As you probably already know, Redsn0w 0.9.8b7 available for both Mac and Windows can already jailbreak iOS Beta 7. What you perhaps didn�t know, was that if you rely on a carrier unlock, iPhone developer and hacker iH8sn0w has just released Sn0wbreeze 2.8b7 for Windows which can jailbreak the latest version of iOS 5 and preserve the old baseband. Hacktivation is also supported on the iPhone 4 and 3GS which means they can be unlocked using Ultrasn0w or Gevey SIM.
This new version of Sn0wbreeze can also remove the Beta expiry time set by Apple and UDID check so that those who don�t have an Apple Developer account can install iOS 5 Beta 7 on any iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. By default, iOS 5 Beta 7 will expire on October 20th.
As with all the current iOS 5 jailbreaks, Sn0wbreeze is also limited to a tethered boot only for devices except for old bootrom iPhone 3GS which is untethered. The iOS 5 jailbreak on the iPad 2 is not supported so unfortunately iPad 2 users won�t be able to make use of it.
