With this tutorial you will be able to update your iPhone to iOS 5.0.1 without uploading the baseband to be able to use the Gevey SIM or ultrasn0w.

Ultrasn0w will be updated today on December 19, 2011 to become compatible with iOS 5.0.1, it is a matter of hours.

You need:

That the iPhone is in a version prior to iOS 5.0.1

Remember that later you can do a tethered (tied) jailbreak and that you will need to restart each time with Redsnow using the option "just boot tethered right now" (including the first time, or Cydia and Safari will not work for you).

(this tutorial is for both Windows and Mac)

    Hello, I just wanted to know if when I did this, the notifications would work well for me since I read that it gave problems, since I for example with the version that I have now 4.3.3 I have to install SAM so that they work for me, I have to reinstall it Can it be installed in this version? Another question is that I did not want to lose contacts or photos, and not lose but that they are again in the mov, I mean the photos with their location etc ... Well thank you very much in advance, and I hope you can help me THANK YOU

  2.   alberto said

    hello, well nothing, I have already updated my iphone 4 to this version keeping my baseband 04.10.01. while I wait for the gevey card from deal extreme to arrive, let's see how it goes. I have done the tethered jailbreak and everything is fine as always. Regards.

    1.    alfonso said

      This is the unthered jailbreak, so that it works better for you and this is great

  3.   Arlen said

    I get error 3196, how do I solve this?

  4.   I'm coming said

    Well, the error 3194 to me, but every time I try, a different number appears, the joke is that it does not accept the custom firmware, any solution? Thanks.

    1.    I'm coming said

      Ok, I repeated the steps again, but this time I gave it in the properties of redsn0w that of compatibility with win xp2, in the same way, without closing the redsn0w software, I opened itunes and performed the resauration this time without problems, so I don't know what it was the problem, that of not having given the compatibility from the beginning to redsn0w, or having closed it and then opened itunes. So let's try it if you can, I'm already on 5.0.1 with a base band 04.11.08 that I think is not compatible with ultrasn0w but anyway, I no longer wanted to continue uploading bb, xD Thank you .. and greetings,

  5.   cobra said

    Hello
    Is this jailbreak better than snowbreeze? I have preserved the baseband with that one and I was impressed that it goes a bit slow. Do you advise me to jailbreak it with redsnow?

    Also lately it is happening to me that I answer a call and do not hear someone have the same thing happened?
    regards

  6.   Christian said

    I have a problem ! I updated to ios 5.0.1 without uploading in baseband (ios 4.1 - bb: 02.10.04) but the gevey does not work 100% in the signal bars I only see one, the last time that happened to me I installed the ultrasnow and I solve the problem, but this time I can not find it in the cydia. what I do?????

  7.   Mari said

    At the beginning of the restoration, it marks an error 10 what does it refer to and how can I solve it ????? Help !!

  8.   Roberto said

    Can someone tell me what is the baseband that is standard on ios 5.0.1?

    Thank you

  9.   Christian said

    Ultrasn0w is already updated !!!

    1.    Roberto said

      And what does that mean? What function does it have at the moment?

  10.   Christian said

    it is simply the tool you need to unlock your iphone (depending on the baseband you have)

    1.    Roberto said

      By 04.10. It's not there yet, thank you

  11.   Miguel said

    I have ios 4.1 - bb: 02.10.04 and I have the gevey, if I do it, will everything work fine? regards

  12.   public123 said

    is there someone who can help me?
    update my iphone 4 with gevey sim but it does not go beyond: connect to itunes with a valid sim. what I do?

    1.    jesus said

      the first time you have to start it with the original sim of the company

    2.    give said

      You can request it by jailbreak

  13.   gerardo said

    I don't have the original chip that the iphone came with! Can it be done the same or do I need if or if the chip of the company with which it is blocked?
    I use a gevey and it is an iphone 4 with baseband 04.10.01

  14.   jesus said

    Hi everybody, i have a doubt:
    I have an iphone 4 with 4.3.5 and bb 4.10.01. I currently have it working with gevey sim.
    the fact is that it doesn't let me do the custom firmware with this method (memory exhaust). What I can do?? If I restore via iTunes, will the gevey still work for me?

    thanks and regards

  15.   Fran said

    To just create the custom without restoring it, you just have to do as far as it says. Your firmware will have been created in the same folder as Redsn0w. Or do you have to continue with the rest?

    Thanks for your time

  16.   Oscar said

    when I try to upload the firmware to redsn0w, when it is creating or loading it, after a while it tells me »Memory exhausted» how can I solve this?

  17.   Victor said

    When I restore with the firmware created I get error 1602.

    Anyone else has happened? What I do?

    Thank you

    1.    paul said

      Hello to me I get the same error !!!! I hope you can help us as soon as possible… .. thanks

  18.   Franko said

    I used RedSnow I made a custom and installed and everything fine, only that, only a signal line appears, but everything works fine
    And the other thing is that I don't have cydia, hahaha

  19.   Franko said

    My iPhone is legal, but I want to keep the BB, and if I succeed, I have not tried to use another sim, or anything I mean unlock, because I do not have Cydia, there how?
    I just install the custom one, I have an iPhone 4, and it was on iOS 4.0.2 and I went up to 5.0.1 without modifying BB but I don't think I have the JB

  20.   enrique said

    Very good post works great for me, I just need to try the GEVEY to be completely sure but I say that if I have version 5.0.1 and firmware 02.10. that I had before, excellent thanks….

    1.    jacir said

  21.   Carlos said

    hello friends my problem is that when loading the version created with RedSnow itunes sends me error 1602 from there it did not happen I would appreciate some solution thanks for your time

  22.   licweidy said

    good my problem is that when restoring from itunes with the file "NO BB" that I create with redsnow it gives me unknown error (10)

  23.   noeeee said

    I have a question what happens if I update to ios 5.1 already once having the costum firmware 5.0.1? does the baseband upload if I do it via OTA?

  24.   Patrick said

  26.   Eder said

    Good evening, I hope and you can answer this question that I have, I want to install the ios 5.0.1 to my iPhone 4 obviously without uploading the bb 2.10.04 that I have, but apparently to see that the redsn0w was already updated and that with this update can the jailbrke untethered be done, so, I do it with the new redsn0w or with the one that the tutorial is marked with?

  27.   George said

    1.    Franko said

      you have to pass it back to redsn0w and tell it to be cydia

  28.   roberto said

    Is it the same for cdma ?? It is not the original operator, would you block it?

  29.   iServer7 said

      You can Hack activate it with redsn0w and then activate it with SAM and the notifications work perfect !!

    1.    jonizx said

      ok ... it was nothing solved

  34.   SUSPECT O77 said

    sorry if I already have an iphone with ios 5.0.1 and firmware on 04.10.01, what do I have to do directly with the jailbreack or what should I do without uploading the firmware or ios because I use gevey supreme ultra blue

  35.   XCorle said

    Hello! I have an iphone 4 with 4.2.1 with baseband 03.10.01 and I use it with a gevey sim and without jailbreak. If I try to update to ios 5.0.1 with this tutorial, will it work fine or does it need to be jailbroken for the update to work? Thanks!

    1.    jonizx said

      I was the same as you, with 4.2.1 and with bb 03.10.01 also using gevey ultra. I recommend that you remove the shsh beforehand, update it and make sure you don't upload the bb, otherwise the gevey won't work. I also recommend that you use the snowbreeze to make yourself the custom by downloading the official ios and with that program kitale the bb, then activate it with a sim from the iphone company since if not then you will have problems, at least in my case I I had them, and then you give him the jail .. for the gevey to work well I have to install the furiousmod d cydia ..

  36.   Luigi said

    To everyone, I tell you that today using this tutorial I managed to update my iphone 4 to ios 5.01 keeping the base band and unlocking it with my Gevey Sim. The only thing, they need to have the original sim to activate via iTunes, if not, I don't know how it would be done. I bought my iPhone in an apple store in the US (at & t) and I always used it with gevey sim, I have wanted to update it for months and it did not encourage me, until today I said "enough" if the ca ** la ca ** and me I buy a new one, but no, everything PERFECT. THANK YOU!

  37.   Alejandro said

    Hello, can anyone help me? I updated my Iphone 4 to IOS 5.0.1 and I jailbroken it with cydia, and the gevey sim does not work for me, it appears "no service", I did not realize I did not know that it had to be done in this way that it explains on this page, what do I have to do now???
    Help!

    1.    Alejandro said

      And if I go back to IOS 4.3.3 as it was before and try again what the instructions say ???

      1.    gnzl said

        do not bother, the bb does not get off.

        1.    Alejandro said

          I did not understand? By other means I read that you can go back to the previous IOS thanks to the SHSH that cydia has, but you say that if I go back the bb will be as it is now?

          1.    jonizx said

            If cydia has them, yes, you can go back .. but only if you have them or you took them out and saved them .. but even if you go back to the previous ios, the baseband does not go down or go back to the way it was before or anything .. the bb only goes up .. sorry friend… release it x imei ……… ..

  38.   Carlos Arturo Chamorro Serna said

    my iphone is 3gs 32gb ios 4.1 BaseBand 05.14.02, i want to upload to ios 5.01. iTunes tells me to update, can I do it without losing functions?

  39.   SUSPECTS 077 said

    sorry if I already have an iphone with ios 5.0.1 and firmware on 04.10.01, what do I have to do directly with the jailbreack or what should I do without uploading the firmware or ios because I use gevey supreme ultra blue I have to clarify that I do not have the original SIM since I lost it, it is possible to do the procedure that I mention above if or not and how and why PLEASE HELP 🙂

    1.    jonizx said

      If you already have the ios 5.0.1 do the jail directly .. there are those who recommend that you remove the shsh ... the baseband does not go up for jail it .. and what d activate the iphone is when you update it .. to do what you you want it is not necessary .. it is already activated ...

      1.    SUSPECTS 077 said

        friend that is shsh

        1.    jonizx said

          They are signatures d apple so that ios goes on your iphone, each ios has its shsh, they serve to return to one more ios to go back ...

      2.    SUSPECTS 077 said

        And how do you get the shsh also is before jail I imagine and once I manage to get them out what should I do

  40.   Jaz Prieto said

    Hi guys! Excuse the ignorance, but if I do all these steps, can I use it with my gevey sim as I have been doing? I have version 4.1 and BB 02.10.04. Should I save SHSH for anything? It was very recently that I bought the iPhone 4, which is why I have so many doubts. I would really appreciate your help. 🙂

    1.    SUSPECTS 077 said

      EXACT FRIEND FIRST SAVE THE SHSH AND THEN FOLLOW THESE STEPS AT THE FOOT OF THE LETTER AFTER YOU DO THE JAILBREACK

  41.   Jaz Prieto said

    Should I jailbreak yes or yes ?. Will I have to connect it to the computer every time the phone turns off? Will I continue to have my applications and other things? I insist: sorry for the lack of knowledge in the area. I am very new. Thanks since now!

    1.    SUSPECTS 077 said

      OK friend before starting everything you make a follow-up copy of your iPhone then you save the SHSH and then these steps then if you want you do the JailBreack that is optional as for your APP if you will have them since the backup copy you It saves them because when you update one of the last options it gives you is to configure as a new iPhone or with backup via iTunes, you select that option after you let the process finish and ready all your APPs and music and everything again in Your iPhone also if you do the Jailbreack you do not need to connect to the computer every time you turn it off so that it turns on because if you do it with the most current RESN0W you can turn it on and off as many times as you want without the need for your computer

  42.   Jaz Prieto said

    More clear? Watch out. Pour water! He he. Thanks a thousand! Right now I'm doing everything you told me to do. The guide was very helpful! Any other consultation, by this means I will be bothering, surely.
    Thanks again! Then I tell you how I was! 😉

  43.   shamuck said

    Hi, friend! My question is this; where do i find the fireware 4.3.3 of iphone4? I have searched for it on several pages and they are simply a page that rebounds you with propaganda. If you can help me, I would really appreciate it.

  44.   Nelly said

    Hi, I have an ipad 1 with ios 4.3.5 and bb 7.11, I can change it to ios 5.0.1 and since I don't upload the bb, thanks for the clarification

  45.   Nelly said

    Hello what lora ah? the ipad 1 has internet service by sim, it already has jaibreak, the internet service will not be blocked when updating it to ios 5.0.1, and if it is blocked, what to do, thanks for the help.

  46.   Jaz Prieto said

    I cannot save my SHSH. Tried with TinyUmbrella and a tutorial I found on this place and it says there is nothing to save. Can that be true? What should I do then? : /

  47.   monster said

    I would like to know something, I already have the iPhone free for any operator but I do not have ios5 and I want to update it, when I do these steps I have to release it again ???? I ask this because I don't have the Geavy and to see if I save that talk!

    Hello, look, I have an iPhone 3GS from movistar but I have it released and pirated, in principle I put the cydia in it and in a store they released it but they told me that I could not update the IOS with iTunes because if it did not go away everything to hell. I don't know much about this ... I don't know what the baseband is or anything like that ... I'm very ignorant ... (and I apologize for that xD) I would like to know how to update the iPhone without removing the released one or anything, because I'm from orange… Can anyone help me? Thanks!!!

    Another question I have is… I have other friends with pirated Apple devices (iPods, iPhones…) but when they turn it on they get a skull but I don't… WHY? WHY ???? I WANT CALAVERITAAA !!!

    greetings… Thank you !!! =)

    1.    erick said

      hello adriana the reason why you don't get the skull is because your iphone is jeilbreak with redsnow and not with the believe ... and to update your iphone better start from scratch I mean restoring your iphone so that there are problems and you go to the sure thing !!! regards

  52.   Aurelio said

    I have an iphone 3gs, I uploaded the baseband and released it with ultrasnow, everything perfect, even the gps that they say does not work, it is in 4.1 but I want to upload it to 5.0.1. I have created the custom firmware with redsn0w 0.9.9b9b but when I try to update it with itunes after having it in dfu it gives me an error. help help help.

  53.   Issaul said

  54.   luz66 said

    Hello Aurelio and Issaúl, do everything said in the tutorial but without closing resdn0w, go to iTunes and restore, tell me if it works, did they make a copy in iTunes? If everything goes well, you can restore and load the copy, I hope everything is ok

  55.   Wolverine said

    hello everyone, the same thing happens to me
    I have a 3gs with 4.0 and I have started uploading it to 5.0.1. but when you go to itunes you try it gives an error and it can't
    what I do?!?

  56.   Alexander said

    does not work, gives error 3194

  57.   Christian said

    Same fucking error 3194

    1.    luz66 said

      Hello, do you have the latest itunes 10.6? update it and try again, if it happens, set it as new so that it doesn't bother you and if you don't have to do what akarikk says.

  58.   akarikk said

    The error is due to the fact that mac has removed the verifications of all firmware prior to 5.1 to prevent them from uploading to some other verison and can do the jailbreak, it happened to me when I wanted to update an iphone to 5.0.1 and not but it did not go from error to error if you give it with the tinyumbrela that does not connect to the server it throws errors like 3194, and if you correct that it gives you 21 or 1 etc, and if it activated the one that connected it would throw me I believe the 3194 that if I remember correctly, it is that it is not certified, what to do then? Since by no means did he let me leave the recovery mode? I had to update to 5.1, so water, in my case I did not stay more than that to go up there fortunately there was already the jail for 5.1 if tethered but something is something, so for those who want to update DO NOT do it until already There is the untethered for 5.1 and there if they do what they want and quickly it will not be that they release 5.2 and they can no longer update to 5.1

  59.   Baldo said
