that's talent right there. maybe a little inside info? who cares. i hope there will be a way to downgrade back to a jailbreakable 5.0 once apple patches and releases an update once this is released

looking forward to it ....even though it will most likely be tethered

if its tether that would be awesome because that means its pwned for life. Tethered always, untethered sometimes when an exploit like jailbreakme uses comes up. Nah, its untethered fast and easy to patch by apple, and what sucks most that you cant downgrade or even restore to old firmwares :U apple singlehandedly destroyed the whole shsh blobs industry.

It's best to tether jb and use semiTether. I have had to just boot several times thru redsn0w but I am new to tethered jailbreaks.

If you look at the dev teams tweets, maybe it's ih8snows, but they say that the semi-tether is the most unstable shacky code they've ever seen and that you're better off not to use it.ill take the word of some devs that know what they're talking about. From what I've heard A LOT of people are having to restore then rejb after trying to use the features of the semi-tether. I haven't personally used it or know anybody who has had that issue but I won't take my chances.

Semi-tethered jailbroken ios5 works great. No issues with it so far

Keep saying I am gonna try that out because I need to turn my phone off a lot when not near computer. It is a great solution for a tethered jailbreak though. That way you can still use phone part.

If your on a tethered jailbreak and your out and about and happen to install something from cydia that requires a "reboot device" to prevent yourself from being screwed either just hit the home button and exit cydia and wait till you get home, or you can use sbsettings to respring and you will be able to get back into cydia without rebooting the device. Just a nice piece of info if you did not already know this....

I found that sbsettings doesn't work when at the "Reboot Device" screen in Cydia. I also found that simply closing out of cydia doesn't always close the program. It sometimes will still automatically reboot your device immediately after you close cydia.
