Jailbreak Software: A Review of the Three Top Jailbreaking Applications
Wednesday, December 1st, 2010Hi everyone – I’ve got a new discussion for you today on the subject jailbreak software. I thought that it was high time someone did a review of the Top 3 jailbreaking applications out there. Each of these packages can crack your iphone or other Apple device automatically. All you have to do install the software on your computer, and then hook up the iPhone via USB. It’s not that difficult with the right software, but I wouldn’t recommend trying to do it on your own, unaided, unless your a hacker of the highest degree. Instead, think about grabbing one of these apps or another one that’s similar and be done with it in less than 10 minutes. So, here are my top 3:
1)Automatic iPhone Unlocker
This is my top pick. You’ve got to see it working to believe how easy it is. Since this is a bit of a hobby of mine, I’ve used this package personally on more than 25 iPhones and iPods for friends and clients. You download and install it, hit “Go” and then the unlock take less than 5 minutes from beginning to end. Seriously – you hit the “Go” button and then go grab yourself a soda while the app cracks your phone or MP3 player. Also importantly, the Auto iPhone Unlocker does a complete jailbreak. Some of the other packages out there do an incomplete jailbreak. I’ll break it down for you: When you do a complete jailbreak, this suggests that you can use your Apple device on carriers outside of the ones that Apple tries to force down your throat. An incomplete jailbreak, on the other hand, will let you install 3rd party apps from Cydia or elsewhere, but doesn’t touch the SIM card. The company that makes this package only take Paypal, which might be a pain for some people. But by the same token, this tells you that they’re a reputable company and not just some fly by night outfit. I also have had good experiences with their customer support team, which was a win. The cost was pretty low too. Like I said, this package is my top pick, and I give it 5 stars.
2 – iJailbreak Wizard
In addition another one that I’ve used recently. Better-than-average application in general. The total hack process (following the download) was completed in around 11 minutes, which is not that bad. They also takeaccepts Paypal. My primary complaint was that the site only offers an incomplete jailbreak. This is okay if you’re unlocking device that is not Apple, or if you’re okay with using your Apple device on Sprint. The cost is a touch lower as a result, so if you simply wish to hack your device and do not really have concern about using it on some other provider, or if you’re usinga phone that is not an Apple, it can be a really great option. Similar to my #1 option, the instructions were very easy to follow.
Another problem though, was that they don’t offer customer service over the phone. Only via email. Overall score of 4 stars.
3) Global iPhone Unlock
This product was adequate, but I wasn’t hugely impressed with it. They do do a complete unlock, and they are fully above board, as opposed to some applications on the Internet. That’s about the most that I can say for the application, however. The companies says that the program will let you hack a phone in less than 5 minutes. But it took me roughly thirty minutes and 2 calls to customer support to get it done – mainly due to the fact that their instructions sucked. They were a bit more pricey than numbers 1 and 2 as well. They also have a couple upsells that they attempt to foist on you. Technical support was acceptable. They offered a phone number instead of just an email address, however, it was in India and the guy’s instructions were quite tough to understand. Overall rating 5/10.
That is all the time there is today. Stop back soon for updates!
