How To Jailbreak iOS 5.1 Semi-Tethered in iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad


Please note: 
This is a semi-tethered jailbreak only. Semi-Tethered means you have to boot your device using redsn0w EVERYTIME you reboot your device. So, if you run out of battery completely and happened to be somewhere away from your computer or you don't have any computer with redsn0w on it, you can't use your device. However, if you can put up with this and just ensure you won't lose your battery or reboot your device, let's proceed with the jailbreak process.


1. Download and install the new iTunes 10.6 on your Windows PC or Mac. Connect your iOS device with your computer, it is highly suggested that you back up your device first.


2. Upgrade your iOS device to the final version of iOS 5.1 using iTunes 10.5 on your computer. Proceed here to see detailed instructions on how to update to iOS 5.1.


3. Download the new redsn0w 0.9.10b6 for Mac here. Click here to download redsn0w 0.9.10b6 for Windows. 


4. Launch redsn0w.






5. Select Jailbreak. You don't have to specify the IPSW file before clicking it.



6. Click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to enter the DFU mode or you can enter DFU mode without clicking next if you already know how to. After putting the device into DFU mode, this screen should appear.




7. Wait for the process to end and this screen should appear. Just leave the checkboxes ticked and then click Next.




8. After the progress bar is finished, the process will take place in your device. A lot of white texts should appear in your device, followed by the running pineapple icon and then finally, the Apple logo.



9. The device will turn on but you are not finish yet you still need to boot tether the device, Cydia should appear in your SpringBoard (What is SpringBoard?). Cydia icon is still white just like below (This is for my case). 






10. Boot the device into a tethered jailbroken state in able to complete the jailbreak process. To do this, launch redsn0w again but instead of clicking Jailbreak, go to Extras and click Just Boot.






11. Wait while the program finishes the process and finally, your device is now jailbroken (tethered).






You can now install cracked apps for free (Click here to learn how to install apps for free) by using installing Installous (Click here to learn how to install Installous in your device) and use different kind of cool tweaks and themes by installing Winterboard.

3. Browser for your device or OpenSSH and Cyberduck
4. This modified, BarLCD@2x~iphone.png file. Click the transparent image below and then save it to your computer. It is pretty hard to click the image since it is very small, just move around your cursor until it changes.
