Update:
MuscleNerd is recommending that this tool NOT be used as it contains copyright Apple code. [via iDB]

Unfortunately they achieve this by directly embedding Apple code in their program (15 times!). That's the kind of copyright infringement we stay away from. Hosting this app can lead to DMCA takedowns, etc. (Anyhow, redsn0w doesn't need the IPSW for each tethered boot either..it fetches the images from Apple's servers once and then caches them.)

---

PwnDevTeam has released a beta of Ac1dSn0w, a new utility to jailbreak the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 1, and iPod touch 4G on iOS 5.

I'm pleased to announce that we've just released Beta 1 of Ac1dSn0w for Mac OS X Lion (should also work on Snow Leopard). Ac1dSn0w allows you to jailbreak your iDevice tethered. It also provides features like Tethered Boot, Pwned DFU, and Exit Recovery to get your device out of Recovery Loop.

Supported Devices (iOS5/iOS5.0.1):
iPhone 3Gs
iPhone 4
iPod Touch 4 G
iPad 1

The team has posted the following steps to using their new utility.

1. Download Ac1dSn0w from [Here] [Mirror]

2. After downloading, open it and you'll see the following screen:

Note: You can click 'Show Console' to see some device related information. It also shows you the current state of your jailbreaking process. The Assistant Panel helps you to put your device into DFU Mode.

3. Connect your device with your Mac.

4. Turn your device off.

5. Click 'Show Assistant' and follow the onscreen instructions to enter DFU Mode.

6 . Once you're in DFU Mode just hit the 'Jailbreak' Button and wait until it's done (the device will reboot).

7. Put your device again into DFU Mode (Step 5) and hit the 'Tethered Boot' Button.

Done: Your device should now be jailbroken with Cydia installed.

I was able to jailbreak my 3GS on 5.0.1 but now I need to update my baseband to 6.15 for the unlock to work so I can install ultrasn0w. Anyone know how to get ipad baseband 6.15 on 5.0.1? (I recently purchased the phone at Apple store which comes with 5.0.1)

Are there any other links fileserver doesn't seem to be working either.

3GS user - November 28, 2011 at 6:10pm

The link is not working

DNA64 - November 29, 2011 at 5:44am

Both links work fine. If you can't figure it out you should think about taking a basics course in Computers and Internet :P

Everyone who is desperate for the JB must be using paid apps via Installous, otherwise all the tweaks which i have used via cydia gives hiccups to my device, I'm using 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4 & iPad 2 and dont miss anything, i don't care anymore for JB, but i can't forget to appreciate developers who spend their precious time on JB and make it available for free. Thanks for your efforts Guyz.

For people who want to try this, file is down. Just Google the filename, first 5 links, pick any

Jeff - November 28, 2011 at 11:21am

I Have it, Just need to find a place to post it.. NOT real sure I Want a Tethered JB, but can pass this if needed....

Tim - November 28, 2011 at 6:29am

I dont get it, Whats the difference with this tool and all the other ones? Whats wrong with using Apple code? Why do people cry about not having jb for 4S in every jb news page?

Pao - November 28, 2011 at 5:47am

Anyway looks no more available to download! Where is it gone???

Dudleydogg - November 28, 2011 at 5:32am

I personally appreciate every thing they do. I get a new device and place in a drawer till one day I can customize it to suit my needs. The sooner the better but in the mean time I have a perfectly good iphone 4 on 4.3.3, hoping one day I can use my 4s for the same needs. for all their hard work we thank them

Mich - November 28, 2011 at 4:15am

What I don't understand is how its possible to JB iOS 5 on iphone 4 but not on iphone 4S? Its the sam OS with the same vulnerabilities why it can't be done on iphone 4S ?

Tim - November 28, 2011 at 6:26am

Well, there is firmware on the hardware parts. Up to iPhone 4, there was a exploit in the usb firmware (limera1n exploit), this was closed in the iPad 2 update, and is fixed in the iPhone 4S. iPad 2 was jailbroken via a exploit in the OS (exploit wired upto 4.3.2), closed in 4.3.3 and is closed in iOS5 You get to use a new phone, we with iPhone 4's laugh at your lack of jailbreak :)

ChaoticMayhem65 - November 28, 2011 at 6:34am

The key difference between the iPhone 4 and the 4S is the bootrom. The iPhone 4 has a bootrom exploit which means you will always have at the least a tethered jailbreak for the device.The iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 share the same bootrom and as of yet both have no bootrom exploit so they rely on a userland exploit to jailbreak them. The iPad 2 had a userland exploit in 4.3.3 that was released by the almighty ninja @comex but when the iPhone 4S was released it was released with iOS 5.0 and the userland exploit was patched by then. So in simple terms no the iPhone 4 and the 4S are not the same just because they both run iOS 5. The key differences between the two are the bootroms.

6italia0 - November 28, 2011 at 6:39am

The devices are completely different, the jailbreak is already done on the 4S, the only issues that the 4S JB is the everything in cydia isn't compatible with the 4S simply because the device itself is too fast and cydia tweaks aren't yet compatible with it yet. The 4S JB is in beta just like apples siri update for iphone 4 is still in beta testing (accept apple doesn't want to lose money from the 4S because siri is the 4S' signature feature) otherwise it would have been released. But the 4S JB along with the unlock method will be released soon, as far as I know the dev team and chronic devs are hard at work to release ios 5 untether and to put finishing touches on at least a tethered 4S JB. Just need to be patient, its better to do a slow perfect job rather than a fast imperfect one

Sathish - November 28, 2011 at 3:50am

I dont know what is the point in releasing new tools for jailbreaking when one is already avaliable. Instead please concentrate on latest baseband hacks

Gustavo leon - November 28, 2011 at 8:55pm

TRUE!!!

Boywonda - November 28, 2011 at 1:50am

OMG.....for the love of.......iPhone 4S jailbreak, when will it ever get here? What's the point of releasing other JB programs for the iPhone 4 and older devices when there already is a tethered JB for it using Redsnow?

PAO - November 28, 2011 at 5:43am

Redsn0w can only jailbreak iPhone with old bootroom 01-59.00 and on iOS 5.0 only! This looks like can jailbreak iPhone 4 on newest bootroom and on iOS 5.0.1 too!

Merk - November 28, 2011 at 1:02am

Anyone know an ETA on an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5+ ? I am sticking to my 4.x until an untethered j/b comes out because I am not keen on the idea of the phone crapping out when I am not near my PC and not being able to reboot it.

Jeff - November 28, 2011 at 1:53am

My Guess is Never? The Fancy Tools to do the Same Tethered JB but nothing.. Gave up Holding my Breath, iOS5 is old now and 5.1 is out. Come on, we may not see it till iOS7 is out....

anth - November 28, 2011 at 2:18am

You clearly haven't been keeping up to date. Install the semi-tether and you can still use your phone without the jailbreak tweaks on iOS5.

Ashley - November 28, 2011 at 12:12pm

Could you explain more please as I seem to have missed this too? Thanks.

TRASH!!! IPHONE 4S JAILBREAK PLZ

dudleydogg - November 28, 2011 at 12:41am

I am getting the feeling jailbreaks will be allowed for lesser devices on current IOS but not on the Current Devices. So when iphone 5 finally emerges then we can JB the 4s. I have put my 4s back in the box and got the 4 out Siri will not be missed.

ben - November 28, 2011 at 2:08am

i don't think there's many people who cares for JB anymore, because they slow to release. and also people dont' like iphone as much as b4, android...

Boywonda - November 28, 2011 at 4:02am

****only 1 out of 5 people know what that means i meant*****

Willis - November 28, 2011 at 5:49am

I don't get it, why can't you tether with the 4S? I can tether just fine with mine
