Frequently Asked Questions:

Check out the answers to some of the common questions

Is Jailbreaking Legal?

Yes. It was made exempt from the DMCA copyright laws in 2012 but Apple doesn’t agree and will still void your warranty. If you need your device repaired, just remove the jailbreak using Cydia Eraser and reinstall it later.

Is It Free?

Yes, but it comes as part of a jailbreak package, also free. You may find some tweaks that are not free but most are. It is also safe provided you use only the official links to download your jailbreak.
