Don't upgrade to iOS 5.0.1, if you are still waiting for untethered jailbreak for iOS 5


If you've already upgraded your iDevice to iOS 5.0.1 and now wish to jailbreak, we've got a solution, which uses redsn0w 0.9.9b8. But, according to the folks at JailBreak Nation, if you're still waiting for an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0, you may wish to stay away from iOS 5.0.1 all together, at least for now.

For those that still wish to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1, follow these steps:

  1. Open Redsn0w and select "Extras".
  2. Click "Select IPSW" and browse to where your iOS 5 firmware is.
  3. Go back and click "Jailbreak".
  4. Follow the instructions on screen to put your device in DFU mode.
  5. Wait for Redsn0w to jailbreak your device and have it reboot into tethered mode.
  6. Click "Back" on Redsn0w, and then click "Extras".
  7. Select the boot tethered option and follow the instructions to put your device in DFU mode again
  8. Wait for your device to reboot, and you're done
