It is a violation of the software license agreement, so it is a contract violation.
It is not a criminal offense.
It does render the warranty void.

i've jail break Iphone 3GS. i tried to restore setting (erasing all data and media) without connecting to computer/itunes. When it starts it freezes by showing apple logo only. what is the solution. please help me out. Here i don't have iphone service center too.
Although not illegal, Apple discourages a user from modifying the iPhone OS in any manner, including "jailbreaking". Apple feels so strongly about this that discussing methods to assist a user trying to either jailbreak or "unjailbreak" an iPhone are prohibited.

The rules of this forum forbid anyone from discussing jailbreaking. No one can help you here.

Using Australian Telstra iphone in United Kingdom
I have an iphone 4 on the Telstra network and will be visiting the UK in a couple of months.
I was going to get a Roaming plan from Telstra for $29 giving me 10mb of data but was wondering if I get my phone unlocked can I get an iphone pay as you go sim from somewhere in the uk that will include data and calls made within the UK.
CheersI have been given a iphone 3gs 16 as gift from relative , it is brand new and never used, but was purchased thru Vodafone PAYG which are supposed to come unlocked, believing it would work in Australia as it was Vodafone. I am unable to use my phone in Australia, get message server/carrier sim not recognised or something like that. I have been to Vodafone in Australia they can't help me, have sent several messages to customer services at Vodafone UK - and received not reply to get their assistance.
I need this phone unlocked and international calls unlocked too do not want international roaming - with those fees. Any assistance - have been dealing with this drama on daily basis now for 3 weeks and still no resolve. Tks in advance. -
I have 3rd party software wirelessly injected and used on my iphone with a cryptographic authentication system without my consent (seems to be new technology developed by stanford and apple security is not updated for this technology) obtaining ownership of my iPhone 4s software and controlling it with remote device to jail breaking my phone, adding and removing software, changing settings all from a remotely controled device from different location (I have a Mac address I'd of this device to know for sure). Almost undetectable. When I look at the legal section of my phone it shows a list of all the unauthorized 3rd party software "as is" copyright encrypted on the phone. This is the most basic way to legally steal software of any kind. Because of this legalality 3rd party ownership have total control of certain software correlated with hardware use including visualization technology, etc. most people luckily will never have this happen to them so it's unlikely many readers have not a clue of what I'm saying currently. Either way, without needing to obtain specific warranty of any kind "as is" copyright control makes system restores not a solution because the source code is not directly encrypted on the actual hardware device only a copy right notice must appear on the specific device 3rd party software validation making it extremely difficult for me to take control of the situation. Apple claims their iOS technology prevents this type copyright obstruction from being possible, however, according to my phone a new form of technology was used developed by Tom wu of Stanford university called the STANFORD SRP AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY which uses Some form of cryptographic authentication system and uses quote "secure remote password" which seems to suceed in hacking iOS apple technology apple claims is not possible to jailbreak an unstolen phone or without the owners consent As well as loading the device with 3rd party copyright Notices to make all of this legalized. My phone shows atleast 30 pages worth of legalized 3rd party copyright permissions! Yesterday my apple care provider labeled me a jailbreaker and refused to look at my legal documented proof which completely blew my mind because it voides my apple care contract I spent 100 on. This employee did not take all factors into consideration and made quick assumptions as well as verbally speaking to me as I'm an automatic criminal. I left the store yesterday with no payed insurance help on a problem I had no control over and couldn't prevent, leaving with voided contracts. This is an apple users worst nightmare and I have spent days researching all of this like i am some kind of lawyer only to be able to use my phone the way it should and spent alot of money on. I can legally backup any claim I have just wrote above currently and have a large source of data collected to prove apple is wrong in voiding insurance support on this issue. The problem lies in apple avoiding and not wanting to believe their software can legally be obtained ot "hacked". Yet still labeled a jailbreaker basically.. What should I do????? Been to local apple store 3 times and rebooted my phone as well sprint service restore 4 times and spoke with reps twiice on the phone. Spoke with my phone provider who said apple has full control over these matters so they can't help me. My case is according to apple "still open"...Anyone else heard of this or of Stanford's office of technology licensing? Maybe I need to buy a blackberry again or just use a landline so I can stop being my own lawyer and focus on other productive areas in life instead of this horrible mess. I shouldn't have to prove to apple I not a jailbreaker they should have to prove I'm one before voiding support I desperately need!!

I assume u guys don't understand what open source software is
Yes, I think most of us do understand what open source software is. It sounds as if you don't. Here's some information:
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved forcopyright holders are provided under an open-source license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software.
Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-sourcedevelopment and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements.
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_software
Yes, Tom Wu of Stanford wrote a paper on something called Secure Remote Access Protocol. It's a form of Asymetric Key Exchange and has nothing to do with hacking anything. It's actually intended to protect data. -

Are there any apps that install animated lock screens without jail breaking my iPhone 5?
Are there any apps that can install animated lock screens without jail breaking the iPhone 5?
I don't know of any way, except perhaps by using an animated GIF or PNG as your wallpaper. I've never tried it, though.
I don't recommend jailbreaking your phone, voiding your warranty, and risking ruining the phone just for this feature, however - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743 -
I have updated my IPhone 4s to ios6, but for some reason it didn't install Siri with the update, is there any way I can install it onto my IPhone without jail breaking the phone?

It cannot be installed. It comes pre-installed on every iPhone 4S and later. Maybe it was disabled under Settings > General > Restrictions.

Wasn't SIRI one of the gee-wiz doodads introduced with iOS 6? Cause my boss' 4s w/iOS 5 certainly does NOT have it. And on my i5, the Spanish-speaking SIRI I got turned out female, with all the foibles and vicissitudes....
iOS 6 only added support for the 3rd generation iPad. It was always on the iPhone 4S. Then the same goes for your boss: Maybe disabled in restrictions, or maybe actually an iPhone 4. -
I am currently using a Iphone 4.I have been trying for countless times to restore my phone but error 16 keeps on popping up.This happened after i updated to the latest IOS.Does anyone have any solutions other than jail-breaking.I have never jailbreaked.I am deperate to restore my phone...Please help!!!!
Most likely a hardware failure, & if so, you won't be able to restore/activte your phone. If you've tried at least two times, & are still getting this error, make an appointment at any Apple store, or call AppleCare.

Does that iphone have the ablility to override the silent mode without jail breaking it??
In a corporate enviroment, we need to be able to setup some contacts (emergencies, 911, medical response, security response, etc.) that would override the silent mode to notify the user(s) of a response needed. I've been looking for apps and no one seems to be able to do this without jail breaking the phone. Our corporate policy says we can NOT jail break the phone. Is this Not allowed in the IOS?
Thanks

Bought my iPhone 4 from Dubai even though it's a factory unlocked phone I don't have a FaceTime button in setting so I'm wondering is there anyway I can get the FaceTime with out jail breaking my device it's working on iOS 4.3.5 , I read so much about getting it after u jailbreak Ur phone u get FaceTime but can I get it with out jail breaking my device as I'm using it in india please reply guys
iPhones purchased in the UAE do not have FaceTime installed and FaceTime will not appear regardless of where the phone is taken.
Jailbreaking will void your warranty with Apple, may permanently render your phone unusuable, and will eliminate the possibility of getting help from Apple or its forums including this one.
If you want FaceTime on an iPhone, sell that phone and purchase one from one of the authorized iPhone dealers in India. -
Jail-broken iPhone 4S won't come out of recovery mode after attempted ios 7 update
So I've had my jail-broken iPhone for a while and decided to go for the ios 7. After deleting 200 songs, 400 pictures & videos, and countless apps and other useless data to get the necessary free space to upgrade, I was finally able to download it. It went into recovery mode (showed the iTunes logo and the USB cord) shortly afterward. I plugged in my iPhone to my laptop, iTunes came up, but as I tried to restore the phone to upgrade to the ios 7, an error appeared saying the "iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporary unavailable". I've tried a LOT of stuff, from simply restarting my laptop to trying DFU mode like 200 times, and it keeps saying the same thing. Now I'm basically phoneless because it won't come out of recovery mode.
Does this have anything to do with it being jailbroken and not backed up prior to attempting to upgrade? Please help!Yes, it is directly related to j'breaking it. And as such, you will get no further support from Apple and we cannot help you either. Use an internet search to try to find a solution elsewhere.

I have an IPhone 4. Heaps of apps are larger than apples restricted download limit. I made the mistake of upgrading an app, needing to delete it and trying to reinstall only to find that I have to connect to wifi. I don't have the luxury of wifi. I paid for the app so I'm furious. I'm not too keen on jail breaking. Any one have ideas to work around this..... Why is there a restriction?
Yes that's right - not everyone does, why do you (and obviously apple) assume so? I'm trying not to say anything as condescending as you have but it's getting difficult.
There doesn't seem to be any logical reason for this limit. I'm paying for the data I use so why does apple have a say in what apps I can download. It's a load of b****.
So thanks for stating the obvious. I know I'm not the only loyal iPhone user to have this problem so hopefully someone clever at apple will pay attention and make some changes soon. -
Has anyone ever heard of jail breaker?
my 15 tear old son came to me and wants to download this thing called jail breaker. I have a 3.1.3 iphone and he has an 3.1.3 itouch.
Tamara, it sounds like the OP doesn't know what jailbreak is. Your answer is a good one, but to be clear "jail breaking" a phone means installing unauthorized software on the phone so it can run software not approved by Apple and possibly be used on a network other than the approved network in your country.
As Tamara said, doing it voids the warranty on the phone, and is considered illegal by Apple. Whether a court would agree has never been tested. But it also exposes you to malware and puts you at the mercy of the software providers who supply programs to run on jailbroken phones.
I hope you make the right decision, given all the facts.
