iPhone 5 Jailbreak
The iPhone 5 is the most beautiful Apple device yet and most people would love to get their hands on it, if they haven't already done so. However, Apple is notorious for being quite limiting in how much you can do with their devices, which has led hackers to come up with ways to “jailbreak” the iPhones. Some rumors suggest that Apple is well aware of this and is actually playing a cat and mouse game with the hackers. Be that as it may, why should you perform an iPhone 5 jailbreak and how do you do it?
Why You Should Perform an iPhone 5 Jailbreak
When you jailbreak your device, you will be able to have full access to the various features that Apple tries to keep you away from. This includes performance upgrades and various applications. However, you should only look into how to jailbreak iPhone 5 devices if you fully understand that you will also break the terms and conditions associated with it. The reality is, however, that if you want to get the most out of your Apple device, you will need to break those terms and conditions, because the hardware is otherwise too restrictive, leaving you without the benefits of any kind of third party application.
Pros and Cons
Before you do decide to find out how to jailbreak iPhone 5 devices, make sure you understand the pros and cons. In terms of benefits:
- You can unlock your network.
- You can change the system files.
- You can install rejected third party applications.
- You can access all sorts of free software.
- You can customize older iOS operating systems. You can do a Bluetooth transfer.
- You are likely to lose the warranty of your device (although you can restore your phone to pre-jailbreak settings)
- You can impair how well your device functions if you install too much.
- You are breaking the terms and conditions.
How to Jailbreak iPhone5 Devices
If you have decided that you want to go ahead and perform an iPhone 5 jailbreak, how do you proceed? This is the million dollar question, of course, and one that is not easy to answer. There are various online programmers out there that will do the work for you, but it means you have to install something on your phone. If you want to go for this, make sure you check that the software is suitable specifically for your iPhone 5 and its iOS version.
Jailbreak with Evasion
The best tool to use is known as EvasiOn. Before you use it, make sure you have a solid backup of all the information currently held on your phone. Disable any unlock codes that you have on your device as well. You should download Evasion to your computer and connect your iPhone. The procedure should then start automatically, so make sure you leave both devices alone for the time being. If there is a block, rest this by pressing home and lock at the same time, until you see the Apple logo. Once completed, you will see a “jailbreak” icon on your springboard, which you need to click before restarting your device.
