[QUOTE="Weiser878, post: 1159128, member: 180278"] It may say its under warranty, but if Apple sees that its jailbroken they will void it. As for telling about the apps...I'm taking it by your sentence that mentions "legit" versions that you are under the impression that jailbreaking is used to pirate apps. That is not the case for the vast majority of users. Use spotlight search and look for an App called Installous. If its not on the phone, then you most likely do not have any pirated apps. (You'll probably want to delete all that stuff anyway since you won't know the iTunes password associated with them and won't be able to update them) Now, for the jailbreak stuff, there is an app called Cydia this is the jailbreak app store. If you don't have Cydia, the phone isn't jailbroken. When it loads, the tabs at the bottom will have an option for manage. Pick packages and you'll be able to see everything that Cydia installed on the phone. I'd advise you not to delete anything until you fully understand it all, since you can make the phone unusable if you delete the wrong thing. (While you're there, look for a package called Yellowsn0w, if its on the phone, then its unlocked via jailbreak and not factory unlocked) [/QUOTE]
