Apple Releases iOS 5.0.1 To The Public, Jailbreakers Stay Away!

just completed my fresh restore to iOS 5 5mins before this!! PHEWW

OMG LIMERA1N EXPLOT HAS BEEN PATCHED WITH THIS 5.0.1!!!!! CONFIRMED
THE EXPLOIT WAS GOOD FOR THE 2 YEARS IT LASTED

NO MORE TETHERED JAILBREAK! APPLE WINS

COME ON IPHONE-DEV GIVE US THE NEW EXPLOITED UNTETHERED!

At least now they can finally release 5.0 untethered that they have sat on until apple released 5.0.1

same aye.. I never knew it was released I was lucky that singing window was still open,,

how can i downgrade 5.0.1 to 5.0 ? lost my JB

how do you confirm this?

I have successfully upgraded to 5.0.1 and re-jailbroken my phone. If you still have the original IPSW file for iOS 5, then all you need to do is open redsn0w 0.9.9b8, manually select that IPSW, and jailbreak. At least this is a stop-gap measure until redsn0w is updated to support the jailbreaking of 5.0.1 without having to manually select the IPSW.

i have redsn0w 0.9.9b8 what ipsw do i need to download ??

Search Google for iOS 5 IPSW. Lots of sources to be found.

forward to getting future – nice

manually select the IPSW. Do you know what folder on puter i will find it?

I need help !!! i am using a iphone 4S and have 5.0.1 . When i used redsnow 0..9.9b8 , i selected my ipsw and it said “unsupported IPSW” . Please help !!

I m using iphone 4 and when trying to manually select the IPSW 5.0.1 (downloaded from here), it says unsupported IPSW,
I m using Resn0w 0.9.9b8
Can anyone please help with this

Hey. Is it possible to upgrade from 4.3.3 to 5.0 now – or am i to late ?

Yes, it you have an iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPad 1, 2, or iPod 3, 4, download the newest version of iTunes from the Apple website, then plug up your device, click update.

i would like to kno the same thing i lost my jailbrake as well =/

If i do that now, I Will get 5.0.1? – and i only want 5.0
I have the 5.0 SHSH file in TinyUmbrella – but i keep getting error 1604 when i restore

I have this problem as well

Thanks…. it’s worked

Jailbraked my 3Gs before a week and when i downloaded the 5.0.1 i lost my JB, when i try to jailbreak again i get a messege:
Unrecognized build.
Fingerprint: 38b5cbccf371f102ba2cb2215aaf4b3
Please check wheather you have the latest version of redsn0w and whether this iOS version is supported yet.
NOTE: You can manually specify which build to use by going to “Extras->Select IPSW” (sometimes you can use this trick and just use the latest supported build to for your device).

What should i do??

i manually downloaded 5.01 but now my ibooks is messed up and doesn’t open.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I just managed to JB my iPhone 4 on 5.0.1 by manually selecting the 5.0 ipsw instead of 5.0.1 in redsnow (0.9.9b8). I kept getting the same error message but after trying a couple of times it just worked on its own. Try an get ur timing with the DFU mode as accurate as possible.

Hope that helps.

I HAVE THE SAME
THING AS YOu

I also have the same problem, did u get a fix yet?

Same here

its cool how its unsupported with this version of redsn0w… thanks shit face

Damn is there a way that I can downgrade my 3gs (new bootrom) from 5.0.1 to 5.0? pls help!!!!!

Thank you very much from Brazil!

hi, i tried a lot of time to downloaded ios 5.0.1 -ipsw firmware for iphone 4 …
but it cames like zip and it does not works anymore when i want jailbreak it at redsnow 9.9b8.
so please help me what i need to do it . thanks a lot

how to know am i on iphone 4 (gsm) or (cdma)

Hi faizal_fu,
Please would you like to help me for found ipsw firmware for ios 5.0.1? Thanks

To>Faizal_fu
gsm is when you have got a card slot in it. So that you can use it with any operator you wish all
over the world (Europe for example, we have only gsm types of iphone). Still you may be stricted to only one operator, but you can go ask for an unblock of that. While if you use the cdma iphone it is opposite, have no sim card slot for and you are totally stricted or connected to one operator and cannot change it. Like in US on AT&T or T-Mobile. CDMA I believe can be also in office phones or home phones, so that you can take it around the city with you. Something like that, I guess.

USE THIS IT WORKS FOR 5.0.1

EVERYONE has missed an important part here. I stumbled upon it. Do this

Redsnow 9.9b8
Make sure you are on 5.0.1
Download 5.0 (previous verison)
Run redsnow but specify the 5.0 version not a 5.0.1 (yes even though you are on 5.0.1)
Jailbreak as per instruction
When finished
again specify 5.0
Just boot option
BUT SOFT RESET WHEN IT SAYs WAITING FOR RE BOOT!!! (hold power button) I have not seen this anywhere and mine kept crashing or just didnt work!!! When you do that you see the pine apple instead of the apple and all works fine!!!

i follow your instructions i did see the pineapple instead for apple logo but cydia is not added to my phone. 3gs 05.16.05 firmware

rookie question prob. how can i download the 5.0 version again. I AM UPDATING MY ITUNES AND I AM RUNNING 5.0.1

Thanks H2o_slayer. I now still have some hair left.

same here

Fantastic! Works like a charm! Thanks for this method! the trick is just to soft reset while saying “waiting for reboot”!
I did it straight away and it works fine!
Cheers for the tips

i could not understand the last three lines plzzzzzz help me h20slayer

I did as u said, the moment I saw ‘Waiting for reboot’ I immediately pressed n held onto the home button. It does show me the pineapple logo but after awhile it switches bak to the apple logo n is stuck there :/
I am using an iPhone4 white version 5.0.1 n am using redsnow 9.9b8.

It would work with ios 5 on my 4s ?

can i upgrade to ios 5 and not ios5.0.1 now ? i’ve manually select my 5.0 ipsw file downloaded from other sit and it says failed.

Don’t do a soft reset,it will work anyway if you wait..

So is there a way to get upgrade to 5.0 instead of 5.0.1?

When i download iOS 5.0, it shows up as a .zip instead of a .ispw file and redsnow wont recognize it as firmware…??

use firefox instead of safari

You gotta decompress the .zip file. the .ipsw frimware file is inside it.

just rename it from .zip to .ipsw

if you look at thhe ipsw software for the iphone 4 and 3gs it says iphone3,1_5.0.1_9A405.zip but ah ha if you look at the iphone 4s it says iphone4.,1_5.0.1_9A405.zip now not being stupid but if you download the 4s file and force the software to load via itunes by restoring but holding shift restore so you can choose the ipsw file to run the phone on as if you were downgrading then possibly you may get siri as the siri files are only on the 4.1 file and not on the 3.1. any one tried this?

sorry the 3gs software says iphone2,1_5.0.1_9A405
but my point is siri is only software so I am going to try a forced software update to the 4s on my 4, worst case is I have to reload the 4 software. or rip the siri files from 4s located in the zip file and drop them into them into the same location in the 4 and then convert to ipsw from zip by changing the file extension.

Nice Ianaphillips…Tell Us About It

I have same problem

Where do I even download 5.0?! only 5.0.1 appears..

Apple only lets you update to the current firmware, or you can just not update. ANY firmware under 5.0 is easier, AND more stable jailbreaks, check out redsn0w, or limera1n!

HAVE FUN

Google “5.0 IPSW”, and download it from a reliable source. Then, after it’s downloaded, go back to redsnow, click on extras (below the jailbreak and cydia button), and click on specify IPSW. Find the 5.0 IPSW file you just downloaded and press enter. Then it should work!

Same thing happened to me.

Correction, it didnt just not install Cydia but it didn’t even jailbreak it, I could boot without redsn0w

where did you download ipsw 5.0???

i have the same problem

try searching “ios 5 direct link” in google. you’ll find it

if you can change the sim-card inside your iphone its gsm.but if it has an installed simcard that you can’t change its cdma (verison) .

try searching “ios 5 direct link” in google and download it from there and restore it with an updated itunes. if you click update you’ll get ios 5.0.1

thanks alot would never thought of that

Does it mean, if i have updated to 5.0.1, the jailbreak does not work?

it says /download-ios-5.0.1-to-the-public-jailbreakers-stay-away/

It’s working well.

hi
I have 3gs new boot rom I was syncing with itune, some how I greenp)sin running in the back ground

I HAVE BEEN ON WITH MINE FOR 2 NIGHTS NOW, WHEN I GO TO “JUST BOOT” IT TELLS ME THE THE BUILD IS BEING CREATED, THEN DROPS OUT AND TELLS ME THAT “unrecognised build” fingerprint:231aa2ae683efbf270c71ebe7fe944ce the cydia blank app is on there and its done the jailbreak but when i try to just boot thats the message i get , i hope someone can help, many thanks

i have the same problem heeelp

Great…all done. Thx a lot a lot …

And where is the redsn0w to download?

and i am stuck in the DFU connect to the itunes mode how come, phone would not boot, selected iPhone3,1_5.0_9A5220p_Restore.ipsw into the redsnow

I downloaded the official firmware 5.0.1 for GSM for iphone 4 , when i open it with redsn0w 0.9.9b8 , this message pop out : This ipsw is not supported by this version of reds0w . and a long fingerprint with a long serial . are you sure this works on 5.0.1 ?

repeat with selecting ipsw 5.0 before reboot.

Redsnow 9.9b8
Make sure you are on 5.0.1
Download 5.0 (previous verison)
Run redsnow but specify the 5.0 version not a 5.0.1 (yes even though you are on 5.0.1)
Jailbreak as per instruction
When finished
again specify 5.0
Just boot option

quoted from h20_slayer

hi, any luck on getting siri to work on the iphone 4? thanks

well 0.9.9b9 is here and it does everything like a cheese !!! get it and save the trouble

What’s baseband? I have iphone 04.10.01, version 4.3.2
please… help!!

that version of redsnow has bugs, use the newest version (redsn0w_win_0.9.10b2)

Hi,
I have jailbreaked my 3GS with ReadSn0w 0.9.10b3 and was trying to unlock it using ultraSn0w 1.2.5. It detects my carrier but shows No Signal.
The firmware = 06.15.00
iOS 5.0.1
Need help.

I tried with redsn0w/ultrasn0w, it said it jailbroke, but it cant detect the network anymore, neither is the wifi turned on. the modem firmware shows 06.15.00 while my iphne 4 is some 04.11.08. strange. looks my iphone is bricked since i flashed it with ipad baseband

From Dev-Team Blog:

“Baseband 4.11.xx cannot be software or hardware unlocked.
There is no exploit to software unlock it.
Basebands on 3GS and iPhone4 cannot be downgraded !
If you need to unlock, do some research and buy a used iPhone that can be unlocked or a FUL iPhone.
Any claim of a unlock for 4.11.xx on a website is a SCAM. ”

I updated via iTunes to 5.0.1 and had baseband 4.11.08 but did the jailbreak anyways and it still worked?!

Used redsn0w 0.9.10b3 on iPhone 4

Dont know if I am lucky or if it was supposed to happen – hope other folks try it and are successful!

Im also having this problem

6.15 is ipad baseband . once you change it iy cannot go back. i changed mine because the baseband i had on iphone was not unlockable. have you installed ultrasnow? not sure about on the 4 i have older model. i now i was warned over and over before changing to be sure i had a compatable phone before doing so. i know ultrasnow is the only way i get carrier signal.

I have installed ultrasn0w 1.2.5, but still – it is detecting the carrier but no signal.

is it factory Unlocked ??

i had that happen to me on ipad and iphone 4 vzw. try rebooting your device.

your BB is 04.10.01 and you are under Version 4.3.2.

awesome! finally got cydia. im tired looking to find cydia. great

GSM is the Phone Signal in Europe

GSM = Global System for Mobile, radio technology used by 80% of mobile carriers worldwide including AT&T and Tmobile in USA. It is a circuit switched radio technology capable of simultaneous voice and data communication.
CDMA = Code Division Multiple Access, radio technology using codes to place multiple users on same channel of mobile frequency to improve bandwith. Used by Verizon & Sprint in USA. This technology can only transmit either voice or data at one time.

restrat phone and cydia work installous to work more help

restart your phone all apps work

why am i unable to open my ios 5.0.1 firmware download after unzip? the file only comes in a bbfw and im have trouble or no thought on how to convert to ipsw

Don’t unzip…just change the “.zip” portion of the file name to “.ipsw” then select it that way

i have the same problem. i changed to “.ipsw” and its still a zip.

If your like me youve downloaded the “5.0.1 IPSW” a couple of time from a couple of sites already, well this worked for me try and let me know the results…Open Zip, Click on “Open Zip File” at the top, and next to “File Name” click the Down Arrow and switch from “Zip Files” to “All Files” and well search your “Download” folder and thats where my “iPhone3,1_5.0.1_9A405_Restore(4G).ipsw” showed up. ALSO dont forget to go to your “redsn0w_win_0.9.10b3,” select “Custon IPSW” and preserve a “NO_BB” 5.0.1 Restore. This is the one your going to use from now on to restore back to 5.0.1 firmware.

…Continued…then go “Pwned DFU” in Redsn0w and Restore the” 5.0.1 NO_BB”

Just try to do what i commented myself to do on from myself. The whole “First,…”open Zip…,” spiel.

You can used the 4.1 FW for your 3GS then install ipad BB 6.15.00 after you successfully JB, you will have a signal of any carrier, then you can restore to any FW version but you must preserved the 6.15.00 as it is support with Ultrasn0w 1.2.5

I have 2 3GS and do the same, and it works…

4.10.01 BB is not support by Ultrasn0w, you can use gevey sim instead.

if you want, downgrade your FW to 4.1 and flash your BB to 6.15.00 then you can upgrade later after you successfully JB you iphone.

when i jailbreak my 4G IPOD touch, it says Stage 1 then stage 2 then Reboot and it stays there -.-?

No i dont have any connection? whats wrong? please help!

i have the smae BB 4.10.01 and version 4.3.3 im using now gevey SIM is it possible to unlock my phone without using the gevey sim please reply for me in my mail Thanks

hey guys i Have Iphone version 4.3.3 BB 4.10.01 im using gevey sim to unlock it is there a ay to unlock it without using that gevey sim thanks Regards

just download the ios 5.0.1 file on mozilla firefox. it automatically unzips the file. the file will then show as an ipsw file. you just press shift and restore and then choose the ipsw file and itll restore.

Hi,

I have iPhone 3GS with 4.0 IOS & BB 05.13.04 – Used Jailbreakme and Ultrasn0w for JB and Unlock. Can I upgrade to 5.0.1 directly from Apple or do I need a “special” version?
Then, can I run Redsn0w-0.9.10b3 and Ultrasn0w again to go back to JB and Unlock?

Thanks

Worked great, thanks!

if i already have 5.0.1 do i need the custom firmware or can i just run redsnow

I downloaded from Corona my untethered jailbreak. Finally! It’s been weeks i had the tethered jailbreak! BTW, HC, all you need once u have iOS 5.0.1 is to run the newest edition of redsn0w as described above. I think it would be cool if a program came out to change the script of your ipod touch 4g so that it could change it to an iphone and automatically have a Phone button. The only problem would be that you need a carrier, and pay for the bill…

my iphone 4S came with 5.0.1 so is there a way for me to downgrade to the 5.0?

someone please post valid link to ios 5.0.1 ipsw (for a 3gs) thanks – all the rest i awesome guys…

Crap no windows? Thats it i cant wait a few more hours… I’m off to grab a mac!

go into folder options and select “show file extensions”, now change the .zip to .ipsw

Fucking mac..

Best likely to just download through iTunes. Then get the .ipsw on windows by, Start>Run>%appdata%>Apple Computer>iTunes>iPad Software Updates
If you are using Windows 7/Vista you can type %appdata% on the search bar found at Start

Try putting into DFU Mode then restoring

im using redsn0w_win_0.9.10b4 and i still have the same problems as John Gurango

Hi.. the ipsw file isnt in the bundle. tried searching for it in the search box and showing all hidden files … downloaded this twice still it never downloads the ipsw file

OK, hey guys, I have a minor problem. I have an IPod 4G 5.0.1…. I downloaded and unzipped the file for redsn0w, but where is the IPSW file? Also, if anyone is ind enough to comment on this, how do I go about installation if I have a Windows Vista to download from?

pls help me. i want to upgrade my ipad 2 ver 4.3.4 to ios 5.0.1.. i already downloaded IPSW 5.0.1… what sould i do now?

r3nant you just have to update your ipad trough itunes

if what you downloaded is a .zip file, then change that by renaming it as .ipsw. you may have to change your Folder Options by unchecking Hide known file extensions to be able to replace ‘zip’ with ‘ipsw’. hope it works.

you have to rename that zip file instead of unzipping it. see my reply to MoonBerry below. after you rename the zip file, open iTunes then select your iDevice in the right pane. from there, hold down Shift key and click on update or restore. before doing this, i would suggest that you back up your iDevice first by right-clicking it in the right pane.

i got redsn0w and it didnt work i no y but because it not even 5.0.1 i think

Apple stopped signing 5.0.1 that’s why it’s not working… even I tried a lot to install 5.0.1 in my iphone 4. But there is no luck … am trying to find signed ios 5.0.1…. don’t know that I’ll find or not.

I’ll give you $1.00 since you don’t know how to run a phone. Go back to your 10 key simple phone.

im error the ipad 2 restore 5.0.1 error 3914

hi, i have an ipad 2 GSM 4.3.5 software and i’m using mac os. I want to upgrade to ios 5.0.1 and then jailbreak. i downloaded the ios ipad2,2_5.0.1 9A405 restore.ipsw file but when i hit “shift+restore” on itunes and select the ipsw, i get an error which says “the ipad could not be restored as the firmware file is not compatible”… I try tinnyUmbrella and modify the file HOSTS in the “/private/etc” directory but keep doing the same error. Any ideias? how can i ugrade?

make zip to IPSW

use redsn0w (latest)
once u jailbreak iphone with redsn0w
come back to it
and choose an option in redsn0w : “just boot”
and your iphone will be activated without simcard

Anyone that can help please ?

Thanks

does this jailbreak work on 5.1 (9B179) ?

@Sai, Put your iPhone into DFU mode. Hold Power and Home button for 10 seconds, release the power button, while still holding the Home button for 15 seconds. When you open iTunes, you should be able to Restore and update your iPhone.

@ Sanders Jason678. Don’t run tinyumbrella, unless you backed up your SHSH blobs before. Just try to restore through iTunes.

Yes I did that too but the jailbreak fr it on iOS 5.1 is only tethered even if u try and download corona 5.0.1 untethered it won’t allow u to do it

i didnt work on my ipad2
