So now are waiting for dev team to release untethered jb for A4 devices?
I think it's good news.

what might be some more good news, and i didn't see any official announcement!!!

i noticed when i launched Cydia tonight, 5.0.1 SHSH, joined my other SHSH blobs on the list(at the top...green).

does this mean they will be officially supported afterall?

A4 untethered is out and pod2g stated not to update any device to 5.0.2 Still waiting on word if A5 device is a go...also, assume this means 5.0.1 is safe for all?

Update: The A4 untethered only works on 5.0.1 We really need him to advise A5 users...

The best advice for those with iPad2s (and iPhone 4Ss) is to sit tight; in the absence of news that relates to your specific device, the best advice is to do nothing.

It all goes back to the best thing I've heard about jail breaking: Until/unless a jailbreak is officially released for your device, do not upgrade. The corollary is: Only upgrade IF you've been told by the jail breaking community to do so.

IOW, hang in there! We'll keep monitoring the news to keep track of what's happening (as, I am sure, all of you are).

Please .... patience. Thanks.

Was looking to know what benefits you get from jail breaking apple tv 2? Firmware currently on 4.4.2, can that be jail broken?

So my iPad2 should stay at 5.0? @pod2g's A4 jailbreak is for 5.0.1... So.... What to do?

for those that is already jailbroken on iOS 5.0.1 tethered(without semi-tether installed), can just download Corona from cydia, to get the untether jailbreak working, without the need of using a computer.
if you did however installed the semi-tether, you need to do a fresh restore to 5.0.1 first with iTunes.

if you are already on iOS 5.0.1, not jailbroken.....just use redsnow to jailbreak(no iTunes needed).

there is pwnagetool too if you use that.

Ah, Rudy, that's the problem. No one knows. Again, generally, the "rule" is to stay put until notified otherwise (which is the theory I'm operating under, in that my iPhone 4S is at iOS 5.0, despite that stooooopid red dot!).

For now, I'd recommend staying where you are - mainly because we don't know. It'll get a bit sticky (and scarier) when we hear about the release of 5.1, but until then ... we wait.

Yeah, not reassuring, but that's all I've got!

Hmmm... I hope the next firmware update won't be out too soon, otherwise iPad2 and iPhone 4S users will stay without jailbroken devices.

I know. I hope this doesn't happen. I've been on 5.0 since I heard about it here and I've been waiting for the JB. I want to JB my iPad2 so bad. It was fun having a JB iPad1.
So many good and useful apps that you don't see everyday in the App store. It was like finding a buried treasure chest.
