Fix iOS 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak Bugs MobileSubstrate With Redsn0w 0.9.10b3 — Download Now

by Ahmed Omar on December 30, 2011

After few months of waiting, the first iOS 5 untethered jailbreak was released thanks to pod2g’s exploit which was discovered couples of weeks ago. The jailbreak was available thanks to Redsn0w 0.9.10b1 then followed by Redsn0w 0.9.10b2 which fixed “launchctl” error. Earlier today, the iPhone Dev Team pushed yet another update to their popular jailbreak tweak, redsn0w, to fix more issues.

Download Redsn0w 0.9.10b3

Some of you, whose devices were already on iOS 5.0.1 and tethered jailbroken, get many crashes because of the MobileSubstrate-based apps. The Redsn0w 0.9.10b3 fixes issues with MobileSubstrate.

The b3 version of redsn0w fixes a problem where re-running redsn0w over an existing jailbreak would cause MobileSubstrate-based apps to stop running until MS was installed again. Now you can re-run the redsn0w jailbreak step without worrying about that (but still remember to de-select the “Install Cydia” option if it’s already installed).

You can follow our previous instructions posted here to do an untethered jailbreak on iOS 5.0.1 using Redsn0w 0.9.10b3 but use the download links below for the new redsn0w version.

 Redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for Windows
 Redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for Mac OS X

    does this fix the ibooks crashing issue?

  • prince3o

    Will this fix my apps from crashing with the Spire install or iBooks crash?

  • marc

    what does it mean MobileSubstrate ?

  • farmboy

    I installed this update, accessed cydia and was prompted to upgrade mobile substrate and Springtomize 2. After doing so, Springtomize does not function properly (if at all) and I could not access cydia nor any other jb app or tweak. ITunes would not even recognize the iPhone to allow a restore. Re-ran the newest version of RedSn0w again and everything works again except springtomize2.

  • http://twitter.com/Sky_Hew Sky Hew

    Yes, waiting for iPhone 4S jailbreak!

  • D1sturbed666

    I had no major issues with b1, b3 took 3 attempts to successfully jailbreak and various issues have occurred like the Iblacklist license prompt upon every open and the springtomize problem also. I haven’t noticed anything farther yet but I won’t be surprised if I do. Don’t want to complain though more help inform others and find a fix any ideas throw them at @d1sturbed666

    Or, you can update MS through Cydia.
    Just

    1. Goto Cydia
    2. Go to the changes section
    3. Hit refresh. Wait, it should take a while because of all the traffic.
    4. Notice there is a update for Mobile Substrate. Install it.

    You can just run the new redsnow 0.9.10b3 over it with no problems. Just make sure that you deselect the install cydia box since its already on your device. Should be no problem.

    Is there ANY way to downgrade baseband from 4.11.08 to the unlockable 4.10.01 in a gevey sim? I made the horrible mistake of upgrading without a custom IPSW and now I’m stuck. I tried restoring to 4.2.1 and 4.3 but none of them downgraded by baseband. Some say 4.3.5 does downgrade it but there are no SHSH blobs for that restore. I’m going totally biserk!!

    I hope Dev Team finds time and energy to unlock 4.11.08 after being done with the untethered version. So many people are dependent on it.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=12403976 Ashley Schrader

    I have an iPhone 4 running 5.0.1. I jailbroke it Tuesday and last night it crashed and was stuck on the Apple logo. I tried just running the redsn0w 0.9.10b3 over it and at one point it was stuck on the pineapple logo. I got tired and just left my phone stuck on the Apple logo and when I woke up my phone seemed to be working fine. I came to find, though, that my Mail app won’t work, Safari won’t open, and my jailbreak apps were visible but would not open. It’s like my phone is stuck between Apple and jailbreak purgatory because my Glasklart icons are active but I can’t customize anything.

    Is my only option to restore and re-jailbreak? If so, that’s okay, but if there’s a quicker fix I would really love to hear it. Thank you to anyone with advice!

  • Melissa

    I am having this same issue where my apps keep crashing, so if anyone has any suggestions to fix this, that would be great. Also finding phone is running a tad slower, not sure if anyone else is experiencing this issue. Another issue is sometimes I get white icons on my screen such as “adsheet” and a few others.

  • http://twitter.com/CydiaH3lp Christian Duvall

    Worked great! Thanks for the tutorial!

  • Itzikman

    Ashley Schrader, My jailbreak has the same symptoms you mentioned (iPhone 4).
    The only solution was restore to factory state.
    In my opinion, the jailbreak solution is not mature yet and there are bugs not solved…one should wait (for a while) till all issues in JB are fixed including cydia upgrades not yet compatible with iOS 5.0.1.

  • mike6

    i updated my 4th gen ipod to 5.0.1 and jailbroke it with redsnow and i got cydia fine, but my safir wont work it comes up as a blank whitte screen and closes after a min or two, also when i open any folder it slides up and the only way to get out of it is to hit the sleep button, alot of other lil problems and crashes what do i do?

  • Anonymous

    this is all so damn complicated compared to Android…. is ipad 2 501 jb even out yet? WTF

  • Itzikman

    There is a fix for iBooks through cydia..just Google it, you will have to install the proper source package and then a tweak within the package..

  • Gibletz

    What the hell? Are all these problems just associated with people who ran the tethered jailbreak and then ran this one without restoring? I’m still using Redsn0w 0.9.10b1 without a single issue because I never tethered, I waited for an untethered jailbreak, and then DFU’d and restored to stock 5.0.1 firmware, and then jailbroke it.. Apps run fine, no crashes, Safari works, mail works, everything just flat out works, what is going on? Or am I just stupidly lucky? :S

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=12403976 Ashley Schrader

    Thanks Itzikman! Sorry to hear you’re dealing with the same issues. I’m going to go against better judgment and jailbreak again after I restore but if the same issues arise again I will just wait. I’ve been un-jailbroken for a couple of months now anyway so it won’t kill me if I have to do it again.

  • Viper353

    I just found out that my Facetime app icon was gone (iPhone 4 32gb locked 4.11.08 so I can’t use it yet as a phone). And another thing is that I can’t turn my iMessage toggle to “On”, it automatically returns to off as I toggle it on.

    These are what I did:
    1. Restore to iOs 5.0.1
    2. After restore Jailbroke my iPhone using redsn0w
    3. Check out my iPhone and facetime is still not appearing.

    Anyone experiencing this? Please help me :D

  • f7387

    stupid question (feel free to point to an faq page) but i ran the b2 jailbreak, and when i tried to install a non AT&T sim, it flashed an “invalid sim” message. how do i get around this? i moved outside the US two months ago, and my less-than-year-old iPhone 4 has been nothing but a fabulously expensive iPod touch!

  • Melissa

    So for anyone that was having a problem similar to me where the applications kept crashing, I found the fix (at least it worked for me). The app Spire was causing the issue, the moment I deleted it I do not have any issues opening applications. Hope this works for those experiencing same issue!

  • v0002

    search for unlocks instead of jailbreaks

  • Itzikman

    The painful part of this experience was that I manage to install most of the apps and tweaks from Cydia (like having a complete new iPhone 4), and 2 days later a disappointing crash, it took me 2 days to convert the iP4 to a different bread.
    However I won’t go again through this process without making sure that the JB solution works !

  • Itzikman

    bread > breed..

  • Naveed_ngr

    First you should have used custom ipsw to preserve baseband so you can stay unlocked.

    Secondly if you have upgraded from ios 4 to to ios 5.0 or 5.0,1 then you will not find facetime in homepage instead you will find it in setting,where you can activate it.

  • Cock_sparrer

    why don’t you find the hack for the ipad2 mate? that should shut you up instead

    update 3 worked fine for me on iPhone 3gs – ios 5.0.1 , everything seemed cool – but then I tried to install WifiSMS, and couldn’t connect. So did OpenSSH, same deal. It appears that it’s disabled all external access to the phone. Anyone have any ideas on what I need to do?

    I’m having the same problem. I can’t see facetime anywhere. In contacts, settings or in restriction. No where I can see facetime button. (iphone4 32GB ios 5.0.1)

  • amir master

    back to 4.3.3 !!!!!! god Daaaaaamn untethered jailbreak …. my phone stuck on apple logo again and again and again and again !!!! if u want use Siri or newsstand then buy a 4S !! hate 5.0.1 !!

  • http://twitter.com/teaman908 Ryan Tea

    Updated to 5.0.1 and jailbroke it with redsn0w b3, but now it randomly loses signal and turns off wifi by itself and comes back on (sort of like airplane mode on and off). Does anyone else have the same problem? I used a custom ipsw firware of 5.0.1 because this iphone 3GS has the ipad 06.15.00 baseband. Please help!

    I also tried restoring it to the custom ipsw firmware without the jailbreak and it still acts crazy with the signal and wifi. I don’t know what to do to fix this problem

  • http://twitter.com/teaman908 Ryan Tea

    this happens to me sometimes. It cuts off and on randomly

  • Viper353

    Well about BB, I had no choice. I got it as a 5.0.1 already so its BB was already updated so it was alright for me. But the facetime was really not here. I jailbroke/restored couple of times already and its still not showing up. Yes I did activate it. And still the iMessage toggle doesn’t turn on. :|

  • Viper353

    Oh another thing, I used to have an iPod touch 4 before my iPhone 4 so I tried what I did before using iMessage. Now when I try to send a message to another users email it says: “Cannot Send Message – MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send to an email address”

  • Akmalv1

    1)Open Cydia
    2)Install Ultras0w 1.2.5
    3)Respring or reboot your iphone
    4)If you’re lucky your device might also been unlock since it is unlocking program
    5)Open Settings-Airplane mode On–>Off and then On again
    6)Now your wifi should have no problem

    Okay last night I restored my phone, jailbreak again, and downloaded all of my cydia apps. My springboard kept crashing and wouldn’t leave safe mode and I deleted a few things like LiveClock and some themes. Everything is completely fine now and working perfectly.

    Does anyone know if LiveClock is a cause of problems? I’m staying away from it now.

    Hey All, Been out of the game since Jailbreaking and unlocking my 3G for T-mobile a couple of years ago. Got a free 3GS from my buddy that’s running 5.0 (9A334) and 5.16.05. I successfully used the latest RedSnow (10b3) today to JB and Cydia seems to be working fine. So, can I unlock 5.16.05 for T-Mobile using UltraSnow, or am I screwed for now? Also, as I’m on 5.0, should I bother with 5.0.1, or consider downgrading to 4.x of some kind for an Ultrasnow unlock? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your reply. Happy New Year to all!

  • Anonymous

    I read through many of the comments in this forum and I feel your frustrations..
    I went twice through the JB process and this is my advice to the JB’s users:

    1) Before JB, reset all settings on your phone and restore as new phone (configure only Wi-Fi)
    2) JB with b3 (don’t restore yet from backup)
    3) Install only the essential cydia Sources packages (never all sources)
    4) Install any apps and tweaks from cydia (as you wish)
    5) Now install your apple apps from backup

    My iPhone 4 runs stable with all the cydia’s tweaks & tricks

  • Chickenchowmien

    i had a tethered jailbreak on ios 5.0.1 on an iphone 4 for at&t. safari wouldnt work for me. i decided to install dolphin just as a work around. first time i ran dolphin it froze up, so i rebooted. after that, safari started to work, and so does dolphin. cydia apps ok as well.

  • Djvynl

    try turning off and on your i device. It worked for me when I got that error.

  • Djvynl

    You may need to select IPSW firmware in the extras section of Redsn0w. I got the same error and after DL the firmware and pointing to it before the JB, I had no problems.

  • Djvynl

    Make sure that you have your device in DFU mode, in extras point to correct IPSW and try again.

  • Djvynl

    i waited for the untethered jailbreak and my iMessage doesn’t work and either does my FaceTime… I’m pretty pissed off because i don’t even get the messages from my friends who have iMessage now… what a waste

  • Djvynl

    I had the same problem, what I did was backup my idevice, then do a complete restore in iTunes. Now it should be setup like a new device with nothing on it. Then go through the JB process again. Make sure to go into extras and point to the IPSW of your firmware. Some people recommend that you go to the ipad baseband, but I kept mine on 05.16.05 and JB with 0.9.10b2 and got a successful JB. No more sim errors. If you need to unlock, just run Ultrasn0w after the successful JB, then restore your backup. You should be good to go. Hope this helps.

  • Djvynl

    Had the same problem, delete your Safari download manager in cydia, your safari should run again after respring. At least that is what happened to me. Hope this helps.

    i also have the same problems but i got it to finally working again i think this is one of the bugs…so what i did for my 3gs i jailbroke it on a tethered jailbreak using snowbreeze then installed corona. at first there was no service. turned airplane mode on and off for couple of times then after when its trying to search a signal…. i use dialer dialed number sign “#” while searching for signal. took me a couple of try’s but afterwards it has a signal on T-mobile. i hope these helps u

    If you’re still having trouble gaining access to your iphone via OpenSSH try selecting the SSH icon. Refresh via the Refresh icon, you will notice it turns off or its not even enabling SSH. What is working for me is to enable SSH (but dont refresh) hit the Home button to close OpenSSH and then power off your iphone. Once rebooted and you have opened OpenSSH “SSH” should be green giving you access to your iphone…Works for me

    Ahmed , I have jail broken ios 5.0.1 ( cdma ) the problem is that caller ID doesn’t appear , just numbers , though they are already in my contacts .

  • Vinhlong7

    once restored as new phone, how can u set up JB and then restore from old phone ? thought u have to set up before hand on ios 5.01 ?

  • Itzikman

    One should have a backup before starting the process.
    After JB, synchronize your iPhone with iTunes to get back your apps..
    Don’t do a restore after JB.

    Help

    Notes:
    Iphone 4
    Phone was completely charged
    Updated to 5.0.1 (9A405)
    redsn0w_win_0.9.10b3
    Itunes 10.5.2.11
    Home + Power buttons were working fine

    I have already jailbroken one phone with the lastest version of redsn0w.

    I updated the second iphone 4 to 5.0.1 (9A405) with itunes and proceeded to jailbreak it with redsn0w. In the process of jailbreaking, while the phone was already in dfu mode, redsn0w encountered an error. I did not encounter this error the first time I was jailbreaking. Trying to get around this by restarting the program did not help so I thought I would restart from the beginning by exiting dfu…

    In the past, I have usually been able to enter dfu mode by holding home + power for 10 seconds then releasing “power”. I have also been able to exit dfu and boot normal by holding home + power for 10 seconds and then releasing “home”.

    In my attempt to exit dfu, my phone did not restart like it usually does, the logo popped up and then went blank. The problem is that it is currently not responding, is not being recognized by my computer or itunes as a phone, nor is it being recognized as in dfu/recovery mode. The phone was fully charged so I know it is not a battery issue and it also has working control buttons

    Any advice?

    Have you tried jailbreaking it again?

    Same here. I really don’t want to go through a restore. Can’t we just dl a cydia patch or something, please there’s got to be an easier way.

    i haven’t jailbreaked this device before… my question is

    should i still download the pwnage tool to jailbreak my device?

    or i can just jailbreak my IP4 using redsn0w_win_0.9.10b3 ?

    thanks

  • Blahblah469

    I too am having problems with my 3Gs. Keep shutting down and restarting…

  • Bee

    same problem. Unless I uninstall Mobile Substrate and Safe Mode Substrate (which almost all tweaks require including ultrasnow), the jailbreak always boots to safe mode.

  • VR

    so right now there is no stable JB for 5.0.1?

  • SBF

    *** IF YOU STILL HAVE iBOOK CRASH PROBLEM HERE IS THE SOLUTION ***
    (Reference Source: Google Search & A Genius Guy)

    1) install (if you have already delete and re-install) ibooks from itunes (do not open it !!!)
    2) install ibookfix2 (from Cydia / insanely repo)
    3) respring your device
    4) reboot your device
    5) install Sbsettings (from Cydia / big boss repo)
    6) Open Sbsettings
    7) Open System Options (at the bottom / in System Wide Options) 8) Open “Fix User Dir Permissions”
    9) Press “Fix Me”
    10) Press home button

    THAT’s it :) Enjoy….

  • Chasecp714

    Jailbroke once, cord came unplugged midway through the part that takes place on the device. now everytime i try to startup, the loading circle thing 1. goes around for a few seconds, 2. freezes in one spot for a second, 3. makes the beep noise the ipod makes when plugged into itunes, and 4. does stepes 1-4 over again….. now i cant startup, so i cant shutoff. im stuck in a midway limbo of the ipod struggling to turn on. tried re-jailbreaking it, and forcing dfu mode, but half the time the jailbreak screen with the list of white commands run through the screen, stops and says ERROR, and half the time it works but i just end up with the same problems 1-4. i cant restore on itunes because it doesnt recognize it plugged in, and it wont startup, so i cant even shutdown. any help at all would be helpful so i could at least get it to startup again. anyone at all??????? please :(

  • http://twitter.com/supermariokart Duffjr

    I’m playing around with an easy fix now, but I don’t have any luck running redsn0w again. I assume your baseband is 6.15.00. If it isn’t, please disregard this fix:

    1)Restore iPhone to stock 5.0.1 using baseband preservation mode in sn0wbreeze from ih8sn0w dot com. Once restored, don’t touch any settings on the activation screen.

    2)Open up the new redsn0w 0.9.10b3, and install Cydia. Make sure Location services are disabled when you setup the iPhone. If you accidentally touch Enable, you need to restore again.

    3)Once setup, go to Settings, and enable Location Services again. That should fix the issue.

  • iphonegek

    just restore ur phone to the update 5.0.1 and re-jailbreak it again with redsn0w 0.9.10b3. If you do the way you refer, it would cause malfunction of jailbreaking the phone.

  • iphonegek

    did u use redsnow 0.9.10b3? If you did, so all u need to do is Hold down power button and home button at the same time to reset the phone until apple logo appears and everything is ok. Because that was what happened to me.

  • neo5814

    please help i jb my ipod touch 4g 8g with redsn0w 0.9.10b3 and now i am having problems with game center cause i cannot change my status:( …………………..hellllllllllllpppppppp….

  • Grid

    You need to get it unlocked by the sounds of it mate. And 4.3.3 will have a baseband not compatiable with ultrasn0w (unlocking software). Did you get it on contract or did you buy it second hand? If you bought on contract just ring up 3 and they will unlock it for you for around £15. If you got it second hand…your stuck mate they won’t unlock it unless the original owner asks to. Then there is only one way but its too expensive I mean £80-£100 expensive

  • LeanderV

    hye, I have an Iphone 3G S and I updated to ios 5.0.1 and used the first jailbreak redsnow b1, the problem I have now, is that I don’t have any connection from my provider.. could this be caused by the fact that I upgraded my baseband? Because I have no connection at all. So I Wcan’t text, or call anyone. I can update to ios5 and jailbreak all I want and it works , but i never get any connection. PLEASE HELP, because if i can’t text or call anyone I’m basically stuck with an expensive ipod touch. PLEASE HELP ME, why don’t I have any connection with my network. I can’t even go on the internet, only when i’m at a wifi spot. What should I do??? And i know that there is a new redsnow but the new one fixes other bugs, nothing that has to do with connection problems. PLEASE HELP

    Ok, I have a Verizon Iphone 4, I restore to IOS 5.0.1 through Itunes. I didn’t backup anything. I tried Redsnow 10b1,10b and 10b3. Phone just boots as normal, will not jailbreak. Now, I can’t even get Itunes to restore it again so. Keeps giving me errors. I tried using the tiny umbrella to force a restore through but that won’t work either. Anyone else having problems with Jailbreaking a Verizon Iphone4 to 5.0.1?
