Hey guys,
I've been reading up on unlocking iPhones, and it sounds like you can get some really cool results, but the one thing that's holding me back is that it could be kind of dangerous and could damage your phone. I really love my iPhone, and am looking for advice. If I decide to do it, which method should I use? It sounds like there's quite a few of them. I read something about tethered jailbreaking, not sure if I want to go that route unless it's recommended. Is there a way to undo it if I don't like the results or experience difficulty using the phone? Could tethered jailbreaking be good for this, then (if I understand tethered jailbreaking correctly)? What will change on my iPhone if I do it? I read one method will replace the App Store with one called Cydia. Is that just one method that will do that, or will they all? What are the risks? Do I need to use the most current versions of whatever I use to unlock it? I'm currently downloading iTunes version 10.5 now. Will anything happen to any apps I have on my phone?
I just got my iPhone 4 (version 4.3.5) this past April (first ever smartphone), and so far I love it. I don't want to do anything that could permanently damage it, but it sounds like I can get good results by following the steps. But if I'm going to do it, I want to do it right. Advice, please! And thank you!!
