Corona A5 jailbreak nearly ready to pop!

It's incredibly annoying that they told us to update ASAP when they knew full well it wasn't necessary.

The threads i am waiting for are the "Accidently updated" "Lost Jailbreak" "bricked phone, please help"

Yea I think there have been CLI jailbreak options in the past too. I don't think they would release it half-baked to the community.

If the Dev-Team thought the method was ready, they would have integrated it into Redsn0w instead of offering a CLI app. That they did not means that they think the method needs more debugging for perfection. Musclenerd said as much in his post: when they've perfected the method, they fully intend to add it to Redsn0w.

Any chance we will get a release today?

Yes, there exists a chance.

I'm not a betting man, but I reckon within the next 12 hours.

I think we'll see the chronic tool / CLI released today, and redsn0w support in the coming days.

So how do you roll back to the older 5.0.1 baseband? I knew I should have kept 5.0 damnit...

You can grab it from here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750

I'm annoyed by that too. Why tell us to update if it's not necessary?

I just did it last night myself. Not sure why really since I don't depend on an unlock.

To downgrade to 9A405 from 9A406, just put your phone into DFU mode and restore to the 9A405 .ipsw

Looks like the unlock will be for 5.0 only anyways though.
