Jailbreak iOS 5.1 on iPhone 4 with RedSn0w for Mac [Guide]

Here are instructions on how to do a tethered jailbreak on your iPhone 4 running on latest iOS version 5.1.

If you follow this guide, you will upgrade the baseband version on your iPhone 4. This could be a big problem if you want later on to carrier unlock your iPhone 4. If you need a carrier unlock you should upgrade your device to firmware 5.1 only with a custom firmware which will prevent the baseband firmware from upgrading. Please note: this jailbreak is the tethered version only, so you’ll have to reboot with your Mac whenever you turn your device off, or reboot it for any reason. It is a slight inconvenience, yet if you really want a jailbreak, you will have to use this solution as it is the only possible one at the time being. Further, you should really save the SHSH blobs before you continue. You can find the instructions on how to do this in our blogs archives.

Dev Team upgrades RedSn0w, iOS 5.1 now supported

Only a day after Apple has launched the iOS 5.1 into the world, the jailbreak developers in iPhone Dev Team have officially released an update to RedSn0w jailbreak tool. This version of the software, RedSn0w 0.9.10b6 is a tethered jailbreak, and works only for A4 powered iOS devices. So if you have an iPad 2 or iPhone 4S you are out of luck at the time being. The same version of RedSn0w can also jailbreak the older 5.0.1 firmware, so there is no need to jump ahead and upgrade your device immediately.

RedSn0w 9.10 beta 5 launched, now with iBooks solution

Another upgrade to the famous jailrbeak app RedSN0w has just been seeded. Developers of this useful tool, the super stars of jailbreaking, iPhone Dev Team have once more updated this application. This time they have solved another troubling issue: iBooks. The issue was created with the help from PlanetBeing, another individual jailbreak developer.

This fix contains a solution for the iBooks, but now it includes the so called DRM options. The solution comes in a form of a software utility named ‘Crazeles’, developed and released by @PlanetBeing. ‘Crazeles’ avoids anti jailbreak scanning, which is executed by the iBooks app. If the scanning is done, a number of your books could become useless. ‘Crazeles’ is working in a similar vein as the ‘Hunny pot’ solution which was developed previously by @Comex.
