I Jail Broke My Ipod Touch, And It Broke, Sent It To Apple Care...

[marold280]

basically, at the end of last year, i jailbroke my 8GB ipod touch.
i was fine with the voiding of the warranty, all i needed were the iphone apps which were available from the jailbreak=]
then when apple released the new firmware with the apps on, i took the jailbreak off and just used apples apps.
about three weeks ago, my ipod touch (not itouch:P) started to not connect to wifi networks, so i rang apple care, they took it off my hands and just this morning i have recieved a brand new one!
why didnt they notice that i had jailbroken it??
as it "voids your warranty"
cheers

i dont really understand why it says when you download the installer that it voids your warranty?
thanks for the reply

It's probably because Apple won't support a Jailbroken phone. If you Restore it to "stock", then it isn't Jailbroken.

Because hacking is illegal haha and Jailbreaking is considered hacking...but if you restore it wipes the slate clean:)

A little better explanation, if you walk into the apple store with a jailbroke touch (iPhysics, Poof!, etc...on the screen) they will turn you away. Once you restore back to their software image, there's no way for them to tell...

i dont think they really give a **** if you do or not, since its just software :rolleyes:

Jailbreaking isnt illegal. Installing software like Maps, Stocks, Etc... is illegal.

You jailbroke it, but when you restored it, it put it back in jail if you will.
