IOS5 Jailbreak Strategy Guide

[graywolf]

hi sir, thanks for your reply but don't get me wrong. i know that the jb is only for 4.3.3.. i'm asking if i can prepare it on the next jb version? should i stay 4.3.5 or upgrade it for now? is the next probable jailbreake version exactly ios5?

Go to 5.0.1.

According to a blog post by Pod2g, it has been revealed that the hacker managed to successfully jailbreak his iPod 3G. He indicates through his post that it may take some time for a public release by stating, “At every step, the exploit code needs certainly to be reworked, but I really don't know right now.” He has also said he will work on the iOS 5 jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 as soon as possible, as he does not possess one right now.

Through his Twitter ache confirmed that the jailbreak will work on iOS 5.0.1 as well.

The first hint he gave that he could possibly have an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 was when he tweeted iarly November by saying that he had found a bug that could untether iOS 5. He said that one should not expect a release soon, but that he will be working hard on it.

Since he has put up a video of an iDevice running the jailbreak smoothly, one should not have to wait too long to expect a release.

Looks utterly fake to me. And who are they? New teams don't just pop up with a jailbreak you know.

That would be incredibly easy to make in photoshop. What they need to do is make a video, like Pod2g.

Seriously.

First off, thanks to everyone on this forum for such great info. This is by far the best source I had found for jailbreak news. That being said I may need some help.

I have an iPad 2, 3G on 4.3.3 JB 3. I would like to upgrade to 5.x.x (mostly to use iCloud with my new iPhone 4s).

I recently had to run a clean install of Win 7 64bit onto my desktop.

When I went to attempt a update to iOs 5.0 I kept getting the 3194 error. Thrice.

Third time iPad froze and I got it to boot out after sitting overnight.

So my question is, is there a tutorial somewhere that will walk me through the process of moving from 4.3.3 JB 3 to 5.0.x on my iPad 2 3G from start to finish, including the downloadingnof whatever new files I might need to put onto my newly restored Win desktop? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks again.

Hi. If you follow this guide it will help you get your device restored to 5.0.1 whilst avoiding errors such as 3194. Note that you must restore to 5.0.1. You have no other options open to you with an iPad2 3G. http://www.ipadforums.net/jailbreak...lsafe-method-restore-current-version-ios.html

Hope that helps.

So I guess it's perfectly safe to update the iPad 1 I have sitting here but I'm wondering about my 4S and iPad 2 3G. Apparently he doesn't have either to test, but everyone is also saying that it's a firmware exploit so it "should" affect the A5 devices. There's time to wait but I don't want to miss my window if Apple drops 5.1 tomorrow to cut this off. Thoughts?

 

[f4780y]

For 5.0 to 5.0.1 it was LESS than 24 hours which took many folks by surprise.

 

[guthrien]

Right, and the beta of 5.1 is out already right? Actually, I haven't checked that portion of my thought yet. I would like to see if 5.0.1 fixes my horrible 4S battery, but not at the cost of a jailbreak.
