Happy Holidays!

Whats better for a holiday gift,other then the iOS 5 untethered jailbreak?

Yes, the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 is finally out!

However, there is no iPhone 4s and iPad 2 support, YET. @pod2g is looking into ways to extend the jailbreak to iPhone 4S and iPad 2 owners.

Quoted from Dev-team blog:

Here are the basic steps for how to get it:

• The untether is for iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad1, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G
• If you have one of those devices and are not on 5.0.1 yet, update now!  The SHSH window is still open for 5.0.1  If you unlock via ultrasn0w or gevey, make sure you only get to 5.0.1 via a custom IPSW! Once you’re at 5.0.1, use the latest redsn0w 0.9.10 to both jailbreak and untether.
• If you’re already at 5.0.1 with a tethered jailbreak, you have two choices: either run redsn0w 0.9.10 over your current jailbreak (deselect “Install Cydia” if you do that), or install the Cydia package prepared by the chronic devteam.  The patches are the same regardless of which you choose.
• Some of you are using a hybrid 5.0/5.0.1 configuration.  If so, do not attempt to install this untether over that setup!  You will most likely get into a reboot cycle.  Do a sync and fresh restore to 5.0.1 then install the jailbreak + untether.

 

NOTE: Search Corona 5.0.1 untether in Cydia for the patch if you’re already on 5.0.1
