-   iOS JAILBROKEN   -
Jailbreak

I hope this iOS section saves you hours, if not days, by compiling it. Being a brand new iOS user I started this as my notes to refer back to if and when I needed to restore my device.

I used an evasi0n jailbroken iPad mini iOS7.0.4, Retina Wi-Fi on WinXP, Win7 and MacOSX. Most of the steps and software used will be the same for a MacOSX but most test were carried out on Windows.

This is dedicated to two very good friends who were far too generous to gift me with an iPad (aren't I spoiled :D ). Luv you both and thank you again!

P.S. I have changed the format of the pages in this section trying to be a more mobile friendly.

SOME TERMINOLOGY USED IN THE iOS SECTION:
`````````````````````````````````````````
App / apps = Short for application / software
Device = The iOS device i.e. iPad, iPhone, etc
Dock = The dock is at the bottom of the screen (a toolbar in Win)
GUI / UI = Graphical User Interface / User Interface
Home button = The round button on the front screen
