14 DAY TRIAL // The Chronic Dev team’s own tool to untether your iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak is now available on Cydia, according to a new blog post over at Greenpois0n.com.
According to Pod2g’s hacking friends, “in hopes of making your holidays just a bit happier, this morning we are pleased to announce the release of an untethered jailbreak for iOS version 5.0.1, for all supported A4 (& lower) devices!”
“This jailbreak is brought to you courtesy of pod2g’s ninja-like magic + userland exploits, which he first publicly described in this blog post and then turned over to both the Chronic Dev & iPhone Dev teams for further testing + integration into our existing jailbreak tools,” the hacking crew explains.
According to the instructions, users who are already jailbroken can access, download and install Corona 5.0.1 Untether from Cydia.
It works for iPhone 4, iPhone 4 (CDMA), iPhone 3GS, iPad 1, iPod Touch 4G and iPod Touch 3G. An important detail is that such users must already be running iOS 5.0.1, otherwise the hack won’t work.
The steps couldn’t be easier: simply search Cydia for the tool, access its page and hit the “Install” button (as shown in the screenshot above).
According to the people who made all this possible, “This package will allow your 5.0.1 device to install pod2g’s untethered exploits and reboot without requiring an external tool like redsn0w or sn0wbreeze, and without having to restore your device (so you get to keep all your apps, contacts, etc).”
Those who currently don’t have access to Cydia (the jailbreak alternative to Apple’s App Store) will need to jailbreak first.
For them, Redsn0w is the way to go, as it features “exactly the same set of files as our Cydia package, but bundled with redsn0w for new jailbreak users and/or those who are not already running a tethered jailbreak,” says Chronic Dev.
