iOS Jailbreak/Android Rooting Megathread - Next JB coming @ iOS 7.0

[BanishedLetters]

I'm thinking about jailbreaking but.

From my experience it lowers my battery life, and some friends say it slows down the phone and just forgets it up.

Should I jailbreak?

If you have an older device battery life will go to stuff, if you have a newer device it shouldn't though. As far as the device slowing down, if you install loads of useless crap you never use then yeah it'll slow down but otherwise it really shouldn't effect it very much.

"Restore - Restore to an IPSW, with support for saved blobs and downgrades"
I have no idea what this means.

First option is the same thing as resetting the device iirc, the second one allows you to use IPSWs to downgrade to a lower iOS i'm pretty sure

If I were to upgrade to the next iOS version, what would happen?

Please explain to me how this is legal.

It isn't forcing you to do anything illegally, therefore it isn't illegal

But stealing money is illegal.

Wtf are you talking about.

Wtf are you talking about.

Well, I guess it depends on what you're jailbreaking it for.
It can be stealing.

are you high or what

Should work fine without any slowdowns. Just don't be stupid and download tons of stuff

If I were to upgrade to the next iOS version, what would happen?

I upgraded from a jailbroken iPod on iOS 3.x to 4.2.1. Nothing happened except Cydia wasn't there, but all my files stayed.

that's the same logic as saying "well i COULD go to the bank, shoot someone and rape their children while stealing a couple thousand" and not doing so but you get arrested regardless

The process of jailbreaking itself does nothing in terms of stealing, or breaking the law. Hence jailbreaking is completely legal. the illegal part is where people have created apps that allow users to have cracked versions of apps. I don't want anyone talking about that here, becuase, well, they'll get banned. But the point is: jailbreaking is legal. You can look through the wikipedia article, which addresses legality I think.

I'll make another post with the tweaks I'm using. I just changed my setup again last night, but my springboard didn't change. I've just been messing with my lockscreen.
