Jailbreak 5.1.1 iPhone 4,3Gs iPad iPod Touch Using Redsn0w (iOS Tutorial)


Jailbreak 5.1.1 tutorial

how to redsn0w jailbreak 5.1.1 ios untethered

Today the iPhone Dev Team updated Redsn0w to include iOS 5.1.1 support. It’s no long required to “trick” Redsn0w in to Jailbreaking 5.1.1 by pointing it at the iOS 5.1 IPSW. While the utility has been updated, note that it’s still a tethered Jailbreak and that it’s best to stay on a lower firmware if at all possible.

Thanks to the new version of Redsn0w, Jailbreaking is even easier than before and you can be Jailbroken in a matter of minutes! Without any further ado, this tutorial will guide you through the simple steps required to Jailbreak 5.1.1.

First, You Will Need the following:
An A4 (iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4th-gen, iPad 1) device or older (iPhone 3Gs, iPod Touch 3rd-gen)
Apple’s iOS 5.1.1 running on your device
Redsn0w 0.9.11b1 (Available in the download section below)
Steps:

1. Open Redsn0w after downloading it

(if you’re on Windows Vista or Windows 7, you’ll need to right click Redsn0w, set the compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and run it as an administrator)

2. Click ‘Jailbreak’ and enter DFU mode by following these easy steps:

  • Hold down the home and power button together for a total of ten seconds
  • After ten seconds, let go of power and continue holding home button for 20 seconds

3. Select install Cydia and other options that apply to you (except “Install custom bundles”)

4. After the process completes, wait for your device to reboot (the video shows how long the process takes)

5. Close out of Redsn0w – this is a very important step

6. Open Redsn0w again, go to ‘Extras’, click ‘Just boot’ and enter DFU mode by following the instructions found in step two

Congratulations, you’re now Jailbroken on iOS 5.1.1!

  • wkcreative

    We are getting “Data Not Fetched” on a mac.

    • doGood

      same issue as this user- kept trying and trying.. steps that worked for me:
      -after a failed attemept (data not fetched response) i rebooted mac- 3gs still in recovery mode
      -launched redsnow0.9.11b4- recognized 3gs as 5.1.1 in recovery 
      - clicked jb and when on the dfu mode screen i just proceeded to put the phone in dfu per uzh (even though redsn0w recognized as recovery mode)
      -it then turns off (next button highlights)s but you must hold power/home button untill it turns off again and then screen flashes then let go of power and just hold home
      -redsn0w goes into analysis of ios software and recognized the 3gs on 5.1.1 and proceeded with jb

      if you must know, i am aware of Absinthe, but it requires the phone to be activated since it doesn’t activate like redsn0w. Thnx for OP.
