To Semitether your device:
Step 1: Tether Jailbreak your iOS 5 device with RedSn0w (Complete download and guide HERE)
Step 2: Add http: //thebigboss.org/semitether to your Cydia sources.
Step 3: Install SemiTether and rebootm.
Step 4: Since it’s still tethered, you’ll need to make just tethered boot from redsn0w.
STEP 5: Once done with the tethered boot, you’ll be able to reboot your device without being stuck on Apple logo.
It`s a great help and a major advancement, but it still has caveats:
According to the BigBoss:
1) Can use phone, sms (text messages)
2) Can use every other stock app on iphone.
3) Cannot use mobile safari
4) Can use other appstore web browsers such as atomic web browser
5) Cannot use mail app. You could install a gmail app from appstore or such instead.
6) You cannot use any jailbreak tweak, app, cydia until you boot tethered.
7) While in the semitether booted state, you should not add a jailbreak ios5 notification such as sbsettings to notifications during this state or your device will be stuck in a respring loop until you get home to “boot tethered”.
Despite the limitations, it`s still great news for everyone.
Early reports suggest that the update has indeed resolved those issues in iOS 5 as promised. However iOS 5.0.1 is going to be tethered since Apple has fixed the iOS bug discovered by Charlie Miller in this update. In case you don`t remember, tethered jailbreak means you`ll have to connect your device to the PC every time you reboot. That`s why if you`re planning to jailbreak your iDevice, don`t update to that version.
Here`s how you jailbreak iOS 5.0.1:
Step 1: Download the latest version of iTunes (10.5) for Windows or Mac.
Step 2: Back your iDevice up through iTunes. We’re not expecting anything to go majorly wrong – it’s just a precautionary measure.
Step 3: Update your device to iOS 5.0.1.
Step 4: Download the latest version of Redsn0w for Windows or Mac.
Step 5: Run Redsn0w. Select "Extras", followed by "Select IPSW", and point it to the iOS 5.0 firmware file, Select the appropriate firmware file tailored for your iDevice.
Step 6: Then hit "Jailbreak", and select "Install Cydia". Follow the steps through DFU mode, and then Redsn0w will apply the jailbreak.
Step 7: Once everything is complete, you will need to boot tethered. Launch Redsn0w, select "Extras", followed by "Just Boot". You will need to perform this action every time your device is switched off or rebooted.
STEP 8: Now head to Cydia then search for “SemiTether” and install the tool:
NOTE: The last step about SemiTether is optional for users. It will allow you to reboot your device without need to a computer to connect to. You’ll lose some functions like opening mail and almost all jailbreak tweaks. You can read more here.
