Hi,
This is a jailbreak tutorial, not an unlock guide. What’s your unit, firmware and baseband?
wrong information. This is not untethered jailbreak on iOS 5.1. This IS TETHERED JAILBREAK for iOS 5.1. BEWARE before updating.
not for Iphone 4S :( i already in recovery mode . still pop up i ended up
i continually try this, and is says unreconginized build. WTF do i do!
untethered on ios 5.1 ????? ios 5.1 works with corona ??
there is a confilct due dependencies requirement when i tried to install corona. Corona is for iOS 5.0 and iOS 5.0.1 only, so it is not possible to install corona for iOS 5.1. This is the first time that article in Jaxov is wrong, have u tried this before?
i tried on iphone 3GS.
the link is for redsnow 0.9.10b5c.. CMIIW
Something buggy with this version. I have used the other versions without incident but this version gives a error message “Memory Exhausted” and fails to make a custom ISPW. I’ve googled the problem, found that others are having the same trouble but no workaround or update.
Thoughts???
U mean untethered 5.1 after install corona??
this is thered jailbreak be aware
