How To Jailbreak iOS 5.1 iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch Using Redsn0w 0.9.10b6 [Guide]

Yesterday Apple released iOS 5.1 for all Apple users and even we all heard that hackers are saying not to updated their devices to iOS 5.1 but we found that there is a lot of users upgraded their devices to this new firmwares which has been released a few hours ago, but for your information iPhone Dev Team said that those users who are going to upgrade to iOS 5.1 will lose Untethered jailbreak and that’s would be bad..


So today iPhone Dev Team released Redsn0w 0.9.10b6 for those Apple users who upgraded to iOS 5.1 but remember this is just a Tethered jailbreak not untethered one.. But also that’s not all also the BigBoss updated “SemiTether” jailbreak tweak to work on iOS 5.1. So before we began our little and easy guide there is a lot of important notes you should read it before entering the guide:

• This jailbreak is tethered jailbreak which means you’ll need to connect your device to computer everytime it reboots. You’ll need to do a tethered boot.


• If you rely on unlock, don’t follow this guide. We’ll post a guide shortly on how to preserve baseband and keep the unlock.


• The jailbreak is not meant for A5 devices, i.e. iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPhone 4S.
