So, you have an IPhone - you make & receive calls, send / Receive text messages and emails, use GPS navigation, listen to music and videos, pictures, etc. Thats sounds like typical phone usage, but there's MORE!!!
iphones jailbreaking

If you're a moderate user then this thread is not for you, unless you have question to ask.
The need to jail break your iPhone cannot be over emphasized. It's like Unlocking the chains apple has put on your iPhone. Therefore we suggest you jailbreak your iPhone only if you're eager to experience the best out of it. This also helps those who cannot secure an apple ID.

NOTE: Jailbreaking your iPhone invalidates your apple product warranty if any exist.

Jailbreaking, applications, tips & tricks will follow in subsequent posts.
We appreciate your contributions, comments or questions etc.

The following instructions will help you jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 2G/3G/4G, iPad and Apple TV 2G using GreenPois0n.
For this jailbreak you will need ITunes, well charged iPhone, the required firmware, and greenpoison. Downloads provided below

Other methods of jailbreaking exist, using - quickpwn, redsnow etc

NOTE: If your iPhone 4 rely on an unlock, do not update to iOS 4.2.1 yet as doing so will upgrade your baseband, making it impossible for now to unlock.

Step 1: Download GreenPois0n from the link given below.

Step 2: Connect your iPhone via USB to your computer and click on “Jailbreak” as seen in the screenshot below.

Step 3: Now follow the following onscreen instructions to enter DFU mode:

Press and hold the sleep button for 2 seconds
Continue holding sleep; press and hold home for 10 seconds.
Release sleep button; continue holding home for 15 seconds.
Step 4: GreenPois0n will now start “Jailbreaking” your iOS device untethered on 4.2.1.

Step 5: Your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch should now be successfully jailbroken on iOS 4.2.1. Now start “Loader” found on the homescreen and install Cydia.

Download GreenPois0n
Direct Download Links for iOS 4.2.1

By now you have successfully set you iPhone free from apple's restrictions, this allows you to install a wide range of applications developed by individuals not associated with apple. I'm not talking about basic applications like Facebook, twitter, yahoomessengers etc - those are available on the app store.
I'll try to list a few of these advanced applications, and you can find useful only on a JailBroken Iphone.

Cydia
This is a repository of applications made for the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch. See it as an Unofficial Apple store where most applications you will find are free, cracked or commercial.
To get the best out of Cydia, navigate to sections tab in Cydia and add Bigboss, sauriks, insanelyi and other repositories.

Install0us
This is an alternative to Cydia, but not a total replacement.

All the applications mentioned here can be found on Cydia using the search.

Celeste
The iPhone and it's family allows limited Bluetooth transfers. Celeste unlocks the restricted Bluetooth by apple. With Celeste installed, you can send and receive pictures, videos, songs and other types of files to nokia, blackberry and other phones. Search Celeste on Cydia. (commercial & cracked versions available)

MyWi
As the name indicates MyWi is a wireless application with a difference. What does It do? It turns your iPhone into a Hotspot allowing you to share your GPRS, EDGE or 3G Internet with others.
Example: when I turn on MyWi on the iPhone, laptops in the house, or phones can connect to the Internet via my iphone. The connection can be made via wireless with WEP protection, Bluetooth or with the iPhone USB cable.
To get MyWi - Search "MyWi" in Cydia to download this app.
It's not a free application, but cracked versions can be found on Cydia if you have added the required repository to your sources.

140Plus for twitter
The native twitter application has a limit of 140 characters, thus Tweets longer than 140 characters cannot be sent. This disadvantage has made many people switch to other twitter clients like tweetdeck and Ubersocial.
With the 140plus tweak, your native twitter application will be able to send Tweets longer than 140 characters. - enjoy - follow @ngbuzz on twitter...
more apps to come...

By default iPhone Safari browsers have the file upload feature disabled by apple for reasons best known to them, but thanks to the Apple Hacking community of developers that problem had been solved.
Users of Jailbroken IPhone / IPad can now see the UPLOAD / BROWSE buttons activated and no longer greyed out when they install this Safari upload enabler available on Cydia.

The app is available on Cydia the Insanelyi Repository(repo.insanelyi.com) and also on Big Boss repository (JailBroken Devices only) - search "Safari Upload Enabler" - now you don't need no third party FTP clients for file uploads.
This app completes safari browser along with Safari download manager which captures download links and allows you download multiple files at the same time.
