Apple introduced iOS 5 less than 2 weeks back and released the first beta to developers with over 200 new features. Not long after that, Dev Team managed to jailbreak iOS 5 beta 1 with the same Limera1n exploit used for iOS 4.x which allowed Cydia developers to start developing tweaks for the new iOS. Without a doubt, iOS 5 Notification Center has caught the foremost attention of these developers with back to back widgets and customization releases in the last couple of days.  Read more...

Just as Redsn0w was updated earlier today by Dev-Team for Windows users to support iOS 5 beta jailbreak for developers, an update to Windows exclusive baseband preservation tool i.e sn0wbreeze 2.8b1 has also been released. For those who don’t know, sn0wbreeze is a custom firmware creation tool for Windows users like PwnageTool for Mac and supports iPhone 4 (GSM + CDMA), iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3G/4G and iPad. It can now build an iOS 5 custom firmware while at the same time, preserving your current baseband to allow ultrasn0w unlock for iPhone 4 / 3GS on supported bands.  Read more...

Heads up to all our Windows users that Redsn0w 0.9.8b1 to jailbreak iOS 5 beta 1 is now available for download for Windows users since the Mac version was released last week. The latest release supports iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3G/4G and iPad running iOS 5 beta 1 for developers with registered UDIDs. This jailbreak DOES NOT PRESERVE BASEBAND update which means ultrasn0w unlockers should strictly stay away.  Read more...

Here comes the first ever widget for the all new Notification Center introduced in iOS 5, a feature that aggregates all the notifications in one place and can be easily accessed by swiping down from the top.

And here it is folks! The first working iOS 5 jailbreak solution is out as Dev-Team releases the latest version of Redsn0w i.e version 0.9.8. The updated tool can jailbreak iOS 5 beta 1 running on any iPhone 4 (GSM & CDMA) / iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3G / 4G and iPad / iPad 2. However, the jailbreak is currently tethered meaning you need to plug it to your computer to run it in jailbroken mode, every time to reboot your device. Since @i0n1c’s untethered exploit is seemingly patched, there is no ETA as to when the untethered version will be released.  Read more...

Even though it took less than 48 hours for Dev-Team to demonstrate iOS 5 root access by publishing photos of jailbroken iPod touch 4G using Limera1n bootrom exploit from Geohot, the jailbreak is however based on a tethered boot. Also, getting it untethered anytime soon isn’t going to be easy since the untethered exploit from @i0n1c might already have been patched by Apple in iOS 5 beta developer release.  Read more...

iOS 5 was shown off yesterday by Apple at the WWDC 2011 and it didn’t take long for Dev-Team to achieve a workinh jailbreak. MuscleNerd has just tweeted a picture of his iPod touch 4G running iOS 5 jailbroken with Limera1n. Of course it currently has a tethered boot status but at this pace I assume, it won’t be long before we have a fully untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 beta for iPhone, iPod and iPad released to public.  Read more...

iPhone Dev Team’s PwnageTool officially gets an update today to support iOS 4.3.3 untethered jailbreak on all devices which include iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4G, 3G & iPad. Still no support for jailbreaking 4.3.3 on iPad 2 however. Like the other jailbreak tools such as sn0wbreeze and redsn0w which were updated earlier, PwnageTool 4.3.3 also incorporates @i0n1c’s untethered exploit and like always, preserves baseband update to allow ultrasn0w unlock on iPhone 4 & 3GS running iOS 4.3.3  Read more...
