iOS 5 Countdown- Beta Jailbreak- Part 7

Jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 4 Using Redsn0w 0.9.8b4 – Apple has released iOS 5 Beta 4 yesterday, and iOS 5 Beta 4 Jailbreak has already released, looks like Dev-team just wait for apple to release any update, so that they can jailbreak. The jailbreak (redsn0w Jailbreak) will let users install Cydia, which allows them to use apps unapproved and unsanctioned by Apple.

It is not a complete jailbreak yet its only a tethered jailbreak. That means users who reboot their devices will need to run redsn0w again to force it back into jail-broken mode. If you jailbreak your i device on iOS 5, you wont get OTA updates from Apple, as explained by MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev-Team:

The 5.0b4 OTA update won’t work on JB devices due to an explicit check of /Applications..almost like a present from Apple.

NOTE: It appears that by design, the OTA update that became available starting with iOS 5 beta4 will *not* be automatically applied to jailbroken devices. That’s a relief to those who don’t want to lose their jailbreak via OTA pushes. If you’re jailbroken, you’ll need to use the standard iTunes method to get to iOS 5 beta4.
