Jailbreak 3gs on ios5?

[Mobster103]

Hey guys, I know you must be getting fed up with these threads, but I can't find the exact answer I'm looking for. I have an iphone 3gs running 4.0.1 and it is jailbroken. I would like to update to ios5 because it admittedly looks pretty good, and I want to try siri0us too. Now what I'm trying to find out is if there is an unthethered jailbreak for any of the ios5 versions. If so, how can I only update to say 5.0.1 rather than 5.0.2? Thanks in advance!

If you have an old boot rom yes it can be untethered. Ya need to download idetector and follow instructions and it will tell you old or new boot rom and we will go from there

[Mobster103]

it keeps claiming that no idevice is found...

Need to do the steps took me a while to hold top power button 3 seconds while still holding power button hold home button for 10 seconds then release power button and continue to hold home button. While ya holding home button use other hand the click the button

nope man it's still not working. Even itunes says it's in recovery mode, but the idetector says it's not...

Edit: i did it manually and when I look in the usb driver info all it says is usb/something... no numbers like 359.2 or whatever

Ok then download snowbreeze and make a custom firmware with that.

After its made make sure you are in pwned dfu mode and then shift click restore and put the file snowbreeze made in there and let it do it's thing

I just got done doing this so I'll try to stay up and make sure all goes well lemme know

[Mobster103]

I don't really understand that part...

Download snowbreeze open it up and it will have a spot create custom firmware click ok and it will load and make a new one.

Ok and once I do that, since I have the old bootrom, it'll be untethered meaning I can reboot whenever?

84932

FYI for people that are wondering how you can tell old/new bootrom from first 5 digits of serial number... The iPhone 3GS made before week 40 of 2009 are old bootroms, the 3rd digit of the serial # is the year, and the 4th and 5th digits are the week of that year. Thus in serial number that begins with 84932, we know it was made in week 32 of 2009, making it the old bootrom

Just thought I'd share that with people wondering how to figure old/new bootroms by the serial
