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

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

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.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
