Pod2g has posted a video made by DHowett showing the successful untethered jailbreak of the iPhone 4S on iOS 5.0.1.
According to pod2g, before the jailbreak is publicly available.
The ‘‘ of iPhone hackers has made more progress on the A5 jailbreak with planetbeing just announcing that they’re out of Apple’s sandbox.
And we’re out of the sandbox with @saurik’s invaluable help! (well, at least there’s a PoC)
Turning out more complex than X-Gold 618.
pod2g also mentioned progress in twitter:
@planetbeing escaped from the sandbox with the help of @saurik. Thanks to their awesome work, there should be nothing left blocking for the A5 jailbreak. Now it should be a matter of days. Still no precise ETA of course.
Now that the team has been successful in breaking out of Apple’s sandbox (which lets them run unsigned code) they’ll focus their attention on writing the Mac OS X and Windows software utilities.
“Now it should be a matter of days” means that jailbreak utilities will be released very soon, maybe next week.
It looks like iPad 2 and iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak will truly be a team effort. Recently another hacker Saurik joined the team and made “some major contributions” yesterday.
Last week Pod2g that Planetbeing, MuscleNerd, and P0sixninja joined his effort to release an untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak of the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (A5 CPU devices).
Today, MuscleNerd noted that the team has received some major contributions from saurik:
props to @saurik for major contributions to the A5 version of @pod2g’s untether yesterday! (still no ETA, but moving forward)
Pod2g also thanked planetbeing for his help in escaping from the sandbox.
And greetings to @planetbeing for the coding + research. Really great stuff to escape from the sandbox.
Good news, that means that there is progress and we might see utility sometime this month.
UPDATE:
Pod2g has also addressed the request that the untethered jailbreak be released to developers. He previously revealed that there is a working jailbreak that requires a developer account.
Sorry, we can’t release the A5 for the developers, the exploit used have to be kept secret. I know this is unfair.
The iPhone Dev-Team has updated PwnageTool with support for the iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak. PwnageTool lets you easily create a custom ipsw for upgrading to iOS 5.0.1.
Unlockers can use custim firmware to preserve baseband version and unlock with ultrasn0w or gevey. Depending on your device you can also configure the ipsw with boot logos and Cydia packages.
PwnageTool 5.0.1 supports iPhone 3GS, , iPad 1, Apple TV 2G, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G.
You can download the new version of PwnageTool 5.0.1 from .

Pod2g has recently announced that Planetbeing, MuscleNerd, and P0sixninja have joined his effort to release an iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2.
@planetbeing, the legendary hacker behind iPhone Linux and lot of jailbreaks has joined the A5 research! The famous @MuscleNerd, the leader of the iPhone Dev Team, who did a lot of tests for Corona and whom integrated it and made it simple in redsn0w is willing to help also. And last, but not least @p0sixninja, the leader of the Chronic Dev Team, and my partner for years on iPhone security research has started to code and fuzz the Apple sandbox.
That means that we now have a dream team to create a public release of the A5 jailbreak.
Several day ago pod2g posted information why the A5 jailbreak had not been released yet. The key reason being that the exploit used for A4 devices (called limera1n) doesn’t work on A5 devices. The untethered iPhone 4S and iPad 2 jailbreak that we have seen on videos and photos was created relying on having a developer account.
We are sure that planetbeing, MuscleNerd, p0sixninja and pod2g is just a great team. Hopefully they will find necessary exploit and implement it fast, because Apple might release 5.0.2 or 5.1 and fix untathered.

2. If you are not on 5.0.1 yet, update now! If you unlock via ultrasn0w or gevey, make sure you update to 5.0.1 via a custom IPSW! See our guides for sn0wbreeze . Once you’re at 5.0.1, use the latest redsn0w 0.9.10 to both jailbreak and untether.
