I got a curiosity question; has anyone ever jailbroken, then unjailbroken their device and then turn it in to Apple under their warranty with or without a problem? Basically, I want to know is if Apple ever found out.

If you perform a DFU restore, it's as if you're starting on a 100% clean slate. (In other words, there won't be a trace of the jailbreak for Apple to find.

) Of course, DFU restores can't take care of funny baseband versions on iPhones though...

Well sort of.
I was at the apple store in Westfield, London and there a guy there with a clearly jailbroken ipad. When he got to the "Genius Bar" he merely told the guy there that he had received it as a gift and the person he had gotten it from did the jailbreak and not him (basically he acted like he didn't know what it was). Anyways They determined that his problem was hardware based and gave him a replacement device free of charge.

Note: Both Cydia and [Redacted] were clearly visible on the springboard. However no Cydia Tweaks were visible.
Note2: I was sitting right next to the guy getting my replacement itouch 3g

I have just jailbroken my iPhone 4 which is 4.2.1 I am worried because when rebooting (apple logo) there is a circular loading thingy that appears and it gets stuck there. I would like to add that I had not activated my iPhone 4 before jailbreaking it (I did not insert a sim card yet ), it still had the "connect to iTunes" logo. I would like to get help on what I am supposed to do now that its been approx 20mins and the iPhone did not boot, please. Forgot to mention I used redsn0w

You just need to perform a tethered boot with redsn0w. Follow the same steps you used to jailbreak, but check the "Just boot tethered right now" box.

thank you very much for replying, now the only problem I have before being able to try to boot tethered is being able to have it OFF when plugged into my PC, because it is stuck on the apple logo

The same steps apply: Hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds, then release the power button and keep holding the home button until your computer recognizes your iPhone. Then boot tethered.
You have to do this every time you turn your iPhone off completely; it is a consequence of being tethered.

Seems like a big thing to be missing to me. I kinda like to know when my iPod is connected to the internet.

I've updated the guide to make it easier to navigate. There's a right arrow pointing to jailbreak solutions that work with the latest devices on the latest firmware.

Did you save you SHSH blobs for iOS 4.1?

Your music won't get deleted since iTunes makes a backup of it.

I would get anal about it too, but it seems kind of unrelated...

NOTE: There is NO such thing as an "8 GB iPod touch 3G." It is an iPod touch 2G with a newer bootrom.
