The Apple event brought us many interesting things such as new iPad, iMovie for iPad, iWork for iPad, Apple TV and many other interesting features. iOS 5.1 was among them. The new iOS brought lots of nice features and now you can feel them together with all the freedom jailbreak and Cydia give you. Few days ago fresh release of Sn0wbreeze 2.9.2 appeared and made iOS 5.1 semi untethered jailbreak possible. Tethered version of jailbreak means that if device’s battery dies or you have to reboot you need to connect your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch to the computer and boot using jailbroken state in order to enjoy jailbreak benefits again. Sn0wbreeze 2.9.2 semi untethered jailbreak only works with Apple’s A4 processors. Sorry iPhone 4S and iPad 2 owners. And sorry future New iPad’s owners. If you possess one of the following devices: iPod Touch, iPad, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 (the all are based on A4 processor), and want iOS 5.1 jailbreak so badly that you even can stand its tethered status, then read our detailed jailbreak guide.

Jailbreak Step 7: Next window displays number of options for all usage types. In case if you aren’t sure of what they mean and you just want a simple jailbreak with Cydia installation, select ‘Build IPSW’ and click the blue arrow as usual to proceed with Sn0wbreeze 2.9.2 semi untethered jailbreak.

Jailbreak Step 8: Sn0wbreeze tool is restore based and creates custom pwned iOS 5.1 firmware file. Once the firmware creation process is completed a confirmation screen will appear. Process completed successfully.

Jailbreak Step 9: Now you have to put your phone into DFU mode (device firmware upgrade). Just follow the on-screen steps. If you’re doing this for the first time probably you’ll have to practice a little bit. As soon as Sn0wbreeze 2.9.2 semi untethered jailbreak tool detects your device in the DFU mode, device’s screen will turn black and confirmation window will pop-up.

For doing that you have to open iTunes while the device is still in the DFU mode. Click on the device name in the left side bar. Click ‘Restore’ in the central window to go to the search prompt. Find your Custom IPSW and double click it. The process will look exactly like usual iTunes restore operation and the device will be loaded with Sn0wbreeze 2.9.2 semi untethered jailbreak.
