In this post, which is a followup on my From JailBreak to Jailbreak post, I will describe the same procedure for A5 devices (iPhone 4S and iPad 2).

A lot of the stuff is really the same so I will not describe that again, this includes the actual update to iOs 5.01, xBackup, SHSH signatures and backup using iTunes.

Currently the Jailbreak for A5 devices with iOS 5 is only for iOS 5.01. Since Apple is expected to release iOS 5.1 very soon it’s highly recommended to update to iOS 5.01 NOW. Especially because it’s not yet possible to downgrade to iOS 5.01 using Tiny Umbrella.

A Jailbreak for iOS 5.01 on A5 devices (the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S) has been released today. If you didn’t yet update your devices to 5.01 now is the time because Apple is expected to release iOS 5.1 very soon.

The exploits that are used to make the jailbreak possible on iOS 5.01 have been fixed in iOS 5.1 and will not work.

Although you can save your SHSH blobs for 5.01 it’s not possible to restore to iOS 5.01 on the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 3G using Tiny Umbrella.

The current jailbreak (Absinthe) is Untethered and only available for Mac OS X for now.

If you want to unlock your iPhone 4S than you are advised to the 9A405-version of iOS 5.0.1 since this version is running on an older baseband for which an unlock possibility is expected.

A few days ago I decided to update my iPhone which was still running iOS 4.3.1 to iOS 5.0.1. I delayed this update for a while because I had Jailbreaked my iPhone. Unfortunately an update is much more work when you have Jailbreaked because you also have to restore Cydia settings such as the repositories and Cydia installed Apps.

This blog post is not a guide on how to Jailbreak but more a collections of tips to go from a Jailbreak iOS 4.x to iOS 5.01.

If you notice any extra steps while doing your update please send them to me so I can add them to this post.

I am a person that has two phones one for business and one for private. Why? I just want to keep private and working live separated. But this is not always possible. So I got two cell phones one IPhone and one android. And I must say the android is fine but there is a difference. So i like the IPhone more than the android and i don’t want to walk around with two phones all the time so I forwarded the calls that are made to the android phone to the IPhone but I was still missing the SMS that where send! Yeah the old school thing before whatsapp    so I was looking for a app that will forward my SMS including the sender data (name and phone number). There are several free apps that will do this for you but without the senders data and that’s not handy. So I found a paid app for android that works great! And yes it is a paid app! So what did the android community brought us more than the Iphone community? I don’t know! If you want a good app you must paid for it (There are always exceptions). The app is called SMS Forwarder Pro and can be found in the market place for €1,15 ! I think this is the best app ever for an android  

So in the end I think all android phone users dream of apple because why else would this app exist  

I am running a virtualized Mac OS X machine in my VMWare Workstation but I noticed that after a period of inactivity the virtual machine would sometimes freeze.

Because this only happens after inactivity I assumed it had something to do with Power Saving so I changed the Energy Saver settings and that fixed it!
