3GS 5.13.04 ***32 old boot w/4.2.1, should I bother with iOS 5?

I only have SHSH up to 4.3.2, and there are some SHSH I have for 5.1b1 and 5.0.1 9A405, 9A402 gives me error (11) with BB. Redsn0w won't customize 5.1 or 9A405, only 9A402.

Should I even bother? I hear mixed reports about 5.x running better on 3GS.

 

Cool. I'm going to boot into Windows and give it a try I guess. I also want to run iFaith.

 

Yea, Sn0wbreeze seems to have worked with 5.0.1 9A405 no problems with a custom BB. No refusal by iTunes, and a good thing I kept my original SIMM. Redsn0w wouldn't even customize the 405 for me.

The UI runs pretty smooth on 5.0.1 so far.

 

Did you jailbreak it with 5.0.0? or 5.0.1? So I guess 3GS OBR doesn't even have a tethered JB?

 

Right, thanks. Just wanted to make sure I was on the same page. Hopefully the 3GS OBR JB isn't far off... and at least I can try 5.0.1 without losing my BB.

 

Actually that's wrong. I have an untethered jailbreak now on 5.0.1 9A405 with 3GS OBR.

I was able to make a customized baseband (BB) for 3GS OBR ipsw using 9A405 and Sn0wbreeze. Windows iTunes also let me install it.

Then, I was able to use Mac Redsn0w to jailbreak by selecting 9A402 ipsw. For some reason, 9A405 fingerprint is not supported.

Now I have and an untehtered 3GS OBR jailbreak w/Cydia on 5.0.1 9A405.

 

I just meant my previous post and understanding was wrong. Sorry for the confusion, it was my own.
