today I'm here with the tutorial showing a head install a semi tethered jailbreak on iOS 5 now before I get begin with the tutorial let me briefly explain what exactly the semi tethered jailbreak is so ordinarily if you're on iOS 5 right now you have what's known as a tethered jailbreak now what this means is that knee time your device needs to reboot need to go find your computer and rerun the original jailbreak program to get it to boot properly now this can definitely be an annoyance especially if you know there's a crash or there's anything kind of problem be without your phone so you get to a computer definitely can be quite annoying and what this is it's kind of a middle ground so while it with the semi tethered jailbreak you can still reboot your device now what won't work is a couple of things so far I won't work any cydia apps or tweaks or anything like that as well as your mail app will not work however everything else will so you can still make calls and still you know get on the App Store you can use apps and that kind of thing but it's definitely better than nothing i definitely recommend if you guys do have a tethered jailbreak at least update it to make it as semi tethered jailbreak with this tutorial alright so the first step is to open cydia and then come over to the manage tab here you're going to need to click on sources and click edit and add in the repo you're going to need to add is the big boss org slash semi tether and i'll have that in the description as well as on screen somewhere so once you have that and it's all done you just go ahead and open up the repo itself there's only going to be one package here and it's called as you may have guessed semi tethered now all you need to do is of course you do need to be jailbroken obviously that should go without saying before you do this but beyond that that all you do is just install this package so you can scroll down and read about it of course I am explaining what it is all about so all you do is click install as soon as semi untether is installed you're good to go however I want going to give you guys a demo of what it actually how it works so we're going to do is go ahead off our device and of course ordinarily to get it to turn back on at all we would need to you know of course we jailbreak it and all that kind of stuff however you get to let's see here in a minute with Simeon tether that is not a longer the case once your device is rebooted you should find that it works basically just fine the only things that will not work or basically Cydia based applications so we try to open up cydia or any kind of jailbreak tweaks they will just not work on top of that if we open up Notification Center example if you had any widget such as sbsettings they will not work and I do not try to enable any of these as it couldn't cause a crash just try to use it as a non jailbroken device at least until you can get to your computer and then once you do Buddha's tether just like normal you'll be able to use all the jailbreak tweaks you like I also do want to note that if you have AB sink installed it will not work whatsoever with this and a couple of the apps such as safari and mail will not be working however overall at least having most functionality there is better than just having a dead device that you need to plug in at the end of the day so there we go anyway guys if you have any questions or comments feel free to leave them in the comments section below it's a compatible with any iOS 5 tethered jailbreak so that means ipod touch ipad or iphone doesn't really matter anyway guys if you enjoyed this video definitely be sure to leave it a thumbs up it really does help me out and if you're interested in more videos like this then definitely be sure to subscribe
