaking a device that is more older, not the one you use on a day to day basis.Sometimes jailbreaking can really mess up your device, so that's why I waited a while to do it.
In my opinion Rooting is a must on android. I rooted my android a few months back and am amazed by the extra customizable features it brings. I install CyanogenMod 11 on my lg optimus g pro and am amazed by the performance. Putting a ROM on your android is a must if you are rooted. The only downside to rooting is you are voiding your warranty and you cannot turn back after it has been done, Plus you run the risk of "bricking" your phone while installing a ROM which is a REAL pain if it happens.
I used to jailbreak when I had an iPhone. It was nice to have something really unique. I have an LG G3 that I rooted but honestly I don't use it for anything special.. The only thing I take advantage of is deleting carrier bloatware and turning the volume louder than the default 100%
Jailbreaking is amazing because 1. No risk 2. It's not illegal 3. You can customize almost everything on your phone
rooting / jail breaking is worth it for me because of the customization factor
I love your intro. "Hey guys! This is Austin.
I've jailbreaked my iPhone because I hate to used how it comes out the box. But with it I can do what ever I want . thanks 4 that dear Jailbreakers ! You make my iOS products useful :)
Jailbreaking an iOS device is much easier than rooting an Android device, but comes with risks. Once your jailbroken, you done, BUT, you have a high chance of bricking/banning you iPhone. Rooting your Android is much harder, being that you have to find the right firmware version, right android version and so on, but once your rooted, you most likely wont be banned.
If you're saying that once you're jailbroken you can't go back, that's wrong. I jailbroke my iPod Touch 4G. With the 4G already being slow (at least it was slow to me), jailbreaking it made it lag, and even crash sometimes. I restored it to an iCloud backup, making it no longer jailbroken.
I jailbroke my iPod and I really like it. A major downside is the battery life was halfed after jail breaking
I usually root my phone after about 6 months of having it. It lets me always have the newest version of android and basically lets me customize whatever I want and install tons of crazy mods that do crazy awesome things. I really don't see any downsides to it other than it's not quite as stable on a custom rom but as long as you know what you're doing you'll be fine.
I USED to jailbreak all of my devices, but since iOS7, i haven't really had the need to as i'm not getting much out of it. (I also have a 5s, and whenever i consider it i find out it's not available for my phone)
YES its worth it but it makes u a bit in danger from unsafe tweak and other stuff
I have jailbroken before. You really can't customize much of anything on an iPhone unless it's jailbroken.
I don't root Android because I don't feel it's necessary since Android is already so customizable but if you have an Apple device, you should jailbreak because it opens up a lot of new opportunities to customize it.
I just rooted my LG-P655K Android phone today. Rooting your device certainly comes with its benefits.
I rooted my ancient LG Optimus T because A. I could and B. Now I can use Link2SD which is vital because the phone has a 1GB chip, which is used half for RAM and storage so I have a 1/2 GB for everything on internal memory, which is taken up mostly by the OS. And the clunky boot and shutdown animations from T-Mobile. I definitely love the functions of root and when I get my Nexus 6 I will be rooting it. I also love the Avast Anti-Theft rooted functions over non-root.
I would but as because of past experiences dramatically slowing down my device i have refrained from rooting my android and jailbraking my apple devices
You didnt answer the question should you jailbreak nor did you talk about any of the disadvantages or why we should or should not jailbreak, you just gave us a few clips from jailbreakcon which isnt what we came to see.
Not as often as I used to. Up until iOS 5 from iPhone OS 2 I had every version jailbroken at all times on all my devices and a condition to update was if the newer system was jailbreakable. Ever since iOS 7, I kind of ditched jailbreaking. I had it jailbroken for a while, then I realised I really didn't need anything jailbreaking provides. There still is some really cool stuff available by jailbreaking but personally I don't find it to be enough of a reason to jailbreak and wait months before updating to make sure a jailbreak is available.
I want to root my Android because of the cool features you can have, but the thing is my dad told me if you do root or jailbreak, it voids your contract with you phone company, and that dosn't sound like a good thing
I've had 3 Android phones and one tablet, rooted all of them the same day I got them, can't deal without root. So for Android IMO it's definitely worth rooting if you're at all technically-minded (it's crazy easy these days). My main reasons for rooting were increased battery life and performance through ROMS that had no manufacturer bloatware. There are also cool root-only apps such as AdBlockers, XposedFramework etc. that can do all kinds of really useful stuff... but that's secondary to me. I'm getting an iPad Mini 2 soon because the Nexus 9 isn't sold in my country and importing it is really expensive.
BTW I realise Rooting and Jailbreaking are two very different things, rooting takes an already open platform and opens it up even further by granting write access to the system partition. Jailbreaking takes a completely closed OS and opens it up slightly. I'm pretty sure even an unrooted Android phone has more customizeability than a Jailbroken iPhone. But that remains to be seen when I get my iPad
Based on your statements rooting and jailbreaking are the same .DUMB ASS
You're so dumb and ignorant. Jailbreak allows more, you can change any app's behaviour, including Apple's, to what you want!
RN allows more? really... So you can swop out Apple's build of iOS for a third-party developer's build of iOS? Change the behavior of apps all you like, you're still in Apple's OS. With custom ROMS such as Cyanogenmod you can completely remove all ties to Google, if you so choose. Look it up, choice, it's something iOS users aren't used to. Jailbreaking certainly does not allow more than rooting.
ecalray Where did you get that from? The part where I specifically say I realize they are different...?
Pieter Rossouw you can remove all ties with Google, and then most Apps won't work.
You said rooting opens up an open os further and jailbreak opens up closed os.. They jusy both open up extra features on both OS, dumb ass ... They just both opens up! But one is called rooting and the other is called jailbreak.. Disregard the OS ! They have specialty on their own .. It doesnt matter if ios is closed and android is not, they (jailbreak and rooting) just both open more acces.. DUMBASS
This is a video I have been wanting for a long time
I jailbreak. Depending on the device, I sometimes to it multiple times. I've had my iPhone 5s for over a year and jailbroke it 2 days ago. I always wait a little to see wether or not to jailbreak. In most cases I find a reason to do so. It is helpful, because you can customize your device a lot more and save money on some things like apps and in app purchases.
Jailbreaking definitely worth it. I jailbreaked my iPhone 5 for few months and it was awesome. Just keep in mind that malware and viruses could easily infect your device.
I don't as I'm worried about breaking my phone or do something that I'm not meant to. This is normally what most average people would say as they don't know enough to be confidant in doing jailbreak or adding different ROMs and so on.
I jailbreak all my apple products, it adds MANY features that apple has not implemented. Simple things like the ability to see your battery life on a iPod is crazy that apple never implemented it.
I jailbroke my iPhone on iOS 10.2 with a semi-tethered jailbreak -> gets unjailbroken with every powering off the device - and even when the jailbreak isn't active it is still pretty unstable
I once rooted my Xperia Play because there was 2 games that followed with it that you normally couldn't remove.
Jailbreaking is just fine. As long as you don't wanna show off and download 298384757583910103 tweaks. Also loom what tweak you download, it usually comes with warnings.
I think jail breaking is ok. It went to court and said " it's your device you can do what you'd like "
After rooting my galaxy s3 mini i couldn't believe the amount of customizations and tweaks available. But I didn't root my phone for a long time because i was afraid of bricking it. Only after months of looking up rooting information(mainly from XDA website) did I have the confidence to try it. AnI am glad I did. The tweaks that increase battery life has helped a lot.
I have not experienced the benefits of rooting an Android device. I used to help my dad jailbreak his iPod.
