"Huge Jailbreak News" - IOS 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak Released
The iPhone Developer Team and Chronic Developer Team have just announced today that the long awaited Untethered Jailbreak for IOS 5 has been released.
Thanks to the efforts of IOS Hacker "pod2g", his exploit managed to bring the Untethered Jailbreak to the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G & iPad 1 running on IOS version 5.0.1. pod2g is working hard to bring it to the iPad2 & iPhone 4S. So people with these devices have to wait a little bit longer. But don't worry, I don't think it will take him too long since he has already managed to bring the Jailbreak partially to those devices.
The iPhone and Chronic Developer Team released Three methods to install the Untethered Jailbreak on your IOS Device.
The first method is for IOS users who don't have their devices running with the Tethered Jailbreak of IOS version 5.0.1 or don't have their device Jailbroken at all. This method is the one that Jailbreakers normally use. This method is done by using the new version of "RedSnow" released by the iPhone Developer team to support the 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak. You can follow the complete guide on how to Jailbreak you iPhone 3GS & iPhone 4 here. For iPod Touch 3G & 4G follow the guide here. For iPad 1 follow the guide here.
The second method is for IOS users who wan't to preserve their baseband in case they wan't to unlock their iPhone using "Ultrasn0w". If that's the case, you can follow the guide here.
The third method is the easiest one. But this is meant for IOS users who currently run the IOS 5.0.1 Tethered Jailbreak on their IOS Devices. This method was released by the Chronic Developer Team and is a Cydia installation that goes by the name of "Corona Untether". This installation converts your Tethered Jailbreak into the Untethered one. If this is your case then follow the guide here.
So if you wan't to Jailbreak your IOS Device, now is the perfect time to do it. So get your computer out and start Jailbreaking. And also thank, and if you can, donate to IOS Hacker "pod2G" for his efforts. We appreciate all his hard work.
In case you didn't understand a lot of things mentioned above, I don't blame you. A lot of this things are a bit technical. But don't worry, I got you covered. Read my post about how you can learn the basic things to know about the IOS Jailbreaking World here.
Chris Maymi's Opinions
I made this Jailbreak for my iPhone 4 and I have to say that pod2g really made a great job and that's something we all have to congratulate. If I had the money, I would've donated $100 bucks or even more to him for all his efforts. Unfortunately thats not the case :(
But seriously, I completely recommend this Jailbreak, it works amazingly great. This is something a lot of people, including me, where waiting since last month when he announced the Untethered Jailbreak. There has never been a better time to do the Jailbreak than now. So grab your IOS Device and get Jailbreaking.
