The jailbreak tool Redsn0w has been updated and now has full support for iOS 5.1.1 on all A4 devices. Redsn0w which is compiled by the iPhone Dev team has now reached version 0.9.11 and allows users to jailbreak iOS 5.1.1.
The iPhone Dev Team have responded very quickly to the new iOS 5.1.1 release and the updates for Redsn0w have been arriving very quickly lately even though no new jailbreaks or iOS versions have arrived.
The Redsn0w jailbreak is still a tethered jailbreak solution and is limited to A4 devices which are the iPhone 4, iPad 1, iPod Touch 4 and 3G and the iPhone 3G. If you are looking to jailbreak iPhone 4 then this could be the solution for you.
There were some problems for users such as the HDR not performing properly when the camera was initiated by the lock screen button and AirPlay video playback and Safari bookmark syncing was also causes problems. These issues have all disappeared after downloading and installing iOS 5.1.1.
As far as a potential untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 goes, we are still waiting to hear from I0n1c and Pod2g who are working on this. Those who are running the new 3rd generation iPad will be the keenest to see if a jailbreak is on its way. We will of course keep everyone updated as news reaches us here.
For the moment though, if you are looking to jailbreak iPhone 4 and don�t mind a tethered jailbreak then the new version of Redsn0w is just what you need.
