Apple's new iOS 5.1.1 may only have been available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users for a few hours, but already there's a jailbreak solution for installing unofficial apps, as long as you have the right device. The iPhone Dev Team's MuscleNerd has confirmed that those with devices not based on the Apple A5 chipset - which means the iPad 2 and new iPad, as long as the iPhone 4S - can use the previously released redsn0w jailbreaking tool.

iOS 5.1.1 Jailbreak hacked already
Tethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1 available on non-A5 devices
Well, that was certainly quick. iOS 5.1 hasn’t even been with us for 24 hours, but already there’s a tethered jailbreak. It’s not all good news though: it’s only available for devices not running Apple’s A5. That means you won’t be able to get in on the action on the iPad 2, iPhone 4S, or “the new” iPad when it ships on March 16th.

iPhone 4S and iPad 2 jailbreak incoming with Corona A5 tool
A jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 is almost ready for release, arch-iOS hackers the iPhone Dev Team have announced, with only streamlining the user-experience of the "Corona A5 jailbreak" left to complete. Until now, the Apple A5-based products have been stubbornly resistant to hacking attempts, Apple changing its approach in the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S so as to give users wanting to install unofficial software more trouble than before. That time of frustration, though, is nearly through.

iOS 5 beta expires today: b7b redsn0w saves your data
iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users running the iOS 5 beta may find their devices not playing ball, with the preview copy of the recently released Apple platform expiring today. Although Apple targets its iOS betas at developers looking to get their apps up to speed with upcoming software changes, the low cost of entry to developer accounts has seen many regular users jump at the chance for early access as well; those same users may be left holding less-than-useful devices today, when the beta expires. Thankfully there's an unofficial tool to allow user data to be extracted.

iPhone 4/3GS get ultrasn0w SIM unlock tool for iOS 5
The ultrasn0w iPhone unlock tool has been updated to support handsets running iOS 5, allowing owners of iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 to upgrade to the recently released new version of the platform but still use their phones with other SIMs. The new ultrasn0w is still effectively a tethered system for the iPhone 4, the iPhone Dev Team confirmed today, since currently the iOS 5 jailbreak (and which is necessary if you then want to unlock your phone) requires a USB connection on each reboot.

iOS 4.3.4 Jailbreak released just days after Apple closes loophole
The iPhone Dev Team has already jailbroken Apple's new iOS 4.3.4 release, pushed out to the iPhone, iPad and other devices on Friday last week. The updated iOS version patched a PDF vulnerability which hackers had used to jailbreak iOS 4.3.3; however, redsn0w 0.9.8b3 has been released to handle jailbreaks on 4.3.4, albeit tethered rather than untethered.

iOS 5 redsn0w Jailbreak released (but it’s probably not for you)
The iPhone Dev Team has released its tethered jailbreak for devices running iOS 5, as demonstrated earlier this week. The hack - which allows unofficial software to be run on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch when running the new version of iOS - uses the original limera1n bootrom exploit; still, the Dev Team reckons this particular release really isn't for everyone.
