Jailbreak iOS 5 iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPod Touch (HOW TO)

iPad 2 NOT currently jailbreakable on ios5

we are all WAITING FOR IPAD 2 JAILBREAK!

Is iOS 5 GM, not the iOS5 that was released today?

i had already jailbrake with the 4.3 can i do this way you explain?

The Final version of iOS 5 is the same as the GM iOS 5 that was released last week. This guide will work as a tethered boot for iOS 5

Does this support the unlock for 3GS with 06.15.00?

Official IOS5 today. Its the same build as the GM last week according to MuscleNerd

When iPad2 on iOS 5 will be jailbreakable?

will gravy sim work with iOS 5 , in case BB;s like mad one- or when we will install IOS 5 so BB will change and it will be unlocked already, plz tell me,, ALLAH may peace be upon u and all the human kind,

Why do you start the article and explicitly say this guide can jailbreak iPad 2, then below that you say it’s not for iPad 2. I’m starting to think it’s just fishing for search engine hits

sorry but i dont understand, it means that i can jaibrake and continuo whit the aplications that i had whit the jailbrake?

when untethered will be online

does ios5 bb change?

If I install the tethered jb, will this prevent me from installing the untehered jb when it’s released?

and untethered?

IS THAT BB CHANGE?? I HAVE AN UNLOCKED IPHONE 3GS

IS THAT BB CHANGE?? I HAVE AN UNLOCKED IPHONE 3GS

whoever isnt happy with this jailbreak is a douchebag. Be grateful for it, don’t take it for granted. the team spend hours on it. you guys try to jailbreak

is there safe with this version of redsnow? I mean all new features not to be problem?

Ipad 2 ios 5 Jb

Start Itunes in Admin mode. (Right click on the icon and run as admin)

Start Itunes in Admin mode. (Right click on the icon and run as admin)

no

Not yet

NOTE: iPad 2 is not supported in this jailbreak. Jailbreak iPad 2 is supposed to be jailbroken within few days along with the iPhone 4S bringing untethered iOS 5 jailbreak.

read the post before asking

This is a very bad article.
You need to change the title, Very misleading.
There is no iPad 2 JB/iPhone 4S JB yet…….. For those people that have an iPad 2 or already got their iPhone 4s (Other countries besides US)… It’s unjailbreakable at the moment. Hold on until a JB comes out, Which should be soon.

i can´t JB 5.0 with redsnow, somewhere in the process my Iphone 4 give me a error during JB, and after a while give me a message “giving up”… what i am doyng wrong???

how about gevey is it working with this JB ??

At the first attempt the cydia icon didn´t show up at screen, and then i did the jb again, and then the error begin….

can i jailbreak iphone 4 ios 5 ?!!??!

I have iphone 3 G can i install ios5 and can i jailbrake 3g

What I’ve been trying to find out is this:

I have and iPhone 4 with iOS 4 jailbroken. I have a lot of jailbroken apps and want to upgrade to iOS 5 but don’t want to update if I’m going to lose everything. Any advice?

Why does the title say “iPad 2″???? you just want people to read this article no matter what don’t you??? It’s not difficult to write “not ipad 2″ or something like that is it??

theres a cydia app called apt backup. it should reinstall all your cydia files after new jailbreak.
additionally download appsync from cydia.

3002 apple server overload. Try tomorrow or in the next days. It will work.

Yeah, 3G can handle it.
[edit] nvm. Only 3GS+

First…Just Open Redsn0w and select Jailbreak! no need to select any ipsw. after you install the cydia on your device, you can select the ipsw to boot it tethered.

I have a 3GS, baseband 6.15.00 and fw 4.1, can i update to ios 5 yet?

i have an unlocked iphone 4 .. can i update to ios 5 and jailbreak later or this will do me problems ?

Can i jaulbreak ipad 1 with ios 5 with this method??

Would a 3GS with old bootrom still be tethered?

Can you change your linkbait title if it doesn’t support the iPad 2?

i assume you are just fishing for web hits since you have ipad 2 in the article heading. please dont do that, its low class. “supposed to be jailbroken in a few days” doesnt mean its jailbroken nor does it mean this method will work.
i will believe it when i see it. there is Z E R O proof right now that there is even a tethered jailbreak for i[ad 2 or 4s, so … what ever.

i bet people would shit if i started posting stuff around the net that i had a tethered or untethered JB for ipad 2 and 4s ,,, doesnt mean a damn thing… where’s the proof.

Quick help: I have iPhone 4 4.3.3 Jailbroken.  To upgrade to iOS 5, do I connect with iTunes, Download & Upgrade, then get on redsn0w 0.9.9b5 and let it jailbreak?  Just need to confirm, first time i’m doing this tethered.  Thanks in advance!

I followed the instructions completely but for some reason i do not get the itune connect screen, mine just boots straight in, i even tried rebooting the device still the same. Also Cydia does not work for me. A white icon no mater how many times i try to open it it crashes

Try holding down both home and power buttons for 20 seconds. If it reboots, restart your computer and restore your iphone.
Let me know if you have anymore problems

Restart your computer and try Just Boot. If that doesn’t work let me know

That should do it

Let me know if it doesn’t.

Can i unlock?

Look at my past posts

Got it, technology is beautiful.  It worked nicely.  Instructions in my original post CONFIRMED.  All other instructions posted out there work well.

I have the same problem, anyone have a solution?? I haven’t installed anything from Cydia except appsync5.

I keep getting stuck in safe mode over and over. But still are stuck in safe mode over for the 4th time in a row now. Could it be that I restored from backup after restoring to factory settings? and that I had ios4 jailbroken?Anyone got a solution??

uploaded the ISO 5 last night

run boot just tethered in redsnow make sure u select ur ipsw before doing so

If I have a 3Gs with jailbroken iOS4 on it that I’ve backed up on my computer hundreds of times (and I don’t plan on updating the software), when I download content onto my new 4S (with iOS5 pre-installed) will the backup I’m using from my old phone brick my 4S?

it fucked up for me to but i ran the hole proccess again and it worked

i think im going to wait for a few months untill ios 5′s jailbreak tweaks and everthing els has been updated and just stick with 4.3.3 for now

it should not brick it, however it will probably say that the the backup could not complete because the software version of the back up is too old.

ran it three fuckin times!!! pissing me off…

Redsn0w keeps crashing while jailbreaking 3GS, just restored to ios5 pls help

Can Jailbreak Possible for baseband 4.10.01 if i upgrade it to ios5

my phone is on ios4.2.1 with bb4.10.01 can i jb it by upgrading it to ios5

i just tried doing the iphone 4 5.0 jailbreak, the icon came up on my phone, but now it wont start up, it just has a picture of the apple, the loading wheel and then the apple again. PLEASE HELP ME IM REALLY WORRIED!!!! its connecting to the computer but it wont show up on itunes so i cannot restore it back to factory settings! HELPPPP!!!

So is the best way to fix that to restore on my 3gs, use the backup of the same software on the clean software, back it up again, and then use the clean backup for iOS5?

Nevermind I got it. Dont think I was putting into DFU mode properly

how unlock iphone 3gs ios5,jailbreak,no network so shitt,tru all sims cards,any ideas???,or wait for Redsn0w 0.9.9b5 windows edition,Davidas

any ideas???? thanks

17.151.36.30.   Apple’s official server  helps for errors 

try just boot

before rebooting again you have to choose the gm software again

me too!!!!

I am in exactly the same shit..

It’s happening to me too. I think it’s because the Cydia apps are not yet updated to iOS 5 and that’s what is screwing everything up. If anyone has a fix please let me know. Don’t want to restore again.

Same issue here. 3GS BB 06.15.00. Updated to IOS5 with RedSn0w (Mac) 0.9.9b5

Thanx a lot boot tethered worked…cydia is working and so is safari

i do everything right but when my phone comes up it has cydia – but a white icon and keeps crashing, any ideas? please!

ive done it over 5 times, i get the cydia app but it keeps crashing on me (white icon) ive tried rebooting it and everything, dont know what tgo do

same im in the same stuff, ive tried the run boot thing but it doesnt work, ive got a white iphone 32gb are you supposed to take the sim card out?

you have to tether reboot your phone and cydia should work, did you use a mac or windows to use redsnow ? i need one for windows but they havnet put a link up for it

This worked like a champ!!! After the jailbreak, had to do the boot through the software, then once it is back up I have Cydia! Woot!

Please help – im using my ipad 1 version 4.3(8F190) jailbroken. Inspite of following your instructions, each time i try and jb the firmware, ios 5 does not get installed. It takes me back to 4.3. What can i do?
do i need to connect my i pad to itunes and restore settings before performing this process ? or can it be done directly /??

Why does Cydia keep freezing/crashing and why is it in safe mode?

Type your comment here.please help me !!!

You need to download AppSync for iOS 5.0+ from Cydia

Why do I get stuck on exploiting limera1n?

I can’t find it in cydia. do I need to add a certain source

Never mind I got the source
Thanx

Does any body know an iTunes /app store p roxy??
I cant download anything from them without a p roxy
Sorry for putting a space in p roxy, cause I can’t even write that…..

what would be the new baseband if one upgrades to iOS 5 ??

Jailbreak and thetering went perfect.. went on cydia.. started to download SBsetting & lockscreen calendar. it did download and since the “reboot” it’s tsuck on the apple logo… like 10 minutes already the iphone doesnt want to power off… that sucks any help?

I have a 3GS with BB 6.15.00 . How do i upgrade to ios 5 and unlock? Currently i am on 4.2.1 . Can i directly upgrade to ios 5 then jailbreak as stated ?

You need to boot tethered again

thanks

pls i just jailbreak my iphone 3gs using redsn0w 0.9.9b4 ios 5…. but i its writing no service… i have no network reception

Put it in DFU mode and plug it into itunes and restore it

Same thing happened to me, I updated my 3gs and successfully did the jailbreak but i can’t get a network signal.

did you unlock after jailbreak ?

Hi Amy. i don’t believe so I only followed the steps above. Can you point me to a link on how to unlock?

Whenever I want to switch on my iPad, it stucks on Apple with blank blackground. Could someone help me?

Do I need to boot tethered everytime I want to switch on my iPad?

https://cydiahelp.com/ultrasn0w-1.2.4-released-unlock-iphone-4-3gs-on-ios-5/
if it works, dont forget to post here !

This is what a tethered jailbreak means. Every time you power off the iPad, you must connect it back to your computer and run redsn0w again to make it usable. Just keep your battery charged and don’t power the ipad off and you’ll be fine

it should be something you downloaded.

I’ve jailbroken my iPhone 4 with ios5 but the cydia app didn’t get installed. Or at least the jailbreak went through without any other issue as in it didnt look like it failed. Please assist? Should i just run the jailbreak again?

betwing step 4 and step 5, when preparing jailbreak data preparing ramdisk then crash.. how i fix that???

Yes this is tethered jailbreak. Every time you will have to boot via redsn0w.

you only need to boot tethered when you either power down your ipad or the battery dies.

you need to boot tethered after you jailbreak

uploading first stage… then, “No identifying data fetch”. What the heck? Help..

thanks I did my AT&T 4G works great

So, can you bypass the iPhone 4′s activation with the jailbreak? I have no sim card. Short story; iPhone sold to brother; removed sim card; gave to me; used as iPod on iOS 4; upgrade now needs to be activated. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Everything works, but when i sync with iTunes, all cracked apps are deleted.
Appsync 5.0+ in Cydia and sync with iTunes in installous are on.

can i upgrade without changing my baseband. i want to unlock to tmobile service.

Before this my phone was already unlocked on 01.59.00 but I wanted to update to iOS 5.
The article said “In case you’re on iPhone 4 on baseband 01.59.00, you’ll need to preserve your iPhone 4 baseband to prevent upgrading to higher baseband in order to get your unlock on iOS 5.”

So I followed the Preserve iPhone 4 Baseband While Upgrading To iOS 5:
https://cydiahelp.com/preserve-iphone-4-baseband-while-upgrading-to-ios-5/

Upon following that article, it relocked my phone. Which lead me here. I followed this article, but after doing the Jailbreak iOS 5 Tutorial it makes my iPhone 4 get stuck at the opening spinning load, which does not even spin. I tried turning it off after 25 minutes, which it will not.
This means I CANNOT ENTER DFU MODE to do the “Just boot”

Someone please help ASAP, as I am without a phone.

Works great on my old bootrom 3gs. untethered jailbreak.

is it working for ipod touch 2g?

Specs: iPhone 3GS (with iOS 4.3.3), SN 84937, firmware 06.15.00, T-Mobile SIM card.

I downloaded the iOS 5.0 IPSW, installed it with iTunes, has jailbroken it using the newest redsn0w 0.9.9b5, it worked. I have followed the step for the Location Services because I have the 06.15.00. I have restored my phone data using iTunes, then installed ultrasn0w 1.2.4. I have still no service, I don’t know why. Any idea to help to unlock my iPhone? Thanks

iPhone 4 on 01.59.00 baseband, already unlocked. Did the “Preserve iPhone 4 Baseband While Upgrading To iOS 5″ which worked but relocked my phone (not sure if that is supposed to happen). Then started to do the jailbreak as instructed by the “Unlock iOS 5″ tutorial. But after doing the “Jailbreak iOs5 Tutorial” it gets stuck on the spinning load before I can get to do the “Tethered Boot iOs 5″

Help!

I am having the same problem. I am freaking out

it does a half spin every 10 minutes of so…

let me know if you figure anything out.

I found this solution on another website and it corrects the no signal problem for the iPhone’s running on 06.15.00 baseband.

I had the exact same problem as you. Took me about 12 hrs to solve this.

This is what i did.

1. Connected the phone to my mac and launched iTunes.
2. Removed the sim-card from the phone.
3. Put the phone in DFU mode to do a recovery with iTunes.
4. When itunes was done and the phone had booted I started redsn0w (Using version: 0.9.9b5).
5. Put the phone back in DFU-mode so i can jailbreak it.
6. When I got to the select options in redsn0w, I selected “Install Cyda”, “Install ipad baseband” and “de-activate phone”
7. Waited for it to finish, and after it booted up I got the message “No sim card inserted”. I then inserted my sim-card
8. Continued with the ios 5 setup on the phone and had no issue activating it nor did I get “no service”-message after setup was done.

This did the trick for me so I could activate my phone and use it agian. Hopefully this works for you too.

I resolved it by going into DFU mode and using redsn0w to boot tethered

I had an odd problem while trying to jailbreak and then unlocking my iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.0.1 and baseband 05.13.04

By mistake I had entered into the Recovery mode instead of the pwned DFU and that created a lot of problem as I had clicked on the Restore (with the cutom IPSW).

However, when I finally was able to get it out of DFU and got it restored with the Custom IPSW and jailbroke it, I found that there was no Cydia (neither white nor the usual brown) anywhere. However, when I search for Cydia, I found it and was able to download ultrasnow 1.2.4 and the unlock was a breeze! A point to note here is that my iPhone 3GS was previously unlocked using the jailbreakme exploit.

The second strange thing (but fortunately for me), I can boot and reboot my device without tethering! I guess it would have something to do with the old bootrom, but the phone was taken much later than September 2009, so I am not sure how this is working.

Just want all of you to know that in case you also enter the recovery mode instead of the DFU, then press and hold both the lock/unlock button and home button for around 15-20 seconds and the phone will shut down. You can then put it back in DFU mode and then proceed.

Does anyone on here “read” the comments before posting your own problems I saw the same thing on here every other post, every annoying. anyways is anyone else getting errors while refreshing/updating cydia, mine has only errors and I cant even add a new source it says POSIX Operation Timed Out. I mean I’ve seen this before but not every time on every source.

how do you get into DFU mode if you can’t turn the phone off from the loading circle?

I have successfully installed ios 5 and Cydia, but whenever i open cydia and in the sources section trying to add a source, cydia will just close, again and again, even when trying to search something, cydia also get closed…any idea whats wrong?

So jailbreaking won’t bypass activation if you don’t have a sim card?

i m trying to upgrade to ios 5.0 and having severe problem with restoring my 3Gs with baseband 5.12.01 unlocked with ultrasnow on 4.3.3. i solely depend on hactivation and unlocking by ultrasnow, so the only option of restoration available to me is pre-jailbroken custom ipsw with snowbreeze. okey
i created ipsw with snowbreeze 2.8b8. no problem
started restoring with itunes. initially error 3194, after 2-3 attempts—> success
itunes part of restore completed.
and now my iphone is stuck at apple logo with progress bar ( u know wat i mean??)
and now i am here looking for help.
i have tried restoring form scratch atleast thrice.

help meeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did exactly like you said but I got a SIM Not valid error now when I’m at step 8…

yes whats the deal? Do I wait?

did it ever go away?

Hi Amy, even i got 3gs with 6.15.00. Have u upgrade ur phone, plz let me know

I upgraded and realized WinterBoard and Installous cause the phone to go into safe mode. None of them work on the ios 5. It’s a big mess. I’m going to try to downgrade back to 4.1
For those that are running on the iPad baseband (6.15), once you upgrade to ios 5, it’s very difficult to go back. Right now its not worth it because nothing is working anyway i.e. Winterboard, Installous, etc….

I tried this on my ippod 4g and it worked but then i couldnt open up settings or cydia once i closed it, now im trying it again except my ipod wont turn off, what do i do?

i bought my iphone from at&t is d carrier’s sim required during the process because i dont have at&t sim anymore

After a while a found another solution, just do the same I was doing at first, but I just selected “Install iPad baseband” and “Install Cydia” and it worked. With “Deactivate phone” I had an error because of my T-Mobile SIM card. No need to remove the SIM card either. Thanks a lot for the tip!

I simply put my sim card in – then pull it out b4 it connects to itunes – that bypassed activation for me

cydia is not running in my io5 after jailbreak. it appears but crashes once its launched

hello, i do Jailbreak fine but can’t run cydia even after run with just boot,and i can’t save shsh because win 7 take error and exit from redsnow ,what i do for fix this problem?
my device : ipod 3G

but is your phone unlocked ?

iPhone 3gs old boot, 6.15.00 BB, no service in blegium please help!
I have done everything they said here.. Been trying for 4 days..

i did all this but my phone is stuck at the apple logo ?

I have the same problem! Please let me know if you get it sorted!

I have iPhone 4 on 01.59.00 baseband, already unlocked. Did the jailbreak as instructed by the “Unlock iOS 5″ tutorial. But after doing the “Jailbreak iOs5 Tutorial” it gets stuck on the spinning load before I can get to do the “Tethered Boot iOs 5″.

Help!

iphone 3gs NO SERVICE. can someone help please

boot tether with redsnow again, and it should work

But I do not have a sim card. At all. Nada.

Hm…everything worked except for the no service part and the fact that I cannot restore from backup.

I jailbroke my 4g iTouch, but everytime I turn it off and turn it back on it gets stuck on the apple logo and then I’d have to reboot it. Can anyone help?

Follow the instrucions in top of the comments Tethered Boot iOS 5

You can only start your divice with your laptop/pc

i followed all the steps .. but i am unable to install applications in my ipod touch 4g .. do i need to update the cydia

hi there,

download a program called tinyumberella, open this, save shsh, then start tss server, now go into sn0wbreeze and up the top left of the program is ireb, now run ireb and put this into a pwned dfu state for itunes, now finally point your custom sn0wbreeze to itunes, voila.
Do not at any point close tinyumberella.
you have to run each program in this order.

tinyumberella first then start tss server, pwned dfu mode with ireb, if this doesnt work use the redsn0w dfu mode, dont jailbreak with redsn0w though, the reason you have to start the server is when itunes opens tinyumberella diverts itunes servers to cydia.

Do exactly these steps to do this, if you dont you will get a part jailbreak, ie white cydia and white safari icons will shut down when you load them, do all this and your phone will be perfect, do not install baseband 06.15.00 which is unlocked for life but it screws up your gps.

HELP PLEASE

dose anyone know why itunes would pick up my number and my number shows up on my iphone but yet i cant get any signal? this is after i have updated my 3gs to ios5… thank you

If using Redsn0w 0.9.9b4, you need to go to extras and choose iOS 5 ipsw file (you will need to download it). Also select to install ipad baseband on 3GS and all will work fine. Just go to cydia and install untrasn0w to unlock. I had the same problem figuring out why I had no signal.

Hey man,

thank you so much for this finally have my baby up and running again and my life is complete… Hope more ppl stumble across you method and just to let everyone know this does work for windows as well…

Thanks again

I tried this on my iPhone 4 running 5.0. Everything went fine, but when I go to Cydia, the icon is just gray and the app won’t launch. It starts to, the screen flickers black, and it crashes immediately. I’ve done it twice now, yielding the same results. Also, when redsn0w is running the directions to put the device in DFU mode, the countdown is slowed to the point that it goes into recovery mode instead. Each second is more like 3 in the countdown.

Here is one question for you though…
Have you figured out how to get itunes to recognize your iphone and how to dfu mode your phone to make cydia work?

put it in DFU first then plug it in and boot tethered. If you dont boot tethered it will not show cydia properly

i tried on iphone 4 ,everything was well but when i updated ultrasnOw,at the time of rebooting it got stuck in apple logo

Just boot tethered in redsn0w in the extras menu

i did it once it started.
each and every time i have to tethered boot when i will switch of my phone

do i have to do this every time i restart my phone

Every time i restart my iphone 4 it got stuck in APPLE logo. i travel alot if my battery drains out then what will i do ?plz help

iphone cant by pass activation page

It’s a tethered jb it’s always going to do that if you phone reboots

Can anybody help me? what do u do when they say ‘exploit failed’??

iPhone 3GS frozen during jailbreak. It’s got the “loading circle” icon, but frozen. Any tips?

Why does it crash when it is downloading the first stage :’( i never go through

what does it mean when it says Exploit failed?

hi there, I successfully jailbroken 3gs running ios5, but cannot ‘boot tethered’ – redsnow starts running after dfu, but I keep getting ‘exploit failed’ message… please, any help would be appreciated… thanks a lot!

how to update 4.2.1 to IOS 5 on jailbreaked iphon4

same here

itune

i installed cydia on my iphone 4…bt when i install omni stat nd rebooted my iphone it is not…working..pls hellp me…

i got stuck with apple boot logo…pls help what to do./..

Yeah, it works with some issue like winterboard not working and location service make the network toogle. You can upgrade if you want. it works absolutely if you read the guide well.

You are mentally retarded. If the iPod touch 2g stopped getting support mire than a year ago what makes you think you can jailbreak it on iOS 5 or even upgrade it to ios5? I swear some people are just soo stupid!

I swear do u idiots not even read the article? Just boot tethered.

nice
work for me

3GS (iOS5) able to complete Jailbreak procedure as well as ultrasn0w procedure but my network still ‘Searching’. My 3GS has the following Modem Firmware after upgrading to iOS5 – 05.16.05 (MC135LL)

I initially got everything working including unlock but when I tried to sync iTune in the other machine, I started losing the baseband (probably) and after trying so many times, I am unable to unlock though I have Cydia installed.

Any help or suggestion is appreciated

NICE

why does my ipod touch 4g enter dfu mode but after it enters dfu mode, redsnow will crash after trying to upload first stage. then when i reopen it and select the ipsw file and click the jailbreak button from the main screen exploit failed error. pls help how do you fix it.

I did. I followed the directions exactly. It’s not on a reboot either, but the initial jailbreak

Man I’m desperate !! I JBed to iOS 5 with BB 05.16.00 and unlocked just fine, set up the phone, it was working just fine and then it suddenly shut down, o rebooted, I don’t know because now the screen is black, can’t get the Apple Logo. It won’t boot at all. I managed to put it in DFU mode, tried to go back to iOS 4.3.5 with iTunes 10.4 but I have a bunch of errors (1600, 1601, 28, 1618). With Redsn0w it won’t reboot. In iTunes it doesn’t even recognize the Serial Number. I’m on Mac and I’m about to cry right now… Please help me at least boot the phone ???

hello there,
im new to this i updated my ipad one and i tried using my mac and windows but in mac during the 3 step in dfu mode there connect to itunes appear, what can i do and im doing the instructiion as it says , plz help

what is supposed to happen I got the pineapple load thing but there is nothing else new?

when unlocking my iphone 3gs after the jailbreak (which worked perfect by the way when i read everything properly) it says 2could not activate mobile data network2 and idea what i can do for this to work… nice one…

did you get it booted?

nope. After installing iTunes 10.5 and trying to restore both custom and original ipsw (got nothing more to loose), I was always getting Error 28. I checked on the web, many suggest I let the battery drain completely (or remove it but I’m not equipped) before trying to install again. If you have better ideas in the meantime, please comment. I’ll post again within a few days to confirm wether or not it worked.

guys if you have any problems and nothing works just restore. if you updated to the ios 5 and are trying to downgrade it will not work b/c you updated itunes and the baseband changed so your best bet is to restore to ios 5. i tried to downgrade and all i got was error codes every time but when i restored to ios 5 it worked i tested this on my iphone 4 and ipad 2. and keep this in mind this is a TEATHERED jailbreak which means that you will have to boot your idevice using redsn0w and choose the option JUST BOOT TEATHER.

what carrier do you have?

try hacktavating by using a custom ipsw using snowbreeze then restoring it using pwn dfu mode

the same thing happened to me. all you neeed to do is run redsn0w again and make sure “install Cydia” “Install ipad baseband” and “De-Activate” at all check off and continue to the redsn0w instructions after you hit next thats the only way to fix this

its a theathered jailbreak you have to “just boot teatherd now” from Redsn0w

the same thing happened to me. all you neeed to do is run redsn0w again and make sure “install Cydia” “Install ipad baseband” and “De-Activate” at all check off and continue to the redsn0w instructions after you hit next thats the only way to fix this

Everything works except it says “No Service.” I modified a SIM card to micro SIM and then called my carrier to have it activated. It’s been an hour and nothing yet. Do I need to change any settings on my phone or install anything through Cydia?

relying on unlock with foreign carrier now, AT&T won’t unsimlock

Got it working. I didn’t realize I had to go into dfu and boot tethered on the first boot after jailbreaking

I have a jailbreak iphone 3 with iOS 4 install on it. Can i use this tutorial without bricking my phone ?

something I forgot to mention : when trying to restore to stock iOS 5 (only, NO_BB won’t even do that), when “Preparing iPhone for Restore” message, to screen turns white for a few seconds, then black again and Error 28 appears

OK last info and I give up. Ran iRecovery to see what’s going on, I think it’s pretty clear :
“Got USB
Error -9 when setting configuration
[NAND] findNandInfo:291 No NAND Detected
[NAND] _initRawNand:406 [FIL:ERR] FMI – No recognized NAND found!
[NAND] h2fmiInitVirtToPhysMap:577 CE Map failed!”

hope the battery drain will fix that but I doubt it…

What to do if you mistakingly update your Jailbroken and Unlocked iPhone 3GS (06.15.00 BB) with stock IPSW…. How can I reflash it ?? so that I can have the custom IPSW on the phone??

after i jailbreak my iphone 4 iOS 5.0_9A334 with redsn0w 0.9.9b4, my installous keep “API ERROR”, then i restart my iphone, when turn on stuck in white apple there.. why like that?

Stuck on apple logo..it is tethered jailbreak

i did that too by accident, and than i found out you can downgrade to 4.1 using custom firmware through iTunes and than rejailbreak it with redsnow and add the option to iPad bb 6.15 again than after that get the new redsnow and create a custom ipsw of iOS 5 and than rejailbreak it. but for me after i rejailbreaked it to iOS 5 ultraslow did not unlock it so i ended up redowngrading again to 4.2 to keep the unlock and I’m still researching why ultraslow doesn’t unlock iOS 5 when it should.??? hope this helps you

which iPhone what software version? bb?

have you tried using redsnow to JUST BOOT from the extra menu in the latest version of redsnow? see if that works…it won’t loose the unlock if you use redsnow to just boot

have you tried using redsnow to JUST BOOT from the extra menu in the latest version of redsnow? see if that works…it won’t loose the unlock if you use redsnow to just boot

Its stuck on the loading circle. The circle isn’t spinning… I am using iPhone 4 1.59.00 and I got ios 5 on it but am trying to jailbreak it for ultrasn0w!!

Put it in dfu then run ireb from snowbreez and then downgrade to 4.33 will work.

After dfu do you guys let the ireb run

Hi just to stir the pot i have an iphone 3gs that currently enefits from the ipad 6.15 baseband for my unlock …upgraded to ios5 using redsnow and i have cydia installed…it seems to me that my phone is in an untethered jailbroken state any ideas how this could have happened? I have cydia on my ios5 and can restart phone fine without a computer can open cydia insta packages add sources and the like. I use ul trasnow for my unlock any insight as to why this happened ? My only guess would be is that my phone had cydia before ulgrading to ios5 and on first startup after jailbreaking i selected restore from backup rather than setup as new iphone or restore fro
Icloud … So could the restore have caused this? Loving the accidental incident tho fully unlocked jailbroken 3 gs not requiring computer to boot as it boots like normal..

Do not use hack activate this is the problem

Hi does any 1 know can i restore back to 4.1 or any 4+ firmware how can we change baseband ???? m done with this jailbreak n ios 5 plz help

how to i hacktivate my iphone 3gs ios 5 gm????
i have jailbroken it with redsn0w…

yup thats the tethered jailbreak im gonna wait till an untethered jailbreak is available

Ok take your iphone and hold the sleep button and the home butgon together , don’t release it until you’ll see your iphone in DFU mode( the cable and itunes) then you have to restore but at least your iphone back, hope it helps for you ( it’s take maybe half or more than 1 hour pls don’ t give up!!

In my experience make sure you have closed snowbreeze, redsnow etc then open iTunes.
If you still get the error disconnect iPhone then reconnect and try again.

You must have the old bootrom.

i get stuck in the loading circle??? what can i do???

does cydia supports with ios 5 for iphone 4

im scared if i update my ipod to version ios 5 from 4.2.1 if i will lose all my apps that i downloaded

Hey! Two things:

1. Anyone experimenting antenna issues or signal issues when installing ultrasn0w?

2. I have an iPhone 3gs and for me, the jailbreak is untethered. I have turned the phone off like 4 times and it still turns on without booting tethered with redsn0w. Is it untethered for someone else?

Dude, it’s untethered for me too. And i don’t hve ipad bb but i do have a 3gs…

Thank youuu!!!!!

When the untethered jailbreak of iphone 3gs will come

why does my ipod touch 4g enter dfu mode but after it enters dfu mode, redsnow will crash after trying to upload first stage. then when i reopen it and select the ipsw file and click the jailbreak button from the main screen exploit failed error. pls help how do you fix it.

Invalid SIM after all the above steps. What should I do?

I will check this tonight and get back to you whether i have 359.2 (new) or 359.3(old) bootrom….this would likely be the issue i guess. although for anyone wondering the same i will confirm tonight.

dear lalji

what baseband are you currently on..from your iphone go to settings>general>about>modem firmware …mine is the ipad 2 baseband 6.15 and i am currently using ios5 jailbroken using most recent version of redsnow and unlocked with ultrasnow…basically download the 3gs .ipsw firmware file from apple…loaded it into redsnow and used the preserve baseband option..this creates a new firmware file in the same directory with “No_BB” befoer the filename (you will restore with this file not original .ipsw firmware file) then since i have 3gs apple must sign all firmware updates done to iphone so modified my itunes host file (do google search to find out how if you dont know)…put phone into dfu and restored to the firmware i made that doesnt have the baseband udpate…it will read No_BB before filename….restore worked then on first boot of the ios 5 iphone i selected restore from backup rather than restore from icloud or setup as new iphone….and restored using a backup i had made before upgrading to ios5…now my iphone has all old apps and ios5 …. now you can jailbreak and or use cydia to install ultrasnow in order to gain unlock to use phone with any carrier. hope this helps

sync them to itunes…

Thanks for the tip Sean, unfortunately I’m using Mac…

Thanks Madetita, the problem is that I can seem to get to the normal recovery mode (the cable and iTunes logo), my screen stays black, it will not boot or keeps booting/rebooting I don’t know. In redsn0w for example when it comes to Reboot, it never does, whatever the action. I can put it in Pwned DFU mode but when trying to restore the phone won’t boot either… I just stay sitting on my boot…y watching the black screen… I’ve spent from 4pm to 3am trying everything I could… no success, but I won’t give up, man will always win against machine )

Go to Cydia and uninstall winterboard then reboot ththered again

does this work on windows xp

same here don’t know why

so simple easy to do iphone 3gs ios 5 np at all stright forward first attempt just follow instructions carfully and ur ok

what is wrong with you why do you comment on your self.

hi man, i’ve followed all the steps here. I have a jailbroken iPad1 running on OS 4.3.5 and now I’ve been trying to upgrade it to iOS 5. I’ve done all the steps but right when the pineapple is done with what it’s doing, the system reverts back to being in the apple logo cycle and won’t boot. Please help

cydia don’t work

I am using iphone 3gs/6.15bb/4.3.3. I used this guide step by step but now I cant get network on my phone. I installed ultrasn0w 1.2.4 but it still doesnt get the network on it. Any suggestions?

Download 4.2.1 from everything apple pro and restore ur iphone to that software. Restore to custom firmwire provided. Then oped redsnow 0.9.8 i think? Itll be in the discription, and avigat to 4.2.1 original fw. Then select install cydia and install ipad baseband. Once the progress is finished update to ios5 using snkwbreeze 2.8b8 and use the “simple mode” after succesful installation choose dont enable location services, u can enable it after. Worked for me atm im iphone 3gs 6.15 ios5 with full signal

Reopen redsnow. Put ur idevice to dfu mode and press boot tethered

Right click on redsnow and click run as administrator.

It keeps telling me it cant find the IPSW and to manually find it what do I do

1. Yes, I am also experiencing the signal issues after upgrade. It holds, then drops for no reason.

2. This jailbreak is tethered for all devices except the iPhone 3GS “old bootrom”. You must be a lucky owner of the easiest jailbreakable iDev.

i have an 3gs i updated to os5.0.. using snowbreezev2.8b8 i jailbreaked it.. and using ibooty i reboot.. and after that using cydia i downloaded ultrasnow 1.2.4.. still i am not getting any network or signal..

Hello, I currently have an iPhone 3GS, baseband 05.13.04. I keep seeing that people want to downgrade to this, does that mean that installing iOS 5 will automatically upgrade mine to the new 06.15 one? It seems that the new baseband upgrade, in addition to the jailbreak, is what is causing network issues for many.

Would I be okay updating to iOS 5 and jailbreaking, would that keep my seemingly desired baseband intact, or would it update it and then give me network issues, like others are experiencing? I’ve been a little hesitant to update for said reasons. I don’t recall if my baseband has upgraded in prior updates in the past, though I’m still running 4.0.1.

To all who own iphone 3gs on 6.15.00 baseband and rely on ultrasn0w to unlock: If you want to update to ios 5 with the unlock will preserving your baseband with the custom firmware here is what i did and it works perfectly:
1)First download Sn0wbreezev2.8b8(It will say it was made for ios 5gm but ios 5 final works fine as well. i used ios 5 final)
2) Open Sn0wbreeze v2.8b8
3)Create a custom firmware via Sn0wbreeze by following the on-screen instructions. (you may close out of Sn0w breeze after it creates the custom firmware if you prefer redsn0w)
4) Put your device into Pwned DFU mode via the on-screen instruction on Sn0wbreeze(if you didnt close it out) or on redsn0w 0.9.9b5 or 0.9.9b6( to see the instructions via redsn0w click extras and youll see Pwned DFU. click that.)
5) Open Itunes 10.5(with your iphone still plugged in) and hold shift then click restore and a window should pop up asking you to specify the ipsw or something. choose the custom ipsw you created over sn0wbreeze. (mine was named “sn0wbreeze_iPhone 3GS-5.0.ipsw”) It should restore normally.
6) this custom firmware was already jailbroken so you dont need to jailbreak it over redsn0w. Due to me having an old-bootrom i luckily got a untethered jailbreak. If you have the new-bootrom like most ppl do then open redsnow, click extras and click Just boot tethered.
7) after you have your iphone all ready with cydia open it up and install Ultrasn0w 1.2.4 Enjoy your unlocked iphone!

when i try to do the last part to make cydia work i recive this message when i put my ipod in DFU :“Couldn’t download required IPSW Please check your internet connection If your internet is working, you may need an updated version of redsn0w Error with SHSH blobs”

cydia does not show up on my ipod touch 4 tethered boot on iOS 5 Redsn0w 0.9.8b4

Snowbreeze: used… Cydia: done…. ultrasnow: done… signal: invalid SIM

What should I do? please help!!!… Iphone 4, iSO 5, firmware: 04.11.08, bought at At&t, uses in Claro-Nicaragua

thanks

I did this on my iPhone 3GS and it worked:

1. Put your iPhone into DFU mode
2. Do a Restore from iTunes
3. Jailbreak using RedSn0w 0.9.9.b6 with the following options:
– Install Cydia
– Install iPad baseband

Good luck.

I have a 3Gs running 4.3.5, I think its the old boot rom my serial has a 3,4,5th digit below 939, and I want to try this new jailbreak, but not upgrade to IOS5, can I do than and get the advantage of the untethered jailbreak that folks are speaking about?

I read through the posts, and I am hearing mention of untethered, but not clear if I can stay at 4.3.5 and get it, or if the best is to go to IOS5 with my 3Gs and will it still be an untethered Jailbreak? Advice, thoughts comments please, thanks in advance folks.

just download sn0wbreeze v2.8b8 to check what bootrom you have. You will also need the iOS 5 for the 3GS to use to find out your bootrom. Old bootrom = untethered.

Currently ultrasn0w doesn’t support your iphone 4 modem firmware (baseband)

does it work on iphone 4 ois 5?

im stock on litle pineapple logo tethered part… i have iphone 4 ios5.. thanks

help me iam stuck in a black screen.

help me zamiri

Does upgrading to iOS 5 automatically upgrade to 06.15? I have 05.13.04 on the iOS 4.0.1. Should I care that it will upgrade it when jailbreaking or is the older baseband preferable?

my phone is not accepting the sim card even after successfully jailbreaking..m tryin since yesterday but no success..my phone is not even entering the DFU mode..plz help me..

even after succesfully jaiilbreaking..i cnt use my phone..plz help me out.

Well i checked, and I have new bootrom, so I guess I will wait un the untethered of resnow for jail breaking the ios5 and stay at the 4.3.5 that I have for noe.

I am having this exact same problem. I have been without my phone since last Friday. I would really appreciate any help that anyone may have…

every time i try to jailbreak my ipod touch 4th gen with iso 5, but when i click browse and click on the ipsw, it says unable to recognize specified ipsw. whats happening?

Thanks for the reply…
but for some reason without downgrading it…I was able to install iOS5 and its working fine as of now…

Thank you, thank you, thank you… It works and Cydia successfully installed.
Anyone trying to JB your IP4, follow the instructions to the T and you cannot go wrong…

Well done dev team

IMA TELL ALL OF YOU RIGHT NOW IF YOU WANT TO JAILBREAK YOUR DEVICE UPDATE IT TO IOS 5 DOWNLOAD REDSNOW 0.9.9b6!. THAN FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EVERY VIDEO GIVES. I REALIZED WHY IT HASN’T BEEN WORKING AND IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE VERSION OF REDSNOW U USE. I USED ALL OF THEM AND INALLY GOT TO ONE THAT WORKED 0.9.9b6. Trust me of it doesn’t work just try it again with a different version of redsnow

Did you boot tethered after the jailbreak? What version of REDSNOW are you using?

Use REDSNOW 0.9.9b6

I did the same but it show no service on left corner

My iphone 4 is stuck on boot mode (with apple logo) after restarting device from installing winterboard. Jailbroke it from ios5 following the above instructions. Restored it to original state then jailbroke it again. But keeps getting stuck in boot mode after respringing it from installing the winterboard from cydia. Can i get some advice on how to go about this problem? Thank you

Oldirty9: Look go to Redsnow & go to extras and it will say Boot follow the steps there & you’ll be good.

Redsnow jailbreak program or the redsnow webpage? Can’t seem to find the boot instructions. I successfully jb’d the iPhone but once I install winterboard and respring, it stuck at boot screen.

This also works with the iPhone 4 4.11.08?

Wow, the intelligence level, and grammar on
this board is astounding, and disturbing…
Not saying I’m better than anyone, just making
an observation of the obvious. And thank you
Dev Team, for my Jail Broken and unlocked iOS 5
32gb 3GS! Didn’t work at first, but it was my fault.

i have the same problem as Oldirty9 if i reboot the iphone in any way it will get stuck apple icon screen and i have to go through recovery mode and jailbreak again any way to fix this or should i just wait fot the untetherd jailbreak ?

it says my iphone doesnt support unteathered options … what do i do?

thank you so much it worked by ali

this is so simple and easy method, if users cant do this , they are dumb !!!!

where do i download the ipsw file

Do I have to do a tethered reboot EVERY time I reboot from now on? What happens if i dont?

WHen it boots back after the apple screen mine is at loadind but it froze. What do it do ?

you don’t need an IPSW redsnow picks it up for you from apple instantly like the guy said

Hey Steve,

Please help me. I have an iPhone 3GS 32GB. jailbroken. I want to update it to ios-5. Please can you narrate steps how to do so it goes well in one go. I didn’t get the steps as above as I have never done jailbreaking before. Please help.

Thanks

I jailbroke my iphone 4 it successfully however im having a major problem now. It crashed while i was out today and now I cant get it to do anything. I tried the “just boot”, “pwnd dfu” , and “recovery mode” but i cant get it to be recognized by the computer or show so much as an apple sign. I also noticed there is a very dim red light which I believe is the proximity sensor that is now emitting visible light… no idea where to go.

iOS5 already updated from Apple. Error 1604 when trying to Shift Restore using Sn0wbreeze IPSW..

I hope some one can help ,i try to do this jail break on my own, what i did first, was download the iOS5 from itunes, and put it on my phone, then downloaded the redsnow application(0.9.9b6), ran the program did the first dfu and completed that jail break part, then re did it to do the teather, but i screwed up on the dfu, and i just started to figure it out, now my phone powers on and stuff but the the cydia doesnt work, and i try to go to the second step after the jail break but it will not let me do the dfu mode, i hode the power button, swipe to the right to power off, give it a few mins, and then when i try to do the dfu mode, soon as i push the power button it starts to power up, so when i go to the next step of holding the home button, it dont work! what do i do, is my phone screwed, it the a way to remove the jail break??

Just update as regular, and jailbreak again… Well i’m not sure…

Thnx Abdul but it doesn’t work for iOS5 full i Guess, as Beta 7 did not upgrade the Baseband. I have Already updated to iOS5 using Apple update. I either need to go back to 4.3.5 (facec error 1604) or 5.0 Custom (faced error 3194).. Any Comments?

I have Already updated to iOS5 using Apple update. I either need to go back (shift+restore) to 4.3.5 (faced error 1604) or 5.0 Custom – Sn0wbreeze (faced error 3194).. Any Comments?

If someone can help me here. I have 3GS & I have upgraded to IOS 5 & jailbreaked it..The problem is i am using a different carrier sim and hence i am not able to activate my home..So i am not able to go further and check if its jailbreaked successfully & i am not able to unlock the phone also as i am not able to access Cydia..It would be great if some one can suggest me a turn around here to unlock the phone!!

I’m using a third generation ipod touch on ios 5, I jailbreaked it but I turned it off accidentally and now I can’t get it into DFU mode or reboot it or anything and it won’t show up in iTunes… It’s stuck on the apple logo. What do I do know? D;

i did all the steps . but when i go back to reboot it tethered . it says “No Identifying data fetched” what does this mean ? & how can i fix it ?

i have a ios5 jailbreak and the ibooks app dont open did anyone know something

after doing this i get a white cydia app and my safari and is not working, what to do?
on 3gs and mac

OK I finally got it back alive today. It was indeed a hardware problem, so I opened it, disconnected the battery for an hour, then Fixed the Recovery Mode with Redsn0w, ran iRecovery to set the auto-boot to true and then restored it with the right ipsw. I reboots tethered but no more loops. Thanks to all for your help and messages. Cheers !

you need to reboot tethered and it will be there

ibooks does not work yet with ios5 Jailbreak.

I can’t open cydia after updating to ios5. what i can do??

Today I have jail broke using semi tethered then used the reboot and everything works great safari, brown cydia Im so happy thanks team hope this helps others with this base band

my iphone4 now stuck while loading after apple logo. what should i do? please help

How do I do that?

plug it into ur laptop or computer and put it into DFU mode (press the home and sleep button for 10 sec then let go of the sleep button and keep on holding onto the home button until itunes recognises it and ur iphone is restored. By the way this wipes everything off your iphone so make sure u have it backed up on ur laptop or computer.

Hi,
I’ve boot tethered successfully a few times but the last time I did I pulled the plug before the process was finished. Now I can’t go into DFU mode anymore. When I press both home and sleep button I get the apple logo. I also tried the below but it still doesn’t work.

“plug it into ur laptop or computer and put it into DFU mode (press the home and sleep button for 10 sec then let go of the sleep button and keep on holding onto the home button until itunes recognises it and ur iphone is restored. By the way this wipes everything off your iphone so make sure u have it backed up on ur laptop or computer. “

cydia keeps crashing at loading…wassup?

I have a noob question. I already upgraded my iphone 4 to IOs5 and I don’t know my baseband. Right now when I open my phone it always says that sime card is not supported. I just want to know if this guide will also applicable to iphone 4 gevey sim? Thanks a Lot

it wont cut on….did i break it..?

What I did was, instead of using Redsn0w on my Mac, I popped my iPhone into windows, used Redsn0w, adn viola! it worked.

if i jail brake my iphone 4 on ios5 i only want to jailbrake not unlock it how do i only jailbrake

ha

hey thanks for the advice. but yesterday i finally got my iphone 4 into the home screen after it crashed on apple logo.
I do these simple steps:
> while it loading (or crashed), make sure ur idev is still plugged in into ur laptop or computer
> close redsn0w n reopen it
> and then click EXTRAS — JUST BOOT
> and then click “next”
> now u have to put ur iDev into DFU mode (press n hold together the lock button and the home button for 10 sec and then let go the lock button and continue holding onto the home button for 15 sec until redsn0w recognizes it and start to tethered boot ur iDev)
> and now u wait for ur iDev to reboot and a pineapple icon will pop up in the screen
> if this is ur first time after restoring it, so u hav to input several data which are : language, country, and also agreement , etc.
> then it will go to the home screen.
and now enjoy ur tethered iDev with iOS 5

ooh by the way, the only problem now is I still don’t have any signal from my sim card. it still come out with “NO SERVICE”. any advice?

Top of the page, where it says ‘ios download’

Hi,

Can someone please let me know is this thing working??? looking at the comments i get the feeling this is not working at all! My phone is 3GS and baseband 05.13.04. iOS 4.0.

Please can someone advice me on this? Thanks.

C

Fantastic!!

i have the old redsn0w that is asking me to find the ipsw file

No Actually it’s so easy to jailbreak your iphone .
also if you want to upgrade to iOS 5.0 you can and you’ll still be able to get an untethered jailbreak

Just choose the right version of RedSn0w & everything will be working…..

As catalizer told you ,UltraSn0w doesn’t support iphone 4 basebands except for 01.xx.xx so If you want to unlock your phone you have to use gevey sim because it’s the only way.
Note: once you upgraded your baseband(modem firmware) you can’t downgrade it back.

The Only iOS you can find is 4.2.1 for the iphone 3gs , you can’t install a newer software on it.

You need to download the ios 5 ipsw for your iphone then follow the tutorial shown above.

Thanx for the reply!!! could you let me know what will be th right redsnow version please ??

Can anyone know how to unlock Iphone 3Gs /IOS 5/ 5.16.05 ??

Please help (and be gentle, with layman terms) Also, I can’t find my iso 5 version to point to it as stated above. I just got this phone from someone and had to restore at itunes and this is where I’m stuck at.Thanks

Hold power button + home button to get your device in DFU mode and downgrade to iOS 4.x.x. Guess we need to wait until dev team fixes this completely.

Guys, Question.

I have a 3GS and with 4.1 BB 6.15. Can I go to IOS5 and like above?
And is Step2 the ios5 upgrade in itunes needed?
Can I also try extra select ipsw the downloaded IOS5 from apple and go further with step3?

I tried above first but can’t get Cydia good for unlocking.
Its still going into configuration the iphone on ios5 and asking activition.

Got a iphone 4 version 4.0.1 BB 1.59.00 is their an untethered unlock for ios 5 if so where can i find the info?
Thanks

There is not currently an untethered unlock or jailbreak for the iPhone 4 with iOS 5, or any other iPhone. It should come out eventually, just be patient.

when I followed the instructions everything happened as planned except the cydia icon never appeared on my screen. During the jailbreak it didnt appear as a white icon and during the boot the pineapple during reboot but still no icon
any ideas? thanks!

I have iphone4 that I recently updated to IOS5 and that’s when the trouble started. The phone is locked for AT&T but with Gevey card I was using it with Tmobile with no problem. After the update it will not work for Tmobile. So I just did a successful jailbreak but the phone is still not picking up Tmobile signal (no service). Please help.

My 3g ipod everything is okay, but when trying to open cydia it does not open … what can I do?

i downloaded 0.9.9b7 and did it but when i rebooted my device it wouldnt get out of recovey form

I want to be sure before I mess anything up… I have a 3GS running 4.0.1 and modem firmware 5.13.04 and the OLD bootrom.
I want to upgrade to iOS5 and UNLOCK it using WINDOWS.

3> Will this method mess up my baseband?

Please help me out. I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

So I use redsn0w but then it gets stuck on activate iPhone for the whole iOS 5 setup thing :/
I need to unlock it and such

PLEASE HELP

Banging my head against a wall here. So sorry I decided to try this out. I come up in safe mode for mobile substrate every single time now. I can’t take advantage of much of pretty anything that lead me to JB in the first place. No themes. No SBSettings. No Infinidock. No Folder Enhancer. I’m on an iPod Touch 3G 64gig that now has all the functionality of a non-JB device, except I get a crash on the springboard every time I boot, and I cannot reboot without hooking up to my laptop and running redsn0w again

Uninstalled Semitether. Reinstalled Mobile Substrate. Only JB installs I had done before trying SemiTether were Folder Enhancer and Winterboard. Tried reinstalling them. Ran redsn0w and did a fresh JB. installed Mobile Substrate yet again. Every single time I boot, I get a springboard crash and drop back to safe mode.

Installed Semitether again exactly like the video shows. Rebooted. Shutdown. Rebooted again. Still crashing. Still safe mode. Even tried reinstalling semitether, rebooting twice, then uninstalling semitether while at the same time reinstalling mobile substrate as someone commented below in the comments.

Really don’t want to do a fresh iOS 5 install and restore from backup, and can’t fix my problem now and don’t know what else to try. I knew the risk going in, but I didn’t expect to have problems, since I have never had problems before with jailbreaking and adding new tools to my device. Now I just have to figure out how to fix my errors.

mine dosen’t boot back up… i wish i never did this! it’s just stuck on this damn loading screen

Jailbreak it again with redsn0w then insert Gevey sim card.
it will work again

worked great

can i download IOS 5 if my iphone is jailbreak??

updated mine with jailbreak thanks!
i cant get off activstion thou to load cydia so i can unlock the network. carrier cause i prefer 02, and it wont activate.. (i didnt know it was locked, and i dpont know what carrier its locked too)
is there a way to skip activation?

Wish I never did this! Pain in the butt. Not working as I expected and having all the issues as others have mentioned. Should have stayed with the older iOS 4 jail broken

Perfectly working!!!

stuck at exploiting with limera1n

pls assist me – i already follow the instruction above but having problem when restarted or shutdown … when loaded safari, mailbox and cydia not working, so then i go back to redsnow plugged follow the instruction …restart then it will work …..

so when the system shutdown or restart those apps will not work again.
and then same thing i will do …

Please help. I’m having trouble with Tmobile service. I went through all the steps and phone says ‘searching’. Are there some setting in Cydia that I can make to help find the Tmobile service. Has anyone else had trouble with Tmobile or did I do something wrong with the unlock process?
Thanks in advance!!

as long as you use redsnow to jailbreak it its not gonna pick up tmobile anymore your gonna go back to being on the AT&T network.

Hi…I have an iphone 3gs with ios 5 and I tried the redsn0w jb. Lost safari but was able to connect to Cydia. Tried to download BossPrefs and when I did, well, let’s just say the problems began. Phone is frozen on apple icon but will go to blank screen for a few seconds then back to apple icon. I have tried a hard reset to no avail. Itunes will not recognize my phone and would really like to just go back…jailbreak is not for me. Any help will be very much appreciated! Thanks so much!

Yes you can Jailbreak untetherned if its a old bootroom with snowbreeze.
Just download snowbreeze latest version,
(I think its tetherned with redsnow)
You can unlock it since snowbreeze will not upgrade your baseband

Yes you can jailbreak untetherned with snowbreeze if it is a old bootroom

iPhone 3GS with IOS 5.

System hang straight after jailbreaking… In the end, it became recovery mode. Got to restore phone back to last back-up. Kind of sad that it didn’t went well…

U need to restart the device using the reboot in redsnow. Take a chill pill!

Does this work for iPad 2 also?

whats with semi theteread?

iPhone 3Gs
After following the instructions, I get by the JailBreak process. I see the Pineapple, “Install Bundles” screens. After it reboots, it goes to the Apple Screen, but the loading circle appears then it freezes with the Loading Screen. I’ve tried many times.

I have iTunes 5.0, I used the iOS 5 here and the stock one. I’ve tried both “Extras->Select IPSW” and also straight “Jailbreak me”.

Any assistance.

Does anybody know how I can jailbreak my Iphone 3GS thats already been updated to 5.0. Also most require me to enter dfu mode but my sleep/power button is not working. Any ideas. Im confused and stuck.

Hold the power and the home screen at the same time

Should we do the essential updates to Cydia? Last time I did this it restarted my phone and I had to reinstall everything from scratch.

Tried the tethered jailbreak. It was unusable to me because I couldn’t get a 3g signal anymore. And the Edge signal was spotty at best. Guess I’ll have to wait until a final untethered JB is available for ios5 on iphone 4.

Looks like this is just a problem with an outage in my area. Just my luck. I hit an outage at the same time I jailbroke when I never get outages in my area. Cost me *LOTS* of time because I thought it was the jb so I did a full restore. Yuck!

i have same problem!!i dont get any idea ti fix

when i open Cydia for the first time, it says preparing files please wait. After a couple of minutes it comes up with a message about memory space then goes black. It then loads up and ive lost all my iOS apps – what is going wrong?

omg.i dont know what happened to my phone. i did the hold button thingy procedure and now my phone can’t on?

Please tell me if cracked apps wont run on this jailbreak… What the hell i do with this jailbreak !!!!

When I did, Just boot after I installed some apps, in order to get rid of the white icons, I put it in DFU mode and then it got stuck on it and it said Unexpected error. What did I do wrong?

Wow, as always, everytime went alright! Thanks! (Jailbreaking is easy also haha )

I am having a similar issue on ipad 1,1. Did the tethered jb (although I had already done a full restore and sync to ios 5 prior to jb). iPad now boots untethered into os without issue and from what I can see retains all functionality, however cydia icon remains white and will not launch. I’ve tried to do tethered boot from dfu and untethered boot, neither will allow me to utilize cydia.

Posted below as well but in reply to someone with a similar issue but wanted to ensure it’s viewed:

after tinkering a bit, seems like I just had to try doing tethered boot multiple times. Eventually ipad booted with pineapple logo at startup screen. Once I unlocked screen, icon still showed white at first followed by what appeared to be a temporary freeze. Trying to get past it, I pressed the lock screen button which eventually worked, and one I unlocked cydias icon was present and I was able to use it. Hope this might help some people

How has everyone got it so wrong? Frickin’ sweet job Dev-Team

Got an ipod touch. Just installed ios5, but every time i try to use redsnow, it crashes and i end up having to do a full itunes restore. I have tried all of the tips below, all with the same result. Please help

I have sorted it now. I was trying to do this with the copy of the IOS5 i got directly from itunes. Once i got the one from this site, it worked a dream. Thank you

Another big problem. I have Jailbroken my ipod touch 4g and got the white cydia icon. I am now trying to do the 2nd stage (re-boot after jailbreak). I went into extras, clicked “Jst Boot” Redsnow gets to the “Uploading first stage” bit and crashes. This has now happened 3 times in a row. Any help pls.

Help! I upgraded my verizon iphone phone to ios5 and JB using redsnow a couple weeks ago. no issues and everything was working fine until this morning…..at some point phone must have shut itself down while it was in the holster and attempted to reboot? because now all I have is a black screen (it almost appears the phone is off, but if you cover it up, you can see there is a glow to the screen and the phone is on) I’ve tried everything to turn it off so that I could re-boot tethered (since this JB is tethered for now) and the phone is totally unresponsive….I’ve held the home and power button down for several minutes with no response….I’ve tried entering DFU….nothing….Itunes does not recognize the phone…It is dead…..What are my options? was hoping maybe when the battery finally dies, I could try to reboot tethered then and restore and just wait until an untethered JB is out…….any suggestions??

having same issue ,after jailbreak ios 5 , cydia logo doen’t work , please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive done the jail beak, and it was white, so i hot just boot tethered. Now i have the cydia icon, when i click on it it asks user hacker or developer. And i select user and hit done. Then cydia just closes?

Hi all, I just bought a brand new iPod 4G (8GB White) whit already installed iOS 5. Can I jailbreak it with this redsn0w? And if I can, will do any problems appear?

How did you jailbreak ios5 while maintaining baseband 4.10.01 so the gevey still works?

i just went through the whole process and successfully downloaded cydia.

Hi,

After the light cydia icon, I’ve tried to get back into DFU mode but I’m getting a ”no identifying data fetched” message. My cydia is still light and is not working. Please help. Thanks in advance.

nvm got it thanks….

NICE! everything worked out great on my IOS5 Iphone 4. First Cydia came out blank, then I hit the “just boot” button in redsnow, everything worked as described here. After installing Installous 4 I had to boot again via redsnow (“just boot” button again). My first apps are rolling in at the moment

Help. Want to restore ipad to original state. Don’t need the jailbreak any more because the tethered reboot is too painful. But itunes keeps coming up with “device cannot be rebuilt” error. Any guidance?

Just to clarify, I am running 5.0 and it is an iPad1

My iphone 4 already has the 5.0 version. do i still have to download it ? also it keeps saying “no identifying data fetched”

i have jailbreak my iphone 4 with os 5.0. my cydia working just fine. but i can’t open my safari. Any help please? thank you

i think you’ve gotta unlock it using ultrasn0w from cydia

was it an unofficial unlock before this

did check whether your baseband was compatible with redsn0w… like 6.15.0 is compatible

My jailbreak thru redsnow is stuck after phase 2. it says waiting to reboot. I’ve been waiting for 20 minutes now. HOw much longer?

NOw it just dont seem to jalibreak past the 2nd phase and the phone keeps restoring itself

this DON’T works on iphone 4s, they’re trying to make able to jailbreak the iphone 4s

I am on 5.0 and have not upgraded to 5.0.1 iPhone 4 Verizon. Can i still jailbreak without doing a restore? as it wants to upgrade me to 5.0.1. Would love to JB but i read its probably not the best idea to upgrade 5.0.1. Thank you.

i use the above method to jailbreak my iphone 3GS with Redsn0w 0.9.9b7 and ios iPhone2,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw. and simcard is not recoqnised also iphone is hanged after i play games sometime.

Please Help////

Hiii! I have the same problem! I jailbroke my 3gs and it was working perfectly for a while. I was playing apps and everything. Then my phone died, now it wont turn back on.. It flashes white and only shows the apple logo. If i plug it in it says they detect my phone is in recovery mode. If i restore it will it delete my newest update of Ios5? Please please help! I am no good at phones @ all!

I can’t send pic or get them. WHY

hi im running iOS 5.0 on iphone 3gs, successfully jailbroken (tethered) installed tweaks like barrel , sbsettings, etc etc. however.. when i installed camerabuttons it asked to reboot device. so i rebooted then used redsnow again to boot to tethered jailbreak… after tether boot is done, all my tweaks are not working and i cant find any of it under settings menu..

pls help..:(

Hi Guys,
I have a Iphone 3gs that is jail broken and unlocked. I am scared that if I update the ios to 5 it will lock again and I won’t be able to unlock it again. I have tryied to use redsnow like the tuorial but my phone just freezes and I don’t get all those white data line go up. Is this the best way for someone like me?

same thing happened to me!!! i dunno what to do… any luck??

Dumb question i cannot answer from google searches… if i jailbreak my iPhone 4 on iOS 5 with a tethered jailbreak, will i be able to make untethered without having to restore everything?

Does anyone know a way to Unlock iOS5? I’ve tried many ways but failed, it jailbreaks but doesn’t get unlocked after I install ultrasn0w. I tried whole last night but no luck, any help is appreciated.

i have completed jailbreak process to my IPHONE 3GS IOS5 baseband 05.16.05 i used redsnow 0.9.9b7 and iPhone2,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw as instruceted on a website, i have Cydia in white and when i go back to just reboot on redsnow it gives me the message UNRECOGNIZED BUILD. PLEASE CHECK WHETHER YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF REDSNOW AND WHETHER THIS iOS VERSION IS SUPPORTED YET.
Please could sumone let me know what steps to take to have it work or what am i doin wrong. I am jailbreakin to unlock it to use with other mobile provider. Please help thank you for the time…

Hi, I have jailbroken my 3GS t: iOS 5.0.1 – bb6.15 using sn0wbreeze custom ipsw (untethered as on old boot rom). all working fine. the only problem i’m having is the signal…… I’ve installed ultrasn0w (several times now) but still not getting any signal. have tried airplane mode on/off but still no joy. The sim has a lock on it which i think could be the issue but cant find anything to back this up. any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

I’m in the same boat!! cant find any info for this problem on the net bar redoing the intial JB steps (which i have done a few times – each with no success….)

Thz you so much

Cannot get a signal, old bootrom iphone 3gs 6.15 bb and jailbroken ios 5.0.1 in snowbreeze. Installed and uninstalled ultrasn0w and restarted device multiple times, even re-jailbroke it but to no avail… help anyone?

My iPhone 4 hasn’t been charging since I installed Installous for ios 5!

unlocked 3gs frozen at “Waiting for reboot” when i try to do a tethered reboot with redsn0w. Cannot get it to work. Looks like others are having this problem. What can we do???

My Iphone 4 IOS 5 is not detect simcard! what is wrong?

You need to select the IPSW file manually from the Extras button.
Just like you did when you started the jailbreak process.

having same problem, tried multiple thing and still no results. how about you/

after following your steps.. my iphone 3gs keeps on freezing.. so i keep on rebooting it but still it keeps on freezing

my 3gs is jail broken, wont activate ,how do i get past this ? help,,,

did u get it to work? I am having same issue.

Hi guys.

I really hope you can help me. I followed the guides to the letter, pointing to 5.0 instead of 5.0.1, tried just boot several times. But after jailbreak is done, and after doin just boot, my device is stuck with a ‘connect to itunes’ screen, and there is nothing I can do. I have iphone 4 gsm, and downloaded the latest ispw files and redsnow.
When trying to ‘just boot’ I get error: unrecognized build ffffffffffffffff70c71ebe7fe944ce
What am I doin wrong? Any help will be much appreciated

any suggestion that could really make my iphone works? hope to hear from you soon.. thank you

If you use redsn0w when jailbreaking tick install iPad baseband which is 6.15 . Then tick deactavate . Then that will fix no signal no sim problems .

can i boot tethered jailbreak not on my own computer? i have try boot the tethered jailbreak iphone4 ios 5 (my iphone) on my friend computer which the redsn0w_win_0.9.9b8 installed, but doesnt work… i also try copy my IPSW file to my friend computer from my computer.. is anyone of u hv the same problem? please help me…

when i go to jailbrake when it is all done it goes back to the apple

I downloaded the tethered version but I do not have to Cydia app…am I making a stupid mistake? Please help!

My recently jailbroken ipod gen4 went out of battery today(it switched itself off of course), now that i’ve plugged it in to my computer, the only thing i see is the apple logo. It’s been there for like..half an hour – totally frozen. I’ve heard that i should download some kind of program. Does anyone have any advice T^T. Please??? YoY

Hi guys – So here’s what happened for me. I have iphone 4. on 5.0.1. Followed instructions and got cydia onto phone but was just a white icon. Tried booting tethered a million times but never worked. So as someone here mentioned before, when your trying to boot tethered and redsn0w says waiting for reboot, just hit the power button (at the top) quickly, don’t hold it down just click it once quick and the little pineapple appears and now it fully works with cydia installed the lot!! try it out!!

no gevey sim does not work for that baseband and you cannot downgrade baseband. you will have to wait for new gevey to come out

I have an iphone 3gs. Baseband 6.15 ios 5.0 i used redsnow 9.9b8 i even did the ipadbase i tried to unlock it with ultrasnow and it didn’t work my friend told me that i didn’t jail break it right and i can’t unlock it either and i can’t reverse anything anymore. Is that true what can i do to unlock it for tmobile. What can i do n the phone it says version 5.01 and firmware 6.15

when it says waiting for reboot, unplug the cable from the phone and plug it back. should work

ultrasn0w does NOT work with 5.0.1 yet. wait for an update!!!!

ultrasn0w does not work with 5.0.1 yet. wait for an update!!!!

you need to download redsn0w and select “justboot now” that will fix it!

try pwned DFu in redsn0w

I have had an iPhone 4 for a year now. It works great and I never have any problems with it. Before this I had an iPhone 3g and it also worked great. This could be because I keep a very good case on my phone, I don’t throw it in my purse where it can be knocked around, and I just take very good care of it. Planning to upgrade to the iPhone 4s or wait for the iPhone 5. But my phone still works and looks like its new.

I performed this but for some reason my cydia icon appeared straight away without a tethered boot why is that?

i just jailbroked my ipodtouch 4.2.1 with greenposion and cydia dont seem to work any help

I have iphone 3GS that I jailbroke with ios 4.03 (I think that was the version) but today after a few months decided to update via itunes to IOS 5 and after update I get “COULD NOT ACTIVATE iPhone message”. Can someone please please help how to activate my phone. I have AT&T carrier.

If you just see comments with people struggling & ‘not working’, Commen sense tells you not to jailbrake. I love jailbrake But it just seems more fukkin hassle Than worth!!

i have 3gs running ios5..and i love the way i jailbreak it with cydia appears at the end..just follow the instructions and use your common sense..have a good day and enjoy..

I have done this many times in the past without a problem. I am currently using a laptop with windows xp versus other time I had vista. Idk if that has anything to do with it. Have anyone seem this issue. Please advise if you do. Thanks in advance.

after successful jail break i started cydia. cydia crashed and now im missing cydia, settings, and a bunch of other apps. any idea what happened and how to fix this? i tried the just boot option in redsnow but that didnt fix it. thanks

Hi guys hope you can help. I followed instructions from the jailbreaknation website. I got to what I thought was the end, my iphone was on and i opened it up. Cydia was there but I click it and it opens and closes straight away.

I’m running a 3GS with 5.0.1.

Any help would be great!

Hi Guys, I just wanna tell you all that I’ve just Jailbroken my iPhone 3Gs weeks 41 with cydia installed in my iphone, I dunno what went wrong but after jailbreak following all the instructions and method above, my iphone rebooted itself after the jailbreak process and it loads to the main screen without having to plug my iphone and boot using redsnow, I get good signal, cydia icon and all data and everything still in there, I try 3 times doing shutdown and turn on the iphone boots just fine without the help of redsnow, I try one time doing a reboot and still the same result (no need of redsnow)…I felt so great that it’s not a tethered boot but how come musclenerd said it’s a tethered boot but it is not in my case…just some info from me, before jailbreak my iphone was in version 5.0, modem firmware 05.16.05, i download the ios from the link given above and redsnow from the link given above as well…

and so I call my jailbreak an ‘untethered’ jailbreak…whoohoaaaaa…..i’m so excited.

Keep on fail reboot~~

Hello there! i have jailbreak the Iphone 4! bute how do i unlock the sim? helllpppp plissss

4.2.1 is older than god right now. But you really want to, rejailbreak. Don’t restore, just run the jailbreak again. That should fix it.

you have to open redsn0w. go to extras, then just boot. ALL WHILE DEVICE IS CONNECTED..(TETHERED) FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. VERY SIMPLE. THAT IS WHAT TETHERED BOOT MEANS. THEN FIXED.

I keep trying to tethered boot my iphone but the dfu mode fails everytime on my work pc…when i do a tethered boot at home on my mac it works just fine..why is dfu mode failing!?!?!?!?

please help! after upgrading to ios 5 and bb 06.15.00, i’m having no service error. then my summary tab on itunes is blank. i couldn’t see my phone details anymore.

If you have the old bootrom 3gs your jailbreak will always be untethered. Always

Use another computer to update

check ur 3gs i think it have old bootrom old bootrom is supported ut jailbreake bya that methode!

Hi Guys, I have exactly the same pb as the one of Philly-Albo, could you please help us?

Please help us, I got the same understandable problem!!

same problem here… No Service after jailbreak, network reset, reboot. Any help?

is it possible to sync the iphone after jailbreaking

try doing the same on another laptop or desktop as i had the same problem but when i did the same on another laptop the error did not come

mac is better as u hardly get errors but that hardly matters

Same problem here, iphone 3gs, 5.0.1. The wierd thing is i didnt even try to unlock, im on at&t and it still says no service, help?

i got the same prob as you and philly-Albo……i can not for the life of me figure this problem out

…wow idk how i did it exactly but i got my phone to get signal! i had the same problem as most people. after installing ultrasn0w i didnt get signal. ive been going at it for about a week or week and a half just trying everything possible to get it to work. here is what i think might have done it (like i said im not exactly sure how it happened i just kinda looked down at my phone after rebooting it and it said t-mobile) i unistalled ultrasn0w then reseted the network setting. then i reinstalled ultrasn0w and rebooted the phone…..if this helps anyone let me know. all i really did was play around with reinstalling ultrasn0w and resettign the network settings and rebooting. hope this helps guys.

biggest problem with these kind of problems no one ever re-posts about how they went about fixing it once they fix it

Yes. Jailbreaking just adds additional distribution channels for apps. It opens up (hence the term “jailbreak”) the walled garden ecosystem Apple has set up. There is an app available called AptBackup which will backup a list of what Cydia apps you have and bundle it with your regualr iPhone b/u.

go to cydia in your iphone then search for redsn0w and install it

right when it gets to uploading first stage it says redsnow has encountered a problem and needs to close PLEASE HELP!!! I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR MONTHS TO FIGURE THIS OUT

hello to everyone. ALthough i saw the devices that are supported for this update i still want to ask if this works for i phone 2g (yes i know it’s old). thank you

I’m getting the “Unrecognized build” error after jailbreaking and rebooting with redsnow. What can I do, so redsnow recognize it? Please help!!!

iPad (Original) 5.0.1 jailbreak with redsn0w , the problem is when i finished the jailbreak. and cydia was there. i rebooted my device, then nothing in the springboard, JUST newsstand.
anyone help me.??

just reboot your devide. it does that almost everytime… but once you reboot it wont happen again.

Hi! I would like to update my jailbreaked iphone 4. I bought it 1,5 years ago, It’s really slow, and slower day by day. First I would like to make sure I am gonna do well with the updating and after jailbreaking, because I don’t want to loose my mobile. What should I do? Connect with Itunes, can I update it with ISO 5? Am I gonna loose all my pictures and contact numbers? Should I save it first? Can I download the cydia to my computer, and follow the youtube video? Is It not gonna die, is it??

What IPSW would I use for Telus(CDMA) carrier ios5, 501 on 4G and 4S? Thank you in advance !

go where do download iphone 4 ios 5.0.1 Gm.IPSW??

Does this work for iPod touch too?

why do i keep getting “exploit failed”

Why don’t you whatch the Video guide above, you must be under tethered jailbreak, so need Just boot using your Redsn0w. In my case, I use Redsn0w 0.9.10b5c and un-tethered already. Hope its help!

Seems you are in the unlock requirement other than jail breaking, Please check if your baseband is supported by ultrasn0w. If not or you wrongly restore (baseband upgraded), means you can not unlock it anymore and must wait sometime in future, until your baseband is supported by ultrasn0w.
Hope it help.

I used to Redsn0w to jailbreak my iPhone 4.3 (8F190) BB 4.10.01 and everything seemed to be working fine, but when I put in a local sim (not from the original carrier, SFR) it gives me an invalid sim message. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

My iphone 3gs ios 4.1 (8B117) and its jailbroken can i upgrade it to ios 5.0? please answer me

Every time i try, i get an error saying something like “Certain operations like the A5 jailbreak are disabled. Install the latest version of itunes” and something else like “mobiledevice.dll”. Please dont say to try a different computer because i only have one. And dont tell me to install itunesmobile because it gave my computer a huge virus.

jailbreak again
