How To Semi Untether Jailbreak iOS 5 Using SemiTether For iPhone, iPad And iPod Touch [Updated]
As you know, Redsn0w and Sn0wbreeze allow iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users to jailbreak their iOS device on iOS 5, but they support only a tethered jailbreak, which means that you need to connect their iOS device to the computer on every reboot, otherwise your iOS device is stuck at the Apple logo.

Nice touch but if apps you like to use are disabled than its not worth it. I can still wait and deal with tethered
-
Apple's going to release 5.0.1 to fix the iPad 2 hack so we'll be waiting longer.
-
is there an ipad 2 ios 5 jb??? are u sure?
-
There isnt. He mean's the exploit with the ipad 2 smart cover that lets you bypass a lock screen pass code. On top of that ios 5 has a few bugs that need to be fixed for iPhone as well so there may be an Apple update for IOS 5.0.1 quite soon i feel. Untethered JB will be held off till than i assume to avoid having Apple find and patch the JB exploit within days or even a day of it being released.

I have another semi untethered method for ios5. (verified with iphone4, and ipod touch4gen)Right after your hit "re-spring",just quickly plug the usb cable directly to iphone/ipod. It will respring back and theres no need to "boot tethered".
-
Respring and reboot are two different things. A respring should not undo a jailbreak. A reboot will.
-
Hey DUMB ASS, respring is NOT REBOOT
-
Yikes!This completely trashed my iPhone4.Get's an ERROR during tethered boot.
-
when it comes to re-spring, there is no need to do anything for the reboot, because it is not reboot! just respring!
-
hey! the semi-tether didn't work on my iphone4! i still have to reboot via usb!
-
hahahah ahahahahahah "Semi-tether" "can use all the pre-installed apps except for some of the important apps like Mail and Safari"hahahhahahasoo funny, still tho thanks a lot for the effort toall the hard working smart asses out there Thank you ! I will keep waiting hahahahaha "semi" hahahah we're close tho right ? haha
-
i think i semi bricked myi lol
-
Tried it and froze shortly after Apple boot logoNot sure how much I would really want it anyway....unable to use cydia or mail and safari reduces the usefulness but thanks for all the efforts.I found that it doesn't inconvenience me much to boot tethered but still looking forward to the extra freedom of untethered. :)
-
Semi-tethered...really? This description sounds miserable. Why would you want to jailbreak your phone and risk not being able to use some of the most important features of your phone? C'mon. Hey, I'll be able to install the new intelliboard ...but you MIGHT not be able to call anyone of receive emails haha. I think I'll take a pass on that. This really wasn't even worth writing about, because no one that actually is serious about jail breaking ios5 would use tethered or semi-tethered. It's just a waste of effort and time and will only cause frustration to users who actually use their phone instead of just making it look pretty. So with that said, I say only report on an actual stable jailbreak.
-
Hey guys anyone know who (if anyone) is working on 4S JB and if there is ANY progress that anyone know of ? I do understand that it took some time before first JB came out for each new device yet It'll really suck if it'll be same way as for iPad 2 we got one lucky 4.3.3 hole and that's it ...... keep up good works and thanks !
-
You retards, this semi tether means if for some reason the phone crashes and you are out and about, you can still boot up and have some usage of your phone, make calls etc. it's a great compromise for now. You stupid fucks, hope you brick your phones.
-
You would want to have it available to you knuklehead, just incase your battery dies or any other reason you would have to reboot your device. If you ran out of battery without it you would need to reboot with your CPU and your phone would be totally useless but with the semi downloaded you atleast have a basic use of your device untill you get to your CPU
-
I think semitether is goodAtleast one can do the mOst important and basic task a phone is meant for ie calling and SMS For 3GS specially this is good as it has a very poor battery backup an tether booting everytime is not possibleWhat about other apps like opera, would it work ?
-
The jailbreak and the semi are two separate things. You JB like normal with redsn0w then in Cydia you add the semi to your device so everything works the same just no longer have an expensive paper weight in your pocket if for any reason you need to reboot
-
Think I'll pass..I'll wait for the final untethered version.
-
You moron! Some use is better then no use. To be able to call someone is great stuff. If you don't like it or it is not useful to you, you cant just laugh to something useful like that. You are an idiot. Man did a nice job, show some respect. At least it is quite opposite of some stupid things like "will it blend iphone 4s"
-
Correct... Iphone randomly reboots and hangs after installing..
-
hey how to jailbreak my iphone 4 ios5 ??? im really stuck help pleaseee
-
Installed it and now I can't fucking boot. Had to restore, update, do a tethered JB and start from scratch. I hate you.
-
This did not work on my IPhone 3GS... In fact it wouldn't boot at all after installing (not tethered or semi tethered). The few times I managed to boot tethered, it would reboot after a few seconds/ minutes. Solution: Try to be fast enough when it boots and remove semitether from cydia. It will however delete all your notification centre settings.On the other hand... it could be just me
-
So, it doesn't work for me either. It took a little more than 2 mins with the apple logo. And now its pretty stuck with the loading circle thingy. So i guess its still buggy? Waiting for an update. Also, thanks bigboss! This will come in handy when it works.
-
Oh btw, i just booted tethered and removed the tweak from cydia. Waiting for a update :)
-
You can use redsn0w for PC. All you'll need is the 5.0 ISPW.
-
You don't need that apostrophe.
-
Stoned ... you missed the apostrophe in "isn't" and put an unnecessary one into "means". Just FYI.
