It’s here! The iPhone 4S and iPad 2 untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 was just released after months of anticipation, and months of hard work by pod2g and the rest of the leaders in the jailbreak community.
A huge thanks is owed to the dream team of hackers including pod2g, p0sixninja, MuscleNerd, planetbeing, Saurik, and no-doubt countless others.
Take a look inside for more details surrounding this groundbreaking moment…
Facts: This is the first jailbreak, untethered or otherwise for the iPhone 4S. The iPhone 4S was released last October, so it took about 3 months for a jailbreak to come to fruition.
This is the second jailbreak for the iPad 2. The first was Comex’s Jailbreakme for iOS 4.3.3. It took a bit over 4 months for the first iPad jailbreak to be released, so the iPhone 4S jailbreak was actually released fairly quick.
The iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak is compatible with the following:
iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1
iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1
As previously noted, there will be three jailbreak tools released that are all capable of jailbreaking the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. They are as follows:
Absinthe – A traditional graphical user interface jailbreak tool
Dev Team CLI – A command line inteface that’s great for troubleshooting.
RedSn0w – The Dev Team’s traditional graphical user inteferface used for jailbreaking. This will be released sometime later after the CLI.

- ========================================
USAGE
Making sure your device is connected, double-click Absinthe to launch it. You will see the Absinthe home screen, and Absinthe should tell you your device (and firmware version) is detected. Press the Jailbreak button.
Absinthe will then go through a few status messages while it jailbreaks your device. It will stop for a bit at Waiting for reboot - not done yet, don't unplug your device yet!, and once the device has finished rebooting it will continue the jailbreak. Do not touch or unplug the device during this process.
Once the process has finished in Absinthe, it will alert you to unlock the screen if necessary and tap the "Absinthe" icon to finish the jailbreak. Remember, the icon may not be on the first page - scroll to find it.
====================================== - **NOTE: If you haven’t yet heeded the advice I gave weeks ago – before you take one step further, upgrade your firmware to iOS 5.0.1 NOW! (Unless you need an iPhone4s Unlock) Also, we don’t mean to beat you over the head with this warning, but please remember: you should not update to iOS 5.0.2 when it’s released, or you will lose your jailbreak!
- One thing that wasn't mentioned that you guys need to keep in mind is that when Crapple releases iOS 5.1 or iOS 5.0.2, there is gonna be NO WAY to restore your A5 device to iOS 5.0.1 even if you have your SHSH Blobs saved! Currently there is still no solution to restoring A5 devices using SHSH Blobs, not with TinyUmbrella, Cydia, or iFaith! So when Crapple stops signing iOS 5.0.1 and you need to restore your A5 Device (iPhone 4S or iPad 2) then you're gonna be shit outa luck as the only thing you will be able to restore to is iOS 5.0.2 or iOS 5.1 This is going to be a very "FRAGILE Jailbreak" so to speak so keep that in mind as you're gonna have to be very careful what you install on your device and to not install stuff from untrusted sources as they could possibly cause your device to crash!
Regardless you should ALWAYS save your SHSH Blobs using TinyUmbrella just to make sure that you have them so if and when a restore solution is found you will most certainly need them to do that.
