Attenshun iPhone, iPad and iPod users! The wait is over! The iOS 5 untethered jailbreak is now available for iPhone, iPad and iPod using Redsnow. You just need to follow the following steps and enjoy your non-authorized apps right away:
Note: This Isn’t For iPhone 4S and iPad 2
1. Download Redsn0w for Mac and Windows.
2. Run Redsn0w, click on “Jailbreak” and check “Install Cydia”. Follow the instructions on the screen.
3. Wait and be done.
That simple. If you have an unlocked iPhone you should choose the custom IPSW option to preserve it. Like always, if you do this and things break, we’re not responsible for it (but don’t worry, it should work — and you can always go back to the original Apple firmware). [Redsn0w for Mac and Redsn0w for PC via Redmond Pie]

Wednesday, December 28, 2011 at 3:01 PMway to brick some devices, I’d expect a better article from you Jesus, at least place an edit on your article and advise the noobs that it doesn’t work on iPhone 4S and iPad 2
