ARE YOU JAILBREAKABLE?

FIND OUT HERE.

NOTE: The jailbreak methods listed are not the only options available per
device. I have included what I find to be the most stable and
effective/efficient methods for each device that is also most convenient for
users who are not with official carriers. If you find that the method I listed
does not work well for you, feel free to PM me for alternative options.
**Regarding unlocking iPhones (except 2G): unlocks are only valid if you HAVE NOT
EVER upgraded to 4.1. You cannot unlock if you were ever on 4.1, unless you preserved
your baseband at 5.13.04 and below.**

NOTE REGARDING NEW UNLOCK FOR 3G/3GS: be aware that you should not update
the baseband to the iPad baseband unless you absolutely have to (meaning you have
the currently NOT unlockable basebands such as 5.14.02 and 5.15.xx). If you can
preserve your baseband, by all means use PwnageTool method to preserve the
baseband (so long as you find the custom firmware that does NOT include the baseband
upgrade). If you are already stuck at those basebands, and you are sure you ready to
void any warranty that may be left for your device, then upgrading to 6.15.00 is your
only option. Do so at your own risk, there have been reported GPS issues as well as
restoring issues that get you stuck in recovery mode.
