Is jailbreaking an iPod touch safe?
-
I've been thinking about jailbreaking my iPod touch. But I really don't know if it's safe or not. Is it easy? What should I watch out for (like do's and dont's)? I'm using an iPod touch 4th gen 64gb running iOS 5.0.1 if that matters.

Answer:
I think jail breaking is very fun, and it opens up many customizable options for your iPod. But, you must follow the directions exactly how it says, or you can mess up your iPod beyond usage, and Apple WILL NOT fix it. Don't mean to scare you by saying that, but the instructions are very very simple so you will not mess them unless you do intentionally (DON'T)! I would go ahead and do it, because you sound like you have some knowledge, and it is very easy to do. Good Luck!

Make sure you choose the right jailbreak and install it exactly as it says. I recommend redsn0w.' If you break your ipod during or after the jaibreak, apple won't fix it because jailbreaking voids your warranty.

its safe you cannot mess up your ipod. i jailbreak my ipod and iphone. if there was nosuch thing as jailbraking i would not even buy the ipod or iphone. it makes it 100 times better
To be onest no I don't think it safe because I know you or whom ever paid like almost 300 dollars or it to be a 64 gb and yeah it easy to just hook to computer and hold down two button but it gone be hard cause if you update the iOS you goin to new up the jailbreak and everything there's been many question about updating iOS and having jailbreak on it it will Mess it up! Second if you got a warranty on that pretty device you malawell say good bye to it cause we can't help you once you jailbroken it and we can't do anything about it . And if I were you I wouldn't do it it not safe but you could read up on how to do it but there's no point f jailbreaking it cause you can text and call on it . Tht use to be excuse for jailbreaking it but now we can text and call on it but the call may last up to two min each call on wifi but it's up to you. Just don't disappoint whom ever paid for that. Cause you've probably had that thing Iover 6 months and nobody might not buy it back from you . To get another one

I always say to only jailbreak if you know what you're doing. I have the same exact device and I jailbroke using redsn0w awhile ago. You should definitely do some research like I did to find out more about it. It does make everything better, only if you know what you're doing and do it correctly. The only dangers are doing it wrong, downloading viruses, and breaking the device, but just be careful and that shouldn't happen.

it is very safe but If you break your ipod during or after the jaibreak, apple won't fix it because jailbreaking voids your warranty.
