A very good news for iOS jailbreakers. The iPhone Dev Team has released redsn0w to provide untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1. This updated redsn0w uses @pod2g’s jailbreak exploit.

The iPhone Dev Team has released redsn0w 0.9.10 and PwnageTool to provide untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1. The Chronic Dev Team will provide iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak via a Cydia package.

Here are a few things that you should note about iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak:

  • The untethered jailbreak is only available for iOS 5.0.1 & not 5.0. If you’re 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!
  • 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
  • If you are using a hybrid 5.0/5.0.1 configuration, do not attempt to install this untether over that setup! You will most likely get into a reboot cycle. Backup via iTunes & then install fresh iOS 5.0.1 & later use redsn0w to jailbreak + untether\

@pod2g is now working on untethered jailbreak for A5 devices. You can consider donating for his work right here.

Tutorials for jailbreak + untether for iOS 5.0.1 coming soon. In the meantime read iPhone Dev Team’s official blog post about iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak. Also download iOS 5.0.1 IPSW for your iDevice if you haven’t already done so. Stay tuned!
