However though, as stated in Apple's User Agreement, Jailbreaking an iDevice voids the warranty. So if you are taking your iPhone or any other iDevice in for maintenance and you have jailbroke it, It would be in your best interest to do a clean restore before the Apple people inspect it.

Q: What is Jailbreaking?

A: iOS Jailbreaking, or simply jailbreaking, is the process of removing the limitations imposed by "Apple" on devices running the iOS Operating System through use of custom kernels. Such devices include the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. Jailbreaking allows users to gain root access to the operating system, allowing iOS users to download additional applications, extensions, and themes that are unavailable through the official Apple App Store. A jailbroken iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad running iOS can still use the App Store, iTunes, and other normal functions, such as making telephone calls. Jailbreaking is a form of privilege escalation, and the term has been applied to privilege escalation on other computer systems as well.

Here I'm going to layout the difference of, and what you shoot for, Tethered or Untethered Jailbreak

Untethered - An untethered jailbreak is a type of jailbreak where your device does not require you to reboot with a connection to an external device capable of executing commands on the device.

Tethered - Tethered means being basically "attached" to your computer in a way; you must boot your device by running code on it (via the dock connector) to make use of an exploit.

Semi Tethered - In some circumstances, a tethered jailbreak can be made "semi-tethered." When a device is "semi-tethered," it can run most applications properly. However, some parts will refuse to operate as expected.
