This is the first jailbroken iPhone 5

Unless Mossberg or Pogue knocked it last week, @Chpwn (Grant Paul) has the first jailbroken iPhone 5 which he posted to his Twitter account a few minutes ago. It is usually common courtesy to give Apple devices 24 hours before Jailbreaking but someone apparently couldn’t help themselves. More below:

Here’s the Cydia homepage on the iPhone 5:

Warning: Jailbreakers Should Wait Before Updating to iOS 5.1.1

Apple today released iOS 5.1.1. As usual jailbreakers or those wanting to jailbreak in the future should wait before updating to the newly released firmware.

We'll let know what changes have been made once the Dev-Teams have had a chance to examine the firmware. Hopefully, the exploitst used by pod2g are still applicable.

You can follow Limerain on @limerain_com, Facebook page , or RSS to be notified of any updates.

Update:
MuscleNerd is specifically warning iPhone 4S and iPad 2/3 owners.

"iOS 5.1.1 is out...jailbreakers beware! Owners of iPhone4S or iPad2/3 should stay away from it!"

Pod2g Posts FAQ on iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak

Pod2g has posted on his blog to answer some questions about the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 untethered jailbreak.

How could pod2g have an untethered 4S and dev teams still haven't released tools to achieve this at home ?
The exploit I used to inject the untethering files to the 4S relies on having a developer account, and can't be released publicly. It's the same reason why @MuscleNerd has an iPad 2 tethered jailbreak but couldn't distribute it. So, we need to find a distributable exploit to remount the system partition read/write and to set Corona files at the correct places.

Why A4 version of Corona was easier to release ?
Because a tethered jailbreak is a good way to install Corona!

Why don't you do a tethered jailbreak then ?
A tethered jailbreak also relies on an exploitable vulnerability that we still haven't found yet !

Earlier this week, pod2g posted that he had made good progress on the jailbreak for A5 devices and said with some luck we could expect a release in a week.

How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 3GS Using RedSn0w for Mac 5.0

These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS on the iOS 5.0 firmware using RedSn0w for Mac. 

This procedure will cause you to upgrade your baseband potentially ruining your chances for an unlock. Please wait until we have posted a tutorial on how to update to iOS 5 using a custom ipsw if you need an unlock. The jailbreak is also tethered for all devices except the old bootrom iPhone 3GS which means you will need to connect your device to the computer each time you reboot. Finally, it may be prudent to save your SHSH Blobs by following this tutorial before continuing.

If you want to jailbreak a lower firmware version you can find the appropriate tutorial here.

Step One
Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage

Download RedSn0w 0.9.9b5 from here and place it in the Pwnage folder. Likewise, download the 5.0 firmware from here and place it in the Pwnage folder. (Note: you do not need to download the 5.0 firmware if you are already on iOS 5.0)

Extract the RedSn0w zip file by double clicking it.


Step Two: (Skip this step if you're on iOS 5 already)
Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes. 


Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left. Now hold down Option and click the Restorebutton. Restore is preferred as it won't create any wasted space on your iPhone.


Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the 5.0 firmware ipsw. Click the Choosebutton to continue. 


iTunes will now update your iPhone to the new firmware.

Step Three
Launch the redsn0w application from the redsn0w folder we extracted earlier.


Step Four
Once RedSn0w opens click the Jailbreak button


Step Five
Plug your iPhone into the computer and make sure its OFF then click the Next button


Step Six
RedSn0w will now guide you through the steps to get into DFU mode. You can find more help with DFU mode here


Hold down both the Home button and the Power button for 10 seconds.


Release the Power button and continue holding the Home button until RedSn0w detects the device.


Step Seven
Your iPhone will now reboot 


Step Eight
RedSn0w will prepare the jailbreak data.


Step Nine
Select Cydia from the list of options and click Next.


Step Ten
Your iPhone will now be rebooted again and RedSn0w will begin uploading the new RAM Disk and Kernel.


Step Eleven
Once this is complete you will be notified that RedSn0w is done. When your iPhone finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so) it will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard.



BOOT TETHERED
Once you have jailbroken you will need to rerun redsn0w to boot tethered.

Step One
From the main RedSn0w menu click the Extras button.


Step Two
Select Just boot from the Extras menu to just boot tethered.

MuscleNerd Announces a Major Update to the RedSn0w Jailbreak Utility

MuscleNerd has announced a major update to RedSn0w that removes the need to select an IPSW and brings the ability to save and submit your SHSH Blobs to Cydia.

Will be pushing out a major redsn0w feature upgrade before my trip to Korea: http://is.gd/PMAdT1 (and look, no IPSW selection button!)

The new version of RedSn0w will be released before Monday. Rather than requiring ipsw selection, RedSn0w will now automatically fetch the important pieces directly from Apple (and caches them so that it never needs to re-fetch them again).

Check out the screenshots below and stay tuned to Limerain for more info and tutorials. You can follow us on @limerain_com, Facebook page , RSS, etc using the links at the very bottom of the page...

For those wondering, the new RedSn0w "won't auto-fetch the betas (since they're not public). You need to provide them (once)."

Don't Expect an iOS 4.3.4 Untether Anytime Soon

i0n1c, the hacker behind the jailbreak untether for iOS 4.3 - iOS 4.3.3, is telling users not expect an untether for iOS 4.3.4 anytime soon.

Don't expect a iOS 4.3.4 untether anytime soon.

In a way it is nice to see that Apple instead of merely fixing vulns add more mitigation checks. But for jailbreakers this suxx.

As we have already mentioned several times, do not update to iOS 4.3.4. Instead, use JailbreakMe to jailbreak your device on iOS 4.3.3. You can find instructions on how to do this here.

iOS Recovery Mode Can Be Enabled Wirelessly in iOS 5.0b2

Recovery Mode can reportedly be initiated wirelessly via RecBoot in iOS 5.0b2, says 9to5Mac.

You not only can sync your media wirelessly in iOS 5, but it appears you can enter Recovery Mode using 'RecBoot, Etc' from the Mac.

Unfortunately, to perform a jailbreak one must place their iDevice into DFU mode so its unlikely that the Dev Team will be able to use this to create a wireless jailbreak tool.

How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 3GS Using RedSn0w Mac 5.0b1

These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS on the 5.0b1 firmware using RedSn0w for Mac. Since iOS 5.0 has not yet been released these are instructions for developers only. This procedure will cause you to upgrade your baseband potentially ruining your chances for an unlock, it will not hacktivate so you must have your UDID registered with a developer, and it is tethered.

If you want to jailbreak a lower firmware version you can find the appropriate tutorial here.

Step One
Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage

Download RedSn0w from here and place it in the Pwnage folder. Likewise, download the latest 5.0b1 firmware from the iOS Dev Center and place it in the same folder.

5.0b1 (3GS): iPhone2,1_5.0_9A5220p_Restore.ipsw

Extract the RedSn0w zip file by double clicking it.



Step Two
Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes.



Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left. Now hold down Option and click the Restore button. Restore is preferred as it won't create any wasted space on your iPhone.


Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the 5.0 firmware ipsw. Click the Choose button to continue.



**Important: if you previously updated your iPhone 3GS to the 6.15 baseband you must launch RedSn0w and place your device into PwnedDFU before restoring to iOS 5.


Step Three
Once iTunes has finished updating your iPhone to the desired firmware open the Pwnage folder on your desktop and launch the redsn0w application from the redsn0w folder we extracted earlier.



Step Four
Once RedSn0w opens click the Browse button



Step Five
Select the 5.0 firmware ipsw we placed in the Pwnage folder on our desktop then click Open.



Step Six
Once the firmware has been verified click the Next button to continue.



Step Seven
RedSn0w will now prepare the jailbreak data



Step Eight
From this window you can select the jailbreak options you would like. Make sure Cydia is selected.



Click the Next button to continue


Step Nine
Please plug your iPhone into the computer and make sure its OFF then click the Next button



Step Ten
RedSn0w will now guide you through the steps to get into DFU mode. You can find more help with DFU mode here



Hold down both the Home button and the Power button for 10 seconds.




Release the Power button and continue holding the Home button until RedSn0w detects the device.




Step Eleven
Your iPhone will now reboot




Step Twelve
RedSn0w will then begin uploading the new RAM Disk and Kernel.



Step Thirteen
Once this is complete you will be notified that RedSn0w is done. Click the Finish button. When your iPhone finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so) it will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard.



BOOT TETHERED:
Since this is a tethered jailbreak you must use Redsn0w to help you boot back into your jailbroken device if its powered off for any reason. Simply connect your iPhone to the computer, launch RedSn0w, select Just boot tethered right now from the options window and click Next to have RedSn0w boot your device.
