What is tethered jailbreak?
Many a times questions are put in as to 'What is tethered jailbreak?' Well, as you see since 'tethered jailbreak' is one of the important components related to Blackra1n RC2, lets put it in simple words. Tethered jailbreak is one of the inconvenient jailbreak iphone methods that insist the user to keep their iPhone 3GS connected to their computer during the jailbreak process. And if you want any subsequent reboots (either as a result of power loss or a manual reboot), you will require a computer to boot effectively.
So you see that the jailbreak using blackra1n RC2 is possible but it’s more of a hassle. However, the question remains, how many times do you reboot your iPhone? So, all of you who have already jailbroken your iPhone 3GS using blackra1n RC1, you know by now that there is no need to run RC2. Besides that, it’ll be great if you would rather wait for the iPhone dev team to build the tethered jailbreak iphone option into pwnagetool. News is rife that the dev team is working on it.
As for now, get ready for jailbreaking with Blackra1n RC2. And all of you who haven’t yet unlocked your iPhone log in to easyiphoneunlocking.com for hassle-free service on iphone unlocking.
