Sn0wbreeze version 2.8 beta 5 was announced earlier this week by iH8sn0w in a statement on Pastie. This is a website that is often used to share code between developers. The main things for users is that they will be able to jailbreak iOS 5 beta 5 and they will be able to save and create custom jailbroken ISW firmware files. They can also create custom packages and change the boot screen logo and later use this on any supported devices.
Once users have obtained a modified IPSW file they can simple restore it using iTunes with their device in DFU mode. All the instructions on how to do this are provided by the tool itself which is great.
One thing that must be pointed out, is the fact that this is a tethered jailbreak and this means that users have to plug their devices into their PC�s every time it loses power or restarts. Users also have to run iBooty which is included in the Sn0wbreeze package every time the device is powered on. This may sound painful but it is the best way to jailbreak iOS 5 beta 5 at the moment and there doesn�t seem to be any untethered jailbreak solution in the pipeline that is going to be offered any time soon. The untethered jailbreak is not expected to make an appearance until the final version of iOS 5 is officially released this fall.
This jailbreak method won�t work on the iPad 2 or the iPhone 3GS with the old baseband but it should work perfectly with all other devices.
