Ok so if your new to jailbreaking the chances are that you won't know what the difference between a Tethered Jailbreak and a Untethered Jailbreak. Tethered jailbreaks are frustrating ! They require a computer to boot a jailbroken device.
Tethered jailbreaks has been around a long time but essentially it means that every time your iPhone or iPod or iPad reboots or the battery dies, you will have to connect (tether) your iOS device back to your computer so that the Hardware can boot with the help of the jailbreak application that you used to Jailbreak (e.g. Redsn0w).
Untethered jailbreak is the preferred jailbreak. It requires no connection to your computer except for the initial jailbreaking process. You can reboot your iPhone / iPod/ iPad as much as you want without having to tether it to your computer to boot. If the battery dies on an untethered device that it’s no big deal because you just charge it again and it will boot as usual.
