A new Cydia package called “SemiTether” jailbreak for iOS 5 is now available on BigBoss repository which basically helps reboot tethered-jailbroken iPhone and iPod touch without having to plug in your device into PC or Mac. This is second best thing to having an untethered jailbreak. The only one downside to it is that it doesn’t allow you to use Safari, Mail, Cydia, and jailbreak apps installed on your device.

The iPhone Dev-Team has released an updated version of Redsn0w 0.9.9 which not only brings support for iOS 5 jailbreak (final) for Windows users, but also an important Location Services issue fix for iPhone 3GS users who are running iPad’s 06.15 baseband.
Earlier this week, Apple seeded iOS 5 Beta 6 to developers for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch which includes usual bug fixes and performance enhancements.
Earlier today, Apple released the new iOS 4.3.5 firmware to patch a critical security issue with certificate verification in iOS. It is important to note that there is currently no untethered jailbreak solution available for both iOS 4.3.4 (which was released on 15th July) and the just released iOS 4.3.5. Do NOT update to 4.3.5 or 4.3.4 if you want to keep your untethered jailbreak.
Earlier today, Apple released iOS 4.3.4 to close the PDF jailbreak hole which was exposed by Comex’s JailbreakMe 3.0. We have already warned you NOT to update to 4.3.4 if you want to keep your untethered jailbreak. If you updated by mistake, you can downgrade back to 4.3.3 and enjoy full untethered jailbreak as long as you have saved SHSH blobs for the firmware you are downgrading on.
Released alongside iOS 4.3.4 is iOS 4.2.9 for CDMA based iPhone 4 on Verizon’s network that patches PDF vulnerability in Mobile Safari exposed by the recently released JailbreakMe 3.0 tool by Comex.
The famous iPhone developer and hacker Steven, who is more popularly known as @ih8sn0w on Twitter, has just released an updated version of Sn0wbreeze 2.8 for iOS 5 beta 1 jailbreak. This new version of Sn0wbreeze adds support for untethered iOS 5 jailbreak on iPhone 3GS, sporting old bootrom.
Yes you read that right, MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has posted some pictures on his twitter account, confirming the jailbreak works fine on iOS 5, but of course it is limited to tethered boot only, which means you will have to connect it to your computer on every reboot.
And just when you thought it was safe to go back online on Sony, and their online services such as the PlayStation Network, a group called LulzSec today has managed to hack SonyPictures.com, resulting in over 1 million accounts being compromised.
In an event held in New York City, Microsoft today has announced Windows Phone ‘Mango’ update which brings over 500 new features to the platform.
