Knowing

With todays official iOS5 release, redsn0w has been updated to 0.9.9b5 to include the public URLs for the IPSW files. This way, first-time iOS5 jailbreakers dont need to supply the IPSW file manually. Its still a tethered jailbreak on all except the old-bootrom iPhone3GS, and it doesnt apply to iPad2 or the upcoming iPhone4S.

Because the jailbreak is currently only tethered for most devices, were not going to release a new PwnageTool yet. Instead, weve decided to build some of PwnageTools functionality into redsn0w (since you need redsn0w to "Just boot tethered" on every power cycle anyway). The new "Custom IPSW" button on the Extras screen will create a custom IPSW without the baseband update for 4.3.3 or 5.0gm (iPhone3GS and iPhone4 only, for now). Remember not to accidentally restore to the stock IPSW after you create the custom one! The custom one begins with NO_BB_ (for "no baseband").

You must enter "Pwned DFU" mode before trying to use the NO_BB_ IPSW with iTunes (and your hosts file cannot be pointing to Cydias servers due to the new blob nonce mechanism theyre using in iOS5).

Version 0.9.9b5 only available for Mac for now, until we can do more testing on the Windows version of "Custom IPSW".

Were currently working on a normal compatibility update for existing ultrasn0w unlockers. After that well try to fix the iBooks issue on jailbroken iOS5.
