Watch an IOS jailbreak done properly


How do you jailbreak IOS devices like your iPhone or iPad? Fed up with the useless Android applications installed on your Samsung Galaxy phone but cannot be removed? Well, you need to root your Android phone to remove it. What if you want to try the latest Android OS but your phone's manufacturer does not want to support the latest version?
The TWiT.TV network's new show, Know How, helps users perform various tasks that seem difficult at first but it is actually easy. Ayaz Akhtar and Leo Laporte each week choose a task that at first seems a little complicated. But armed with some reference and information easily available on-line, they demonstrate how to do it right live on-screen.



This time around they show an easy way to jailbreak an IOS device with Ayaz's iPod Touch. After that, they root Leo's Kindle Fire. Both methods provide the owner with more functionality than the original device settings. For example, iPad and iPhones that have been jailbroken can use third-party apps. This may seem strange at first but there are other app markets for IOS devices other than iTunes. Also, this is the only way you can run a custom app that has not been vetted by Apple. An Android device that has been rooted will be able to do things that wasn't possible before, like delete apps that were previously not erasable. With more effort, and provided you can find the right ROM that supports your device, you can try out the latest version of Android.

The live demonstration gives confidence for someone to try it out themselves. It is alive demonstration although they admit that they had completed units standing by. But everything worked okay live. Listen carefully to the information provided and ensure the version of the tool you are using to jailbreak or root the device is correct.
The format of the live program seems to produce a less formal atmosphere. Don't be surprised if you feel a bit anxious to see what happens when the hosts start feeling that their efforts may not succeed. Actually, it just requires some patience. Ayaz acts as the main host and the technical expert, while Leo puts out questions commonly asked by user in that situation. At the end of the show, Leo goes through the main points and repeat important information. If you need further explanation, visit this episode for more information and links.
