Ok so one of my friends said thatvapple sends out updates to brick jailbroke phone... Is this true, if they did that, what would happen to my phone, and is there anyway to fix it?

No.

If anything, he may be talking about updates that upgrade the baseband which blocks out unlocking.

In that case, just dont upgrade, but it doesnt brick the phone.

yeah i figured, but i wanted to double check. AT&T and apple doesnt care if your phone is jailbroken, they just dont want you getting a phone and bailing on the two year contract.

They don't but if something happens, you'll have to restore it in order to get it fixed. Even if you don't, their policy is to wipe it with a clean, latest firmware.

Apple had done something like this back in the 1.X days where the ipod would have to be put in DFU mode and restored if you tried to update from a jailbroken firmware.
They got sued big time and idt you have to worry about it anymore.

Idk I'm really not that educated on the topic it happened before I got into iPod touches. I'm not even 100% sure if it's true but that's what I've heard I wanna say it was 1.1.3 to 1.1.4.
