The iPhone Dev Team have updated their redsn0w jailbreak program. They have now released redsn0w 0.9.8 beta 2 for jailbreaking iOS 5 beta 3 tethered on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Redsn0w 0.9.8b2 is available for download on both Windows and Mac machines.

MuscleNerd, member of the iPhone Dev Team tweeted:

redsn0w 0.9.8b2 http://is.gd/6eek4Y should fix 50b3 App Store issue (if you're already JB, just use this to boot tethered)

Basically, those who had jailbroken iOS 5 beta 3 with redsn0w 0.9.8b1 were complaining that apps downloaded from the App Store were not opening. This is a sandbox issue, and to fix that, redsn0w 0.9.8b2 has been released which now recognizes the ipsws of all three iOS 5 betas. So when you follow our guide to jailbreak iOS 5 using redsn0w, just select the iOS 5 beta 3 ipsw and boot tethered. No need to re-run the jailbreak if you have already jailbroken iOS 5 beta 3 with redsn0w 0.9.8b1.

On the other hand, if you are doing a fresh jailbreak, then you obviously have to install Cydia. Do remember that this jailbreak is tethered and will require you to connect the device to the computer each time it has to boot up.

Just a quick heads-up: notcom just updated TinyUmbrella to v5.00.04. The new updated brings support for iOS5b3 and fixes a stupid name encoding bug where folks would see their device name show up like this: “John‚Äôs iPad” instead of “John’s iPad”.

---------------------------------------------
sn0wbreeze v2.8b4 -- For iOS 5.0 b3(9A5259f)
---------------------------------------------
* Intended only for developers (as usual).
* Hacktivation is disabled (again).
* MAKE SURE YOU UPDATE TO iTunes 10.5 BETA 3!

Supported Devices/Tethered?
---------------------------------------------
iPhone 3G[S] (old bootrom)       [UNTETHERED]
iPhone 3G[S] (new bootrom)       [TETHERED]
iPhone 4 (GSM)                   [TETHERED]
iPhone 4 (CDMA)                  [TETHERED]
iPod Touch 3G                    [TETHERED]
iPod Touch 4                     [TETHERED]
iPad 1G                          [TETHERED]
---------------------------------------------
Those wondering, the jailbreakme exploit
cannot be integrated into applications
such as PwnageTool/redsn0w/sn0wbreeze.
---------------------------------------------
redsn0w seems to be having sandbox errors
due to it using the old b1 kernel.
I and many others have not seen any issues
with sn0wbreeze related to AppStore apps.
If you prefer to use redsn0w, I am sure
@MuscleNerd is working on a fix.

Jailbreak iOS 5 beta 3 - iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad - Redsn0w

Today the new Beta version of iOS 5 has been released named as iOS5 Beta 3. now there is need for most of the users of this new version of firmware to jailbreak their devices. There is good news for those that they can easily jailbreak the latest version of iOS 5 beta 3. There is no tool updated for the jailbreak, but the last version of Redsn0w that was released to jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 2 can jailbreak iOS Beta 3 as well. But this new version and jailbreak is only for developers. Here is the announcement made by MuscleNerd about the jailbreaking of new firmware.
This jailbreak method is same as was in the past for Redsn0w by putting the device in DFU mode, but remember this jailbreak is also tethered.

Here is a bit guide about jailbreaking new version iOS 5 Beta 3. first update you iDevice with this latest firmware via iTunes. Then you need to run Redsn0w 0.9.8 and select the firmware iOS 5.0 beta1. if you select other firmware then you will not be able to jailbreak your device running iOS Beta3.

Again this is tethered jailbreak, it means that every time you switch off your device, you will have to connect it to your PC and use the option “Just boot tethered right now” to use your device.

iOS 5 Beta 3 Can Be Jailbroken Using Redsn0w 0.9.8b1; But App Store Apps Are Not Working
iOS 5 beta 3 that has just been seeded to developers of iOS developer program can be jailbroken using Redsn0w 0.9.8b1.iPhone Dev team had released Redsn0w 0.9.8b1 for Mac and Windows for iOS beta 1 for developers of jailbreak app developers so that they can test and debug their jailbreak apps and tweaks on iOS 5.

After upgrading your iOS device to iOS 5 beta, the trick is to point Redsn0w 0.9.8b1 to iOS 5 beta 1 firmware file to jailbreak it.MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has also confirmed this on Twitter:

Today's 5.0b3 can be jailbroken with last month's redsn0w http://is.gd/6eek4Y (point it at 5.0b1 IPSW..devs only please!)

But please proceed with caution if you’re not a jailbreak app developer as we’re hearing reports that App Store apps do not working after jailbreaking iOS 5 beta 3. ModMyI reports:

After playing around on iOS 5 beta 3 while jailbroken, it has been discovered that AppStore applications do not work. They crash and refuse to open. It is an issue that has been reported by a few people, including myself.

According to hacker, Clayton Braasch it is due to a sandboxing issue:

To reiterate: there's a sandbox issue causing App Store apps to crash after jailbreaking iOS 5 beta 3. Stay away if you're not a developer.

It needs to be seen if this is due to some anti-jailbreaking measure introduced by Apple in the latest iOS 5 beta.
