A very good news for everybody using the "Tethered" or "SemiTethered Jailbreak" as finally the wait is over and we now have a Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 (no need to connect your device to a computer while rebooting), dubbed Corona 5.0.1 Untether the very small 44.6 KB only cydia tweak is all you need to get the untethered jailbreak on your iOS 5 apple device. Supporting all supported A4 & lower Apple devices (iPhone 4, iPhone 4 (CDMA), iPhone 3GS, iPad 1, iPod Touch 4G & iPod Touch 3G), this userland jailbreak is courtesy of pod2g.
We all are eagerly waiting for the untethered iOS 5 jailbreak, and after the initial announcement by pod2g, some very good news is coming from his end as he confirmed tested, working untethered jailbreak on Apple iPad 1 and iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.01.

Despite some good signs on untethered jailbreak for iOS 5, there is no iOS 5 untethered jailbreak as of now. But thanks to a new tweak "SemiTether" at "Cydia" users can now boot their iDevices running jailbroken iOS 5 without needing a computer.
The semi-tethered jailbreak allows users reboot anywhere but with some limited functionality, "SemiTethred" users can use their phone, text, and many other features but will mostly sacrifice the "Cydia" tweaks which require a usual "Just Boot" re-exploit using "redsn0w".
We shared an step-by-step guide on how to perform the tethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 yesterday, and now some good news is coming from iOS developer "@pod2g" as he demonstrated the much-awaited, first-ever "untethered jailbreak for iOS 5" (untethered jailbreak allows users to reboot their devices without connecting to a desktop computer) publicly on video.
The recently uploaded video by pod2g shows an jailbroken iPod Touch 3G running iOS 5.0, with an untether exploit in iOS 5. According to pod2g the exploit found by him is an "userland exploit", meaning we could soon see an easy-to-use browser based jailbreak. pod2g will now try to jailbreak 5.0.1 and then start working on the iPhone 4, iPad 1, iPod Touch 4G, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak.
