What’s the next best thing to an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5? A Semitethered Jailbreak of course!
Just a few hours ago BigBoss released Semitethered Jailbreak, a new Cydia package that lets you reboot your iOS 5 jailbroken iPhone at will while away from your computer!
It’s not without it’s caveats, but it’s a whole lot better than a normal tethered jailbreak. Details inside…
To use Semitethered Jailbreak, simply do the following:
Step 1: Tether Jailbreak your iOS 5 device with RedSn0w.
Step 2: Add http://thebigboss.org/semitether to your Cydia sources.
Step 3: Install SemiTether and reboot!
Note: You can also follow iDB full video tutorial, here.
That’s it. Now you can reboot your iPhone, even away from your computer!
As mentioned, there are a few pluses and minuses though.
- Phone will reboot to Home screen
- Can use every stock app on iPhone except Mail and Safari until boot tether
- Can’t use Cydia, or any jailbreak apps and tweaks until boot tether
- Phone can take longer to boot
That’s a pretty good compromise, and sure beats having a looping apple logo if your phone happens to crash or reboot while away from the computer.
Have you used Semitethered Jailbreak yet? Are you excited?
