According to MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev-Team, the just-released iOS 5 beta 2 can be Jailbroken using the same redsn0w tools used to jailbreak the first beta. Guide and download links are below.

As we await the launch of iOS 5, jailbreak developer Filippo Bigarella provides us with a taste of the goodies we’ll be getting our hands on this fall. CameraLock — a great tweak that introduces a camera button to your lock screen.
The button introduced by CameraLock is customizable, so you can modify its functionality to suit you. You can launch a third-party app instead of the built-in camera.
How to install?
- In Cydia -> Add source: http://filippobiga.me/repo/
- Search for CameraLock and push install
- Its free
If you installed iOS 5 beta 1 on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, It’s good to know that beta 1 has a time-bomb and is going to expire on August 4th.
This won’t be an issue for developers or those with proper access to the newest beta releases from iOS Dev Center as they can upgrade to the newest betas as they become available from Apple. This leaves those who had a friend activate their UDID or who used the VoiceOver tweak to run iOS 5 on an iPhone without a dev account – this could very well effect you. If you are running the beta without a dev account, I suggest downgrading from iOS 5 beta before this becomes a potential problem, you don’t want to be stuck with a useless iPhone on August 5th.
The expiration date was discovered and tweeted by jailbreak developer @ih8sn0w:
iOS 5 official release is slated for this Fall
iPhone developer @ih8sn0w has just released an updated version of Sn0wbreeze 2.8 for iOS 5 beta 1 jailbreak. This new version of Sn0wbreeze adds support for untethered iOS 5 jailbreak on iPhone 3GS, old bootrom.
You can follow our detailed guide posted here. iOS 5 is currently in Beta and available to registered developers only or registered devices. Apple will launch final version of iOS 5 to public this Fall.
