Jailbreak and Unlock iOS 5.0 :
ACTIVATED = for official carrier users (who has SIM card from an official carrier) and UN-ACTIVATED who doesn’t have any SIM card from official carrier but different SIM card from a different network which don’t have any contract with apple before downloading read the instruction carefully on how to upgrade and use custom ipsw and then unlock your idevice.
Before starting the jailbreak please make sure that you have read this. The benefit of custom ipsw is that when upgrading it doesn’t change the baseband which means that u can still unlock your idevice once you upgrade to iOS 5 using custom ipsw! If u have in anyway didn’t use custom ipsw and upgraded to iOS 5 then the baseband gets upgraded and you will lose your unlock forever!! So remember always use custom ipsw to upgrade to future iOS if you want or if u rely on unlock! So here are the steps you need to jailbreak and unlock your idevice (if u get errors make sure that you delete sauriks server from hosts file) read the instructions carefully and how to use semi-tether below this table!

How to use Semi-Tethered from cydia :
What’s Semi-Tethered jailbreak
iOS 5 semi-tethered jailbreak is a kind of jailbreak which allows you to reboot your device without needing to a compute for “Just Tethered Boot” option in redsn0w. Yes, it’s similar to an untethered jailbreak but actually 99% of your jailbreak related apps and tweaks won’t work at all. The semi-tethered jailbreak is made as a protection for you if your device reboots while you’re on the road. It allows you to make the most of important functions.
1) Can use phone, sms (text messages)
2) Can use every other stock app on iPhone.
3) Can use mobile safari
4) can use other appstore web browsers such as atomic web browser
5) cannot use mail app. You could install a Gmail or Hotmail app from appstore or such instead.
6) You cannot use any jailbreak tweak, app, cydia until you boot tethered.
7) While in the semitether booted state, you should not add a jailbreak ios5 notification such as sbsettings to notifications during this state or your device will be stuck in a respring loop until you get home to “boot tethered”.
What’s Tethered jailbreak
Tethered jailbreak means you’ll have to plug your iOS device into your compute every time it’s rebooted and choose the just tethered boot option from redsn0w. In case you don’t have a computer near you (with redsn0w), your device will be stuck on Apple logo.
What’s Untethered jailbreak
That’s the jailbreak where you can reboot your device without having to worry about it not booting up again. Hackers are currently working to get untethered jailbreak on iOS 5.
Supported devices & firmares: No iPad 2 or iPhone 4S support. It supports iOS 5 on the following devices.
