MuscleNerd has announced that iOS 5 has been successfully jailbroken using LimeRa1n.

iOS5 jailbroken on ipt4g: http://is.gd/7GxIcK http://is.gd/BwPvfh via limera1n + tethered boot..not too many surprises :)

Cydia works fine too from quick testing (I installed SSH) http://is.gd/oADWEo

Hopefully i0n1c will be able to port his untether to the new firmware. We'll keep you up to date with news as it developers.

IO5 is not out yet..... how did they get it?

David - June 7, 2011 at 11:16pm

it was released at the conference for registered devs...

Not so fast. The exploit "for some reason is patched by Apple in the official iOS 5." Remember folks, MuscleNerd and Dev-team gave us the same futile excitement for iPad 2 jailbreaking when iPads 2 first came out. Now where is the jailbreaking? Is there compromise between some members of Dev-team and Apple?

stop being so naive dude we live in a complex world where everything is not so bright and shiny and where cats dont shit rainbows; what if apple said do your jailbreak and shit, but announce it early so we can patch it, here a 50 grand check for every jailbreak you do... what if?

I bet this kind of attitude really gives them reason to create an unlock. Nothing stops you from using the phone with the carrier you bought it from, and hey then it all works too

HEY!!! we want the unlock of 3 jailbreaks ago!!! so shut!!

DacksMac - June 7, 2011 at 11:51am

I believe he is talking about unlocking some current basebands that have yet to be unlocked over the past 5-7 months.

I feel for u man, it's really been taking too long. If they have any progress on the unlock they should let everyone know or if they can't unlock it they should also let everyone know. Not just leave everyone hanging like this.

GREAT!! Now what about 02.10.04 an gps fix??

Is there any way to install iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 without being part of the apple developer program? I tried installing a leaked copy, it installed but then it says this device is not registered for apple developer program. I don't want to pay $99 nor do I know how to develop. So does anyone know a way around this?

VaughnSC - June 7, 2011 at 12:03pm

You don't have to develop anything; you just have to pay your dues and agree to an NDA. If you don't want to pay; you just wait until its released. Otherwise, what is there to whine about? That beta software releases are buggy?

ios5 developer - June 7, 2011 at 12:28pm

Hey bud, I can help I can add you UDID to my developer account for $5 though paypal if you want and you can have access to the ios5 and it will be fine through apple. Let me know

Rich - June 7, 2011 at 4:34pm

I'll take you up on that offer! email me! Bigrich@me.com I'll even give you $10

saam - June 7, 2011 at 9:46am

that was fast

Leonick - June 7, 2011 at 12:22pm

Yea, of course it was. All the current device will always be jailbreakable and this quick, they are all suceptible to limera1n which is a bootrom exploit, only way apple can fix it is with new hardware which is exactly what they did with the iPad 2.

Rbs2000 - June 7, 2011 at 9:28am
