How To Hack/Jailbreak Iphone/iPod Touch

**Sneaky Poptart** · 02-13-2009, 09:01 PM

I have a jailbroken Iphone but I did not jailbreak it personally (friend did it for me). But i have downloaded QuickPwn and the update and i need to know if there is any downsides do jailbreaking the iPhone, such as possibly bricking it, or messing it up in any way? I have AT&T now and i would like to keep that service (if that is possible after jailbreak) and i was wondering if there was anyway AT&T could see that i had homebrew apps because ive heard they can monitor your phone and shut down your service if they see you have anything like that (installer, cydia).

there aren't really any risks, apple can't see if u have cydia or installer installed, it's impossible to brick the iphone by updating it

ok cool so just revert back to original firmware if you have problems with it and have to turn it in? The only reason i ask is becuase he said in his post "Hope cry and pray that this will work! as it is prepared for Jailbreak!" thats the only reason i was worried. I found a statement saying something also that i was worried about:

"you need to be aware that iPhone firmware 2.2 breaks Turbo SIm (in case you are using it) - the hardware method to unlock iPhone 3G so if Dev team's software method which is still in beta does not work you might not be able to use your iPhone 3G."

I know the newest firmware is 2.2.1 but i am still running 2.2 as i believe. so this worries me.
