downgrading

Hello, It isn't possible to do this. Apple isn't signing older versions of it's firmware anylonger. You will just have to wait until the 6.1.3 - 6.1.4 jailbreak is released. I've hear that this will happen before the end of the year, so you have less than 90 days to wait. Before this happens, I anticipate that a jailbreak for IOS 7 will be released first. So, we are talking like 60 days or so. -Andrew-

Just as with apple, ford has limits on what you can legally do with a care you*own*. Apple has a reasoned approach that helps to protect their consumers, carriers and suppliers. If apple changed their policy then they would also be open to all the lawsuits that would follow because some people did things that killed their devices or caused them to blow up or otherwise be ugly. It is possible through jailbreaking to bring down a network or at least let something loose that could harm people in one way or another. Android is a technical support nightmare precisely because of the rampant untidiness of the os.

I'm mostly on Jessica's team on this one. While Apple is entitled to create the controlled environment it does, it'd be crazy to suggest that jailbreaking should not be discussed here because it's not proper and official or whatever. It's fully legal for starters. I'd go further and say that Apple secretly likes jailbreaking in some ways. Jailbreakers are actually doing free non-malicious security work for Apple, uncovering exploits in the OS which Apple then patches in later updates. Also they get some great ideas for new features that get tried out in the jailbreak community. Notification centre and control centre for example were jailbreak tweaks in various forms before they were done by Apple. Jessica, out of curiosity, what jailbreak tweaks are you missing the most?
