Ladies and gentlemen, the wait has been long and fruitless, but better late than never: the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 is now available through the redsn0w tool. Thus, devices that work with the latest version of Apple's operating system for mobile terminals can be unlocked without fear that the device will become an expensive paperweight when the platform is restarted.
However, it is not all good news. Although the Dev-Team appreciates and recognizes the great work that the pod2g hacker has done, they cannot announce that the tool that can now be downloaded functions with the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. The developer responsible for the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 still does not find the key to bring down the defenses of these devices, which have in their dual-core A5 processors a bastion that is proving to be impregnable.
Thus, from this group of hackers and developers they announce that the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4 with CDMA connectivity, first generation iPad and third and fourth generation iPod Touch will be the terminals compatible with the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1. However, they call for urgency, and indicate that the files linked from their main website will be available temporarily, so they urge those who want to unlock their terminals to download and follow the instructions as soon as possible.
In order to get the necessary files, you can download the toolkit for Mac from this link or for Windows from here, or go to the Dev-Team website using this link. On their page, they invite users who have not updated the system to iOS 5.0.1 for fear of losing the terminal unlock to do so, since it is now possible to have the device up to date and, in addition, with the Jailbreak applied.
Likewise, those who have the latest version of the platform with the so-called Jailbreak Tethered can also switch to Untethered mode, either by running the new redsnow tool or from the Cydia repositories.
As for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 users, only an excuse and a request for patience are dedicated to them. Apparently, pod2g is still involved in the search for the most appropriate method to be able to unlock those terminals without jeopardizing their operation if the device is turned off or restarted.
