French hacker pod2g released a video showing off the Untethered jailbreak solution for iOS 5 and 5.0.1. , which appears to be almost complete and ready for prime time.
The highly sought after Untethered jailbreak does not require that the device be connected to a computer each time it needs to be booted. The hacker tweeted:
🙂 iOS 5.0 untethered jailbreak demo : http://youtu.be/kp_Mz6rs9fc
And whether the new jailbreak will work on iOS 5.0.1, he tweeted
Tons of questions from my nice followers. Too early to answer. Will work on iOS 5.0.1, will try iPad 2 and 4S after others are ready.
First indication of a possible untethered iOS jailbreak came in pod2g’s tweet last month:
Hey jailbreaking friends, I’ve found a bug that can untether iOS 5. Don’t expect a release soon, but I’m gonna work hard in it.
