yeah defo as sayer says just reload the back up you make before the jailbreak then its all back to normal

when you do it it downloads 2 new app stores the main one being "cydia" which you get the apps from

not sure if you can get them else where though

[-Jason-]

How do you create the backup before you do it?

Can you still plug it into itunes without it syncing it back to the origional settings?

[Mysticp]

If you do it from the comupter that you sync the phone with then it should just restore all your music etc back after it jilbreaks it.

Can just use it as normal from then on but if itunes every tells you theres a new firmware version available for your phone, dont install it. It takes the jailbreak guys upto a month sometimes to get the new jailbreaks out for each new firmware version.

I mainly want it for pretty backgrounds and free apps I find the travel ones really interesting I know thats geeky lol

And easy guides to do it, also how long and how much computer knowledge is needed?

[Mysticp]

None, the pwnage tool app tells you what to do, literally all thats required is to hold a couple of buttons on the phone when the app tells you to and it will all be fine.

I know i was just seeing if there was more than one as I wanted the easiest but look quite simple so downloading now

Also what are the best apps to get, backgrounds, games etc

[Danr]

Think i might jailbreak mine soon. Sayer can you pop in at some point so i can have a play on yours? If not i'll come to you?

[Mysticp]

Winterboard for customisable interface.
Cycorder for video recording
pdaNet for laptop-iphone tethering
xGPS will probs be the first decent gps for iphone, dont think its quite ready yet.

Dont think i use many more jailbroken apps

[-Jason-]

Im going to do mine today, what happens if it properly crashes though and you cant put it back to factory settings how do you go about repair or are you screwed, ie o2 wont cover but will apple directly

if something goes madly wrong the phone should still manage to getitself into recovery state and itunes will just reformat it and restore it to how it was.

Its harder to brick them than people make out
