After several months of patience, iOS 5 untethered jailbreak for iDevices was released although it was only compatible with A4 iDevices while jailbreak for A5 devices is still under process.
However it doesn’t look like that jailbreak for A4 devices will last longer. Jailbreak developer’s has stated that Apple has patched the Corona exploit, which was used for successful untethered jailbreak, in their latest iOS 5.1 ( iOS 5.1 Beta 3).
iOS 5.1 is still in beta but it wont be long when the proper release would be Live because three beta versions of iOS 5.1 have already released.
Pod2g, a famed iOS developer found a bug in iOS 5 which he believed can be used for a successful jailbreak for A4 devices, so Corona 5.0.1 untether was introduced. Apple has patched this bug because of which iOS 5.1 is no more at risk by Corona. This news is not confirmed by a Dev team member but it’s better to be on the safe side. So you should update your iDevice on iOS 5.0.1 before it’s too late.
Whenever a new firmware is released, Apple stop’s signing the older firmware version and also doesn’t verify the older firmware while updating or restoring your iDevice. Those people who own iPhone 4s or iPad 2 and plan for a jailbreak in the future, make sure your iDevice is on iOS 5.0.1 because you would have no more access to iOS 5.0.1 as soon as iOS 5.1 is released.
