G1lbertJB is a jailbreak tool made by the San Antonio Detective Unit. It’s designed for older Apple devices running iOS 5.0 to iOS 6.1.2. These include:

  • iPad 2 and original iPad
  • iPod touch 3rd and 4th generation

If your device is on a newer iOS version, you may need to downgrade it first to use this tool.

Even though not many people still use devices like the iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4S, if you have one, this tool gives it new life.
Jailbreaking lets you:

  • Install tweaks
  • Customize your device
  • Access features Apple normally restricts

g1lbertJB was the first public jailbreak for iPhone 4S on iOS 5.1, and the first untethered jailbreak for iOS 5, meaning your jailbreak stays even after restarting the device.
