How to jailbreak iOS 5.1 with Redsn0w 0.9.10b6

Jeff Benjamin ∙ March 8, 2012

iOS 5.1 has finally dropped, and for the most part we totally recommend staying away from the update if you care anything about your jailbreak, as does the iPhone Dev Team.

That being said, for those with older A4 devices, it is possible to enjoy a tethered jailbreak on iOS 5.1 and still downgrade back to previous firmwares if you have your SHSH blobs for those firmwares.

With A5 devices like the iPad 2, and the iPhone 4S, it is impossible at the moment to downgrade to any older iOS 5.x firmware, even if you have your SHSH blobs saved. So don't upgrade to 5.1, especially if you care about your iPhone 4S jailbreak.

If you have an iPhone 4, iPod touch, iPhone 3GS, or original iPad, then check inside for a tutorial on how to perform a tethered jailbreak on iOS 5.1...

How to Jailbreak iOS 5.0 and 5.0.1 with Ac1dSn0w [Updated]

Alex Heath ∙ Updated December 5, 2011

We've told you about Ac1dSn0w, the new jailbreak tool from the Pwn Dev Team. Ac1dSn0w is a Mac-only app that jailbreaks iOS 5.0 and 5.0.1. The jailbreak is tethered, meaning that you will have to re-jailbreak every time you reboot your iDevice.

Ac1dSn0w is in its first beta, meaning that it has a few bugs and should not be considered as totally stable. We have already heard that it does not jailbreak the CDMA iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1. There are probably more bugs to be found.

We've got a full tutorial on how to jailbreak with Ac1dSn0w Beta 1 after the break...

How to Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 Final With RedSn0w

Jeff Benjamin ∙ November 11, 2011

Apple released iOS 5.0.1 to the public today, and with it comes the need to jailbreak. Fortunately, we've got that need covered using the latest version of RedSn0w 0.9.9b8.

It's here, folks! The Dev Team just updated its famous RedSn0w jailbreak tool to version 0.9.9 beta 8 in order to bring compatibility with iOS 5.0.1 beta, which was released yesterday for developers.

SemiTether Jailbreak Updated For Stability

Jeff Benjamin ∙ October 30, 2011

The popular SemiTether jailbreak was updated to v0.9.1 this morning, and it's quite the update.

Working with Saurik, the team was able to fully incorporate the new mobile substrate, which allowed them to get rid of the daemon patching and restarting.

Mobile substrate now does all of the heavy lifting when it comes to the SemiTether. There's even an option to patch Safari to work in non-jailbreak mode now.

Perhaps most importantly, the new version of SemiTether will protect your iOS 5 Notification Center plugins...
