A huge THANK YOU to anyone that helped contribute to this glorious win over the fascists at apple who continue to believe open source is not the way. For those of us who do not believe in conforming to the will of company software design and have gained freedom for one's own devices, this calls for celebration. I, and so many others that have now broken the chains of these unneeded restraints, deeply thank you for your efforts and expertise where we unfortunately lack. You guys (and girls) are the beacon we look to when we need superheroes to save us from Apple's evil plight. Again, Thank You All.

No. A4 device refers to Iphone 4. 4S is an A5 device

Can't add any repositories in cydia... iPhone 3gs

Delete all sources except Cydia and then add them back on the main Cydia page (there's a tab called Cydia) by clicking on "More Package Sources".

Anyone having a problem with iBooks app - seems as prior to the previous Redsn0w release, iBooks crashes when booting from SpringBoard? I've ran the installation over the top of my untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak. Can anyone confirm the iBooks problem?
Alejandro Iván
Alejandro Iván - December 28, 2011 at 3:08am
It's a known bug with this jailbreak (it's a different technique than before jbs). I actually use A LOT iBooks, so I unjailbroke my iPhone until a fix is done. The rest of the phone seemed ok :)
CydiaUser
CydiaUser - December 28, 2011 at 7:10am
same here, iBooks doesn't work after untethered JB
Justin Blasizza
Justin Blasizza - December 28, 2011 at 10:12am
Thought so. It's a shame as they'd fixed this in previous version of Redsn0w, tethered of course.
Mark
Mark - December 28, 2011 at 12:42pm
There is a fix in the insanely repo called iBooksFix2 that works. It's temporary but at least it works.

For those asking regarding Gevey Sim. Yes it is safe to update on 5.0.1 as long as you PRESERVE THE BASEBAND. (Iphone4>5.0.1>untethered>tmobile) Hope this helps :)

thank for infor

so...fw 4.3.3 bb 4.10.01 apparently can be unlocked with gevey on 5.0.1. but if it happens to not work..can i revert with ifaith?
abhi86jain
abhi86jain - December 29, 2011 at 8:54pm
Try updating your phone with custom baseband 5.0.1, if you are on 5.0.1 with custom baseband and tethered jailbreak. You do not need to re-install the custom firmware for untetethered jailbrek. Just open cydia and install Corona Untether that will make your phone tethered to Untethered. Just make sure to preserve your baseband. Gevey sim works perfectly on 4.10.01 Baseband.

can anyone confirm if their gevey ultra still works after updating/jailbreaking 5.0.1? it was reported a while back that apple fixed the gevey exploit in 5.0b2 but ive been hearing conflicting reports ever since. thanks!
Ivan
Ivan - December 27, 2011 at 8:01pm
Gevey ultra will work on IOS 4.x and 5.x as long as you preserve your baseband. The latest redsn0w has the option of creating custom 5.0.1 firmware with no baseband update. I have an iphone 4 with gevey ultra running ios 5.0 and gonna update to 5.0.1 tonight.
Poseidon93
Poseidon93 - December 28, 2011 at 9:44pm
@Ivan did you update to ios 5.0.1? can you confirm that the gevey ultra is working? i heard that the other gevey are working(supreme, pro) but there are some issues with the ultra.
stick
stick - December 28, 2011 at 10:10pm
i can confirm that the gevey ultra works on 5.0.1 w/ baseband 04.11.01. however, after a few restores and rejailbreaks it seems as though this jailbreak is extremely buggy. not sure if thats caused by the gevey or not, but it is pretty annoying. kinda wish i stayed on 4.3.5.
Poseidon93
Poseidon93 - December 29, 2011 at 5:14pm
What bugs are there? I'm on 4.3.3 and i would like ro upgrade it .Thanks in advance
Poseidon93
Poseidon93 - December 29, 2011 at 5:49pm
Wait a minute, you wrote that the ultra work with 04.11.01? You mean 04.10.01 right?
MattC
MattC - December 27, 2011 at 5:14pm
ok, not having much luck here. Have tried on two seperate pc's. redsn0w runs ok, following directions, enter DFU mode, when iphone starts to boot, redsn0w crashes. Running Win7, each have 4 GB or ram and have no other issues. Anyone else seeing this? Probably try on mac @home tonight but that is a pain in the balls
Seno
Seno - December 27, 2011 at 5:55pm
try edit the compatibility the redsn0w.exe into windows xp (service pack 2) - (properties - compatibility - check the "Run this program compatibility for" and select windows xp (service pack 2) HTH

MattC - December 27, 2011 at 9:06pm

Finally for a untethered jailbreak, been waiting all this time. Can't wait to jailbreak now lol, without worrying to reboot!! 😉 Good job Pod2G!
Brandon
Brandon - December 27, 2011 at 4:07pm
This is nice, I just opened cydia on my tethered jailbroken iPhone 4 and installed the package "corona 5.0.1" and now my phone is untethered. This is a first because you would normally have to hook the phone up to the computer and run the jailbreak again. Jailbreaking evolved.

what is hybrid 5.0/5.0.1 configuration ?

Humbeegj1 - December 27, 2011 at 3:47pm
I have been waiting for this but have a question. I accidentally updated my iPhone to 5.0.1 when it got released, I'm a little confused if I'll be able to benefit from this jailbreak. Can someone please clarify ? I'm a newb
das
das - December 27, 2011 at 2:48pm
will this expose the exploit they used and undermine the A5-devices jailbreak?
Jim
Jim - December 27, 2011 at 3:38pm
Of course. That's why they did it. Seriously, why would they simply tell Apple about the exploit when they can put all of this work into JBing the phone. Thanks for your very educated concern, though.
djmactech
djmactech - December 27, 2011 at 2:46pm
Any idea if the dev team is close to an unlock for baseband 4.x?
das2
das2 - December 27, 2011 at 2:50pm
idiot, they probably wont release unlocks anymore since apple sells FACTORY UNLOCKED phones for a while
djmactech
djmactech - December 27, 2011 at 4:10pm
Stupid, Apple has been releasing factory unlocked iPhones since version 1. Immature dumb ass.
NaZz
NaZz - December 27, 2011 at 2:33pm
Okay, all I need now is an unlock.
Sam
Sam - December 27, 2011 at 1:51pm
It's seems Apple has block their server from signing the firmware update. Any advice? I'm unable to update to 5.0.1 from 4.3.3 for Iphone 4.

Hi, What is the error code If "21" then just remove ...gs.apple.com on the hosts file
Jacob Nørgaard
Jacob Nørgaard - December 27, 2011 at 3:09pm
I can't upgrade either - over the air also downloads, then fails. No code. Just fails.

Oh man, I got too excited and didn't read the post correctly. Thought it said tethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S *facepalm* I ran for my USB cable and booted back in2 MAC from Windows. LMAO *sigh* FAIL!!! On my part
Gurkha
Gurkha - December 27, 2011 at 12:28pm
Yea, I almost did the same thing. Lack of JB is only thing keeping me from upgrading to 4S from my 3GS.
