You are on your own risk and use with caution.
 
I did and it's all good.

iPhone 4S
 
I jailbreak it and I'm not impressed by it. How do I go back to original iOS?

Use iTunes to restore to original firmware.

Jailbreak is better if you are tethering or hacking stuffs, also just google for guide to hacking for fun.
 
Jailbreaking a phone to use free tethering is theft. Jailbreaking itself should be too IMO but courts disagreed. Your service provider gives a large discount for iPhones if you contract for their services. Signing that contract with say Verizon, and then jailbreaking the phone to get around Verizon fees, is dishonest. Verizon kept their deal by supplying a phone at a greatly reduced cost.

Just because jailbreaking was made legal by the courts doesn't mean you can use apps to violate a contract. The sad part is this kind of crap drives up the bill of those of us who are honest.
 
By philosophies, I disagree with you.

Verizon does have unfair practice - they REQUIRED me to have voice plan to use tethering because they said tethering isn't offered in data/text only - that's specialized for deaf people. The tethering is included by default in all voice/data/text in combined. I fought with Verizon really HARD and they have check system that must passed - take voice plan out will automatically fail the test. Only ONE PLAN that Verizon has 2 GB data/text will pass without voice since all other plans are not. The managers told me that they have no power to override to take voice plan out, so the system is controlled by IT that followed rules set by executives. I don't have unlimited data - I have 2 GB data, when I go over 2 GB so I will have overage - more fair, more money for Verizon like everyone use it.

The voice plan is completely pointless for me because I can't use oral language at all, even can't talk. Verizon is only one service that works with me, so no competitors work for area that where I live in.

Verizon no longer to block the tethering anymore and they didn't update the old plan to include tethering by default. Using tethering is just "don't tell, don't ask" and they aren't going looking for us, except for customers with unlimited data that don't subscribe to tethering. One representative told me that I have look around to bypass the voice plan, but she isn't going help due to unethical practice in business. I don't blame on managers nor representatives - the problem is with high level.

I use jailbreaking for tethering and use apps that don't approved by Apple. Jailbreaking the iOS make feel like more computer that allow me to customize any stuffs that I like - feel like Linux.

I paid iPhone and I paid the service by monthly, since iPhone 5 is personal matter. If you no longer to use service before end of 2 years so what happen - they have early termination fee.

See Android - the rooting is very popular and common, so Google is very open with applications on market.

Rooting and jailbreaking will void the warranty - no doubt. I chose to take a risk and there is option to un-jailbreak by restore to original firmware - not big issue.

That doesn't change a thing. No one forced you to sign a contract with Verizon. The customer makes that choice when they sign their name. Again, Verizon kept their end of the deal by supplying a phone at a significant discount. Phones without a contract are available. There is no philosophy involved here. Signing a contract to get a discounted phone and then violating that contract by doing things to avoid charges is wrong.

I disagree with you and your plan - that LEFT me without any phone.

Not going discuss about whichever jailbreaking is wrong or not - not designed in my thread.

I didn't say jailbreaking. I said using jailbreaking to tether and circumvent contractual obligations and avoid paying what was agreed to. That raises the costs for hardworking, honest people.

Let me ask you this. If Verizon decided tomorrow to turn off your phone on the weekends and only allow you to use it Monday - Friday, would that be wrong?

That's not concern with Verizon anymore and the tethering is open to all customers with tiered data, but Verizon has issue with system that haven't fixed yet. That what I learned from high level tech support on phone last September about policy changes.

The jailbreaking is my business matter.

Exactly, they settled with the FCC and created new plans pricing tethering into them and now everybody is hurt by the actions of some that wouldn't obey the terms of their contract. Older people living on fixed incomes and who have no idea what tethering even is, will have to pay more. That is exactly my point.

Nobody was discussing "your business." I am discussing the act in general.

The mobile share combined all voice, text and data into single package to make easier and affordable for families and groups. Verizon and at&t adopted those feature because many customers have more than one device.

Deaf people who don't use voice, are largely disadvantage with mobile share, but lucky, Verizon and at&t offer plan without voice plan with difference price.

If old people aren't happy with those change, so they could goes to other carrier like t-mobile or Sprint.

That's business practice - Verizon and at&t chose with those practice because they want make customers happy with more feature.

US telephone companies have horrible practice for many years due to lack of competitors - we only have 4 big wireless phone companies, compared to really many, many in Europe. That why I hate monopolies and that how system allowed to continue in the US. Many other countries like South Korea have cheaper internet options due to many competitors and we are not because we are usually limited to very few companies like just ONE in my area.
 
Now everybody has to suffer thanks to the selfishness of some.

Now that Verizon has changed its pricing plans, I understand that its tethering capability no longer requires an extra fee. But because of the way the plan is structured, it seems like the cost is still built into the service. Is this one way Verizon gets around violating the terms of service? In other words, aren't you still charging for tethering?
Here's Verizon's response to this question: "Our usage-based plans allow customers to pay for the data they need and use, including any tethering done through third party applications."
First of all, so long as Verizon doesn't actively block lawful apps from its network or devices, it's not violating the terms of the rules for open access. But clearly under the new pricing scheme, Verizon is building charges into its service for features that not all customers may want to use. For example, it's also offering unlimited voice and text messaging. If you only use 300 voice minutes per month and send few text messages, you're paying for a service that you don't need. The same is true for customers who won't use the the tethering feature.

It wasn't business that did this to customers. Time to move on.

Small correction, this is big incorrect statement. It's not the same.

Android is made to be rooted. Many handsets allow bootloader unlock by default now or you can visit their webpage to download official software to unlock (HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Sony). That's how it is designed with Linux OS anyway, root for elevated access.

Apple never intended iPhone/iOS to be jailbroken... They still don't allow it by default and you need to go to Cydia for jailbroken apps, the store doesn't have them. To unlock iOS device requires to run hack or custom code by third party.

Google Play store allows most rooted apps except for illegal ones.

That's why I believe it's not fair to compare rooting to jailbreaking. One is open source (android), the other is closed (iOS).

Look at flagship android device - Nexus series - It's always unlocked bootloader and no effort to root.

That's business make change and you need look at flawed system that we have, but those topic isn't part of my thread.

I'm not interested to discuss about morality of jailbreaking, that's never happened in any threads that discuss about jailbreaking and rooting. You are first time to brought and the morality isn't related to my thread.

Time for back to topic about jailbreaking for iOS. If you don't like it so don't come, that's simple. :ty:
