Sn0wBreeze 2.9.5 supports unteathered IOS 5.1 Jailbreak for iPhone 4 (GSM)

Sn0wBreeze has been updated to support an unteathered 5.1 (and 5.1.1) jailbreak on the GSM iPhone 4 and 3GS.  iPhone 4S users will need to use RedSn0w.

It also contains a fix for 3GS users using the 6.15.00 baseband having trouble with location services.  So, if you've switched to the iPad baseband and are encountering issues with your GPS, download Sn0wBreeze and watch the problem disappear :-)

Absinthe 2.0 provides unteathered IOS 5.1 Jailbreak

Great news on the Jailbreak front - after nearly 3 months of waiting, we finally have a working unteathered IOS 5.1 (and 5.1.1) Jailbreak for all iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices via Absinthe 2.0.  The only non-working device is the Apple TV.

Expect new versions of RedSn0w and Sn0wbreeze to be released within a few days.

IOS 5.1 Unteathered Jailbreak Status

There's still no working unteathered Jailbreak for IOS 5.1, but a new exploit discovered yesterday makes it possible to downgrade to 5.0 (SHSH blobs required).  This is great news for the many people who mistakingly upgraded to 5.1 assuming a jailbreak would be released soon.

Here's a table with the current supported jailbreak status.

IOS 5.1.1 released

IOS 5.1.1 is now out to fix some reliability and security bugs in IOS 5.1.  The good news is you can upgrade to 5.1.1 safely, the re-jailbreak on 5.1.  The bad news is the jailbreak for 5.1 is still teathered, unless you have an older bootrom iPhone 3GS.
