These are instructions on how to perform a semi tethered jailbreak of your iOS 5 iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
A semi-tethered jailbreak is an interim solution which solves the problem of being unable to reboot with a tethered jailbreak. The semi tethered jailbreak by BigBoss will allow you to reboot on the road, but with limited functionality. It is enough that you are no longer stranded, and you can use your phone, text, and many other features. This is just until you get home and can use redsn0w again to just boot tethered. Once you do that, youre back to fully functional state.
Step One Jailbreak and boot your device tethered using the instructions below:
This semi- bullshit does just not work and you will risk your WIFI !!
My 3gs 32 New bootrom is now wifiless after i installed this crap !!
Stay away and wait !!
Stay away from this crap. I bricked my iPhone because of semi tether. Luckily it was in warranty period so got a replacement.
Stay away from piece of shit.
This is probably the first dark side of Jail Break i ever encountered since jail breaking began
STAY AWAY!
Appsync needs to work with mobilesubstrate first then it will work. They are working on an update for it right now and they say they should have it up in 2-3 days. Sheck the comments from Bigboss on the semiteather
Well, I installed the new mobile substrate and was ready to install semi-tether when it showed that AppSync would be uninstalled. I didn't go through then, but app sync is still working with new substrate.
how come this can't be designed into redsn0w? I did 4.3.5 goofing off and it was tethered but I was able to reboot just the same way as this makes it do.
a good idea, but it doesn't work. in fact, after i installed it and removed it, my phone just restarts on it's own. it works better in safe mode. this tethered jailbreak thing sucks even more w/ this semitether thing making things conflict. ah well. i've prepared myself to deal w/ having stock iOS 5 if i have to wait until an untethered JB drops devs, thank you so far for what you have done.hq
I don't abuse anybody but just telling you the truth this was done by dev-team to brick your iPhones so you can run out there and buy new ones. Don't you recall dev-team last year saying they have a way to unlock the iPhones for good then all of a sudden quiet about it then suddenly lo and be hold apple selling unlocked iPhones. And not new unlocks for new basebands. Come on guys don't have to have a P.H.D to figure it out.
It does not brick the iPhone. It certainly causes some headaches in having to restore the whole thing but it does not brick the iPhone. And I do have a PH.d which obviously you don't.
deleted semitether app, after a few failed attempts to reboot tethered all went well and my phone is back working as it did originally before this waste of time and beta app!
Tried it several times, (with no luck) but my phone is working as excellent as always, this wasn't build ti brick phones, if you might know in order to get something to work properly you need to test it a lot and we are in that phase of the process, so if you are one of those ignorants saying this will brick phones, please go back to school and let everyone else work on it!
