Planetbeing of the iPhone Dev-Team has updated the failbreak for the iPhone 5 with a kernel exploit.

Upgraded the #failbreak with a kernel exploit so tweaks actually work on iPhone 5. :D Almost a full tethered JB, though need dev account.

Last month, chpwn revealed that his jailbreak for the iPhone 5 would be reserved as a failbreak. That means it will be limited to jailbreak developers and won't be released to the public.

Planetbeing explains why a failbreak is necessary:

You can follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS to be notified as soon as any further jailbreak developments are announced.
