-The term "'''failbreak'''" mainly refers to an incomplete or otherwise flawed jailbreak that cannot run [[Mobile Substrate]] properly. Some failbreaks cannot be released to the public for various reasons, so "failbreak" is also sometimes used to refer to any jailbreak that cannot be released to the public, whether or not that jailbreak is complete. Sometimes people also call [[Scam Sites|fake jailbreaks]] "failbreaks". Since this word has multiple meanings, it's confusing to try to use it in conversation, so it's best to avoid it.
+The term "'''failbreak'''" is used to mean one or both of two things: an incomplete or otherwise flawed jailbreak that cannot run [[Cydia Substrate]] properly, or a jailbreak that cannot be released to the public for some reason (whether or not that jailbreak is complete). Some "failbreaks" are both incomplete and cannot be released to the public. Sometimes people also call [[Scam Sites|fake jailbreaks]] "failbreaks". Since this word has multiple possible meanings, it's confusing to try to use it in conversation, so it's best to avoid it.
