iH8snow, a famous hacker behind many jailbreak tools like sn0wbreeze, iFaith, has released the latest version of his jailbreak tool. Sn0wbreeze 2.8b6 is now capable of jailbreaking newely released iOS firmware for developers. It can now jailbreak and activate iOS 5 beta 6 released earlier this week. It can be only accessed by developers who have choose to participate in Apple developer program.
In normal case Apple checks UDID to check the legitimacy of the user as a developer. If it fails to recognize developer UDID on device it locks the device. Sn0wbreeze 2.8b6 now removes UDID check and hacktivates the devices. You do not need to go through lengthy process, and the positive side of sn0wbreeze is that it doesn't update your baseband. Advantage of not updating the baseband is that you can unlock your device at any point of time using the unlock tool like ultrans0w.
You can sn0wbreeze 2.8b6 to create a custom firmware using original iOS stock firmware. Later, you need to use beta version of iTunes to restore this custom firmware on your device. On the other hand redsn0w upgrades the baseband and you need to update to stock firmware. The downside of the redsn0w is that you will loose jailbreak and ultrasn0w as you have to update to stock firmware.Sn0wbreeze provides only tethered jailbreak except iPhone 3GS old bootrom device. iPhone 3GS old bootrom devices are jailbroken for life. You need to use a small utility called iREB in order to boot your device into jailbroken state. We strongly advice readers to not to use such methos as iOS 5 beta 6 comes with an expiry date. It is prone to many bugs and it is strictly prohibited to developers only. However, if you are one of those who love to take on challenges should not fear using beta versions of iOS firmware.
You can sign up to iOS developers account for merely $99 per year and it gives you an unlimited access to all the resources from Apple. You will love to enjoy all those software which are designed especially for developers only. Beta timer check available in sn0wbreeze 2.8 removes the restriction imposed by Apple. You need not to worry about the expiry of the beta firmware, and activator helps you to hacktivate your device so you could use it with another carrier or use cydia apps to install on your iDevice.
Perform jailbreaking iOS 5 beta firmware operation at your own risk.
