Untethered Jailbreak For iOS 5?

iOS 5 is due to be officially released any day now and what most people are now anxious to discover is if, when and how and untethered jailbreak will be released. Redsn0w already provide a tethered jailbreak for iOS 5 as does Sn0wbreeze but the majority of jailbreak enthusiasts are looking for an untethered solution.

An untethered iOS 5 jailbreak will give users the freedom to reboot their device without having to reconnect to the PC each time. I0n1c who is a prominent figure in the jailbreaking community tweeted that the iOS 5 untethered jailbreak is covered but he didn’t give away any further information. We are assuming that he is referring to the Chronic Dev Team who may be working on an untethered jailbreak tool for iOS 5.

At the first annual jailbreak convention that was held last month, Chronic Dev Team members P0sixninja announced that the hacking group has discovered five new userland exploits in Apple’s latest mobile operating system. This gave everyone hope that an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 would be announced as soon as iOS 5 was officially launched. The cryptic tweet from i0nic only helps to create even more anticipation.

As the exploits that were discovered were all userland, it would suggest that the jailbreak solution for iOS 5 should work on all iOS devices on all exploit ready iOS versions. This will be much like the easy to use JailbreakMe 3.0 which finally jailbroke the iPad 2. As with all jailbreak solutions, we do have to wait until the official word is released before we can tell you exactly what you are going to get and we are hoping that when it comes to an untethered iOS 5 jailbreak this will be sooner rather than later.
