The iPhone Dev Team has updated Redsn0w to include support for iOS 5.1.1. With this update, you are no long required to “trick” Redsn0w into Jailbreaking 5.1.1 by pointing it at the iOS 5.1 IPSW file. This is still a tethered jailbreak and I would recommend staying on a lower firmware if possible. Note: This only works for A4 devices (iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G, iPad 1) or older (iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G). Th ...

Only a few hours ago, Pod2G tweeted some info regarding his progress on the upcoming 5.1/5.1.1 untethered jailbreak. Now he shows us, on video, that he has completed the iOS 5.1 jailbreak for the new iPad 3 and that he is now working on making the exploit work for the new iOS firmware 5.1.1, which was released on Monday. The jailbreak will also work on both the iPhone 4 and the new iPad and there should be ...

The jailbreak community is working very hard to release a public iPad third generation untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.

Now there are three members are working on the iPad 3; MuscleNerd, i0n1c, and Pod2g. This jailbreak does not have an ETA ...

After being updated this morning to fix the DRM issues in iBooks, as well as Redsn0w, Saurik has tweeted that this jailbreak has been updated once more. This time it's to resolve problems with the well-known, iPhone 4s. If you are having trouble with your iBooks on your device, you can simply install Corona from Cydia. If you have installed it previously and want the update, just update it via Cydia. ...

Earlier, the iPhone Dev-Team released an updated version of RedSn0w for both Mac and Windows. This update (0.9.10b5) overcomes the jailbreak detection by iBooks that would cause some images to not display properly. According to the Dev Team's blog: Redsn0w version b5 incorporates yet another fix for iBooks, this time involving DRM.  @planetbeing wrote a utility called “crazeles” that overcomes jailbreak det ...

  We need the jailbreaking community to come together on this one! The exemption covering jailbreaking will expire later this year, which is why every jailbroken supporter or user should sign this petition to keep jailbreaking legal. In 2010, the Copyright Office said jailbreaking a handset did not violate the DMCA and the jailbreak community became very relieved. That feeling only lasted until they re ...

This causes some problems, as they are very effective, and without some of them, Siri is unable to do some tasks as, giving out ...

If you remember my last article, I explained the status of the custom commands on Siri. Well, the wait for "advanced" custom commands is over. With the new Cydia tweak, SiriToggles, you can launch apps, power off device , set brightness level, control bluetooth and wifi, toggle airplane mode, etc... This is an awesome breakthrough in Siri customization, in only four days, since the iPhone 4S jailbreak, we r ...

Absinthe, the best jailbreak yet has been updated once more and I'm thinking this might be the last, since this version includes Linux! So, version 0.3 of the Absinthe iPhone 4S & iPad 2 untethered jailbreak was released minutes ago by the Chronic Dev Team, which brings support for Linux. If you’re already jailbroken with v0.2, there is no need to attempt to reapply the jailbreak with the latest version ...
