Sn0wbreeze 2.8b11 Released To Support iOS 5.0.1

On the release of every new iOS software update from Apple, hackers and developers start to update their tools to support the new update. With the release of iOS 5.0.1, iH8sn0w today updated Sn0wbreeze to support iOS 5.0.1. Sn0wbreeze 2.8b11 briefly brings iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak on Windows using custom firmwares.

There’s currently no untethered iOS 5 jailbreak, but there will be soon thanks to a security flaw and iOS 5 bug. However, a semi tethered jailbreak can be done using redsn0w 0.9.9b8 then installing SemiTether from Cydia, full details and instructions here.
What’s the advantage of Sn0wbreeze 2.8b11? Well, Sn0wbreeze 2.8b11 allows you to cook pre-jailbroken custom firmwares of iOS 5.0.1 final version with your tweaks & apps. It also allows you to preserve your iPhone baseband so you can unlock it using the updated Ultrasn0w.
