pod2g update via his blog

With ios 5 in general there have been more betas than any other ios before it.

There were 7 betas for 5.0 so assuming that there will be 1-3 for 5.1 is just a guess at most.
We don't know when 5.1 will come out it might be 2 weeks or 4 or 6.

No one knows except Apple.

I think waiting to release the JB for the next version is kinda futile.
5.0 or 5.0.1 JB should satisfy all iphone users at this point.

I really cant see a big improvement in 5.1 anyway (like the big update to features etc. was 5.0 ) so there should be a JB released for it. Especially since there are numerous a couple of videos showing the JB already. Whats with the teasing?

I understand the issue with not wanting to release too soon but what's there to say that ios 5.2 won't come out immediately after 5.1 does? I cant really see a big improvement in updating to 5.1 anyway. 4.XX to 5.0 yes but 5.1 wont really be as big; hence the need for a 5.0 JB more than 5.1

Because 5.x updates dont come out as fast. They are usually bigger improvements than 5.x.x releases.
You might see 5.1.1 released after to patch the jb hole but not 5.2 immediately.
And since we might be only days or weeks away from 5.1 its pointless to release it now for 5.0.1
And trust me I would kill for a JB right now but waiting for 5.1 makes more sense IMO.

Actually, it's pretty easy to predict when at least the next beta will be released. With Apple, generally the time gap between betas decreases with each release, and is on average 2 weeks.

I don't know exact facts of all beta releases, but I'm pretty sure that most .1.0, .2.0, ect. updates only see 3 betas at most. With that information provided, it's self-evident that we should see 5.1 before the middle of January at the latest.

So with all respect, you don't seem to notice the trends between iOS incremental updates. There is a pattern and unless something goes horribly wrong, it's easy to guesstimate the month an update will be released.

i think this beta of 5.1 expires 31 12 2011 ,,,,

Which means that either 5.1 is due before the end of 2011, or we could still see a beta 3 to last us through the middle of Jan 2012. Either way, 5.1 is coming very soon, so fingers crossed so is the downgrade path using blobs for A5 devices, the unlock as being prepared by MN, and an untethered, or at least SOME sort of jailbreak, for all iOS 5.1 devices.

Amen.
I hope Santa is good to us this year and brings all of us untethered jailbreaks and unlocks:D
 
I'm currently on 5.0 and not sure if I should upgrade to 5.0.1 before a 5.1 comes out?????

it's simple to answer, if you don't want the new feature (for iPad 1st) and you're not having any problems with 5.0, why bother to upgrade?
anyway, you can upgrade and dump your shsh blobs (for 5.0 and 5.0.1)

I assumed 5.0 wonlt have an untethered JB since his posts all stated 5.0.1.
 
I'm excited to go to iOS 5 with an untethered JB. I'm on 4.3.5 right now and would love to JB but I'm waiting for the iOS 5 untethered to be released so I can save my SHSH blobs and be on something newer than this 4.3.X. :)
 
Latest post on his blog sounds promising. He didn't have the money to buy either an iPad2 nor iPhone 4S. Thanks to the donations, he finally does. and will update on any progress.

For now, I'd say that if you have a 4S, let's see what iHackman007 has to say on 12/25, then go with pod2g. MN will come along with an unlock when he's ready.

BL.
 
latest from pod2g.

he has a 4S in his hand, and states he will work very hard on it.

im sure he got 5.0.1 on it, might need to update.

well, if the exploit wasnt solely based on the A4, then yes.

I think it's user land, which means it's reliant on the iOS version, not the hardware. Of course the downside means it can easily be patched in 5.1 or 5.1.1 if it's user land based, but at least that means we can FINALLY have an iOS 5 untethered jailbreak or at least something for A5 devices.
 
Assuming we get a JB for iPhone 4S, what's the chance of getting an unlock at the same time or shortly thereafter?

Chances are slim, but possible, They are working on it, however JB is required in order to unlock, while some already got a partial JB and have been working on it for a while, a Public jailbreak would allow more people to work on it.

My personal guess is that the unlock would take a few weeks after
 
Pod2g just said on his blog that the 4S untether failed, but he will still continue working and maybe there will be success if he has luck.
