Untethered iOS 5.0.1 Jailbreak For iPhone 4S And iPad 2 Progress Report

Jailbreak iPod Touch On iOS 4.2.1 Redsn0w

Few days back, pod2G revealed that the jailbreak "Dream Team" had managed to successfully break the sandbox that had prevented pod2g from releasing the untethered jailbreak publicly.

This meant that the release of the eagerly awaited untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 users was imminent. pod2g said that it should be released in a "matter of days".

This led to speculations that the jailbreak "Dream team" will release the untethered  jailbreak for the A5 powered devices today as Sunday is popular as the fun day for the jailbreak community.

However, we don't expect it to be released today based on the recent tweets by MuscleNerd and planetbeing:

MuscleNerd: When it's done and *fully* tested; be patient :) Rush jobs lead to mistakes, which are *very* expensive on A5 right now.

Erik Smets: mistake => unstable => restore => no more JB if signing window is closed. I'd rather wait a few more days/weeks.

MuscleNerd: yep that's a very good summary of the problem we're trying to avoid! Hah, awesome to see these concepts+concerns propagate :)

planetbeing: Finally got unsigned code running on my 4S with the stuff that will go into the new jailbreak!

planetbeing: I was working on it every second I was awake yesterday. There's a lot of work that needs to be done. No one said it'd be quick.

As you can see, there is still quite a bit of work to be done, so it is very unlikely that it will be release today.

Please note that MuscleNerd has also advised users who are interested in unlocking their iPhone 4s to avoid upgrading to iOS 5.0.1.

MuscleNerd: iPhone4S users should follow same guidelines as previous iPhones: stay on lowest baseband possible (so for 4S, stay at 5.0)

MuscleNerd: that guideline is for carrier unlockers

As MuscleNerd has mentioned, please be patient as the jailbreak dream team is working hard to release it as soon as possible.

We’ll let you know if there are any further updates so stay tuned here at iPhone Hacks or join our Facebook Fan page or follow us on Twitter or add us on Google+ or subscribe to our RSS feed.

    damn. i hate when people say coming soon, then say days later nah lets wait a month or two.

  2. karl says:

    theres guys are fuking liars, notice how they said it should be a few days now we’ve got planetbeing saying it won’t be quick for crying out loud.

    • Bonedude says:

      Hello. My name is Karl. (with a K) I want something for free and don’t really care about the hard work that goes into jailbreaking. I, like Moe, am also a prize winning idiot.

      • karl says:

        i wouldn’t laugh at my name look at yours

        • Bonedude says:

          Wasn’t making fun of your name. …just stating that you are an idiot. Bonedude is a great name. Now you’re making fun of my parents. Them’s fighting words.

      • City023 says:

        Hello my name is Bonedude and thats exactly what i do…Bone Dudes! Everyone on this site relies on these hackers to JB for us, the simple folks. Unless your here only to get info on reviewed apps, which i doubt. We have been patiently waiting for Pod2G since Nov 2011. Im still with my 4.3 jB so i know what the other 5.0.1 users are waiting for….idiot!

        • Bonedude says:

          Oh my. You have finally outed me. Going to call mum and tell her I’m gay. That was a seriously hard jab, man. Wink wink :) . No…seriously…That was SOME intelligent reply. I’m waiting for it as well, douche faucet. I am also appreciative when it does happen and do not RELY on this to happen to get on with my life. Stop being so angry. Try being gay.

    • Olaf says:

      Do it yourself then.

    • Chinaman says:

      Dumb karl can’t even spell for $#it! and learn your grammars you f@g LMFAOROFL

  3. simon says:

    bah :( I understand its hard work and all, but I just neeeeed to JB and get rid of this big retarded home screen icon spacing :)

  4. DssTech says:

    Dont worry everyone. The JB will be here soon. Just takes time.

  5. Lowi says:

    Well i dont like the comment about not updating to 5.0.1!!!!!!!

    I know he is referring to iPhone 4s owners but does he not mean iPad2 owners aswell ????

    Last week Pod2g stated that iPad2 and iPhone 4s owners should update to 5.0.1 ready for the jailbreak !!

    I have now updated my iPad 2 to 5.0.1 and waiting anxiously for the jailbreak, are you now telling me that the jailbreak wont work on my iPad 2 !!!

  6. .... says:

    For those of you idiots who keep saying that some how these guys are doing it for free you are wrong.
    People are donating and keep donating, so they’re NOT doing anything for free you dumb idiots.

    • Bonedude says:

      Smart people donate when the finished product is released. Are you smart?

      • Paradox says:

        I’m sure the amount of actual users of jail breaking tools that donate versus those that don’t is very very small.. Many many jail breakers are doing it for one thing only .. piracy … You really think the ones that won’t pay 99 cents for an app are going to donate? I’d honestly be shocked if more than 2% of the community donates.

  7. OGT says:

    Days-Weeks…! 8^(

  8. Lowi says:

    Sorry, just noticed that he said for unlocking 4s not to update to 5.0.1

    Jailbreaking should be ok.

    Thanks for pointing that out ;)

  9. Ryan says:

    Apparently what you’re not reading is that you shouldn’t update if you NEED CARRIER UNLOCK. And unless you’re new to jailbreaking you should’ve known that already because it’s mentioned EVERY single time a new JB release is about to happen.

  10. John says:

    Everyone sulking does my head in! He said with some LUCK we COULD expect a release within a week! Nothing is definite throughout that paragraph! And quite frankly if you don’t like it make your own JB! You wouldn’t even know how to start! And if you manage to, no one will do it better then these guys! So shut it and be patient!

  11. Joey Mac says:

    Good work.. Can’t wait to jailbreak this 4s.. Worthless without it

  12. Credit earned=credit given says:

    @bonedude you’re the most intelligent person in the room. I kept scrolling down in hopes of seeing everyone of the unappreciative jerk offs being treated the way they deserve to be treated. Well done sir. You’re right on the money.

  13. F***ing A says:

    I hope they work on a unlock 5.0.1 since they told us to update if not oh we’ll should of waited

  14. Lowi says:

    @Ryan yes i am new to jailbreaking

  15. Neil says:

    I would definitely agree that rush job = unstability. Even the current jailbreak for i4 is quite unstable and mobile substrate crashes quite often. So better to iron out as many crashes as possible. Moreover, somehow I feel that apple is waiting for this jailbreak to be released before they release 5.02 or 5.1 since they have never taken this long between a beta and a final release. Would others agree?

    • Namer says:

      Agree. Apple waiting for jailbreak, JB devs waiting for 5.1 i think.

    • Paradox says:

      I think apple is skipping 5.0.2 because battery issues are intermittent right now. Chances are they will just do everything in 5.1 …. and 5.1 may not be released until announcements of the next device or update that they plan to announce at the end of february .. iPad 3 maybe maybe not .. but whatever the announcement is about, is most likely going to coincide with 5.1

  16. Hendrix6969 says:

    Jb will happen when it is ready, sooooooo many leaches want everything for free, make your own jb or wait better still stop being such a tight ass and actuly pay for the apps you want, but wait you are a leach and want them for free. Sooooooo many takers in this world. If I was the dream team then I would make the jb post a video of it working with a message at the end, never to be released to the free loaders, p.s lick my left nut.

    • David says:

      -1

      Lots of people want jailbreaks for legit reasons. I have a paid account with an online music service. Unfortunately, the site is Flash-based. They have an iPad app, but Apple refuses to allow it in the app store. Jailbreaking is my only solution for using my PAID service on an iPad.

  17. JetMech-01 says:

    Thanks you to the Jailbreak Dream Team, your hard work is REALLY appreciated!

  18. Maxtor182 says:

    Who cares. By the time they release a jailbreak they will have the A6 to worry about. Dev teams do a great job but let’s face it, jailbreaking is coming to an end. Dev team is smart… Apple is smarter. I suggest that people get used to the features that come with the phone/iPad, or buy a different phone.

  19. Niktos says:

    Damn!! So all locked users with bb 4.11.08 can continue waiting… Am I right?

  20. mediascape says:

    I love when people complain about something that is offered to them free on top of the fact that most people have no idea what is involved in writting jailbreaking software for both PC and MacOs.

    Relax, don’t do it — when you want to come.

  21. David says:

    Im so sad to see this comment about Interesting on unlocking should avoid not updating to 5.0.1!!!!!!! Before i want to keep my bb when im on 5.0, cuz i need to jb and unlock aswell, but they referring i4s user should update to 5.0.1, now i updated to 5.0.1 and now they said want to unlock should stay on 5.0, what can i do now? :(

    • Paulg says:

      I agree. Let us pray they manage to unlock the 5.0.1 baseband. Most of us started buying the 4s after realizing a jb and unlock was eminent. Would hate to have to sell it now due to no unlock.

  22. JB says:

    Donation scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  23. ambulansya says:

    what? my 4s has now been upgraded to 5.0.1!!! and im plannin to unlock it…

  24. MFunk says:

    Bonedude? more like Bellend

  25. Paulg says:

    This really sucks. How the hell was apple able to patch the baseband exploit in the 5.0 exploit before it got released? I just hope he is saying this just to prevent pple from upgrading unnecessarily. I can’t think of anyone who is currently running 5.0 at the moment.

  26. Jap says:

    I think they should release what they have so all the moaners try it and brick the 4s, then they will have something to moan about;)

  27. Nataly says:

    He said to upgrade and now he is saying that we shouldnt do it?
    What am i gonna do?

    • el says:

      follow exactly what is being mentioned. word for word.

    • Jap says:

      Pod2g is a jail breaker not an unlocker, if you ever read any unlocking info they say don’t upgrade as they can not promise to unlock the newer baseband, and they always say you have to preserve the baseband by using custom ispw by using redsnow and the like, if your going to do something try to do your homework so you at least have an idea what’s going on yourself and stop blaming others

    • Axe says:

      He said unlocker should stay away from upgrading. Read it clearer.

  28. Nataly says:

    Im sorry but I tried to downgrade to 5.0 and I couldnt.
    Could somebody help me?

  29. Mundo says:

    The upgrade warning for 5.0.1 is for unlockers it seems and not so much for just a jb. Don’t care what anyone says these guys r awsome. And for all the haters. Go learn to code! Or be quiet.

  30. MacaCBR says:

    To all you lot that are moaning how’s about you learn to JB! These guys are heros! Be patient!!! Rant over :-)

  31. iphone sadness says:

    No worry i diddent upgrade, im still 5.0 and im no farther in a jb than anyone else, i thank we should all keep our temper under control these outburst dont help antthing.

  32. Jebanec says:

    Bonedude!
    Hilarious Mofo! Kept me laughing! Love the comments to all the unappreciative losers!

  33. Musclefag says:

    I’ve told you guys about this already. We’re not getting the Jailbreak. We’re only going to get empty promises and bs update posts trying to milk more donation :) haha
    I laugh at all of you who thinks they are releasing it within days/weeks hahahahahahahahahaa

  34. Darell says:

    Omg, you guys are idiots thinking how they’re lying and crud. You already know that muscle nerd them (before Pod2g) DID make JBs. And if you could actually see the devices they’re using to actually make the JB from happening then go to geek.com. I wouldn’t even think you guys have the knowledge of using those things. I for all am routing for them. Hacking is WAY more harder than you think. You guys think is easy cause it’s either you guys got the easier way from someone else or you guys don’t care about people’s efforts. And plus, I don’t even think they get paid for even doing this. Good job guys. Keep it up. I really can’t wait myself. But I rather have my device working well than having it destroyed and wasting my money just cause it wasn’t safe.

  35. deeboe says:

    I got the ipad2 on the 5.0, i just brought this program off youtube that enabled me to download apps without a jailbreak, it works fine. I’ll use it until the jailbreak comes out

  36. iphone sadness says:

    Let me just ask you what good does it do to get mad when they are working as hard as they can to get us a jb?

  37. D-R says:

    Bonedude, LoL’ed my ass off at your comments. a damn nice technique to keep the babies quite. :D

  38. E says:

    I wonder if anyone is waiting for a jailbreak in prison?

  39. Malone says:

    I can’t believe how many self-involved kids who feel entitled to this jailbreak are on this website. None of you brats deserve the fruits of all the hard work these guys are doing. And you have the nerve to complain for something that they’re doing out of their own free time.

    Brats – nobody owes you a thing.

  40. DoctorTim says:

    Ban the trolls, including the self appointed police trolls. We just come here for updates, not whiny back and forth.

    • Bonedude says:

      But police trolling is fun :) Can’t a brutha have some fun?

    • DaePrice says:

      Doesn’t the article stop someplace ABOVE the comments section? The whiny back and forth comes after ALL the usefull info last time i checked. I LIKE reading the whiny back and forth, its like free comedy at the end of my long day of BEING A PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY! Oh and bonedude, keep me laughing.

  41. SsS says:

    Can’t wait

  42. iphone sadness says:

    Who called the Doctor?

  43. iphone sadness says:

    Im just fooling around Doc i agree with you, were all just waiting around fo the JB, but lets not blame the Dev team.

  44. Jason says:

    Wish they would have said something about NOT updating earlier. I clearly remember Pod2g saying go ahead and update 4s because if 5.0.1 is stopped from being signed then you’ll have problems jailbreaking. And i followed that advice. Now i’m afraid i’ve lost the sim unlocked. Not that i used the feature, just good knowing its there is all.

  45. Mehdi says:

    Bottom line is their doing hard work so that we can do an “optional” alter to our phone. You are not paying for anything, therefore no need to complain. Just say thanks and wait for the release. Greed isn’t good.

  46. dabloc says:

    seriously am frustrated.. ive sent out mutiple questions as far as updating to 5.0.1 dev team. i have been on 5.0 for ABOUT 4 months and just upgraded to 5.0.1 last night. i even made my gf upgrade to the same firmware. i have asked multiple times should i upgrade to this new firmware being that it would upgrade my baseband. i have asked multiple time if it were possible to upgrade and preserve my previous baseband. i searched google for the past 6 days with no answers. now you guys come out with this information telling everyone not to upgrade if they want to unlock their phones. you guys are extremly great at what you do but you do not read our questions. after having my 4s for about 4 months i am now on 1.0.13 because you havent responded back to us. thanks for the frustration.

    • MacaCBR says:

      Surely inst it best not to upgrade anything until a JB is released??? Besides this guys are not exactly bound to customer service are they???? :-s

      • dabloc says:

        Yea i guess not, when I finally get the answer to this question after holding out on the upgrade for so long. Nothing was on on the internet in reference to not upgrading the 4s to preserve the BB until now, and i mean absolutely nothing. Wats done is done, just hope I can still unlock my 4s 1 day.

  47. Dice says:

    0_0
    Really guys?…. yea, not the news we want. No the JB isnt out, yes it seems like they say one thing, but then couple days later they say another. But does this merit all these posts???
    Altho entertaining at times, its the same crap you guys post at each other in every damn JB A5 report. Its getting bit old no?
    Thought bout this whole situation over weekend. If the A5 is being this trouble some, how does the future of JB’ing look. =\. The challenges that are present seem to be a bit weary on the hack teams, and i wonder how much motivation will be in place for the next generation of iphones…. The end is near???…

    • Erik says:

      God I hope ur wrong!!!! Though I do see what you mean. It’s getting exponentially more difficult to jb and the utter disrespect people are showing aren’t helping either :(
