First of all, I would like to apologize to all my readers for being away for such a long time and not posting about the latest happenings in the world of technology and Apple. But hopefully starting today, we will try to bring the old routine back and post Apple related news, guides and reviews.
Anyways, as you all know, Apple pushed iOS 5 Beta 5 update few days back for developers. If you are a registered developer, you can get your hands on the latest beta by logging in to your developer account.
iH8sn0w, the developer of sn0wbreeze has updated its popular jailbreaking software, Sn0wbreeze 2.6 b5 which can be used to tethered jailbreak iOS 5 beta 5. The tool currently supports iOS 5 Beta 5 tethered jailbreak on iPhone 3GS (Old Bootrom), iPhone 3GS (New bootrom), iPhone 4 (GSM), iPhone 4 (CDMA), iPad 1G, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4. Tethered jailbreak means that you must connect your device to your computer every time it reboots.
With sn0wbreeze 2.8b5, users will be able to hactivate their device and will also be able to remove UDID developer check. It also removes the beta timer meaning that if you are running iOS 5 Beta 5, it wont expire even if its expiry date lapses. Anyways, here is the complete changelog of sn0wbreeze 2.8b5 is:
- Now supports iOS 5 beta 5 (9A5228d).
- Added Hacktivation ability.
- Added option to remove UDID developer check/Beta Timer.
- Finally decided to fix Baseband preservation standalone mode.
- Tethered devices are booted via iBooty.
- Re-added afc2.
