Guess not... I'm waiting as well. My 5.0 is working perfectly so makes more sense to avoid all the hassle
I bite the bullet and updated to 5.0.1. I thought it would take a longe time to configure everything, but if one just updates and uses Openbackup it's really fast to get back to what it was.
There are no news of them denying it, so it should still be coming out, I hope they don't go back on their word. There should be much more 5.0 users than 5.0.1 users.
Just checked a couple of hours ago, its not up, it certainly would be odd if the chronic dev team ditched this plan
I gotta be honest. I'm baffled at the sense of entitlement in the community.
The devs worked hard to get this untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak, yet you are too darn busy to just upgrade and reinstall your tweaks? It literally takes 30 min even if you have lots of tweaks, and many files can just be copied back and forth via SSH.
Just upgrade already and call it a day. In the time you've spent posting complaining about it you could have been there and done it.

Sense of entitlement? How so?
It was written on the blog IN 2011 that a 5.0 untether package would be released. Why would it be written if it was going to be released.
Not my cup of tea to spend hours of research to make sure every configuration will be right, a tether JB works fine for now, to upgrade and everything to change is a risky and quite frankly a foolish proposition.
A few people whine and complain for the untether JB and you overgeneralize it to everyone, pathetic.
Yeah!!! Where's our Hax0rz???? If someone blogged it, it must happen - and exactly when they said it would! Nothing can change from their plan - NOTHING!!!
Grab your torch and pitchforks everyone - we're going on a witch hunt!
Risky: Running a phone outwith its supported configuration, voiding any warranty you have with the manufacturer.
Foolish: Don't get me started.
Rather than keeping this thread alive with updates of 'nothing yet', why not either let it die until something DOES happen, or better still, go hack it yourself? There are people here who feel it's their right to have something which has been blogged/said/uttered and you are just fuelling the fire.
If you are an experienced jailbreak and fan of the community, you should know well that in general, even with Apple, software gets delayed a bit sometimes. That's how software release cycles most often work.
And I fail to see what you're saying, because if you backup then update, you can restore your data and even a lot of jailbreak settings tend to remain intact. Reinstalling cydia packages isn't fun, but it's not really hard either.
I don't recall saying "everyone", but there sure is an unwavering sense of entitlement among the forums. They owe us no jailbreak, no time line, no updates with progress, ect. Be thankful for what you have, and trust that given their generous track record, they will provide us with jailbreaks.
+1 Thank you
I will happily update to 5.0.1 if I need to, that is not the issue. The issue is knowing whether this package will really be released, because if so, it will make things much simpler. If not, then we have a right to clarify that so that we can stop waiting and do what we need to do to get an untether.
I would say based on the twitter posts they are all very busy on the a5 jailbreak. Once that is done they will be able to do the backport for both devices as they will have a way of applying it to the a5 as well.
