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 :-)

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.

'Patch' that unlocks baseband 4.11.08 is actually a virus

I came across this YouTube video showing an iPhone running baseband 4.11.08 being "unlocked".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJaxIiYKaa8&feature=related

The author claims that by running a patch to RedSn0w, it does a special jailbreak that automatically unlocks IOS 5.0.1 devices with 4.11.08 basebands.  No mention of UltraSn0w or Gevey Sim.

If this sounds too good to be true, it is.  Here's 3 reasons why
  1. RedSn0w does not unlock phones, so patching it would be useless.  RedSn0w only jailbreaks.
  2. The patch file does not change the size of modification times of the RedSn0w binary.   
  3. The iPhone in the video is model MD128TU.  This particular model is not Sim-locked.

Not surprisingly, 'patch.exe' is a trojan horse and running it will infect your computer.

When I see a proven unlock of an locked iPhone 4 (i.e. model MC319LL) with a 4.11.08 baseband, I'll test it personally and post it here.
