How to Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad and iPod touch?

If you’ve updated your iDevice to iOS 5.0.1, Apple’s latest software update, and you want to jailbreak your device, you’ve come to the right place. We’re here to help and we’ll walk you through the process step-by-step.

The latest iOS 5 update fixes bugs related to battery life loss, brings Multitasking Gestures to the original iPad, fixes some bugs that plagued Documents in the Cloud, and improves voice recognition for Australians.

A great update, and more importantly, a jailbreak is now available in the form of Redsn0w.

Before we start, a few things.

For those who don’t know, jailbreak frees your iPhone from limitations imposed by Apple and the device carrier. And while it’s made legal, jailbreak will void your warranty, so keep that in mind before you take the plunge.

You can read our 5 Reasons to Jailbreak guide and be sure to check out the Top secret Cydia gems and Top 5 Cydia apps for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Also, this won’t work if you’re the proud owner of an iPad 2 or iPhone 4S. If you have an iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS or iPod touch, you’re at work.

If your device is supported and you’re still interested, read on.

  1. Install iTunes 10.5.
  2. Connect your iDevice to your computer and back up your files.
  3. Update your device to iOS 5.0.1.
  4. Download Redsn0w for Windows or for … Match.
  5. Open this file, select “Extras”, then “Choose IPSW” and hover over the iOS 5 firmware file, which you can download for your device directly from here.
  6. Select “Jailbreak” then “Install Cydia” and then continue in DFU mode and jailbreak will be installed.
  7. Next, you will want to open Redsn0w with your connected device, select “Extras” and then click “Boot Only”.
  8. Enjoy.

Since this is a tethered jailbreak, you’ll need to turn on Redsn0w and go to “Only On” every time you turn off your phone, so keep that in mind.

It’s a small price to pay to have a fully functional, jailbroken iPhone.
