Just more than 12 hours after the announcement of the new iOS 5 from Apple and beta release of the OS for developers, the Dev-Team member @Musclenerd confirms tethered jailbreak of freshly cooked, ready to serve version.
He tweeted about it confirming the same by having Cydia & iSSH installed on iPod touch with iOS 5 beta.
These are the first pictures and detailed information will be available soon. But I am sure that the Dev-Team wouldn’t like to talk details about it until new OS is made available for public in anticipation that Apple might patch the hole (again)!
Dev-Team also confirmed via Twitter that over-the-air updates, activations will not make any difference to jailbreak iOS 5 devices. In fact, through jailbreaking it would even be possible to turn-off such updates in future to avoid any mistakes.
iOS5 jailbroken on ipt4g: http://is.gd/7GxIcK http://is.gd/BwPvfh via limera1n + tethered boot..not too many surprises 🙂
Screen-shots
iOS 5 is already available for developers and beta testers and we need iTunes 10.5 to be able to install or use iOS 5 devices.
iOS 5 jailbreak is tethered only. There are no tools available like Redsn0w, Sn0wbreeze or Pwnage Tool at the moment. Â There is no unlock available so its better to completely stay away from upgrading to iOS 5 unless you know what you’re doing.
Update #1
Apple released iOS 5 Beta 2 today. It is possible to jailbreak this new Beta 2 via Redsn0w. Just point at Beta 1 IPSW in Redsn0w. Note: This is for developers only.
More update to follow soon.
Cheers
