Redsn0w 0.9.9b3 Jailbreaks iOS 5 GM
Oct 4, 2011 - 7 Comments
The just released iOS 5 GM has already been jailbroken by a new version of Redsn0w. All devices that run iOS 5 can use redsnow 0.9.9b3, including iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch 3rd and 4th generations, the only catch is that it’s a tethered jailbreak.
For those who are unfamiliar, a tethered jailbreak requires that the device must be connected to a computer and booted with Redsn0w 0.9.9b3 if the device powers off. Failure to perform a tethered boot results in jailbreak apps and Safari to not launch. The sole exception to the tethered limitation is old bootrom iPhone 3GS.
Download Redsn0w 0.9.9b3
- Download now (Mac)
- Download now (Windows)
Remember, to install iOS 5 GM you will need access to iTunes 10.5 beta 7 or later.
Can this unlock the sim card?
the exception for 3gs means it wont work even tethered.. or it works untethered?
If you have old bootrom you can be untethered on the 3GS.
Cool! Just updated to ios5 on iP4 GSM. Jailbreaking as soon as data/settings restore completes so I can see if tetherme works!
