redsn0w updated for ios 5.1 (tethered jailbreak)


Submitted by Kevmau5; March 08, 2012


As i stated in yesterdays post, jailbreakers and unlockers are advised to stay away from the recent ios 5.1 update for now. But to all you more adventurous guys and gals, the Dev-Team have quickly managed to jailbreak the update with the similarly updated redsn0w 0.9.10b6.

If you will be updating and jailbreaking, be warned, this is a tethered jailbreak....BUT....from reading their blog, it seems that bigboss' 'semi-tether' has made an appearance built into redsn0w itself. Meaning that the phone WILL boot but NO jailbreak apps will work whatsoever and neither will Safari or some other stock ios apps.

This jailbreak is also for non A5 devices. So if you have an iPhone 4s or iPad 2 stay clear. For those of you with an 'old bootrom' 3g[s], it is a fully untethered jailbreak.

Unlockers! You can use redsn0w to update to 5.1 using the 'Custom ipsw' button to make a CFW without updating the baseband (ultrasn0w hasn't been updated for 5.1 yet but give it a day or two). This option is only for those with iPhone 3g[s] and iPhone 4GSM There are still no NEW unlocks at this time.
