November 24, 2011Hey everyone, iOS 5 tethered Jailbreak is here! Yes, as the preveious statement suggests, it’s not untethered and you still can’t jailbreak iPhone 4S and iPad 2. However, as we all know how it is with jailbreaks, it’s just a matter of time before one of the dev teams releases one for iPhone 4S. You can either watch the video to jailbreak your phone, or you could follow this step by step guide below.
Do note that you’ll need to download Redsn0w 0.9.9b6 and iOS 5 Firmware before you can continue. Here are the links:
Download Redsn0w 0.9.9b6 for Windows: Windows Redsn0w 0.9.9b6

Jailbreak Instruction::
Step 1: Open Redsn0w, Select Extras, Select “Select IPSW”, Load the iOS 5 Firmware, Select “Install Cydia” and power off your iPhone. Click next, then Enter DFU mode using the instructions. The Jailbreak will begin so sit tight for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Now once your iPhone/iPod/iPad finishes your iDevice will reboot and your Cydia will crash when opened. What we will need to do to fix this is we once again open Redsn0w and select the iOS 5 Firmware, then select the option “Just boot tethered now”. Again enter DFU mode and this process will take much less time than the jailbreak. A pineapple will appear on the screen and this means the tethered boot is working. Just to let you know, You will have to follow Step 2 whenever your battery dies or you power off your device to get your iDevice to boot properly.
