All experimental builds of iOS 5, the next version of the mobile operating system that runs on iPhones,iPod touches and iPads require users to validate their developer accounts with Apple when activating, as a way to curb unauthorized use. Sadly, the just-released iOS 5 beta 4 is no exception, although there's a way around it as long as you're willing to perform a jailbreak. Unfortunately, since the iPad 2 running iOS 5 can't be jailbroken yet, this guide won't work with said device.

If you've been following the news for the last few hours, you're probably aware that the latest build of iOS 5, known as "Beta 4", was seeded to developers. This is also the first ever version of iOS that can be downloaded over-the-air to iOS 5 Beta 3 devices, removing the need for iTunes to apply this update altogether. It now turns out that if you've jailbroken iOS 5, you won't be able to update over the air.
The newest build of iOS 5, known as Beta 4, is available to all Apple registered developers. While it can be installed through iTunes like previous version, Beta 4 is also the first release of iOS 5 that can be downloaded over-the-air to iOS 5 Beta 3 devices. Ever wondered how this works? Read on.
As many have predicted over the last few days, the fourth beta of iOS 5, Apple's next-generation mobile operating system, has just been released to developers today.

Apple's methodology of testing a feature on one product and then trickling that feature out to other products looks set to be coming into play once again.

These days, in order to downgrade an iOS device to a previous version of iOS, you need to have an old SHSH blob of that version, and the only way to do that is to back it up ahead of time, that is, when Apple is still signing the firmware. iSHSHit is a tool that backs up the firmware's blob for later use right on the device itself. The said app has now been updated to work with iOS 4.3.4 and 4.2.9 (for CDMA iPhones), which were both released to the public last week.
The number one reason why people jailbreak their iOS device is for the experience-enhancing tweaks. From little tweaks like MultiIconMover to the big, game-changing ones like Winterboard, SBSettings etc; all tweaks help make iOS an even more powerful mobile OS.
