For everybody: Jailbreaking or Rooting isn't illegal, unless you do illegal stuff with it. So if you jailbreak your phone to get paid apps for free for example, then you are illegal. But since there is almost no way to get caught downloading paid apps for free, it isn't such a big deal, just like downloading music. What is illegal is if you, for example, use it to keylog, ddos, hack into wifi's.
Kamran Younis apple wouldnt void your warrany if you restore i took my iphone to the apple store qith jailbreak but they restored the iphone they didn't said nothing
Product placement, he get's paid to put it there, you notice it, you comment on it, other people read it, they notice it, they think hmm I really want some cheerios, they got out and buy it, cheerios make money. It's not very difficult now.
Without a doubt - the best reviews, instructions in the phone communitiy. You're speeking clearly, with continuity , with a lot of sense. Excellent! All the best!
Thanks Marques for another great video! One thing though, I think in iOS it's best to look up the version of iOS the phone is running before following instructions that may be outdated. This could easily sent the phone into a boot loop or worst brick the phone. Keep up the great videos!
Hi Marques, really like your videos, although I am more an advanced user I like how you explain everything so even not so tech savvy people can understand it. Keep up the good work.
This is great and informative as always especially for the average consumer that doesn't understand rooting or Jailbreaking. One thing I have noticed is that the Rooting community is more active and productive then iOS there's not as many good tweaks being made anymore.
@Shiniychi Sorry, im not quite with you... Are you saying that because Apple users are more likely to pay for apps Apple is better? Surely that just shows that they are willing to waste all of their money on their phone with no concept of what they are doing... AND ...That Apple users don't understand their phone and can't spend the first 10 mins of having it learning about the phone and personalising it to your tastes.
holy jesus you had a phone that ran 1.5!? that is beyond wild. old OLD school. yeah josh im subbed to mkb and duncan and phonedog and phonearena...all the good stuff
Lol.. as a matter of fact, I am pretty 'bright'. However, you see, you don't have to be as bright as me to not be Apple's bitch. I probably make enough to buy 20 (rough calculation) of these piece of crap phones every month and still save enough to spoil my next generation rotten. Stop getting fucked over by Apple you stupid sheep. Go Android.
Hey Awesome videos man. You make more sense technically than any other guys on any you tube channel I have seen and in the most simplistic way. U ROCK !!!! Keep going !!!
Rooting is risky but completely worth it. I started rooting because my first android phone, the HTC eris, wasn't being supported properly and I wanted new software. Ever since, I've rooted all my phones. It's really hard to mess up the root process unless you are like DeeDee from Dexter's Lab and change things you shouldn't.
Why there are less customs Roms for mediatek devices? No official cyanogen stuff over their website. Only snapdragon and nvidia devices are displayed on cyanogen website. Why is it so?
Hey Marques, I just wanted to tell you how much I njoi your videos. They are informative, sharp. and well produced. You were instrumental in the purchase of my Asus infinity pad. Keep up the good work. 1ne Love
Your videos are so informative. And you're very well-spoken. Somethings tech stuff can be boring but I always end up finishing all your videos. Concise and informative!
phew.. thank you so much! I JB my IOS but I didn't know if I also needed to root.. you cleared that up for me rather fast! I am thinking about rooting my Android tablet,any advice on what site to use? I used pangu for IOS 7.1.2 . honestly I was scared to do it, I waited 3 years afraid I'd turn my phone into a paper weight but it was so smooth,easy, and fast! no issues at all so all that fear for nothing
Sir Pandalot I have also rooted (and bricked) 2 lg lancets because I installed supersu by accident and the lancet doesn't support supers so there goes a soft bricked phone
It’s funny how he was talking about jailbreaking in this video fast forward 7-10 years later (l don’t remember the exact year) he was talking to Craig Federighi (senior Vice President at Apple) in one of his videos about apple related stuff. 😂 😂😂 Incase, you didn’t know Apple has historically always hated jailbreaking.
watching this in end of 2021 -- and to think i remember when this first came out / when you uploaded it -- to today's comparison when you have employees for yourself -- a whole massive studio -- over 10 million subscribers - known world wide - have interviewed some of the most amazing people in the world including bill gates, elon musk, kobe bryant (RIP), mark zukerburg, etc -- amazing progress -- I've seen your videos since the first one where you reviewed the laptop .. and all of this before turning 30 .. to think , what will you achieve by the time 2030 rolls around :)
I remember when I got my first smartphone. It was Huawei y-530. And I was soooo afraid of rooting it at first. But then I did it somehow and experimented with few amazing things. And then the phone got broken in just two months. I had to do the flashing again at the repair store at that time. It was really an adventure rooting a phone 😎😎
gr8 haircut bro.....was wondering when you were gonna get at that!! :-) Thanx for the video also...i am new to the whole android scene so knowing all this stuff is useful!! Keep up the good work!!
These are really high quality videos! Your voice is very clear and your explanations are excellent. Keep up the good work! I've got a question about rooting. I heard it can be quite unsafe for some devices. Is this true? I've got a Samsung galaxy S2 and I really dislike the whole Touchwiz launcher and I want to use the standard Android version like Google meant it.
Hey Marques, can you do some more explained videos on purely "enthusiast/nerdy" topics like this. I was in college when I started watching your videos and I am married now and still following your videos! Thanks and this has been great to see how you built your brand over the years.
No one cares who's better I'm sick of fanboys there are Xbox fanboys, PlayStation fanboys, pc fanboys, android fanboys, and apple fanboys all are just annoying as fuck and should keep their likings to themselves.
So your saying that apps that are meant to cost, say $1, your now going to get them for free...that's stealing from the developer, people do it but it's not legal, because what your doing you could get caught, not sure what they will do to you if you get caught. but do what ya want! Just wanted to warn you
XD i love all these people who are so illitirate when it comes to piracy. Its not stealing its getting a product for free you can techencly say he losses potential income but who cares ? Paid apps are dumb paid pc softwere sure but not smartphone apps fuck off
It's amazing coming back to videos 10 years later and seeing how much growth has happened!
yup
Who knew KBHD's old logo would become Xiomi's Logo 😂

Perspicacity of a different level 😂😂😂
First of all thank you for explaining the root thing and second awesome tower of cheerio boxes in the background!

Actually in android u can download paid apps from the internet without root and getting caught
***** yes but unfortunately ,apple would void your warranty
+Kamran Younis you can restore and you are clean doesn't void your warranty
Erik Rodriguez ur tagging failed BTW , and what do u mean
Kamran Younis apple wouldnt void your warrany if you restore i took my iphone to the apple store qith jailbreak but they restored the iphone they didn't said nothing
I've come here from 2023, still watching mkbhd videos in the future, and they're as awesome as ever. Thank you!
Don't worry, based on the videos he has, he will be a BIG hit on youtube.

Thank you marques for actually being patient enough to tell people to google things.
I know this is an old video but DO NOT EVER pay for a jailbreak.
***** I will do it for $5.99 what version is your phone
+Maddenus lol RedSn0W is so outdated
+Maddenus no RedSn0w is terrible, go untethered by TaiG jailbreaking, its like one click to jailbreak, pretty simple
I like how the original comment says never pay for jailbreak and there is someone that is asking for money. Hahaha

This is great and informative as always especially for the average consumer that doesn't understand rooting or Jailbreaking. One thing I have noticed is that the Rooting community is more active and productive then iOS there's not as many good tweaks being made anymore.
it's still helpful. brownlee looking back at your journey, it's amazing
People are most likely to jailbreak, you wanna know why? Because IOS lacks CUSTOMIZATION!
Shiniychi FuCK you Android is better than IpHonE
Atleast android gives you the option to keep it or change it. If you dont like something on ios I guess you're stuck with it forever.
@Shiniychi Sorry, im not quite with you... Are you saying that because Apple users are more likely to pay for apps Apple is better?
Surely that just shows that they are willing to waste all of their money on their phone with no concept of what they are doing... AND ...That Apple users don't understand their phone and can't spend the first 10 mins of having it learning about the phone and personalising it to your tastes.

They thought I meant fucking cause I'm Australian lol
Wanna root? ;)
Ok
Look at how far you’ve come sir. 😎
dafuq? you need to jailbreak your expensive iPhone to change a freaking wallpaper!? XD

The "Explained" Video Series is back!
thanks very much man!
It was 3 years ago...
oh yeah but i havent seen an explained video since 2 years ago
rooting in australis means to have the bedroom bouncy
Wow, don't know why but this was on my recommendation. Not even watching MKBHD at the moment, just watching today's PocketNow Daily :)
As an Australian, this is GOLD!
+Andrew B. What? Why?
'Rooting' in Australia means errrr coitus!
What, his t-shirt?
Your setup looks proper homie i like your video ive rooted my phone since october im addicted now keeping doing your thing man
Watch this video at 0.5 speed
DreamFOX I live for .5 speed MKBHD videos.
DreamFOX Ha!
How? Sounds fun
Koen Frohn Click settings, there is - next to the resolution - a setting for speed.

😘😘
Loved the rooting and jailbreaking video!! Any videos about Android would be appreciated!!!
C'mon, Aussies. Where's all the rooting jokes?
Yea I was thinking the same thing, I was laughing through this whole vid :')
And I stumbled on this video. Hmmm 🤔 All I know is you worked hard for your success. 💪🏻
WHOA A samsung Galaxy *S3*!!!!! This video is OLD!
My mom use the Galaxy S3 all the way through 2017, she just got a Pixel 2 and she loves it!
Your comment is old
@@anupamaafu7096 yourcomment is old
My comment will be old soon.
I have an S6 as an old rooted "play phone"...
The S6 is old from my perspective.
Your videos are so informative. And you're very well-spoken. Somethings tech stuff can be boring but I always end up finishing all your videos. Concise and informative!
My supervisor is from Australia, perhaps I must ask him to root my phone see what he'll say LOL!
It's 2020 and yet still one of the most helpful vids...
Let's not kid ourselves... people root/jailbreak to access cracked apps. Period.
Or get apps that can do some awsome things
Freedom = fake credit card
1 market/aptoide = free games
Hiromacro = free auto clicker for games
Chris LEA I really, really hope you've changed your views in the past 5 years.
Chris LEA agree
You don't know shit
No theming is better
This guy's voice has not changed at all
Why do you have cheerios in like every video ?
Ali Ahsan maybe he likes Cheerios?
9 years ago and still informative
phew.. thank you so much! I JB my IOS but I didn't know if I also needed to root.. you cleared that up for me rather fast!

Why are you rooting/jail breaking?
Also kingroot is a good rooter. (Not "Kingo" root, kingroot)
Bring the heat y'all MKBHD brings the 🔥

I subscribed for the explained series! Don't stop.
Nice TV on the wall in the next room. What TV is it? What's your favourite TV brand and why?I thought I would ask since you like pixels
mkbhd, you've changed much
Bro's doesn't even change according to his age 💀
Oh and btw your videos are the best tech on UA-cam keep up the awesome work!!
Why did you jail break your device ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I wanted to add a custom wallpaper
Dude he was using an old version of iOS as an example
+Arnav Surve i know just said what the customers used as excuses
+Shaundre Smal oh ok :)
droid does
Wow, you have come a long way. Kudos
the ONLY reason im rooting my LG Lancet is so i can get the preview of F.lux which requires root permissions
+corey pilgram Totally worth it though, F.lux is a life saver!
Sir Pandalot I have also rooted (and bricked) 2 lg lancets because I installed supersu by accident and the lancet doesn't support supers so there goes a soft bricked phone

You have the best intro in the history of youtube!!!!!
A viewer from 2022
Very well explained, thanks. I have a Galaxy SII that is finished with the 2yr AT&T contract so I may give it a shot and see if I can root it.
I bet I can guess what your favorite cereal is!

Thanks for giving links to the awesome wallpapers in the videos! :D

Love that chanel!
I wish i could be this easy to understand when i try to explain people what is rooting / jailbreaking...
anybody know what kind of monitors he is using?
Old mac ones probably
Oh Lord I just saw a vid of you from 2009! What a difference!!

Issue: Malware and Trojans. Ehh...
why are even on the internet?
Mikey Why am I on the internet?*** I know how to handle it. You don't know if you'll come across an app on Cydia that can steal your information.
ToonyCraft true! but i thought you meant you get malware and trojans on android. cuz android get virus even without root

Great explanation! I have rooted all my Android phones and Jailbroken a few iPhones and iPads. I love to customize - and that's the way to do it.

You should do a video on custom roms if you havent already. Great video BTW.
