Iphone Tips: How to tethered jailbreak iOS 5.0 and 5.0.1 via AcidSnow:
If redsn0w isn’t doing it for you, and you’re a Mac user, you may be wondering how to Jailbreak iOS 5.0 and iOS 5.0.1 using Ac1dSn0w. Ac1dSn0w is a newly released jailbreak tool that’ll allow you to tethered Jailbreak most iOS devices (unfortunately, still not iPhone 4S or iPad 2). It’s also a fairly straight forward process.
Currently supported devices
- iPhone 3G/3GS
- iPhone 4
- iPod Touch 4th generation
- iPad 1
What you need
- One of the supported devices listed above
- A Mac running either OS X Lion or OS X Snow Leopard
- Ac1dSn0w – Download here
Jailbreak your device
- Once you’ve downloaded Ac1dSn0w, open it.
- Next connect your device to your Mac and power it off.
- If you’ve already gotten your device in DFU (device firmware update) mode, just click Jailbreak. If you don’t, tick the checkmark box that says Show Assistant and a prompt will come up that will help walk you through putting your device in DFU mode.
- Once your device is in DFU mode, hit the Jailbreak button on the main screen of Ac1dSn0w.
- Let Ac1dSn0w do its thing.
Perform a tethered boot
- After you jailbreak the phone will reboot which will require you to perform a tethered boot. Use the assistant in Ac1dSn0w to put your phone back in DFU mode.
- This time instead of clicking Jailbreak, you’ll click on Tethered Boot.
