    It makes perfect sense to ask here, being the Iphone jailbreak forum and all. ;)

      It is. You need to jailbreak it indeed. No need of tutorial, simply take a screwdriver, put in the front camera hole, press twice to reset the erasable memory access, and restart it.

      Yes, as this is highly illegal, I would avoid to post about it on a public forum in the internet.

        Are you joking or messing with the OP? Jailbreaking an iPhone was actually found to be legal. It still can violate your contract, but it's not illegal.

          Why the term "jailbreaking"? Is the use of the iPhone akin to being in jail? Too lazy to Google right now. :)

            I think that's the general idea. Your are imprisoned by the artificial restrictions imposed onto the iPhone by Apple. To jailbreak the iPhone means to escape those restrictions by removing the artifical limitations. EDIT

              It is regarded as setting it free. Breaking it out of the prison imposed by Apple.

                I don't follow you, are you implying that the OP should not post this here? I think a lot of us use iPhones (I do), so it seems perfectly reasonable to ask this question in the Lounge.

                      Perhaps, but there must be better places to ask a lot of stuff posted in the Lounge. And that's if that person knows those other places (and still they may be more comfortable with this community). We are all technically savvy and one of us is likely to have the answer, so it seems like a fine place to ask. And who in the Lounge doesn't love a reason to bash Apple? ;P

                        This is a tough one. There are some open source tools to do this, but I'm too lazy to deal with all the details. There are some packages that claim to be easy and foolproof, but there are also claims on many blogs that these are scams. Can't make any sense out of it. If anyone has any suggestions, this is the perfect place to post. We're all techies and into this sort of stuff. I'd like to join the OP to express appreciation to anyone that can help.

                            The fact that his method involved stuffing a screw driver into a hole and pushing (vs a software attack) wasn't enough of a hint for you?

                                Do my homework? There are many posts here asking for advice about gadget purchases, laptops, and so on. Not to mention the ever riveting cricket posts, self-adulation posts, and other assorted rants. What's wrong with asking tech question in the lounge?

                                      In this case, not needed - I gave you a 5 :)

                                        I may get this link wrong because I'm trying to type it from memory... http://www.google.com I guess I can see why people are so reluctant to type that out. That's a SERIOUSLY long URL...

                                        It's not the URL that's so long, it's the list of resulting crap that's infinitely long.

                                          BTW - just a quick rundown on unlock and jailbreak... Unlocking an iPhone will only let you use a SIM from another carrier. It won't allow you to run "unauthorized" apps. Jailbreaking an iPhone will let you run "unauthorized" apps, but you'll still be stuck with your carrier. Most people will unlock and jailbreak an iPhone which allows them maximum flexibility from the device that they've purchased. I hope that helps (at least just a little). Now if I could just find an unlock/jailbreak solution that isn't a scam.
