‘Semitethered’ Jailbreak For iOS 5 Released!

[Yashaka]

What’s the next best thing to an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5? A Semitethered Jailbreak of course!

Just a few minutes ago BigBoss released Semitethered Jailbreak, a new Cydia package that lets you reboot your iOS 5 jailbroken iPhone at will while away from your computer!

It’s not without it’s caveats, but it’s a whole lot better than a normal tethered jailbreak. Details inside…


****UPDATE 4****

Version; 0.9.1-1

BigBoss releases a new update of its SemiTethered Jailbreak, let me remind you that provides the ability to restart in case of not having to connect to the computer but with the inhibition of some features (recoverable at any time via a tethered boot). The tool reaches SemiTether build 0.9.1-1 and this update fixes some bugs. Therefore it is recommended that you upgrade.

============================================

****UPDATE 3****

The popular SemiTether jailbreak was updated to v0.9.1 this morning, and it’s quite the update.

Working with Saurik, the team was able to fully incorporate the new mobile substrate, which allowed them to get rid of the daemon patching and restarting.

Mobile substrate now does all of the heavy lifting when it comes to the SemiTether. There’s even an option to patch Safari to work in non-jailbreak mode now.

Perhaps most importantly, the new version of SemiTether will protect your iOS 5 Notification Center plugins…

Along with that much needed feature, the team also says that they are looking into patching Mail, and working with the developers of MyWi and AppSync.

Per BigBoss here are is the summary of changes:

]1) Much more stable with new mobile substrate
2) Can patch safari so it works in the non-jailbreak reboot mode
3) App to monitor the status of your semitether and reapply. Check after Cydia installs.

The team states that this update will certainly address the “flakiness” of the previous versions of SemiTether, but to keep in mind that this is still a beta package, and a complete rewrite of mobile substrate.

============================================

UPDATE # 2
What's New:
● Reworked the app sync conflicts
● Reworked daemon loading order to hopefully solve 2 issues.
1) Reboot after 2 mins on some devices
2) app sync with itunes issue on some devices.

Note: This version now takes 60-90 seconds after reboot and it will respring again then your device should be usable.

\

Update # 1

I updated to 0.7.9. This version will take about 90 seconds after it first boots up and then your device will respring again. This timing was the only way to get some of the launch daemons to properly relaunch.

This version should fix issues for some of you folks where:
1) Device does not sync with itunes and only errors. Hopefully solved.
2) Device reboots after 2-3 minutes.
3) App sync issue – this is unworkable. Appsync hard patches system files and does not even use mobile substrate. I had to conflict with it. For now, semi-tether boot is impossible with appsync. You guys need to bug those guys to fix appsync to use mobile substrate (like everyone else uses).

Note, Saurik is working on an update to mobile substrate that will solve many of the issues with the semi-tether package. Hopefully this will be out in a day or two. At this time, we can finalize beta testing. I plan to hold further updates until after Saurik has released his mobile substrate update. Saurik’s updates will eliminate the need for the long 90 second respring on boot also.

This update was only tested on iphone 4. After saurik’s mobile substrate changes, more devices will be tested. Next updates coming in next 2-3 days.

To use Semitethered Jailbreak, simply do the following:
Step 1: Tether Jailbreak your iOS 5 device with RedSn0w
Step 2: Add "http://thebigboss.org/semitether" to your Cydia sources
Step 3: Install SemiTether and reboot!

Note: You can also follow A complete Guide,Here How to Perform a Semi Tethered Jailbreak

That’s it. Now you can reboot your iPhone, even away from your computer!

As mentioned, there are a few pluses and minuses though.

-Phone will reboot to Home screen
-Can use every stock app on iPhone except Mail and Safari until boot tether
-Can’t use Cydia, or any jailbreak apps and tweaks until boot tether
-Phone can take longer to boot


That’s a pretty good compromise, and sure beats having a looping apple logo if your phone happens to crash or reboot while away from the computer.

Let’s just call it really good jailbreak life insurance, shall we? Video coming shortly!

Have you used Semitethered Jailbreak yet? Are you excited?

What is a semi tethered jailbreak?

The semi-tethered jailbreak will allow you to reboot on the road, but with limited functionality. It is enough that you are no longer stranded, and you can use your phone, text, and many other features. This is just until you get home and can use redsn0w again to “just boot tethered”. Once you do that, you’re back to fully functional state.

Here is a summary of what you can and cannot do when in semi-tethered reboot state:

Can use phone, sms (text messages)
Can use every other stock app on iphone.
Cannot use mobile safari
Can use other appstore web browsers such as atomic web browser
Cannot use mail app. You could install a gmail app from appstore or such instead.
You cannot use any jailbreak tweak, app, cydia until you boot tethered.
While in the semitether booted state, you should not add a jailbreak ios5 notification such as sbsettings to notifications during this state or your device will be stuck in a respring loop until you get home to “boot tethered”.

Try AT YOUR OWN RISK

Semi-Tethered Jailbreak

What is the semi-tethered jailbreak? That’s of course what’s on your mind.
The tethered jailbreak main problem is that you will have to connect your device to the computer every time your iOS device reboots or looses power, Or else you will be stuck on the Apple logo.
The untethered jailbreak is a full jailbreak which makes you able to power off your device and reboot it with out the need to reconnect it to the computer and jailbreak it again.
The semi-tethered jailbreak is some where in between the two types above. You will be able to use your device if it looses power or reboots but with limited access to the apps and features but you will be able to make calls and text. An awesome feature if you are on the road and your device reboots or looses power.

iOS 5 Untethered Jailbreak Covered :

i0n1c has confirmed on his Twitter account that iOS 5 untethered jailbreak is covered successfully. So the hackers are now performing their tests and modification on iOS 5 to release the final version of iOS 5 untethered jailbreak. Precisely, the hackers found untethered hack not a new jailbreaks. So the iPhone Dev-team and iH8sn0w would merge this hack on Sn0wbreeze, Redsn0w and PwnageTool to get the iOS 5 untethered jailbreak on your iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4G, 3G, iPad 2 and 1.

iOS 5 Untethered Jailbreak - Who is behind it ?

i0n1c didn't announce who is the hacker who found iOS 5 untethered jailbreak. He just give us some choices to guess who is the talented one. They are p0sixninja, pod2G, 0xcharlie, dinodaizovi, msuiche and thegrugq. Anyway this doesn't matter, we will thank the one behind this. But you have to know that we have already more than 1 team is already work on iOS 5 untethered jailbreak.

iOS 5 untethered Jailbreak - Supported Devices and Release Date :

There is no official word from hackers about the supported devices nor the release date. But our vision that A5 devices (iPad 2 and iPhone 4S) will be supported in addition to iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4G, 3G and iPad 1, our vision is based on p0sixninja's statement on the last Jailbreak event. Our vision about the release date of iOS 5 untethered jailbreak, we expect that hackers are very aware with the iOS 5 firmware as Apple released 8 versions of iOS 5 for developers until we get the iOS 5 final version According to this we expect that the hackers will take few days / weeks to put the final touchs on iOS 5 untethered jailbreak
