"Hey jailbreaking friends, I’ve found a bug that can untether iOS 5." This was the message by @pod2g, a member of the Chronic Dev Team, posted earlier today on twitter suggesting that he has discovered a loop hole in iOS 5 that can be exploited to achieve an untethered iOS 5 jailbreak. However, he also mentioned...
Brock Haymond is the developer behind an awesome new Cydia tweak called Hands-Free Control. The tweak does one thing, and one thing well: it allows you to activate Voice Control using your voice instead of holding down the home button. Once a Jailbreak is available for the iPhone 4S, the tweak will work automatically as Siri uses...
Apple seeded iOS 5.0.1 beta day before yesterday to address battery issues with some minor bug fixes. Today, @iH8n0w has pushed an update to his Windows exclusive custom iOS firmware creation tool i.e Sn0wbreeze v2.8b9 which supports iOS 5.0.1 beta 1 jailbreak on iPhone 4/3GS, iPod touch 3G/4G and original iPad.

Earlier today, Apple pushed iOS 5.0.1 beta to the developers community with numerous fixes include those affecting battery life. Moments ago, @MuscleNerd of Dev-Team has tweeted that the latest beta can be jailbroken using the existing version of Redsn0w. All you need to do is point at iOS 5 IPSW instead of today's release to make...
Last week, a new jailbreak tweak known as SemiTether was released on Cydia by BigBoss which allowed a tethered iOS 5 jailbroken iPhone to be partially used (like making calls or send sms) after an unplanned crash / reboot while on the move or in situations where tethered boot isn't possible. Being a beta release, SemiTether...
Jailbreaking your iOS devices is fun, but backing up all those jailbreak apps and tweaks manually isn't fun at all. There wasn't any simple backup / restore solution for Cydia apps available out there until PKGBackup was introduced. It not only provides the simplest, fully automated backup solution for all your jailbreak stuff including Cydia...
MuscleNerd from The iPhone Dev Team has just tweeted out an image that proves a preliminary iPhone 4S jailbreak exists. Don't take this picture as proof a public jailbreak is coming anytime soon. He notes there are still 'huge missing pieces' that prevents a release along with 'lots of work left'. We previously questioned the...
With iPhone 4S in the wild now, and with millions of sales, no doubt there are some folks out there coming from a jailbroken device to a non-jailbroken device. I have had my iPhone 4S for almost a week now. I am coping without my jailbreak, but I am going through some withdrawl. Probably the...
What is the state of the iOS 5 jailbreak? Currently a tethered jailbreak is available by using redsn0w. A tethered jailbreak means if you run out of battery or reboot your iPhone, you'll need to connect to Mac/PC to 'boot' your phone again to make it usable, whereas an untethered jailbreak is the opposite. BigBoss...
Just moments ago, Dev-Team pushed another update to Redsn0w jailbreak for iOS 5. The news came from @MuscleNerd as always via Twitter explaining that Redsn0w 0.9.9b7 for Windows and Mac is the fastest jailbreak solution for iOS 5. Total jailbreak time has been reduced to 80 seconds which was previously around 210 seconds. However, this will stretch...

A cool upcoming jailbreak tweak from Intelliborn called IntelliScreenX promises to bring Notification Center alerts and widgets right on to your iPhone's Lock Screen.
