Jailbreak iOS 5 On iPhone 4s, 4, 3GS:
Before we start elaborating on this and guide you through the procedure, you might want to know few things before you jump on it.This is a tethered jailbreak, now you might want to ask, what is tethered jailbreak? well, tethered jailbreak is when you have to Jailbreak your iDevice, which in this case, can be iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 2 or any other newer or old version, when ever you boot or restart it, boring? you might want to wait for untethered jailbreak then!
Please NOTE that if you are planning to unlock your iPhone, then don’t update to IOS 5. When you update your iDevice to IOS 5, it shall clear every thing up and give it a fresh start, which means your phone won’t be unlocked any more, the main reason behind this is the updated baseband of IOS 5, this new IOS won’t keep your old baseband, that will eventually force you to move onto new base band. Don’t worry, you can wait for the next update by Redsn0w for their PwnageTool, which will find a way to keep intact your base band or some other way.
You also need to remember that Jailbrekaing is not supported by Apple and if you jailbreak your device, you might lose your iPhone or iDevice warranty. We also recommend you to first download the latest iTunes, in this case iTunes 10.5.
