iH8sn0w has released new version of popular jailbreak utility Sn0wBreeze 2.9. Sn0wbreeze is used to create a custom firmware with jailbreak and preserve iPhone modem (baseband) version for unlock. New version 2.9 adds support for untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak as well as support for all firmwares supported by previous versions of sn0wbreeze.
iH8Sn0w has released Sn0wBreeze 2.8b10. Here is a changelog:
Supports iOS 5.0 (9A334)/5.0.1-b2 (9A404)
Fixed iBooks sandbox crashing issues.
Fixed location services issues with iPhone 3GS users running the iPad baseband (06.15).
Re-added iPad baseband (06.15) install option to iPhone 3GS.
Removes UDID requirement/Beta timer in 5.0.1.
Tethered devices are booted via iBooty which is extracted to the Desktop after running sn0wbreeze.
As usual the jailbreak is semi-tethered for iPhone 4, iPad, iPhone 3GS with new bootrom, iPad Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G and untethered for iPhone 3GS with old bootrom.
If for some reason you don’t want to use redsn0w 0.9.9 to jailbreak your iOS 5, here is a good alternative utility – Sn0wBreeze 2.8b8. It can perform a tethered jailbreak for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 1, iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 4G.
As usual it will preserve your baseband (modem) version for unlock with ultrasn0w 1.2.4 or Gevey Sim.
