We have all waited for this day to come for a few months now. The wait ends here as you can finally jailbreak any iOS device running 5.0.1. Regrettably, this is not compatible with A5 Processor Based devices such as the iPhone 4s, or iPad 2. In order to proceed, check this out.
Developers have made a great job on developing these methods. Make sure iTunes is up to date in any case before proceeding. After that, you can do any of the following:
Devices Already Jailbroken in Tethered iOS 5.0.1
1. Open Cydia and Search for a Package called "Corona 5.0.1 Untether" and install it.
Your device will now be safe to reboot, and you should be in an untethered jailbreak. As simple as that you can enjoy it.
Devices Running iOS 5.0.1 Without Jailbreak
1. Download the latest Redsn0w for Windows or Mac.
2. Update your device o iOS 5.0.1 using iTunes.
3. Once completed, start Redsn0w and hit "Jailbreak". Follow the on-screen instructions. Once prompted, select "Install Cydia".
4. Wait for Redsn0w to apply the full untethered Jailbreak.
Devices that rely on carrier unlock!
If you rely on a carrier unlock, you must preserve your old baseband. This works only if you're running on any firmware below 5.0 (4.3.3 for instance). To preserve your baseband, use the Custom IPSW mode in Redsn0w.
