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.

Apple has always tried restricting users to their closed "Premium eco-system" where smaller things like "cables" and "connectors" are highly-charged and users are tried to stop from using cheaper alternatives, hackers have always got their way around these limitations like "This Accessory Is Not Made To Work With iPhone" error while using cheaper third-party non-Apple A/V cable's. I faced a similar issue recently when my iPhone started displaying error "Charging is not supported with this accessory" and refused to get charged despite being using a genuine Apple iPhone cable !!
