Despite some good signs on untethered jailbreak for iOS 5, there is no iOS 5 untethered jailbreak as of now. But thanks to a new tweak "SemiTether" at "Cydia" users can now boot their iDevices running jailbroken iOS 5 without needing a computer.

The semi-tethered jailbreak allows users reboot anywhere but with some limited functionality, "SemiTethred" users can use their phone, text, and many other features but will mostly sacrifice the "Cydia" tweaks which require a usual "Just Boot" re-exploit using "redsn0w".

The best thing about open-source and crowd-sourcing is that there is no limit to the amount of creativity and development a product/feature can achieve once subject to public development, thanks to SiriProxy Plugin hack independent developers are creating amazing stuff like controlling their rooms, computers, and even cars.

To get things a notch above iPhone Hacker robb created a "Siri Hack" for the Music Hack Day 2011, Robb used the SiriProxy and developed "Notorious Siri" plugin which raps the "Notorious B.I.G.’s Hypnotize song". Full video after the jump.

If you have successfully jailbreaked your iDevice but ended up with an "White Cydia" icon - here is the solution.

We shared an step-by-step guide on how to perform the tethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 yesterday, and now some good news is coming from iOS developer "@pod2g" as he demonstrated the much-awaited, first-ever "untethered jailbreak for iOS 5" (untethered jailbreak allows users to reboot their devices without connecting to a desktop computer) publicly on video.

The recently uploaded video by pod2g shows an jailbroken iPod Touch 3G running iOS 5.0, with an untether exploit in iOS 5. According to pod2g the exploit found by him is an "userland exploit", meaning we could soon see an easy-to-use browser based jailbreak. pod2g will now try to jailbreak 5.0.1 and then start working on the iPhone 4, iPad 1, iPod Touch 4G, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak.

Apple iOS 5.0.1 update is out now and so is the redsn0w jailbreak, follow the detailed step-by-step instructions below to get your iOS 5.0.1 install jailbroken and install Cydia.
