How to unlock iPhone 3GS on iOS 5 and 5.0.1

How to unlock iPhone 3GS on iOS 5 and 5.0.1 If you’ve updated your iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 or 5.0.1 and lost your unlock we can help you get it back. The actual jailbreak will be tethered but you’ll still be able to unlock and continue using your device in the mean time until an untethered jailbreak solution is released. iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S users should steer clear of this as it will  not  work. Devices supported iPhone 3GS What you’ll need RedSn0w 0.9.9b5 or later, we recommend the most current version which is RedSn0w 0.9.9b8 – Mac Link, Windows Link A working SIM card (doesn’t matter what carrier as long as it’s activated and working) Jailbreak with RedSn0w and Install the iPad baseband You’ll follow the same steps are you would to  jailbreak via Redsn0w  except for one difference.

How to tethered jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 with RedSnow

How to tethered jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 with RedSn0w If you’re currently running iOS 5.0.1, you can jailbreak via RedSn0w 0.9.9b8. This one is also tethered like the previous beta versions of RedSn0w for iOS 5. It’s also worth noting that unlockers should stay away from this one unless they’re okay with being tethered. iPhone 4 users should stay away from any newer stock iOS firmware versions altogether in order to preserve their baseband. Be advised that not all jailbreak apps and tweaks have been updated to support iOS 5 yet. If you’re alright with running tethered and don’t mind a few bugs here and there, follow along for a quick walkthrough. If you’ve used RedSn0w before, you’ll be right at home. It’s not too much different than jailbreaking any other firmware version you may have used it for previously.

Most Used Iphone, Ipad Apps of 2011

Most-used iPhone and iPad apps of 2011: Some of my  most-used apps  have managed to stay the same year after year, but app updates and new contenders are always finding their way onto my device. While there are tons of great apps in the App Store, these are the apps that currently earn a place on the homescreen of my iPhone or iPad, or even both. BiteSMS I can not even express how great of an app  BiteSMS  is. While  iOS 5  made several much needed improvements to the messaging app, I still need my quick reply. I desperately miss this functionality on my  iPhone 4S  and can’t wait for a jailbreak for A5 devices  to be released so I can have it back.

It’s made my list  year after year ever since its conception. I realize how much I mi...
