Recently, we have informed you with a tutorial on how to use Redsn0w 0.9.9b5 to tethered jailbreak iOS 5 firmware on iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. However, this jailbreak tool is available for Mac OS X users only and Windows users have no other choice but to use Redsn0w 0.9.9b4. But, there were reports that some iOS device users were having some issues when using the previous version of Redsn0w to jailbreak their beloved iOS device. So now, we are going to show you how to jailbreak iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch on iOS 5 using Sn0wbreeze 2.8b8 on Windows.How to Tethered Jailbreak iPad on iOS 5 with Using Sn0wbreeze 2.8b8:
Step 1: Download the stock iOS 5 and the recently released iTunes 10.5 using the download link posted below.
Step 2: Run iTunes and sync your iPad into your PC so that it backs-up all your important data.
Step 3: Launch Sn0wbreeze 2.8b8 iPhone / iPad jailbreak tool.
Step 4: Connect your iPad into the computer via USB cable.
Step 5: A message will popup to prompt you that the software is not for commercial use. Just click OK and click on the blue arrow to continue.
Step 6: Now, point Sn0wbreeze to the downloaded stock iOS 4.2.1 .ipsw file. To do that, just simply click on the Browse, navigate to the location where you saved iOS 5 firmware and click the blue arrow. Wait while the application is identifying your iOS device and model by examining the firmware file.
Step 7: Now you have to choose Simple Mode option (or Baseband Preservation Mode for iPhone users who want to unlock their device), then tap on Continue.
Step 8: Now, just sit back and relax while Sn0wbreeze is creating the custom pre jailbroken iOS 5 .ipsw. While waiting, you can play Pac-Man. When it’s done, you will receive a confirmation.
Step 9: Once completed, you will need to put your iPad into DFU mode. The application will guide you through the entire process. Just follow the on-screen instruction.
DFU Mode:
A) Power off your iOS device while still connected to your computer
B) Press down the home button and power button for 10 seconds, then release the power button
Wait till the application recognises your device in recovery mode.
Step 10: iTunes 10.5 will ask for the firmware file. Just point it to the custom firmware you’ve just created using Sn0wbreeze 2.8b8. iTunes will restore iOS to your device and when it finally restarts after the process is done, it’ll be jailbroken.
How to Tethered Boot iOS 5 using iBooty:
