How To Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone iOS 4

Posted on

Jailbreak, or “hacking” is giving a user read/write access to otherwise locked OS files on your iPhone.

It allows you to “unlock” your iPhone and activate it on another GSM carrier that doesn’t have bad Luke Wilson commercials. It gives you access to app stores like Cydia that offer programs that you won’t see in Apple’s popular counterpart. It’ll even give you the ability to customize the background of your home screen and change the look of your icons and menu colors.
