How To: Jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 8 on iPhone 4/3GS, iPod Touch and iPad Using Redsnow

The following are instructions on How To Jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 8 on iPhone 4/3GS, iPod Touch and iPad using Redsn0w 0.98b7.

The complete guide after the break.

NOTE: If you’ve already updated and are facing problems like the recovery mode loop, visit this guide HERE to downgrade to a stable release.

Tools You’ll Need:

iOS5 Beta 8 Firmware File. Click Here.

Redsn0w 0.98b7. Click Here.

iOS 5 Beta 6 Firmware File.

Step One

Download the official IPSW (Depending on your device). Download and extract Redsn0w. For convenience, place all of them in a folder on the desktop.

Step Two

Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes. When the phone shows up in iTunes select it from the list of devices on the left.  Now hold down Shift and press the restore button. You can also choose to update but restore is recommended; it’s always better to get a fresh start.

Step Three

As soon as you press Shift+Restore, a window will pop up asking you to select the IPSW file to be used. Point it towards the Official 5.0 Beta 8 IPSW you placed in the Jailbreak folder on the desktop.

Step Four

Once iTunes has successfully flashed your phone to the desired firmware, navigate to the Jailbreak folder on the desktop and launch Redsn0w.exe.

**Windows 7 users may need to run RedSn0w in Vista compatibility mode. You can do this by right clicking the executable and selecting Properties from the contextual menu

Once redsn0w opens, click the browse button.

Step Five

A windows will pop up asking you to select the Official IPSW file for your desired firmware. Point it towards the Official 5.0 Beta 6 IPSW you placed in the Jailbreak folder on the desktop.

You will then be asked (if using a 3GS) if your device is a newer “fixed” model. If yours is, then press the Yes button, click the No button otherwise. If you aren’t sure then simply press the Yes button.

Step Six

Once the firmware has been successfully identified click Next. Redsn0w will then prepare the jailbreak data.

After the data has been prepared you will be shown a menu where you can select different jailbreak options. You may select specific options depending on your needs, but for now we will only select “Install Cydia”. Select that option and then hit next to continue.

Step Seven

Connect the iPhone to the PC and then proceed to switch it off. Once the phone is fully turned off click Next. Remember to hold the phone in your hand before you press next  as you will have to press various buttons on the phone to make it  enter DFU mode.

Step Eight

After pressing next, instructions to enter DFU mode will appear. To enter DFU mode, hold the power button for 3 seconds, then without letting go of the power button press the home button and power button together for 10 seconds after which let go of the power button and continue to hold the home button until your PC detects the phone. It may take several tries to get into DFU mode.

Once the phone has entered DFU mode, the process will begin. The phone will reboot.

When it’s completed it will show you this message. The phone will then reboot and the rest of the process will continue on your device.

Once your iPhone is done being jailbroken, you should see Cydia on your SpringBoard. This means the jailbreak has been carried out successfully. Congratulations on jailbreaking your iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS tethered on the iOS 5 beta 8 firmware.

NOTE: How to boot tethered jailbroken iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS after reboot, launch RedSn0w and select “Just boot tethered right now”.

Google Nexus Prime Hitting Verizon On November 3rd?

Google Insider Tom Flemming has hinted the release of the Google Nexus Prime, Google Nexus 3, Samsung Galaxy Nexus or Samsung Droid Nexus depending on what you want to call it.

By “Bruce Wayne’s true father” he is probably referring to Batman’s creator Bob Kane who died on November 3rd. Red and Black accents are indeed referring to Verizon’s stores backing up the rumors that the carrier chose to skip on the Galaxy S II and get something better instead. This hint has been backed up by the accurate leaker black_man_x so this could indeed mean something.

Apple released a new Press Release today announcing that they will be resetting all iCloud backups on September 22nd (2 days from the time of posting) to get ready for Gold Master release of iOS 5.

The announcement:

On Thursday, September 22, the iCloud Backup data will be reset. Backing up to iCloud or restoringfrom an iCloud backup will be unavailable from 9 AM PDT – 5 PM PDT. If you attempt a backup orrestore during this time, you will receive an alert that the backup or restore was not successful. After this reset, you will be unable to restore from any backup created prior to September 22. A full backup will happen automatically the next time your device backs up to iCloud.

The announcement was made on Apple’s developers board where they published a statement that all backups made by beta-testers in the iCloud will be deleted on 22nd of September. They didn’t give an exact reason why but we think it’s because they’re ready to release iOS 5 GM which is pretty much a given.

The final release of iOS 5 is expected on 10th of October with Apple announcing the not just one but two next generation iPhones. One is expected to be the true iPhone successor, the iPhone 5 while the other will be a cheaper – better version of the iPhone 4 called the iPhone 4S.

It was founded in 1994 by Motorola but was later sold to Orascom Telecom LTD. Ever since its initiation Mobilink has improved in quality and coverage offering the best packages at the best possible prices. Recently Mobilink has brought its focus upon bringing the latest smartphones and gadgets to Pakistan in the most affordable packages. A recent release of theirs is the HTC Sensation, a dual core Android powered superphone which is considered one of the best phones in the market right now with its blazing fast performance and exceptional build quality.

HTC is a Taiwanese company founded in 1997 but has moved up in the market in the last few years, it is expected to become the world’s third largest smartphone manufacturer replacing Nokia and being behind only Apple and Samsung. HTC started off making Windows Mobile phones but they’ve since then moved onto Android and Windows Phone. HTC is a very innovative company, they manufactured the world’s first Android the HTC G1, Android could not have moved into to the market with a better phone. HTC has manufactured many award wining phones like the HD2, EVO 4G (World’s first 4G phone), Thunderbolt (World’s first LTE phone), HTC HD7 (one of the first WP7 devices and launched in Pakistan by Mobilink) and the HTC Hero among others.

Mobilink and HTC have partnered up to bring the aforementioned HTC Sensation to Pakistan in under a month of its international release date for just Rs. 55,000 which is the lowest price in the region. The phone also comes with a leather pouch and three months free of GPRS/EDGE, you cannot get a better deal than this. The HTC Sensation is not the first smartphone to be released by Mobilink in Pakistan, they’ve been a pioneer in making the latest smartphones available for their users. Their previous releases include the HTC HD7, Motorola Milestone, Dell Streak 5, Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Samsung Nexus S.

Mobilink and HTC together are helping Pakistan move towards the future, slowly towards the same standard as the first world countries. Even though we do not have services like 3G yet if Mobilink keeps innovating like it has been then we can expect LTE soon enough, a long-shot you say? Maybe, who knows? We just know one thing for sure, the revolution is coming.
