Late last night, BigBoss released a new package on Cydia called SemiTether, which allows you to reboot your jailbroken iOS 5 device without the need to connect it to the computer.

However, BigBoss's solution had some limitations and number of users reported issues after using it. BigBoss has released a new version of SemiTether to fix some of the issues.

    I do not see any reason now for trying jb IPhone, all kinds of this progs only trying to kill stability of it and primary functions of phone. Sure if You have 2 or more iPhones you should try do it but if you have only one better stay jailed with good working phone :)Personaly I'm waiting for unthetered, stable ver of it for install only Navigon all others apps are cheap and do not worth of crack.

    Pay someone for a developer license/certificate, and use iResign. you won't need the jailbreak, ****, or app sync. I jailbreak for all the great Cydia apps (that I pay for). If you jailbreak just to pirate then you really don't need to jailbreak at all.My personal favorites are UUID faker and folder mods. I love stuffing 50 apps in a single folder. Why Apple limits it is beyond me.

    Another person who only jailbreaks to pirate apps. See above comment about doing it without a jailbreak.

    Well your correct at that I can't fault your opinion there.Just an FYI, while I don't advocate it's use nor do I represent any one entity that offers thee services, I payed $10 to do this. A lot better than $99 from apple.$10 was a fair price in my opinion. Some may offer this same service for more or less. The individual I worked with was very prompt, had many many twitters from people endorsing the individual and his services. He was also very good with answering emails and questions. Top notch customer service in my opinion for a one man show.iResign is a free download. So ... its all upto the individual .. I love having my iPhone customizable and love the jailbreaks on it, so it's still on 4.X I may do the semi tether later today. I can live with the temporary loss of apps if it shuts off. I can't live without a phone. So for now its a decent compromise...Anywho .. until perfection comes out for iOS5 and we get our untether back with all the working cydia apps I do bid you a pleasant Cheers! and a god bless and god speed to the dev team wishing them the best o luck in getting us a solution soon.

    I agree. I pay for most of my apps if I like them and tried them first with app sync. There is only one program I currently NEED to "pirate" and thats skyscape. Its free, but all the medical resources you have to pay for. Now you can't "pirate" them, but, they only license to one device. So I need jailbreaks to use UDID faker to copy the license from one device to the other. I payed over $300 in med resources for school, and I do need them on both my iPad and iPhone. I am not about to pay an additional $300 to do that. So yes, jail breaking at times is a necessity. At least for poor college students. When I am working again, then I will legit up and give them the money they are due for an excellent product.

    Backgrounder, sbsettings, ssh capabilities etc are all good (legal) reasons to jailbreak.

    I have an iPhone 4 that I used sn0wbreeze to jailbreak and preserved my 01.59.00 baseband. Apparently, semi-tether didn't work for my phone. It deleted **** and App Sync 5.0+ when I installed it and I reboot it after it respring springboard, yet it still didn't work. It gets stuck in the "waiting circle" logo. I wonder if I did something wrong.

    Try: Redsnow > Extras > just bootor try:Redsnow > extras > recovery fixif you need the recovery fix you may have to restart at square one with doing a fresh factory restore on it then jail breaking it again. I was fortunate, everything worked out well the first time. I did get the white cydia, but per the instructions, doing the "just boot" fixed that. I purposefully have turned off (powered down) the phone too, and as stated turning it back on lead to loss of safari, cydia, and mail, but I was able to make phone calls without any problem. hooking it back up to redsnow and doing the just boot restored all those to full function ability without a hitch. on a side note I tried installing iLock and that beat the hell out of it until I uninstalled it ... should have read the compatible apps list in another post.

    Thanks, the problem I was having was getting into DFU from the frozen apple logo but I figured it out. Simply skip one and start with step two.

    yes if you have a pc go on ih8sn0w.com and download idetector and check if your iphone is an old bootloader and if it is go ahead and update it and be careful some people have mess up their sim reader it doesnt read sim so click deactivate in redsn0w

    Hello community,I have a quick question regarding jail breaking stuff,can an already jail broken and unlocked iphone 4 (with IOS 4.0.1 and baseband 1.59.00 running on it) be updated to lets say 4.3.3 with the ability to be jail broken and unlocked after ? Thanks,

    You are the kind of person who bends the rules in their favor and then turn around and tell someone how their wrong and condemn them for doing the same thing you're doing. Your STEALING dude one way or the other, just because YOU feel that what you're doing is "just" doesn't make it right, just because YOU feel that you shouldn't have to pay on this platform and that platform doesn't make it right. Most PS3 and 360 games are the same does that mean I can walk up to the store cleric and say "hey man, I bought this on ps3 hand me a copy over for 360 now it's my consumer right to have this game on all platforms without paying" pfft plz dude.

    I don't jb because I want free apps/games, it's a nice bonus, after using iOS5, truly, Apple is still behind on many "useful" features. There's 3 main reasons why I've jailbroken and I thought these were taken care of with the new iOS5, I was dead wrong, I wish I had not upgraded now and I can't downgrade because I didn't save my shsh blobs (my loss). Apple, you can learn from these 3 critical jb apps: LockInfo, Mail Enhancer and BiteSMS. If Iphones came stock with the features that these jb apps provided, I would of never even bothered jailbreaking.. period. Obviously the hardware is capable of these features, why Apple would lock us out of it I will never understand. Anyone who tells you that "these features" or "jailbreaking" would render your device unstable, BS. I also have a 3GS running 4.3.3 fully jailbroken with tweaked apps and it runs flawlessly. I got the Iphone4 and thought I could do the same but with a newer and faster processor and nicer screen, then I updated to iOS5. *sigh.
