Easy jailbreak on the iPhone, iPod Touch
October 30, 2007
If you enjoy your iPhone and iPod Touch but you wish you could install third-party applications in them, there’s an easy way to do so now. A group of hackers have come up with an easy way to jailbreak these Apple units and it really works.
Jailbreaking your iPhone or iPod Touch allows you full access to the disk, enabling you to do pretty much anything you want to with it. The hacker group responsible for this exploit includes hdm/metasploit, rezn, dinopio, drudge, kroo, pumpkin, davidc, dunham, and NerveGas.
Installing jailbreak can be done either via wi-fi or EDGE, though most users prefer wi-fi due to higher success rates. If you want to jailbreak, the first step is done by visiting their site through Safari and confirming that you want it in your system.
Once you do that, read the directions and tap Install Appsnap. Safari should disappear and you’ll end up on the main Home screen. That means you’re good to go.
There are instances that Safari would hang and you’ll have to quit and hold home, then try again. After that, you’ll be guided to some pretty simple steps and you’re home free. Your iPhone or iPod Touch has been unlocked and you can have fun with all the third-party applications you can get hold of.
