This new version of redsn0w supports the iBooks fix that everyone has been reporting.

Update #4: The b4 version of redsn0w incorporates the 5.0.1 fix for iBooks, and also for sporadic problems with launchctl. Thanks to @xvolks for merging the iBooks (sandbox) fix from @comex’s github into the overall corona untether from @pod2g! As usual, you can choose to install the fix either by re-running redsn0w over your existing jailbreak (de-select Cydia if you do that), or by installing the corona package from Cydia (it’s the same set of files no matter which way you choose).
TIP: If auto-detection fails and redsn0w tells you no identifying data was found, you can always pre-select the appropriate 5.0.1 IPSW using “Extras->Select IPSW”.

This jailbreak supports all A4 devices including the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G and the iPad 1 on iOS 5.0.1 and is fully untethered, no more connecting to the pc or mac to get your device to boot ! Finally, great job to both the iPhone Dev team and the Chronic Dev team.

If you need to unlock and untether 5.0.1, make sure you build the custom ipsw using this new redsn0w 0.9.10b1, as described in our previous unlock 5.0.1 article.

Ok so here is the step by step.

0. Update to 5.0.1 using iTunes, or using the custom ispw like i mentioned in the link above if you are going to need an unlock.

1. Download redsn0w

2. Start redsn0w

3. select the jailbreak button

4. follow instructions to put into DFU mode

5. let redsn0w do its work

All done !
