iPhone/iPod Touch Jailbreaking becomes Super Simple!

Jailbreaking your iPhone or iPod Touch couldn’t get any simpler than this. A team of hackers have come up with what is arguably the best way to jailbreak that Apple Toy of yours. Erica Sadun of the TUAW fame who was one of the developers of jailbreakme.com (I’m not linking to it, because it can wreak havoc with your Desktop Safari Browser)

The jailbreak opens your iPhone for full disk access and installs Installer.app so you can add pretty much any third party application you like. To use it all you need to do is point the Safari Browser on your iPod or iPhone to jailbreakme.com, once there read the instructions and scroll to the bottom, Tap and install AppSnapp. Just after you have done this, your Safari will crash, which means that your iPhone has been successfully jailbreaked.

The iPhone should now restart and Slide to Unlock. On the home screen you will find a shiny new Installer.app icon. Tap it and install apps that you have always wanted on iPhone.

Well here are a few features of this method of Jailbreak!

  • Jailbreaks iPhone/iPod Touch on 1.1.1
  • Patches Springboard to load third party apps
  • Activates non-AT&T iPhones automatically, while leaving already activated phones alone
  • Fixes YouTube on non-AT&T iPhones automatically, while leaving already activated phones alone
  • Installs Installer.app v3.0b5 on the iPhone/iPod Touch
  • Fixes Apple’s TIFF bug, making your device MORE secure than it was without AppSnapp!

Hat Tip : Try the do the Jailbreak over WiFi rather than EDGE, simply because the chances of failure on WiFi is almost nil.

    This is awesome, It required me to be on Wi-Fi to perform the install but after that it worked great. You can't ask for a more simpler process!
