The iPhone Dev-Team has updated RedSn0w to resolve a problem with MobileSubstrate that occurred when rerunning the jailbreak.

The b3 version of redsn0w fixes a problem where re-running redsn0w over an existing jailbreak would cause MobileSubstrate-based apps to stop running until MS was installed again. Now you can re-run the redsn0w jailbreak step without worrying about that (but still remember to de-select the "Install Cydia" option if it's already installed).

You can download the latest version of redsn0w from here.

You can find instructions on how to use redsn0w to perform an untethered jailbreak using the iClarified Jailbreak Wizard.

Sinful repo works they just moved it due to some issue. The other repos work fine as well but they are slow because of the increased traffic. Redsn0w for mac work fine for me (MacBook air). If b3 doesn't work try b2 and then just install mobile substrate again.

I think this jailbreak it is not stable at all...remember when Geohot made jailbreak that shit was working properly on first try... By the way what happened to sinful? where did they move? thanks

It did take twice to do it though, first time when it disnt work the kernel took forever to move from 35% i thought it wasnt gonna move from there..... The second time i tried it was really fast....

Has anyone had the same problem? When I upgraded from 5.0 to 5.0.1 untethered it wouldn't let me restore my back up and the restore and update in iTunes is gray'd out. I have never seen this before...

yes I faced the same issue and I was shocked :D but no worries all u hv to do is to wait and don't unplug and don't close itunes while u r doing the restore, till everything is finished and the lock screen is show up on ur iphone, then Itunes will automatically ask u if u want to restore ur previous or ur last saved backup

mmmmm question...why would someone rerun redsn0w over a existing jailbreak? can you update to 5.0.1 in redsn0w without losing your tweeks, etc? that would be the only reason outside of a mistake that I could think of someone doing this...

All I did was: 1. Install iBooks through the App Store 2. Copy iBooks.app from /var/mobile/Applications/(iBook's coded folder)/ to /Applications using iFile (available in cydia) 3. Change CFBundleIdentifier in /Applications/iBooks.app/Info.plist from com.apple.iBooks to com.apple.iBooksFix 4. Respring Thanks to robopolo...

If u get the ibooks error delete ibooks then reinstall but dont open it. In Cydia add this source. repo.insanelyi.com. Then d/l ibooksfix 2 and it should work then. U can either keep or delete the source after that. It took me a while to d/l the source.
