Jail-breaking iOS 5.01

Jay794 · 10 Dec 2011 at 11:24

Like I said above, the Dev's have never ever given official release dates, only cryptic clues through Twitter. I believe it will be released before Christmas, but there's no guarantee

To be honest 5.1 is round the corner. Wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't until that is released by the chance the same exploit works for that. It'll be a big required update people would rather have jb for.

I had an email today for an Apple forum I'm subscribed to, it said that the Devs will be waiting till 5.1 but bare in mind, it's just a rumour site

Rumors have been constantly popping up that the ios 5 jailbreak is coming soon, and "expect an announcement soon". I'll believe it when one comes out.

if you use a teathered jail break. and then your phone turns off. what happens. i understand you lose your jailbreak. but does your phone just revert to how it was before ? or do you have to restore it.

Yes, but at this moment in time no.

Nor is there is an untether for any iDevice on 5.0 (or 5.0.1)
as i said, yes there is

It's not a case of testing it, he has to actually make it work first lol by running different code etc... the exploit used in 4.3.3 and 5.0 was closed in 5.0.1 so they need to find a new way of implimenting and executing the code, then test it for bugs like crashing/reboots etc...

I'd expect an untether to be released before Christmas, but maybe not for 5.0.1.
yes 5.0.1 too

The iPhone Devs released a previous jailbreak around Christmas time last year and they typically release jailbreaks on sundays, which they call fun-days

if you turn it off / battery runs flat, you have to use the boot teathered option within redsnow.

its very simple and no hassle at all

you will not loose the jb

Aren't all iOS 5 jailbreaks tethered still?

AFAIK they are, which is why I'm still on 4.3.3

I really don't get the issue with using the tethered jailbreak. It works perfectly on both 5.0 & 5.0.1 and theres even a tweak called "semi tether" which will allow the phone to boot up if it is switched off. You wont be able to access Cydia or any other JB related data but can still make calls and send/recieve texts until you can get home to boot from RedSn0w.

The whole tethered/untethered thing is a non-issue IMO.

PaulyD · 14 Dec 2011 at 08:27

I kind of agree. I always have my macbook with me so the one time I needed to do a tethered boot it was simple enough to do - that was in the times before semi tether being availiable as well.

Just patiently waiting on the 4S jailbreak..

Unfortunately, I can't see this coming out any time soon. All the untethered JB development is being done on the IP4. Im in the same boat as you with my iPad 2 however
