Posted to Twitter by developer @<a href="https://twitter.com/#!/pod2g/status/145129035276623872">pod2g</a>, the video shown below clearly demonstrates an iOS 5 device rebooting and working normally while maintaining the jailbroken state, proving the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/24/tethered-jailbreak-vs-untethered-jailbreak/">untethered status</a>.</p> <p>The upcoming release is said to work on both iOS 5 and iOS 5.0.1, and while the video shows an iPod touch, it is unclear if the untether will work on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Presumably those devices will be tested at a later time when the jailbreak has been refined. No release date has been set, but typically these teaser videos show up not long before public availability of a new jailbreak.</p> <p>Current <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/11/use-redsn0w-to-jailbreak-ios-5-0-1/">jailbreaks for iOS 5 and iOS 5.0.1</a> are tethered, meaning they must be connected to a computer and booted with the assistance of a helper application. This is more of a nuisance than anything else, because if a device runs out of battery on the road you must be around a computer to have it working again.</p> <p><iframe width="600" height="437" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kp_Mz6rs9fc?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/A20Lo89LW-AjkuQLOVapqonVKBM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/A20Lo89LW-AjkuQLOVapqonVKBM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/A20Lo89LW-AjkuQLOVapqonVKBM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/A20Lo89LW-AjkuQLOVapqonVKBM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=mtycXp1K8go:CgjN5gfgzIg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=mtycXp1K8go:CgjN5gfgzIg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=mtycXp1K8go:CgjN5gfgzIg:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=mtycXp1K8go:CgjN5gfgzIg:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=mtycXp1K8go:CgjN5gfgzIg:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=mtycXp1K8go:CgjN5gfgzIg:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=mtycXp1K8go:CgjN5gfgzIg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/mtycXp1K8go" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
