Ziphone a good Jailbreak?

[stpamamos]

I have had an iPhone since last summer and have just discovered Ziphone. I was always weary of Jailbreaking my iPhone, especially after my first iPhone had a fatal error within 24 hours and had to be swapped out for a new one. Luckily I had not mesesd with anything I shouldn't have been and warranty covered it. So, I am still a little weary about this, but I want to put apps on my iPhone already! Plus, Cnet recommended Ziphone.
I do have a few questions(reason I posted)
1. How safe is Ziphone?
2. How will updates from Apple work?
3. Where do I find Apps after jailbreaking with Ziphone.


*unrelated topic: I have tried a few DVD ripping programs so that I can put my movies on my iPhone without being ripped off and buying the same movie on iTunes. However, each time I have tried this the audio will eventually be out of sync with the video. Any ideas why? I have a PC so what is some good software that will do this well? Any suggestions will be great.

Thanks for reading my post.

With the ZiPhone zibri said that not one phone has been bricked by using it. 2. you will probably have to restore it before the next update just to be safe 3. You will find the apps in the installer app. that is what jailbreaking does, add that icon. I jailbroke my phone with ziphone 4 days ago and it was very easy and quick. good luck

Chris, I was scared to JB my iphone and after having it since last May I figured why not.
If you think your phone is good wait until you JB it.
Many topics related to what you asked, search the forums.

I used ZiPhone on mine and have to say its Z best.

Really dont worry though cause it is so simple now. the first time i jailbroke my phone on 1.1.1 it took around two hours now on 1.1.4 it took 20 mins to restore and 2 mins to jailbreak

It's safe. I have jailbroken many iPhones with it and have yet come across an issue that a quick restore with iTunes couldn't handle.

1, Backup contacts and calender to Outlook.
2, Restore with iTunes to "New" phone.
3, Stop it from syncing when done restoring.
4, ZiPhone: select "Jailbreak". "Jailbreak & Activate" could not connect to YouTube for me. Just select the "Jailbreak" option.
6, Sync back to iTunes (Contact & Calender) if you want now.
5, Hard part is done, start exploring Installer and sources available.
6, Enjoy!

It is important to keep in mind though, some people experience some issues (youtube not working). Like Maverick said, if you ever have a serious problem where lets say a pixel on the screen isn't working, you can restore your phone to factory settings and still bring it back into apple to get it switched with ease. As far as the little errors some people have experienced...there are threads on the forum explaining what to do, but they essentially deal with a "fix" you can download easily from within installer. There is nothing to be concerned about, enough people have done it that every concern or problem has been addressed
