The real iPhone 4S jailbreak has finally been released for the general public.
The new iPhone 4S jailbreak works on all A5 devices, which means it is also an iPad 2 jailbreak. Just as we showed you how to jailbreak your iPhone 4, we are giving you a step by step walkthrough to jailbreak the iPhone 4S and iPad 2.
This iPhone 4S jailbreak works on devices running iOS 5.0.1, and is untethered. This means you won?t lose�functionality�f you have to restart your iPhone while it isn?t connected to a computer.
This is the combined work of a dream team of iPhone hackers and represents a major accomplishment.
Keep in mind, jailbreaking voids your warranty and isn?t for everyone. In most cases, you can go right back to stock without any hassles if you need to get warranty service, but we are not responsible for damage you do while jailbreaking.
Before You Start:
Before you jailbreak, make a backup of your iPhone 4S on your local computer by plugging in and allowing the device to backup. If you haven?t run a local backup, it may take some time, but it is worth having.
If you don?t have iOS 5.0.1 on your iPhone 4S, install it now. This will only take a few minutes, and you need it to jailbreak.
The process will take about 30 minutes, so make sure you have that much time before you start. Do not remove your phone while the jailbreak is in process.
