The new iOS 5.1 appeared on Apple event on March 7 together with Apple TV and the new iPad 3. We’ve already warned all the jailbreakers and people who don’t rely on carrier unlock to stay away from upgrading to iOS 5.1 and keep the jailbroken iOS 5.0.1 or iOS 5.0. The main reason to stay on iOS 5.0.1 is the fact that it’s the last iOS with untethered jailbreak available. The only way to fix this is to Downgrade iOS 5.1 to 5.0.1/5.0.So right now accidental update to iOS 5.1 is a big trouble because there’s no untethered jailbreak for any device. That means that if you updated to iOS 5.1 you’ll have to boot tethered for quite some time. The things get even worse for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (3) owners as there’s no public jailbreak for those devices at the time.
