Introduction : • Apple seeded iOS 5 GM to the developers earlier today. Although it is available to the developers only, it has already been leaked to major torrents site, we informed you earlier that you could download iOS 5 GM from these torrents sites (with a warning of course).
We warned you not to upgrade to stock iOS 5 GM firmware, since you may loose your jailbreak and unlock. However, equations are changing pretty fast.
MuscleNerd, a messenger and prominent member of iPhone dev team, has just announced that you can jailbreak iOS 5 GM with latest build of redsn0w, just like you’ve been doing it so far. As all previous beta versions of redsn0w, redsn0w 0.9.9b3 provides tethered jailbreak only, except iPhone 3GS with old bootrom, which is jailbroken for life. Remember that, this is a new version of redsn0w, so it will automatically detect iOS 5 GM firmware installed on your device.
Here is what MuscleNerd have to say, • 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 jailbroken 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 • redsn0w http://is.gd/6eek4Y can already tether JB 5.0GM (select beta7 IPSW for now though, till update) http://is.gd/SXCEi4
Note: This is a tethered jailbreak and it doesn’t apply to iPad 2 and iPhone 4S, just yet. • iOS 5 untethered jailbreak is not expected to be available sooner, so you might want to hold yourself before upgrading to official version.
Jailbreak iOS 5 GM with redsn0w 0.9.9b3 • Update: Few members are already telling that you do not need UDID to install iOS 5 GM on your device. This is a good news for all those who are looking to install latest developers build on their device, but doesn’t have registered account. Earlier beta versions of iOS 5 was jailbroken and hacktivated using sn0wbreeze, which removes UDID and timer check.
Download redsn0w 0.9.9b3from here. • Steps to jailbreak iOS 5 GM is self-explanatory or you can follow any of our previous redsn0w guide to do so.
