Apple releases iOS 5.1.1 update, already Jailbroken

Apple has just released a minor update for its line of iOS devices namely the iPad, iPod Touch and the iPhone. The 5.1.1 update (54.5 MB in file size) focuses on improvements and bug fixes which include:

To get the update just plug in your device in your computer then fire up iTunes on your desktop and you will be prompted with the update or simply go to Settings â€“ General â€“ Software Update on your device to download it OTA.
Updates and upgrades are cool. This means less bugs and more fluid experience for iOS users. But this also means getting rid of your jailbreak.

Luckily for jailbreakers, the iOS 5.1.1 update is already PWNED! That’s right. You can now jailbreak tethered your A4 devices using Redsn0w. Follow the instructions here. Do this at your own risk though as this process voids your warranty and might brick your device.

Updated my iPhone 4S last night.

I haven’t seen any noticeable changes.
BUT, it made my battery life a bit worse.

PS. Lesson learned. The more you don’t use it, the more it will drain its battery. After full charge, I didn’t use it for about more than an hour and I was down to 91%.

@Okaoka

The update was pure BS. Sana the next update will PRIORITIZE the battery life.

may isa akong friend bumili ng iPhone pero ginagamit nya lang ang data features kung may wifi… di nya daw alam pano magbundle ng 3g data or pano maactivate ang data services ng sim nya hehehe… basta naka-iPhone lang cya, pity for him…

bact to topic, im really not a fan of JB, pero its interesting to know na meron talagang grupo na inaalam agad kung may JB na ba ang device and eventually improved/maximize the use of the device…

You can restore from iTunes. You don’t have to be tech savvy to be able to click a simple button called restore. -_-

And ALL jailbroken devices can be restored. The length of jailbroken state does not matter. Please do your research before writing misinformed comments.

And as far as jailbreaking is concerned, may mga jailbreak talaga na ma-uupdate ang baseband mo in such a way na hindi na sya supported ng latest iOS version. Eh ang alam ko, parang PSP, bawal ibaba ang baseband? tama ba? :)

By the way, thanks fhsumayrqan for answering. Pero yun nga din, hindi din nag direct selling ang apple store ng iPhone, puro sa networks nabibili yun. I’m using smart kasi, I really dont have problems with smart, fast 3g connection, there’s signal anywhere, pero I plan to use globe soon kasi most of my contacts are using globe. Ipapa unlock ko sana para isang phone na lang. unfortunately, mukhang wala pang unlock :)) anyways, thanks :P

you need to be tech savvy, hindi lahat ng na jailbreak puede restore sa iTunes specially kong matagal na jailbreak dahil lahat ng iphone nakaregistered sa itunes.

Hey, thanks baidu. In the states, diba AT&T sells iPhone na unlocked na? Is there a way to do that here in the Ph? I really want to be updated when it comes to iOS updates, that’s why I dont want to jailbreak. Hehehe sorry, daming tanong. Thanks again :D

uwag kang maniwala kay baidu, depende sa baseband mo na 8.10 something or higher walang unlock. Gevey sim card only works in lower baseband. yong sa at&t tawagan mo sila to unlock your phone but only to those who expired there contract ok. kong gusto mo ng unlock why you’ll not buy direct to apple store. i hope it helps you.

Note that this jailbreak will only work on A4 devices, so those with iPad 2 and newer should still stay away from iOS 5.1.1. This jailbreak will be tethered, so if you donâ€™t want to have to plug in your device whenever you reboot, donâ€™t update just yet. be careful dahil pudding mcra ang pom nyo.
