    Im getting the YSOD (Yellow Screen Of Death) on my 3GS (old bootrom) since doing this jailbreak if I let the battery run out. Anyone else having this problem. Don't think its my charger, have used a friend's too with same result. The only way to get the phone working is to put it in DFU mode. Any suggestions greatly welcome!

    Dear All,Please let me know how can I restore my iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 to original version? (Because that is not enough programs for it in Cydia, the speed of phone is reduced and my message's are not open regularly)Thanks for your time, Ali

    Not only does iBooks no longer run, but more seriously, Safari can't launch any more either. Has anyone else had this problem? (iPhone 4 GSM, iOS 5.0.1, Redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for Mac)? Details: I first upgraded from iOS 5.0 to 5.0.1 through "Restore" in iTunes. There was a problem with backing-up to my computer because I had inadvertently run out of disk space, so the restore did not restore my settings. But appeared to work, otherwise (but I don't recall if I used Safari at that stage; probably not). Anyway, after that, the Jailbreak went fine. But I'm wondering if the disturbed "restore" is the reason for Safari not to work any more. In which case I guess I should "restore" all over again.

    I've successfully jailbreak my iphone 3GS iOS5.0.1. I notice one prob, my phone getting slow after i had installed 30 apps. Then i reboot my phone, one time, it remain in unthethered mode. After few days the crawling speed of the phone reappear, then i reboot my phone, suddenly, my phone returned to unjailbreak form. The cydia, **** & all othe jailbroken apps installed can't run. For your info, i use iTunes to installed all the ipa's files before the crawling speed prob of the iphone appears. I rejailbreak the phone with no prob. My question is, why is this problem happen? My phone is unlocked phone. Thank you

    HiAwesome post. It worked like a charm. I successfully updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.0.1 and jail broke it. Only concern I have is notification. Only messages and calls I get notification. I have other apps like Facebook, Cricinfo, Wordfeud for which I don't get notification even after I set these apps in my notification list in Settings. Is there anyway I can get these notifications too..? I used redsn0w 0.9.10b1.

    Worked flawlessly, i had tried several times before from other sites and always ended up with my phone saying searching or no service. with your guide i checked the deactivate box and it worked like a charm..this should be called "Jailbreaking For Dummies"....

    Ran redsnow 0.9.10b5c with the Phone2,1_5.0.1_9A405_Restore.ipsw for my 3gs with iOS 5.0 and it went through all the steps of install no issues. Once rebooted out of DFU mode it was not jailbroken. I tried clicking jailbreak and install cydia on redsnow menu but it says I need iPhone2,1_5.0.1_9A404_Restore.ipsw ? Did I miss something?thanks
