As many anxious people await the untethered iOS 5 jailbreak, here is something that could be of interest to you until the fully untethered jailbreak arrives – SemiTether.

SemiTether is the closest thing possible next to an actual untethered jailbreak. The guide below will teach you how to do this. Or you can watch the video above.

Step 1:

Have a jailbroken device. Guide for that can be found here.

Step 2:

Install SemiTether as demonstrated in the video below.

What this basically does is that it allows you to be able to turn your device back on after a full reboot and have access to all of your stock applications.

i always imagined this is how a tethered jailbreak should be.

Jailbroken when booted by PC on tethered jailbreak.

Not jailbroken when not booted by PC.
