The iPhone Dev-Team has released an updated version of Redsn0w 0.9.9 which not only brings support for iOS 5 jailbreak (final) for Windows users, but also an important Location Services issue fix for iPhone 3GS users who are running iPad’s 06.15 baseband.
Due to the extensive work put in by the jailbreak community, we've the luxury nowadays of a tether-jailbreak being released simultaneously to the update, and Apple's latest and greatest version of iOS is no exception.
iOS 5 Beta 7 for iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 2, 1 and iPod touches was seeded to registered Apple developers yesterday. This new build contains several stability and security improvements to make iOS 5 close to release quality.
As you might already know, iOS 5 Beta 7 was released a few hours ago, along with iTunes 10.5 Beta 7. If you have already updated your device and are looking to jailbreak it, good news: it can be done using the latest beta version of Redsn0w (which was released last night), as confirmed by the iPhone Dev Team.
If you've been following the Apple news recently, you're probably aware of iOS 5 Beta 6, the latest build of iOS 5 which was seeded to registered Apple developers. The first question you might be asking yourself is whether this new release can be jailbroken: the answer is yes, we have tested and can confirm that this latest seed of iOS 5 can be jailbroken using current version of Redsn0w (by pointing it to iOS 5 Beta 5 firmware), on any device other than the iPad 2.
Two weeks ago, iOS 5 beta 5 was released and can already be jailbroken using Redsn0w, but those who were looking forward to using Sn0wbreeze on beta 5 are now able to do so with a new version of the tool that was released today.
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.
Earlier today, Apple seeded Beta 3 version of iOS 5 for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV to developers. The new beta 3 version includes: custom tones for tweets, Assistive Touch with Gesture Control, speed improvement, along with usual bug fixes.
