UPDATE: Here are our step-by-step tutorials that will guide you through all the process of untethered jailbreaking iOS 5.0.1 with PwangeTool 5.0.1:
The iPhone Dev-Team has released UltraSn0w 1.25 which brings iOS 5.0.1 support to the unlock for older compartible basebands.
iPhone Dev Team’s , 3G, and 3GS software unlock, now with added PwnApple. Compatible with iPhone 4 baseband 01.59.00 and iPhone 3G/3GS basebands 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04 and 06.15.00! Thanks to @sherif_hashim and @Oranav for contributing baseband crashes
UltraSn0w 1.2.5 is now available in Cydia.
If you have one of the supported basebands and wish to update to iOS 5.0.1 you will need to do so with a custom ipsw that doesn’t update your baseband.
iPhone Dev-Team released RedSn0w 0.9.9b9 with full iOS 5.0.1 support (no need to point to iOS 5.0 any more). New version also features support for SHSH and APTickets:
- native support for 5.0.1 (no need to point redsn0w at 5.0 IPSW or use command-line args). Support automatically extends to all of redsn0w’s various functions: “Jailbreak”, “Just boot”, “Fetch blobs”, “Stitch blobs”, “Recovery Fix”
- iBooks fixed in 5.0 and 5.0.1. This is a targeted fix that doesn’t remove entire sandbox mechanism. 5.x users already using redsn0w “Just Boot” can just use the new version without redoing entire jailbreak again
- 3GS old-bootrom owners can now create custom IPSWs without blobs
- ultrasn0w compatability update (i.e. same baseband requirements) for 5.0.1 will be available on Cydia Monday
- support for newer 8GB (which until now had problems with “Fetch blobs”). Thanks to @JKjeepnJeff for loaning us one of these newer i4 units for testing!
- allows Windows users (not just OS X users) to use the “Custom” button to create IPSWs without baseband updates. (Update: please wait for 0.9.9b9b for this!)
- accommodates APTickets in 5.x (until next Apple countermove). APTickets are crypto-verified before submitting to Cydia, just like the main blobs. Cydia server support for sending back the APTickets is upcoming. For now, use stitched IPSWs for 5.x. Due to APTickets, stitched 5.x IPSWs now require user to start in “Pwned DFU” mode
- Support added for stitching 4.x blobs to iPad2-GSM IPSWs. Similar to @notcom’s TinyCFW but doesn’t require lots of RAM or a TSS-assisted restore. Won’t work for iPad2 5.x blobs (or iPhone4S at all) until a bootrom-level exploit is out
- top line now shows whether (and where) a redsn0w update is available, or if the version being run is the latest. Uses DNS TXT record to alleviate any concerns about snooping
- no 5.1 beta support at this time (major apps like Cydia are not yet compatible)
- @pod2g has been doing a great job porting his 5.x untether…check for updates!
- Owners of newer 3GS iPhones must not flash the iPad baseband. The iPad baseband will not work on 3GS iPhones built later than 2011 week 35. You have a week 35 or later device if your serial # starts with xx135.
Update #17b: Version 0.9.9b9b enables the “Custom” button for Windows users, and make the 3GS week 35 warning a more explicit part of the process.
You can download RedSn0w 0.9.9b9b .
UPDATE: redsn0w updated to redsn0w 0.9.9b9d.
UPDATE: official ultrasn0w with iOS 5.0.1 !
This tutorial is for those users of locked iPhone 3GS and , who updated to iOS 5.0.1 and realized that ultrasn0w unlock doesn’t work there.
Indeed DevTeam have not updated software unlock utility ultrasn0w to work with the latest iOS 5.0.1. There are two workarounds, that will make ultrasn0w work on 5.0.1.
iH8Sn0w has released Sn0wBreeze 2.8b10. Here is a changelog:
As usual the jailbreak is semi-tethered for , iPad, iPhone 3GS with new bootrom, iPad Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G and untethered for iPhone 3GS with old bootrom.
You can download Sn0wBreeze 2.8b10 .
UPDATE: Sn0wBreeze 2.8b10 step-by-step jailbreak and unlock tutorials:
The iPhone Dev-Team has updated RedSn0w with support for jailbreaking iOS 5.0.1 beta which was .
RedSn0w 0.9.9b8 recognizes 5.0.1 beta and you don’t have to “point at 5.0 IPSW” any more. Since the IPSW isn’t public, you’ll still need to provide it once to redsn0w (Extra -> Select IPSW).
Mac users can also create custom firmware and preserve baseband for unlock. However ultrasn0w doesn’t get updated for betas yet.
This is still a tethered jailbreak for all except old-bootrom 3GS users.
You can download RedSn0w from .
UPDATE: to jailbreak ioS 5.0.1 beta 2, just point to iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1 IPSW
The iPhone Dev-Team released jailbreak utility RedSn0w 0.9.9b6 for both Windows and Mac users. The new version offers full iOS 5 jailbreak support for Windows and fixes Location Services issue for iPhone 3GS devices running the 06.15 baseband. This is still a tethered jailbreak for , iPhone 3GS, iPad 1, iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 4G:
We’ve released version 0.9.9b6 of redsn0w, with both a functional fix and cosmetic fix for iOS5 jailbreakers. For iPhone3GS owners with the 06.15 baseband, this redsn0w eliminates the network crash you saw when using Location Services in iOS5 (in fact, you don’t even need to disable Location Services anymore during the initial setup). The cosmetic fix is to the visual countdown you see when going into DFU mode.
It’s okay to re-run this redsn0w over an existing device jailbroken at iOS5. Just choose “Jailbreak” again and de-select Cydia (in other words, all the checkboxes will be unchecked). If you are lucky enough to have an old-bootrom iPhone3GS, please pre-select the IPSW first (redsn0w can’t yet auto-detect the FW version of your old-bootrom 3GS if it’s already been jailbroken).
Just as the new version supports creating custom firmwares with preserving baseband (modem) version for . Unfortunately right now custom firmware functionality works only with Mac version.
You can download the latest RedSn0w version .
UPDATE:
Here are links to our RedSn0w 0.9.9 iOS 5 jailbreak tutorials:
If for some reason you don’t want to use to jailbreak your iOS 5, here is a good alternative utility – Sn0wBreeze 2.8b8. It can perform a tethered jailbreak for iPhone 3GS, , iPad 1, iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 4G.
As usual it will preserve your baseband (modem) version for unlock with or Gevey Sim.
