In the morning I wrote an article in which I told you that a semitethered jailbreak solution has been released for our iDevices with iOS 5 installed. Unfortunately, an untethered jailbreak solution is still being developed, so for those who travel a lot, there is now a method to have a semi-active terminal even after a reset. The tethered jailbreak is a state in which our iDevice is jailbroken, it can be used without problems, but in case of closing or resetting it, we will have to enter it into tethered mode to restart it. Basically, the notion of tethered represents the obligation to use a computer to restart the iDevice after it shuts down.
The semitethered jailbreak released today solves part of the problem of the tethered jailbreak, but unfortunately it is far from being a true solution for untethered jailbreak. Basically, this semi-tethered jailbreak gives us the opportunity to start an iDevice that has a tethered jailbreak, but we will only be able to use a few applications from our device, more precisely the Phone/Messages applications, the applications installed from the App Store and that's about it. We can send messages with the Messages application, but we cannot use Safari, the Mail application, so basically we can call someone if we need to or send them an SMS. Another big problem with this semi-tethered jailbreak is that it doesn't work correctly for now, that is, although the device boots correctly after closing/resetting, you may have problems when re-entering tethered mode. BigBoss, the developer of the solution, is working on solving the problems, but it is not known how long it will take.
The Semitethered jailbreak is useful for those who do not have a computer with them all the time and need the telephony/messaging function to be constantly functional. For the rest, my recommendation is to wait a few days until this solution is updated to solve some of the existing bugs.
