IOS5 Jailbreak Strategy Guide
- Thread starter f4780y
- Start date
The best advice for those with iPad2s (and iPhone 4Ss) is to sit tight; in the absence of news that relates to your specific device, the best advice is to do nothing.
It all goes back to the best thing I've heard about jail breaking: Until/unless a jailbreak is officially released for your device, do not upgrade. The corollary is: Only upgrade IF you've been told by the jail breaking community to do so.
IOW, hang in there! We'll keep monitoring the news to keep track of what's happening (as, I am sure, all of you are).
Please .... patience. Thanks.

for those that is already jailbroken on iOS 5.0.1 tethered(without semi-tether installed), can just download Corona from cydia, to get the untether jailbreak working, without the need of using a computer.
if you did however installed the semi-tether, you need to do a fresh restore to 5.0.1 first with iTunes.
if you are already on iOS 5.0.1, not jailbroken.....just use redsnow to jailbreak(no iTunes needed).
there is pwnagetool too if you use that.

Ah, Rudy, that's the problem. No one knows. Again, generally, the "rule" is to stay put until notified otherwise (which is the theory I'm operating under, in that my iPhone 4S is at iOS 5.0, despite that stooooopid red dot!).
For now, I'd recommend staying where you are - mainly because we don't know. It'll get a bit sticky (and scarier) when we hear about the release of 5.1, but until then ... we wait.
Yeah, not reassuring, but that's all I've got!

Hmmm... I hope the next firmware update won't be out too soon, otherwise iPad2 and iPhone 4S users will stay without jailbroken devices.

I know. I hope this doesn't happen. I've been on 5.0 since I heard about it here and I've been waiting for the JB. I want to JB my iPad2 so bad. It was fun having a JB iPad1.
So many good and useful apps that you don't see everyday in the App store. It was like finding a buried treasure chest.

As ever, precise, clear and to the point!!
Just what we need to read during these times of confusing choices. This is one of the many reasons why this is the best iPad forum on the world wide web!
