Pod2g's untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak for the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G, and iPad 1, has been released, according the iPhone Dev-Team.

A few days ago, @pod2g gave the untether to both the iPhone devteam and the chronic devteam. We've put it into redsn0w 0.9.10 and PwnageTool, and the chronic devteam put it into a Cydia package (the same set of exploits is in all three).

Basics:
● The untether is for iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad1, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G
● If you have one of those devices and are 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! See the guides at places like iClarified.com if you don't know how. Once you're at 5.0.1, use the latest redsn0w 0.9.10 to both jailbreak and untether.
● 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.
● Some of you are using a hybrid 5.0/5.0.1 configuration. If so, do not attempt to install this untether over that setup! You will most likely get into a reboot cycle. Do a sync and fresh restore to 5.0.1 then install the jailbreak + untether.

You can download the new release of RedSn0w from here... We'll be posting instructions on how to perform the untethered jailbreak below.

Instructions:
● iPhone 4 (Windows, Mac)
● iPhone 3GS (Windows, Mac)
● iPad 1 (Windows, Mac)
● iPod Touch 4G (Windows, Mac)
● iPod Touch 3G (Windows, Mac)

*Don't forget to give pod2g and the Dev-Teams a big thank you!

A huge THANK YOU to anyone that helped contribute to this glorious win over the fascists at apple who continue to believe open source is not the way. For those of us who do not believe in conforming to the will of company software design and have gained freedom for one's own devices, this calls for celebration. I, and so many others that have now broken the chains of these unneeded restraints, deeply thank you for your efforts and expertise where we unfortunately lack. You guys (and girls) are the beacon we look to when we need superheroes to save us from Apple's evil plight. Again, Thank You All.

Is there anyway to hacktivate using redsn0w?

ben - December 28, 2011 at 3:47am

after jailbreaking 4th gen ipod touch on 5.0.1 cydia keeps saying it cannot comply can anyone help me fix this please? thank you in advance and also than you for the info on how to jailbreak

Crossroad - December 28, 2011 at 1:40am

Can't add any repositories in cydia... iPhone 3gs

ktula - December 28, 2011 at 6:44pm

Delete all sources except Cydia and then add them back on the main Cydia page (there's a tab called Cydia) by clicking on "More Package Sources".

Anyone having a problem with iBooks app - seems as prior to the previous Redsn0w release, iBooks crashes when booting from SpringBoard? I've ran the installation over the top of my untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak. Can anyone confirm the iBooks problem?

Alejandro Iván - December 28, 2011 at 3:08am

It's a known bug with this jailbreak (it's a different technique than before jbs). I actually use A LOT iBooks, so I unjailbroke my iPhone until a fix is done. The rest of the phone seemed ok :)

CydiaUser - December 28, 2011 at 7:10am

same here, iBooks doesn't work after untethered JB

Justin Blasizza - December 28, 2011 at 10:12am

Thought so. It's a shame as they'd fixed this in previous version of Redsn0w, tethered of course.

Mark - December 28, 2011 at 12:42pm

There is a fix in the insanely repo called iBooksFix2 that works. It's temporary but at least it works.

ben - December 27, 2011 at 9:53pm

i have the iPhone 4, the baseband 2.10.04. I bought it two years ago with out unlock. Is there anyway that ipod2 could unlock?

shameer - December 29, 2011 at 4:09pm

the 4 wasn't out 2 yrs ago

abhi86jain - December 27, 2011 at 8:06pm

For those asking regarding Gevey Sim. Yes it is safe to update on 5.0.1 as long as you PRESERVE THE BASEBAND. (Iphone4>5.0.1>untethered>tmobile) Hope this helps :)

sky - December 28, 2011 at 1:44am

thank for infor

xxaznxx - December 29, 2011 at 1:12am

so...fw 4.3.3 bb 4.10.01 apparently can be unlocked with gevey on 5.0.1. but if it happens to not work..can i revert with ifaith?

abhi86jain - December 29, 2011 at 8:54pm

Try updating your phone with custom baseband 5.0.1, if you are on 5.0.1 with custom baseband and tethered jailbreak. You do not need to re-install the custom firmware for untetethered jailbrek. Just open cydia and install Corona Untether that will make your phone tethered to Untethered. Just make sure to preserve your baseband. Gevey sim works perfectly on 4.10.01 Baseband.

Anonym - December 27, 2011 at 7:14pm

iPhone 4, (04.11.08). I had a successful jb, but now ibooks is giving a syncing error and won't connect. Gives a error messege saying there is a problem with the configuration of your iphone. Please restore with itunes and redownload ibooks.

BeAn - December 27, 2011 at 10:03pm

i am getting the same message have u managed to find a fix for it

Mark - December 28, 2011 at 12:43pm

Fix in the insanely repo works

Ju4nX - December 27, 2011 at 6:52pm

when you uninstall appsync and the ipod touch 4G resprings all the apps but the newstand are missing and i have to restart the ipod.

stick - December 27, 2011 at 6:44pm

can anyone confirm if their gevey ultra still works after updating/jailbreaking 5.0.1? it was reported a while back that apple fixed the gevey exploit in 5.0b2 but ive been hearing conflicting reports ever since. thanks!

Ivan - December 27, 2011 at 8:01pm

Gevey ultra will work on IOS 4.x and 5.x as long as you preserve your baseband. The latest redsn0w has the option of creating custom 5.0.1 firmware with no baseband update. I have an iphone 4 with gevey ultra running ios 5.0 and gonna update to 5.0.1 tonight.

Poseidon93 - December 28, 2011 at 9:44pm

@Ivan did you update to ios 5.0.1? can you confirm that the gevey ultra is working? i heard that the other gevey are working(supreme, pro) but there are some issues with the ultra.

stick - December 28, 2011 at 10:10pm

i can confirm that the gevey ultra works on 5.0.1 w/ baseband 04.11.01. however, after a few restores and rejailbreaks it seems as though this jailbreak is extremely buggy. not sure if thats caused by the gevey or not, but it is pretty annoying. kinda wish i stayed on 4.3.5.

Poseidon93 - December 29, 2011 at 5:14pm

What bugs are there? I'm on 4.3.3 and i would like ro upgrade it .Thanks in advance

Poseidon93 - December 29, 2011 at 5:49pm

Wait a minute, you wrote that the ultra work with 04.11.01? You mean 04.10.01 right?

MattC - December 27, 2011 at 5:14pm

ok, not having much luck here. Have tried on two seperate pc's. redsn0w runs ok, following directions, enter DFU mode, when iphone starts to boot, redsn0w crashes. Running Win7, each have 4 GB or ram and have no other issues. Anyone else seeing this? Probably try on mac @home tonight but that is a pain in the balls

Seno - December 27, 2011 at 5:55pm

try edit the compatibility the redsn0w.exe into windows xp (service pack 2) - (properties - compatibility - check the "Run this program compatibility for" and select windows xp (service pack 2) HTH

MattC - December 27, 2011 at 9:06pm

thanks, but compat mode didnt help.

Me - December 27, 2011 at 4:43pm

I got stuccoed at patching kernel half way

Tiestofan - December 27, 2011 at 4:30pm

Updated mine and everything's great! Thanks!

Ahmed - December 27, 2011 at 4:13pm

Finally for a untethered jailbreak, been waiting all this time. Can't wait to jailbreak now lol, without worrying to reboot!! ð Good job Pod2G!

Brandon - December 27, 2011 at 4:07pm

This is nice, I just opened cydia on my tethered jailbroken iPhone 4 and installed the package "corona 5.0.1" and now my phone is untethered. This is a first because you would normally have to hook the phone up to the computer and run the jailbreak again. Jailbreaking evolved.

RAVITEJA - December 27, 2011 at 4:02pm

Please check with UNLOCK boyz we have been waiting for it good job with jailbreak but unlock can kill apple. comeon go with UNLOCK for 4:11:08

Shrey Arora - December 27, 2011 at 3:49pm
