To get the latest version of the iOS ready and out in the market, Apple has been making its software engineers work hard. The hard work has given out the desired result and the users can have the software ready for installation now. It is an update for fixing bugs. If the users have already jailbroken, they will have to go through the entire process again. The RedsnOw jailbreak tool is updated to help the users in accomplishing their work. This application has to be mounted on the computer so people who are planning to use it might find it slightly inconvenient.

Every time the users want to reboot the system, they have to tether it to the computer and if you are one who feels uncomfortable with this then the tool is not meant for you. This method will work only for the A4 powered-devices such as iPad 1 or iPhone 4.

Now even before you proceed a bit, you will have to download the RedsnOw tool on to the Windows or Mac which ever you are using. Then you will have to install the new iOS 5.1.1 software using iTunes or using the OTA method. Then you can run Redsn0w executable file. Select the IPSW option from Extras and on the main screen of RedsnOw, you will get Jailbreak button. RedsnOw will help you connect to the connecter and RedsnOw will recognize it and the jailbreak will run automatically then.

When the reboot happens in the device, the jailbreak is complete and the users will get the Cydia on the home screen. Any time the users need to reboot the device, they must plug it and choose the option Just Boot from the Extras section of the RedsnOw screen.
