The iOS 5 has got many good things in store for its users. The iPhone Dev- team released the tethered RedSnOw Jailbreak for iOS 5. As mentioned this method of jailbreaking is a tethered method, so in order to jailbreak your iPhone 5 (or iPod/iPad), you have to first connect it to a computer running RedSnOw and click on the option “Just boot tethered now”  and your iPhone will enter in jailbroken mode. Initially, RedSnOw was only for Mac users but now even the Windows users can use it.

But there are few points that have to be kept in mind before going ahead to jailbreak your iPhone and they are :-

• This version can be used to jailbreak any of the following – iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G, iPad 1, iPone3GS, iPhone 4 GSM and iPhone 4  CDMA.
• Unlocked carrier devices should NOT attempt to use any of this, since they’ll lose their unlockable baseband if are trying to install iOS 5.
• As mentioned earlier this is a tethered jailbreak, so in order to jailbreak your iPhone, you need to connect it to a system running RedSnOw.

Step 6
