Have you Jailbroke your device? / Storys

Yeah, but it was on my 2nd gen iPod. It was on iOS 4.2.1 so everyone knows how much of a nightmare that update was for the iPhone 3G and iPod 2... So. Horribly. Laggy. I have thought of jailbreaking again since I now have the all new "iPad mini with Retina Display" which has the newest chipset, etc, (only to be replaced later this fall :P) but I would rather not mess things up. I am satisfied with how my device is now ^_^
 
I jailbroke my iPod Touch 3rd gen. No regrets lol
Now that I have an iPhone 5, it's literally my baby lol. I refuse to jailbreak it, no idea why.
 
My Iphone 4 was Jailbroken and I started having some major issues with it because I cut down the OS to the bare minimum that I could to conserve battery on it. I just found the whole jailbreaking thing to be a messy, and undesirable experience overall. I didn't like how anything looked, felt, or worked. It all just felt majorly silly to me for the 6 months I had it. Most of the time I had to reboot my phone because things would stop working, even in the middle of a call.

I ended up dropping the phone and had to reset it with a black screen to send it back to apple, because Jailbreaking was a warranty breaker at the time. My Iphone 5 (Back when I had it) I had considered jailbreaking but it was just too much of a pain when I just use regular apps anyway. Not worth the trouble. I don't have an Iphone anymore, so it's not really a big deal to me.

I did root my nook tablet with Jellybean a couple years back, and I still have that all working on it, but I don't really use the tablet much anymore since most of the things I read are just on Google Chrome. My HTC One (M8) feels more comfortable in my hands than the tablet does, but I'd like to pick it up and start using it again anyway, feels like a waste if I don't.

Edit: I forgot I did use a phoenix setup for my old PSP 1.0 so I could play some games from overseas I couldn't get here without paying an arm+leg. Bricked my PSP, so I reset it. Still bricked. Ended up turning it on two years later and it had reverted back to the custom firmware and worked again. It was just weird so I reformatted the card and replaced the original battery. The battery life on it was shot, but I just got another PSP and did a case mod on it to make myself happy. Ended up cracking the motherboard on it.

Go me.
That's odd :c sorry you had such am experience. I also have an iPhone 4. I never had any issues like this and my phone actually charges faster than my bf's unjailbroken iphone 5.
 
Nope and don't even plan to. I'd feel wrong even trying.

I've never really liked the idea of jailbreaking anything really. They're expensive, so I don't want to mess anything up or even just toy around with devices.

It gets old after a while anyway.

this plus you would feel guilty if you do it.

I have indeed jailbroken all of my iDevices at least once in my life time. I used to own an iPod Touch 4th generation, and I wanted to customize it a little more so I jailbroke it with the help of a friend. It was pretty fun to have on there for awhile, until I wanted to upgrade my version of iOS. Then I had to get rid of it. Up until this day, I haven't jailbroken my iPod Touch. That's because I realized that gets really slow afterwards, and I can't stand slow devices. Apps crashed quite a bit on it as well. I kind of can't even jailbrake it now because the screen shattered and came out of the device. Not sure how that happens but it did.

My iPad Mini was jailbroken a year ago. I got rid of it because it still made things slow. I never really learnt my lesson at the time, but I know that it makes your device slower no matter what. That's why this my iPad is currently not jailbroken.
 
I have a 1st Generation iPhone which is Jailbroken because I don't live in the US and it's locked to AT&T. My main phone isn't jailbroken though.
 
I've never jail broken anything, mainly because I've never heard of it. I'm guessing it's where you customise your device, like change the keyboard colour or something?
 
I jailbroke a 1st edition ipad I found cheap at a pawn shop. I did it primarily so I could see how XBMC Gotham 13.2 would run on it. Kind of surprised how well XBMC ran on a 4 year old device.
 
jailbroke an iphone 4 and it got weird and slow really soon after but my friend jailbroken an iphone 5S and it worked out really well. bu
 
Err, yeah. I jailbroke my iTouch, I think it was the third gen? I was honestly confused as I was doing it but it worked out. I still have it but does it even work anymore? I haven't been using it but I tried downloading some games and the links//apps don't even work so idk
