Jailbreak iOS5 with Redsn0w
Yesterday evening I installed iOS5 on my iPhone and jailbroke it using Redsn0w. It’s an tethered jailbreak. So everytime you turn of you iDevice or reboot it. You have to put it in DFU mode and run Just boot from Redsn0w. Never had a tethered one before. Till now it hasn’t been any trouble. But still hope for a untethered one quickly.
Visit Redsn0w for the stuff you need to jailbreak.
Step 1. Backup all you stuff.
Step 2. Download the right firmware. Link
Step 3. Download and install the newest iTunes. Link
Step 4. Download the newest version of Redsn0w. Link
Step 5. Update or restore your iDevice to iOS 5.
I did a restore, it should be more stabel than a update. Stability is important when having a tethered jailbreak.
Step 6. Open Redsn0w and follow the instructions in this vid
How to put your iPhone in DFU mode:
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
Step Three
After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until Redsn0w kicks in.
Good luck :o)
