Hello Guys,

Pardon me if we are not suppose to discuss this but If we are allowed than please help.

I have Iphone3gs I got it jailbreak to 4.1OS but I have been told I cannot upgrade to 5.0.1 or 5.1 otherwise the phone will be locked. Isn't there a way where I can upgrade the software and Jail break it to get it work?

I have tried google search but it seems that no one has solution which is working for this.

thanks

Google searching "jailbreak iphone 3gs 5.1" lead me to: http://www.iphonehac...ng-redsn0w.html

It looks like for v5.1 it is currently a tethered jailbreak so you might want to wait. v5.0.1 is the most up-to-date version that has a non-tethered jailbreak, but updating to v5.0.1 might be tricky since Apple won't sign for that version anymore. You might already have your SHSH blobs for v5.0.1. Does Cydia still save these for you? Not sure, I haven't messed with jailbreaking in awhile because I have no use for it.

I am waiting for the update on this same version myself. It's been a month already that they say they will release a working version "in a couple days"...

it's not that easy finding a usable exploit that they can use to make it unterhered, just give them time

what about on 5.0.1, Is there untethered break for iphone 3gs

yes, but good luck getting your iPhone to that version as apple doesn't sign it anymore (meaning even if you download it from the web when you try to use the file to update your iPhone, iTunes with just error out during the update process)

also

'If you?re lucky enough to have an old-bootrom 3GS, this jailbreak is actually untethered (redsn0w will figure that part out automatically).'

like said in this post, if you have the older 3gs boot rom it will be an untethered jailbreak even for 5.1

or you can still update to 5.1 and smeitether the redsnow tether jailbreak, which work perfectly with me...

and just for clarification:

Tether Jailbreak : when phone restart for any reason, it will loop crash into the apple logo. you have to connect it to PC to work again

Semitether Jailbreak : when phone restart, it will work without your jailbreak apps, just the essiential stuff, till you connect to pc again.

This can be done but you'll have to wait (patiently...) like everyone else for an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1. The last update I saw was about a week or so ago where exploits had been found but it takes time to get a 'userland' jailbreak ready for the public - this could be weeks or months as sometimes the developers like to release the new jailbreak tool after the next iOS update is released by Apple; so that the exploits found are not patched.

Personally I waited very, very patiently for months for the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 on the iPhone 4. (I did not want to go down the tethered route in conjunction with the SemiTether app from Cydia).

It seems as though the article in the link that you posted only outlines how to upgrade your iPhone to iOS 5.1 whilst also preserving your Baseband (needed for future iPhone Unlocks), which is done via restoring from a custom IPSW file and under the Windows platform. It does not mention anything about a recent Jailbreak method and by restoring your phone through this method, from my knowledge; you will lose your current Jailbreak.

Did you perhaps re-Jailbreak the phone using a tethered Jailbreak?

As far as I can tell, there is still no untethered Jailbreak available for any iDevice or any Unlock method for the latest Basebands for that matter...

You can get untethered jailbreak for the older 3gs before the exploit was fixed that allows it. He might have one of the old ones.

Mark, it seems as though the article in the link you posted describes how to "Jailbreak 5.0.1 Untethered On iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 1, iPod Touch With Redsn0w 0.9.10b1".

This is now deemed an 'old' iOS version that you cannot restore to because Apple has stopped signing it since iOS 5.1 has been released to the public - the only way you could restore to iOS 5.0.1 now is via Cydia's (saurik's) servers if you have an SHSH saved for that firmware version for your device.
