After the iPhone 4S event yesterday, Apple has released iOS 5 Gold Master firmware update for its official developers. And now, jailbreak tool developers at iPhone Dev team have released Redsn0w 0.9.9b3 to jailbreak iOS 5 GM on iPod Touch, iPad and iPhone devices.
iPhone Dev team’s note on Redsn0w 0.9.9b3
redsn0w has been updated to 0.9.9b3 to auto-detect iOS5 GM firmware. Remember: it’s still tethered for all devices except for iPhone 3GS with old bootrom. If you don’t use redsn0w to “Just boot” at power up, all jailbreak apps (and even some native ones like MobileSafari) will fail to launch.
If you already jailbroke the GM by pointing an older redsn0w at the beta7 IPSW, there’s no need to re-run the full jailbreak step again…just use this newer one to make the tethered boot easier
Since Redsn0w 0.9.9b3 is a tethered jailbreak for iOS 5 GM build, there is no point in trying this latest firmware on iDevices. Chronic Dev team is reportedly working on a new untethered jailbreak tool, so be patient. Let them release the final jailbreak.
