Jailbreak iOS 5 - iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod Touch 4G, 3G, iPad [Tutorial]

By  at Wednesday, October 12, 2011  

How to jailbreak iOS 5 on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod Touch 4G, 3G and iPad? iH8sn0w and MuscleNerd, the well-know iPhone hackers have just give us some good news, they have confirmed on their Twitter that the current version of Redsn0w and sn0wbreeze can jailbreak iOS 5 on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4G, 3G and iPad 1. So far iOS 5 jailbreak is tethered jailbreak.

What Does Tethered Jailbreak Mean :

Tethered jailbreak means you will have to use redsn0w to enter DFU mode and have it “just boot tethered” every time you power cycle your device.

Important Note: iPhone users, if you rely on unlock you MUST stay away from iOS 5 update, it will break your unlock as it will upgrade your iPhone baseband to one that can't be unlocked. Dev-team will release Redsn0w 0.9.9b5 to let unlockers able to upgrade to iOS 5 with preserving the unlockable basebands.

Jailbreak iOS 5 - Supported devices :

  • iPod touch 3G
  • iPod touch 4G
  • iPad 1
  • iPhone3GS
  • iPhone4 (GSM)
  • iPhone4 (CDMA)
So far, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S are not supported with this jailbreak as they powered with higher hardware (A5-porcessor) than the above devices


 Required Downloads:

Jailbreak iOS 5 - iPhone 4, 3GS,iPod Touch 4G, 3G, iPad [Tutorial] :


Step 1: Connect your iDevice with your PC via USB, and open iTunes 10.5 then Restore to iOS 5.0

Step 2: Start Redsn0w, press on "Extras > Select IPSW" and point it to iOS 5.0 firmware ipsw file.



Step 3: Now select “Install Cydia” and click “Next”. Optionally (if available), you can also select any other option you like.
Step 4: Now make sure your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to the computer before you click “Next”.
At this stage you will be presented with a screen where you will be guided on how to enter DFU mode. Quickly hold “Power” button and then while holding the “Power” button, you will now have to hold “Home” button too. Now after few seconds release “Power” button but keep holding “Home” button until installation begins.

Step 5: Wait until you get iOS 5.0  jailbroken in few minutes. Congratulations.

Tethered Jailbreak : Once current Redsn0w jailbreak is still tethered jailbreak, you will be required to connect your iOS device with your computer and run Redsn0w again then choose "Just boot tethered right now".

don't try with gen1 iphone 4, dosen't work for reboot, you have to repair after with itune because safari and others browsers will not work

wigedywezzers said...

remember all those who get the silver/grey cydia square that doesnt do anything. You must run redsnow again as you did when you j/b it first but this time select "just boot" this will complete the j/b

oaks when it;s a silver square or isn't functional you need to plug it in, run redsn0w and go to extras and click on "just boot"
follow the instructions(DFU)
and you should be set .

For those who had Cydia silver square. Re-open Redsn0w and click on "extra" and then click on "Just boot" and re-do the jailbreak steps.

Put you phone in DFU mode ( instructions come with redsn0w) and reboot using red snow after its has restarted the Cydia symbol should go normal and work.

Anonymous said...

Everyone who has a white or silver cydia should do "just boot with anything now" and it works out it happened to me

ok people lok if u see the silver square that means that u have to go to redsn0w again then press extras then press boot and jailbreak doesnt support sim cards

I jailbroke it on my ipod 4g and everything went like how it was suppose to but when i tried to open cydia its just a blank square and when i click it nothing happens.What do i do.

Anonymous said...

to solve the "cydia just a white icon that does nothing" problem. after you jailbreak, which you successfully did, make sure your idevice is plugged into your computer, open redsn0w, then click on extras,click on just boot. make sure your device is powered off, and in dfu mode. it gives you instructions when you click on "just boot"

Anonymous said...

@kcaja1
I had the same problem, but then i put it into dfu mode and then used 'just boot' from redsnow and it worked fine.

Anonymous said...

if your wondering why you can't get it into DFU mode when you device is bith off and plugged in it is because it doesn't work... you must have it on and plugged in for it to work.

Low Bo Yang said...

Damn, it's been so long since the iOS 5 was released and why is there no Jailbreak for the iPhone 4 / iPod Touch 4...

Anonymous said...

you have to enter the dfu mode to restore it. look online how to do that.

Works perfect on my Verizon iPhone 4 with IOS 5. Every now and then enters "safe mode" but does not stop phone from working. Just takes a little tinkering to get use to how to "just boot" in the correct order. I like it. I MUST have iblacklist working on my phone, and it does with redsn0w jailbreak. Just sayin...

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME !!!!

I did this TETHERED jailbreak to my iPod 4g.

After 1 month I went to Cydia and saw that Appsync has new update. Then I updated it (and it wasn't connected to computer at that time) and then there comes ''restart springboard'' I pressed that and then it got stuck to that point when it's loading to turn off the device. After 10 hours the same thing, stuck. I have tried to turn it on with Redsn0w many times. And tried to return it to factory default settings but nothing works!

WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET IT WORK ?!??!?!

And sry for my english :)

GUYS HERE IS THE SOLUTION

THE IPSW FILE HERE IN THIS SITE IS IOS_5.0.1_BETA_IPH...IPSW SOMETHING LIKE THAT RIGHT SO THAT A WRONG FILE. YOU GUYS NEED TO DOWNLOAD IPHONE 3,1_5.0_9A3....IPSW THAT THE CORRECT FILE WHICH IS 5.0 IPSW INSTEAD OF 5.1 IPSW. SO THAT THE MISTAKE EVERYONE DOING AND I DID TOO SO HERE THE WEB ADRESSS FOR THE CORRECT FILE. http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/12/ios-5-download-available/
THEN DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT FILE (DEPENDS ON YOUR PHONE AND SERVICE PROVIDER)
THEN JUST FOLLOW EVERYTHING AS PHIL CAMP SAYS
Phil Champ

Before you begin
* redsn0w can’t automatically jailbreak iOS 5.0.1. You need to point it to a iOS 5.0 IPSW.
* STEP 1 in the tutorial above tells you to download iOS 5.0.1 for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. This is wrong: the screenshot in STEP 3 correctly shows an iPhone 5.0 file.

1. Find and download a 5.0 IPSW (for example, iPad1,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw).
2. Run redsn0w. (I’m using redsn0w_mac_0.9.9b7.)
3. Click Extras.
4. Click Select IPSW, and then browse to the iOS 5.0 file you downloaded in my step 1. A file called something like iPad1,1_5.0.1_9A405_Restore.ipsw is no good: you’ll get a fingerprint error.
5. Click Back.
6. Click Jailbreak.

Once your device is jailbroken, you need to enable Cydia and get rid of its white icon:

1. Run redsn0w.
2. Click Extras.
3. Click Select IPSW, and then browse to the iOS 5.0 file you downloaded in my step 1.
4. Click Just boot.
