• iOS 5 Tethered Jailbreak Using Redsn0w 0.9.8 Guide


    Redsn0w updated to bring tethered jailbreak for iOS 5 on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4G, iPod touch 3G and iPad. No Jailbreak for iPad 2 yet.

    A step by step guide on how to jailbreak iOS 5 beta tethered using Redsn0w 0.9.8 (Mac & Win)

    Notes:

    1. If you rely on ultrasn0w unlock don’t use Redsn0w and don’t try iOS 5 at all.
    2. You must have a developer account with Apple or you have your UDID registered by a developer account. More details here.

    Step 1: Download iOS 5 for iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (download links at the end).

    Step 2: Restore to iOS 5 in case you haven’t yet using the IPSW file you just downloaded via iTunes 10.5 Beta.

    Step 3: Start Redsn0w and point it to the official iOS 5 firmware file.

    Step 4: Now select “Install Cydia” and click “Next”. Optionally (if available), you can also select any other option you like.

    Step 5: Now make sure your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to the computer before you click “Next”.

    Now you will be guided on how to enter DFU mode. Quickly hold “Power” button and then while holding the “Power” button, you will now have to hold “Home” button too. Now after few seconds release “Power” button but keep holding “Home” button until installation begins.

    Step 6: Wait until you get tethered iOS 5 jailbroken in few minutes.

  • iOS 4.3.3 Untethered Jailbreak Using Greenpois0n, iPad 2 Jailbreak Latest Updates


    Chronic Dev Team has issued an update regarding 4.3.3 Jailbreak status. The upcoming Greenpois0n RC6.2 will be capable of jailbreaking iOS 4.3.3 on iPhone iPad and iPod Touch. iPad 2 jailbreak status is not quite clear as they are no details and no ETA yet. Joshua Hill aka posixninja is currently working on it:

    As I’m sure many people have heard, Josh (posixninja) has recently been quoted saying the iPad 2 jailbreak is coming in “weeks”, I know I have been very publicly abrasive and non-commital on giving any kind of timeframe or comment on this matter, but at the behest of Josh (in conjunction with his need for a swift kick to the ass for motivation) we’re ALL going to hold him to that!!! I’m not going to get into extensive detail about this, but what I will say one of the missing puzzle pieces may have reared its head and cast a glance in our direction… take from that what you will.

    Greenpois0n RC 6.2 is coming soon to jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 untethered for iPhone, iPad  and iPod Touch.

    In the past I have also said that 4.3.x support was on hold for greenpois0n to focus on iPad 2 jailbreak exclusively, our course has slightly changed (primary focus has never shifted from iPad 2 since it was released) it has now become possible to easily update and execute a workflow to enable RC6.2 (tentatively speaking… mmm #dirt) to be released “soon”…

    Greenpois0n RC 6.2 will be a simpler one to use comparatively. Still you can jailbreak iOS 4.3.x with the already present tools which you can find below.
