Chronic Dev Team member pod2g announced via Twitter that he found a bug exploit that could lead to jailbreak iOS 5 untethered release in the near future. He promised to focus entirely on bringing untethered jailbreak iOS 5 to iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch as soon as possible.
For the moment we don’t know further details about the possible bug in iOS 5 that could lead to jailbreak iOS 5 untethered, but chances are that it could be an userland exploit like the one’s that p0sixninja revealed at MyGreatFest event held this year. If so, it will be some really great news because the userland exploits would be available for all iOS devices, which means that both iPhone 4S and iPad 2 will be getting the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.
However on the
other hand the userland exploits have its disadvantages. The most important one is that an userland exploit can be easily fixed with an iOS update, unlike bootrom exploits which can only be patched with a hardware revision.At the moment jailbreak iOS 5 is available only in tethered mode, which for those of you who don’t already know means that you need to boot into the tethered state every time your iDevice runs out of power. iOS 5 / 5.0 can be jailbroken at the moment with Redsnow 0.9.9b8 and Snowbreeze 2.8b9, the latest and most popular jailbreaking tools available. Also follow our step by step instructions posted here in order to tethered jailbreak your iDevice running on iOS 5.
Stay tuned as we will keep you posted with the latest upcoming information about jailbreak iOS 5 untethered.
